Stealing Your Heart

In his mind, he told himself over and over again. That is not real. If I am afraid, I’m being tricked.

He must not be afraid.

Steadily he walked towards the bed, then he held the blanket and jerked hard to remove it. However, there was nothing under the covers. He turned around, looked at Zong Jinghao who was standing at the doorway and asked, “Where’s that doll?”

When Zong Jinghao was bringing him up here, someone was sent to get rid of it.

He was proud of Lin Xichen’s bravery and he felt comforted as well.

He walked in and his huge palm caressed Lin Xichen’s head affectionately. “You are a brave boy!”

“Of course,” Lin Xichen lifted his head in pride. He looked a little arrogant. “I am mummy’s son. Of course I’m brave. I promised her that when I grow up, I’ll protect her, but…”

Just now when we arrived, mummy seemed upset.

What should I do?

“Mummy seemed upset.” Lin Xichen blinked his eyes.

Zong Jinghao noticed that. “Let’s go,” he said.

He took Lin Xichen downstairs and sent him to the private room to have dinner with Shen Peichuan and the others. Then, he went to find Lin Xinyan.

Lin Xinyan was still standing on the steps. She was struggling with herself and felt deeply troubled.

She was rather regretful that she did not stop them just now.

Seeing Lin Xinyan, Zong Jinghao stopped. Then he walked steadily towards her, “You have to trust our son.”

Lin Xinyan turned and looked at him standing not far away from her. Of course she believed in her son, but he was only five!

“Zong Jinghao, are you insane?” She rushed over, punching and kicking him. He stood unmoving like a mountain, letting her vent her anger.

Lin Xinyan was too emotional. She flung her hands about and Zong Jinghao was worried that she would hurt herself. He grabbed her hands, and held her in his arms tightly, saying, “Calm down.”

“If you let him look, it means that he will get hurt for a second time? How can I keep calm? If he is frightened out of his mind, I’ll hate myself for the rest of my life!”

Zong Jinghao rubbed her back again and again, speaking softly to her, “Good girl, he won’t be scared out of his mind.”

His hand and his voice seemed to have some type of power. In his embrace, Lin Xinyan gradually calmed down.

She raised her head and looked at him. So close to him, Lin Xinyan could see every hair on his face. His skin was very smooth. No, she was getting carried away. She willed her thoughts back to her son, “How is he?”
