Stealing Your Heart

Lin Xinyan swallowed hard as she tried to suppress her lustful thoughts. Her face flushed slightly as she fidgeted uneasily under his seductive fingers.

Zong Jinghao unbuttoned her collar and asked in a hoarse voice, “Will you change?”

Lin Xinyan turned around to look at him and stretched out her hands to caress his face before replying weakly, “I will become very ugly.”

Her face had turned ashen during the last few months when she was pregnant with Lin Ruixi and Lin Xichen.

“I won’t mind no matter how ugly you look.”

Zong Jinghao grabbed hold of her hands on his face and held them against the pillow before he planted his lips onto hers.

No! We can’t continue. Otherwise, both of us will feel even more terrible later!

She tried to stop him in a hoarse voice, “The doctor says that we aren’t allowed to…”

Not only was he undeterred by her words, but he continued to pull her in, claiming her lips again, hungry and intense, while murmuring, “You have no idea how much I want you.”

Her desire to have him was getting stronger by the minute. Finally, she turned her head away determinedly before she warned, “You stay away from me.”

We may end up committing a mistake if we carry on hugging and touching each other…

On the other hand, Zong Jinghao was trying his best to suppress his urge too. He pulled down her skirt and lay flat on the bed. A silence fell over them.

Time passed slowly.

Finally, Lin Xinyan spoke up after ten minutes.

“Have you ever blamed me for being too close to Cheng Yuxiu and caused so much trouble?” Although she had heard from Cheng Yuxiu about the close relationship between Wen Qing and Wen Xian before, she did not expect that Wen Qing would go to this extent for Wen Xian.

“No. Initially, I don’t understand, but I know that you have your own ideas.” Zong Jinghao’s voice was no longer hoarse and had resumed its usual calm tone.

Lin Xinyan turned around and buried her face in his chest. “Do you know that I like you? I want…” To help you take care of those whom you can’t care for personally.

Zong Jinghao suppressed his joy as he asked, “Are you confessing your love to me?”

“I guess so.”

He turned around, put his hands on her face and looked at her lovingly.

Lin Xinyan batted her eyelashes at him. “You haven’t settled the problem yet?”

He planted a kiss on her forehead before pulling her into his embrace. “I will settle the problem soon. You just rest well and don’t think about other matters. Don’t take others’ words to heart. Those are only my temporary plans. You must only trust me.”
