Stealing Your Heart

Seeing that it was Zong Jinghao, Lin Xichen began to panic, wondering if he had done something wrong.

“Why are you here?”

Zong Jinghao walked over and sat down at the side of his bed, ignoring his question completely. Before Lin Xichen could move away, Zong Jinghao grabbed his shoulders and asked, “Do you hate me so much?”

“That’s not true,” Lin Xichen denied.

“I knew exactly what you have done…”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

Lin Xichen shouted before Zong Jinghao could finish his sentence.

His little hands grasped the clean white sheets tightly, turning them into a crumpled mess.

How did Zong Jinghao even find out?

Zong Jinghao stroked his head. “You’re using Bai Yinning to compete with me for your mom’s attention, am I right?”

Lin Xichen’s eyes widened, and his face scrunched together comically. How did he know that?

“You’re my son,” Zong Jinghao said as he sighed.

When he heard from Bai Yinning that Lin Xinyan gave birth to the two kids after she divorced Zong Jinghao, he knew that it must have been Lin Xichen who told him about it.

That was something Lin Xinyan would never talk about, and not many people knew about it. Even Shen Peichuan and Su Zhan wouldn’t have known the full story.

Lin Xichen pursed his lips together to affirm Zong Jinghao’s suspicion.

He could bluff anyone, but never Zong Jinghao.

After all, he was his flesh and blood.

“Are you angry?” Lin Xichen asked, lowering his head and picking his fingers.

Zong Jinghao looked at him lovingly, a small smile formed on his lips. “I’m not mad. I’m just glad that you know how to take advantage of others.”

Lin Xichen got a huge shock. What was that?
