Stealing Your Heart

All he saw was the faint light that filtered through the white curtains. Pursing his lips tightly, he wondered whether he was seeing things just now.

He supposed Lin Xinyan was still in a state of shock due to Su Zhan’s sudden appearance.

Meanwhile, Lin Xinyan was leaning against the wall next to the window, trembling as she placed both hands on her chest. A strange sense of heaviness in her heart made it tough for her to breathe.

Even though she gasped for fresh air to prevent suffocation, she could not stop the complicated emotions from overwhelming her.

The moment she saw him, she was filled with both delight and apprehension.

With her eyes closed, she took a long time to regain her composure.

She guessed he decided not to visit her himself because he was still dealing with Wen Qing’s matter.

After some time, she opened her eyes, wanting to lift the curtain to take one more peek at him. For some reason, her hand suddenly froze.

It stopped in midair right before the curtain.

She had no idea what was holding her back. Was she afraid that the feelings she used to have for him would come flooding back once she laid her eyes on him again?

Slowly, she put her hand down.

Taking a deep breath, she pulled herself together and walked back to the wardrobe to pack some clothing for the kids.

They didn’t have any suitcases because she had never brought the kids on a trip since they moved to C City. As a result, she had to stuff all their clothes into a duffel bag. Fortunately, it was summer and their clothes did not occupy much space.

When the packing was done, she walked out of her room and saw Su Zhan chatting with the kids.

He stood up when he saw her.

She then passed the duffel bag to him.

“I’ll bring them back a few days later,” reassured Su Zhan. Zong Jinghao needed him to take the kids immediately so that he could set off to visit his father in Baicheng right away.

He had specially instructed Su Zhan to tell her for how long the kids would be away.

It was because he knew she needed the kids’ company more than he. Her insistence on giving birth to the kids even though she had no idea who had fathered them showed how much she loved them. On top of that, she had never been separated from them ever since they were born.
