Stealing Your Heart

He smiled with confidence. “I don’t lie.”

Lin Xinyan felt relieved. “It’s so good to have you around.”

Zong Jinghao kissed her long hair. “So, aren’t you going to be a bit nicer to me?”

Lin Xinyan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. “I’ll tell you what, I am going to take a shower.”

She was quick to ready herself for the shower.

Zong Jinghao stood beside the bed and laughed rather helplessly. He feared that he would have to postpone his wedding night.

Lin Ruixi woke up, just as Lin Xinyan was taking a shower. Having skipped dinner, she must have been hungry by now.

Zong Jinghao carried her downstairs and called Aunt Yu for help.

“Hey, Ruixi is awake.” Aunt Yu approached them to find that the chubby little girl had just woken up.

“She is hungry.” Zong Jinghao explained calmly.

Aunt Yu asked, “Ruixi, what would you like to eat?”

The little girl just woke up and she was still in a daze. She had felt hungry. “Anything that tastes good will do.”

“How about I prepare broth wontons for you?”

“Mm.” Still in a daze, the little girl answered affirmatively.

Zong Jinghao carried her to the washroom. He had wanted to wash her face to wake her up.

The little girl refused to come up and she insisted on clinging unto her father. Zong Jinghao kissed her face affectionately. “How I’d wish that your mommy is sticky like you.”

“Mommy?” The little girl scrutinized the surroundings and asked, “Where is my mommy?”

“Mommy has gone for a bath.” Zong Jinghao washed her face carefully. “Let’s eat our broth wontons.”

Aunt Yu had prepared broth wontons and fried eggs. She had even cooked a big prawn with tomato sauce to whet Lin Ruixi’s appetite.

The little girl’s sense of smell was truly wonderful. As she reached the sitting room, she was thrilled by the pervasive, saliva-inducing smell. “Wow, I can smell it. So nice!”

Zong Jinghao was stunned beyond speech. What a sharp nose!

The little girl seemed to behave well that day. Aunt Yu put a napkin in front of her while she started feeding herself with a spoon.
