Stealing Your Heart

This time, Lin Xinyan kept the water in her mouth. The two of them had already been intimate with each other more times than she could count, but she still felt shy about doing this. However, she quickly shook it off and leaned forward to align her lips with his, then passed the water into his mouth.

All through it, Zong Jinghao gazed at her face whilst a layer of mist formed in his eyes. When Lin Xinyan straightened and looked at him, his eyes were free of moisture and had become dark once again.

His lips tugged upwards as he hugged her. “Sleep here with me.”

Lin Xinyan slid down but remained in his embrace. His strong arms tightly enveloped her slender body.

Torrential rain was still wreaking havoc outside the windows as if it would only rest after the whole city was submerged.

It was deep into the night, so Lin Xinyan gradually fell asleep in his arms.

Zong Jinghao, on the other hand, remained wide awake. He stared out the windows and into the infinite darkness.

After a whole night of rain, the air in the entire city was particularly fresh, and the birds could be heard happily chirping away.

When Zong Jinghao woke up, Lin Xinyan was still asleep. Perhaps it was because of her pregnancy, or because she slept too late last night, she was currently sleeping soundly and showed no signs of waking up any time soon.

He extended his hand to caress her face. When his fingers passed over her lips, they paused. His face clouded over, and the warmth in his eyes seemed to diminish. Lin Xinyan shifted slightly in her sleep and subconsciously rubbed her cheek against his warm palm, like how a kitten would. The warmth returned to Zong Jinghao’s eyes, and he leaned down to kiss her forehead.

The woman who was fast asleep did not stir at all.

He lifted the blanket and cautiously got out of bed. After washing up in the bathroom, he changed into a suit. Before leaving the house, he glanced at the woman on the bed who was still in dreamland. His eyes fell onto the phone beside her pillow when he recalled that she received a text message last night.

Who sent it?

He walked over to pick up the phone. Lin Xinyan’s phone did not have a password, so all he needed to do was swipe to unlock. He tapped to open her messages and saw that the latest one was from Bai Yinning.

His gaze darkened. For a moment, his thumb hovered over it before he tapped to see the content. I’m leaving. Goodbye.

It was not a flirty message, nor a confession. Hence, he was not angered by it. However, he was still frustrated about what happened last night.
