Stealing Your Heart

Zong Jinghao sat down beside her. He took her hand and placed it gently inside his palm. “I found out who had been sending those messages.”

“Is it the same person who sent me those things the last time?” Though she asked, she was certain that it must have been someone close to the Gu family——someone who was determined to get back at them for landing Gu Bei in prison.

Zong Jinghao nodded.

He remained restless from his conversation with the doctor. Reaching out and feeling her belly, he gently cooed, “Yan…”

“Huh?” Lin Xinyan looked at Zong Jinghao’s clean and defined features. His face was so close that she could even make out the fine hair on it.

Zong Jinghao leaned in to give her a peck on the cheeks. He was relaxed. “It’s nothing. I just wanted to call you that. I’ll have to go out for a while later. I’m not sure when I’ll be back, so don’t wait up.”

Lin Xinyan did not probe. She simply nodded.

Zong Jinghao chose to let her rest in the room as it was too noisy downstairs. Lin Xinyan smiled and urged him along. “Go on. Surely you aren’t thinking that I couldn’t take care of myself?”
