Stealing Your Heart

Lin Xinyan ran off in the rainbow of starlight. The past year had been a remarkable year with many happenings, and each of them was beyond her expectations. It might have been a lucky year or a lousy year, but one thing for sure, it had been a year full of surprises.

She stood in the whirling snow, holding the hands of her two children, looking up at the blaze of colors bursting in the sky.

Zong Jinghao, on the other hand, stood watching them from not far away.

This year had no doubt been a surprise to him as well.

Chinese New Year’s Eve was all about staying up late. After having a fun time outside, they were greeted by a whiff of warm air as they pushed the door open. Zong Qifeng and Cheng Yuxiu were sitting on the couch in the living room, watching the Spring Festival Gala on TV while Aunt Yu and another maid had prepared a table of fruits.

The two children had probably stayed too long outside and digested their dinner because they started munching again while watching TV as soon as they entered inside.

At twelve o’clock, the Chinese New Year bell tolled.

The kids were so excited that they refused to sleep, and they ended up spending the first day of Chinese New Year in bed.

On the second day, it was Lin Xinyan’s birthday.

Lin Xichen had bought her a huge cake.

After giving birth to two children, Lin Xinyan never celebrated her birthday. She understood that it was the day to celebrate her mother instead who had undergone excruciating pain in giving birth to her.

Therefore, every year on her birthday in the past, she wouldn’t buy a cake nor remind anyone, but she would buy a gift for her mother.

The huge cake Lin Xichen bought had eight layers, and sitting on top of the cake was a doll in a wedding dress.

It didn’t look like a birthday cake but a wedding cake.

“Do you like it?” Lin Xichen asked.

Lin Xinyan nodded. “Yeah, but it’s a little weird.”

“You mean her?” Lin Xichen pointed at the doll.

Before Lin Xinyan could say yes, he went on explaining, “You’re a fashion designer. You’ve designed many wedding dresses for others, but you’ve never worn one yourself. I want you to wear it once too, and I think you’ll look best in it.”
