Stealing Your Heart

“Can I see mommy now?” When Lin Ruixi was picked up by Zong Jinghao and brought to the hotel, she asked that question because she thought that they had arrived at the destination and could meet Lin Xinyan right away.

Zong Jinghao was a little nervous, but soon recollected himself and said, “She’s playing hide-and-seek with us and wants us to find her. We haven’t found her yet for now.”

Lin Ruixi said with her pouting lips, “Alright.”

Baicheng wasn’t a large city. Even though it’s a county town, it looked more like a town that belonged to a prominent family, namely the Bai family.

Although the hotel wasn’t five-star, its environment, cleanliness and services were pretty good.

Shen Peichuan was carrying Lin Xichen who wasn’t awake yet, while a few people were carrying their luggage behind.

“This is already the best hotel in Baicheng. Would you be uncomfortable with it because it’s too small?”

When did Zong Jinghao ever stay in such a hotel before?

“Isn’t this a nice place?” Lin Ruixi blinked her eyes and asked as she didn’t understand why Mr. Shen said so.

Zong Jinghao took her firmly into his arms so that she couldn’t listen to their conversation. After Lin Ruixi opened her eyes widely to look at Zong Jinghao’s face, her eyes slowly squinted and seemed like a pair of crescent moon.

“Daddy, you’re so handsome.” She immediately buried her face into his chest after finishing speaking.

Zong Jinghao was inexplicably pleased by his daughter’s sweet compliment. He had never smiled ever since Lin Xinyan was missing, yet his lips quirked because of his daughter.

“Then, do you love daddy?”

The little girl answered without hesitation, “I do.”

Zong Jinghao kissed his daughter on her hair. Even though the fragrance of shampoo had worn off because she hadn’t taken a bath for two days, he still felt that his daughter smelled nice.

Once they reached their room, Shen Peichuan put Lin Xichen down on the bed and checked the surroundings. He had reserved all rooms on this floor as he knew that Zong Jinghao would need a serene environment.

Lin Ruixi was jumping up and down when she asked, “Daddy, are you going to help me take a bath?”

Zong Jinghao nodded and said, “Yes.”

She ran towards him to wrap his legs with her arms, looked up at him and said, “Daddy really is like mommy.”

Zong Jinghao held out his hand to lift her chin up and asked, “How is it that we are alike?”

“Because whatever I want, mommy will agree to it.” Once she finished speaking, the little girl let go of him and bounced up and down again.
