Stealing Your Heart

After he had finished counting the money, Lin Xichen passed it to his sister and looked at Zong Jinghao. He blinked, his eyelashes fluttering. “You don’t even know my Mommy’s birthday. How can you call yourself her husband?”

Zong Jinghao was rendered speechless.

He could not even rebuke Lin Xichen. Yeah, he’s right. I’m not a qualified husband. We’ve been married for six years. In fact, it’ll be seven years after tomorrow. Our kids are going to be six years old already, yet we’ve not even slept together yet.

Am I not an unqualified husband?

It’s my fault for not giving my wife happiness—in life and in bed.

Although Lin Xichen had already accepted Zong Jinghao, he had never forgotten about how Zong Jinghao had abandoned them. If he wants to win Mommy’s heart, he’ll need to put in some effort.

“Find out yourself.” It was evident that Lin Xichen was unwilling to reveal that piece of information. Crossing his arms over his chest, he announced, “Let me give you a hint. You don’t have much time left.”

Zong Jinghao raised his eyebrows. Not much time left?

Does this mean that her birthday’s going to happen in a few days?

Zong Jinghao crouched down to look his son in the eyes. “Do you believe that I can find out just by asking a single question?”

Nonetheless, Lin Xichen reacted swiftly and slapped a hand over his sister’s mouth.

He was afraid that Zong Jinghao would ask his sister. After all, Lin Ruixi was an easily-swayed person who always clung to Zong Jinghao. If he were to ask her, she would definitely spill the beans.

“Don’t try to coax my sister.” Lin Xichen glared at Zong Jinghao.

On the other hand, Lin Ruixi felt a bit flustered. What’s going on?

Why did Xichen suddenly cover my mouth?

“Mmm…”

“What are you doing?” asked Lin Xinyan. When she was walking down the stairs, she saw Lin Xichen covering Lin Ruixi’s mouth.

Zong Jinghao glanced at his son and grinned happily. “Just now, Ruixi said that your birthday is on the day after Chinese New Year. Then, Xichen insisted that she was wrong and covered her mouth.”

“It’s on…”
