Stealing Your Heart

Qin Ya, who was leaning against the wall, marched into Lin Xinyan’s room immediately and detected the mess on her bed. She turned around in guilt, avoiding Lin Xinyan’s gaze because she once told Zong Jinghao the password of their place.

He must have dropped by when we were out for work, but what the hell is wrong with him? Did he drop by because he wanted to sleep on Xinyan’s bed? Fine! Even if that’s the case, he should at least make the bed prior to his departure, right?

Look at the mess you have caused me, Zong Jinghao! How am I supposed to cover this up on your behalf?

“Are you sure? Maybe you have forgotten to make your bed in the morning?” Qin Ya ruled out the possibility and asked, “A pregnant woman tends to forget things easily, right? I’m pretty sure that’s the case. I’ll bring the kids out with me right now. See ya.”

Qin Ya turned around and was about to depart immediately after she finished her sentence, but Lin Xinyan rebuked, “That’s impossible because I’m pretty sure I have made my bed in the morning. It has always been a habit of mine to make the bed. I don’t like to leave my bed messy.”

“Since the kids are away for school in the morning, while I have been by your side throughout the day, Shao Yun’s the only one who has access to the place apart from us. It couldn’t have been him, right? I’m pretty sure you’re the one who has forgotten to make your bed in the morning.” Qin Ya assured righteously as though that was the case.

Lin Xinyan, who was by the bed, started doubting herself and thought she might have misperceived things.

Qin Ya is right because we’re the only ones who have access. Although Shao Yun seems like a playful man, he’s a detail-oriented gentleman. He would never barge into our place without notifying us in advance. Most importantly, he wouldn’t have slept on my bed.

“It’s not a big deal, isn’t it? What do you crave for dinner? It’s time for you to take a break. I’ll buy you something on our way back.”

“I want some radish.”

Lin Xinyan wasn’t sure what had gone into her head, but she had a strong craving for radish all of a sudden. When she first conceived, she didn’t have any particular craving, yet out of the blue, she craved for radish now.

“I want fresh preserved radish,” Lin Xinyan remarked.

Qin Ya was rendered speechless and caressed her head in return because she thought her friend must have lost her mind.

“Are you sure you’re going to have just preserved radish for dinner?”

“That’s the only thing I want for now, but I wonder if you can get it at such an odd season.” Lin Xinyan sat on her bed and turned the possibility of her not making her bed in the morning repetitively.

“Why not? I mean, do you really think seasonal vegetables are still a thing nowadays?” Qin Ya asked rhetorically, suggesting otherwise.
