Stealing Your Heart

Lin Xinyan hadn’t thought it through when she spoke earlier. The more she panicked, the more she couldn’t get the words out. She didn’t know how she should explain to Su Zhan how she knew Gu Bei.

She had only heard about him from Zong Jinghao and had never met him in her life.

“Gu Bei went to C City to look for her previously,” Zong Jinghao suddenly said.

Su Zhan was dumbstruck at his words. “Why was he looking for Xinyan? Is it because…”

Su Zhan didn’t finish his sentence, wary of Lin Xinyan’s presence.

Gu Bei’s matter happened due to Wen Qing. If he talked about Gu Bei, he would have to talk about Wen Qing.

At that moment, they saw a rest stop up ahead, and Zong Jinghao told Su Zhan to make a stop there. The latter then pulled over and parked the car in the car park. Lin Xinyan quickly woke the kids to head out for a breath of fresh air.

Zong Yanxi rubbed her eyes groggily and told Lin Xinyan, “Mommy, I need to use the restroom.”

Her mother wiped her face with a wet tissue, and she was soon awake. “I’ll bring you there.”

There weren’t many people at the rest stop at night. Lin Xinyan held onto her daughter’s hand, and they made their way to the restroom. Back at the car, Zong Yanchen was only half-awake; he was still laying in the backseat. Zong Jinghao saw him and opened up the car door on his side, asking if he wanted to use the restroom.

The boy slowly opened his eyes and shook his head. “I’m feeling a little hungry.”

“Get down. I’ll bring you in to buy some food,” Zong Jinghao said.

The little boy got down from the car and grabbed hold of his father’s hand. He looked up and asked, “When are we arriving home?”

“Soon,” Zong Jinghao replied after taking a look at the time.

There weren’t any proper meals sold at this hour, only snacks. Zong Yanchen was craving some oden, so he grabbed some and said, “Let’s get some for Yanxi and Mommy. Daddy, are you hungry? We should get some for Uncle Su too. He must be tired from driving.”

Zong Jinghao patted his head, happy to know that his son was someone who would think of others.

They also bought some corn, rice dumplings, and some drinks.

There wasn’t much they could buy at the rest stop.

After Su Zhan came out from the restroom, he let the dog out to let it have a breather. Then, he began to do some stretches by the car. His body was feeling quite stiff after such a long time in the car.

Yanchen called out as he gave the snacks he bought to the former. “Eat these to curb your hunger. You haven’t eaten
