Stealing Your Heart

The kept the call alive but none of them utter a word. It was as if they were trying to express their pains through silence.

Lin Xinyan was the first to give in as she hung the call up without saying anything. She grabbed the phone tightly in front of her chest, trying to suppress herself from breaking down. However, she failed.

Her miserable sobs woke the two children up. The daughter rubbed her eyes and extended her hands to wipe the tears off Lin Xinyan’s face. “Mommy, why are you crying?”

The mother looked at her daughter and forced a smile. “I’m not crying. There’s sands in my eyes.”

The little girl blinked as she wondered where did the sand came from since they were in the car. Even if there were sands, the wasn’t any wind that would blow them into her mother’s eyes.

“I’ll blow them out for mommy.” Zong Yanxi leaned forward and blew into Lin Xinyan’s eyes.

As for the son, he was acting like an adult. Even though he could guess what her mother was going through, he didn’t try to comfort her. Instead, he looked out the window and sighed.

It was already late night when the three finally arrived at C City. After paying the driver, Lin Xinyan and her children checked in at a hotel. Lucky for them, room service was still available, so she quickly ordered some food for themselves. She wasn’t feeling hungry, but she still forced herself to eat since she had a baby growing inside of her.

Finished eating, she showered the kids before going to bed. Her children fell asleep in her arms right away as they were tired from the trip, but Lin Xinyan was completely awake.

Through the thin curtain, she could see the myriad twinkling lights from the outside. Just like how everyone else would feel when they first step foot in a new city, she too, was uncertain of how her future would be like. Missing him, she knew it would be a sleepless night for her.

In another city, a person was experiencing the same thing as Lin Xinyan. The master bedroom of a certain mansion was dimly lit by a single lamp. A man was standing in front of the window, staring out the window aimlessly as if he were the only person left in the world.

n a sudden, another source of light appeared inside the room. It was him checking on the phone. The screen was showing the message Lin Xinyan sent earlier and his eyes were glued to a single sentence. Even just minutes after I’ve decided to leave, you can’t stop appearing in my head. I love you, Jinghao, I love you so so much…

The light reflected the tears in his eyes as he sobbed, “I miss you too…”
