Stealing Your Heart

“What happened?” Lin Xinyan asked her son, who was sulky and standing in front of the sofa.

Zong Yanchen pointed at his sister, who was wailing loudly. “She wanted to play cat and mouse with me but cried after she lost.”

“Yanchen is irritating!” Zong Yanxi wiped the tears off her face, ran to her parents’ side, and complained, “He is so irritating!”

Lin Xinyan looked at her daughter and was at a loss for words.

It seems like she is back to her normal self now. And here I am, so worried that she might have been in too much shock to not have spoken for such a long time.

“When are you going to kick the habit of complaining?”

Zong Jinghao caressed her head. “You should admit defeat.”

Meanwhile, Sang Yu was picking up the cushions which the kids had thrown onto the floor during their game just now, as well as the toys that were lying around the entire living room.

Zong Yanxi had imagined that her daddy would side with her and chide her brother. After realizing that her daddy was not planning to be on her side, she pouted and ran to Sang Yu to help her pick up the toys.

“You mustn’t spoil this kid, or she will keep crying whenever she doesn’t get her way,” Lin Xinyan told Zong Jinghao.

“Are you implying that I have spoilt her?”

“You know it best.”

With that, Lin Xinyan approached Sang Yu and said, “Just leave the toys there. Aunt Yu will keep them later.”

Sang Yu stood up and grabbed the flank of her shirt awkwardly. “It’s nothing. I’m not tired.”

Lin Xinyan smiled. “Are you not used to staying here?”

Sang Yu bowed her head. “I’m fine.”

But Lin Xinyan could tell from her nervous state that she was not used to staying with them. Well, it is understandable. After all, we are practically strangers to her.

“Sorry, the two kids are very noisy.” Lin Xinyan tried to start a friendly conversation with her to ease her nerves.

Sang Yu smiled. “They are very adorable and smart.”

Lin Xinyan sat down on the sofa and gestured for Sang Yu to join her.
