Stealing Your Heart

The old man left her on a cliffhanger. “You’ll meet her soon enough. Now eat.”

“When will she come?” Lin Xinyan asked.

She began to get excited. “Do I know her?”

“I thought you were the kind to stay calm no matter what? Why are you so impatient now?” The old man asked with a hint of annoyance in his tone. “Just like Confucius quote, ‘A little impatience spoils great plans.’.”

He stood up after that. “Eat properly. I’m going in now.”

Lin Xinyan nodded. She did act a little rashly and considering that he was willing to talk to her about this meant that he didn’t mind telling her about what she wanted to know.

As long as she waited patiently for his sister to come, maybe all her questions would be answered.

Compared to the peace and quiet in the backyard, the front yard was in a seemingly organized chaos.

Bai Yinning decided to stay on as well, and his only companion was Gao Yuan. Compared to Zong Jinghao, he was greatly outnumbered.

The water flowing in the river shimmered under the moonlight, as though the galaxy had fallen into it.

The two kids were playing chess with Su Zhan and Qin Ya, while Zong Jinghao was sitting alone by the bridge and peering into the backyard.

The village was not brightly lit as the city, and when night falls, one could only see their surroundings if there was moonlight.

At that moment, the backyard was pitch black, and he couldn’t see a single thing, let alone Lin Xinyan. He stuck his hands into his pockets but didn’t look away, as though waiting for her appearance.

“I never knew you have such a good relationship with your wife, President Zong,” Bai Yinning said, pushing himself to Zong Jinghao’s side on his wheelchair. “As they say, ‘A day of separation feels as long as three autumns’?”

Zong Jinghao’s face flashed under the moonlight. He turned around and looked at Bai Yinning. “Shouldn’t you become a paparazzi? Since you’re so interested in the private matters of others, staying at Baicheng would be like imprisoning you.”

Bai Yinning’s expression changed for a moment, just barely noticeable under the faint glow of the moonlight. “If you don’t mind asking, why are your children carrying your wife’s surname? Unless…she gave birth to them without your knowledge?”

Bai Yinning had managed to glean from Lin Xichen the fact that Lin Xinyan gave birth to him and his sister after divorcing Zong Jinghao.

With that, she bestowed her surname upon them.
