Stealing Your Heart

Lin Xinyan cast her eyes downwards. Although Yuxiu had given birth to Zong Jinghao, she had missed the critical period of taking care and bonding with her child.

As of current, Zong Jinghao was still very distant from her.

This was not only a lifelong pity for Cheng Yuxiu. She was a miserable, yet noble lady.

If Lin Xinyan was in Yuxiu’s shoes, she might not have been able to do what Yuxiu had done.

“Try to convince Jinghao to stop being so bothered by it.” Li Jing sighed. “I actually understand. If my father married barely a month after my mother had passed away, I might even have hated the woman. In fact, I might have even possessed an urge to stab her with a knife. Regardless of who experienced this, no one can say for sure that they know exactly how a person would feel.

Yet, Jinghao managed to control his impulses. Although his relationship with Qifeng became tense, he did not cross the line. He’s giving Qifeng the cold shoulder because he just can’t get over this emotional hurdle. As Jinghao’s wife, you should try to counsel him more.”

Lin Xinyan nodded gently.

Li Jing was right too. It was impossible to know exactly how he felt in that situation. Only someone who had gone through the exact same thing could truly understand his state of mind.

Upon listening to what Cheng Yuxiu had said, she continuously thought from Yuxiu’s perspective on how to persuade Zong Jinghao.

However, she had never stood in Zong Jinghao’s shoes, to think about it from his perspective.

He did not know the fact that Cheng Yuxiu was his mother, as well as the complications that had occurred in the past, along with the sacrifices that she had made for him.

Hence, she should approach this issue by thinking from his perspective.

“I’ll take my leave first.”

At this moment, the study room’s door opened. Zong Jinghao soon walked out.

“I’ll send you out,” offered Wen Qing.

However, Zong Jinghao rejected his offer, saying that it was cold out there. As their car was parked just outside, they could quickly reach the car.

When Lin Xinyan saw the both of them walk out, she stood up from the sofa. Zong Jinghao walked towards her and urged, “Let’s go home.”

Lin Xinyan nodded.

“It’s still early. Why don’t you stay a little while longer?” Li Jing tried to hold them back.

“It’s okay. It’s actually getting late.” Lin Xinyan was eager to learn about what Wen Qing had told Zong Jinghao.
