Stealing Your Heart

After the meeting, Gao Yuan sent her back. When she returned home, Zong Jinghao was not back yet. The two children had already taken a bath and were about to go to bed.

Seeing Lin Xinyan entering the door, Lin Ruixi rushed over, hugged her leg, and said, “Mommy, you’re back!”

Lin Xinyan picked her up and kissed her on her cheek. “Why aren’t you sleeping?” she asked.

The little girl thought for a while and said, “I’m waiting for you.”

“What are you talking about? You were obviously staying up because you were drinking milk.” Lin Xichen exposed her unceremoniously.

The little girl blinked and glared at him. “Xichen is so annoying!”

The boy was wearing a set of fleece pajamas. He put down his glass of milk and glanced at his sister, “I merely told the truth.”

The little girl buried herself in Lin Xinyan’s arms coyly while saying, “Mommy, Xichen is bullying me.”

Lin Xinyan patted her on the back. “Alright now, he didn’t mean to bully you.”

Thinking that his sister was childish and only knew how to act like a baby, Lin Xichen went back to the room to sleep.

He slept alone now, and Lin Ruixi slept with Cheng Yuxiu.

She could not sleep alone because she was afraid.

Lin Xichen wondered what there was to be afraid of.

After washing the glasses that the two children used, Cheng Yuxiu walked over, looked at Lin Xinyan, and asked, “Did you come back alone?”

She hadn’t seen Zong Jinghao.

Lin Xinyan put Lin Ruixi down. “Go and play with your brother for a while.”

“I want Mommy to carry me.” Lin Ruixi clung onto her arms reluctantly.

Lin Xinyan coaxed her, “Ruixi is a good girl. If you wait till the weekend, Mommy will take you and Xichen out to play.”
