Stealing Your Heart

“When will the baby be back? I’m leaving tomorrow.” Wen Xiaoji asked.

He was here mainly for the little one, and to see Lin Xinyan at the same time.

The mother replied, “They have been out for a while, should be coming back soon. Since you are here, let’s join us for lunch.”

“Alright!” Wen Xiaoji agreed happily.

Lin Xinyan then asked Aunt Yu to prepare more food for the guests.

Worrying that Aunt Yu might be overwhelmed, she asked Wen Xiaoji to spend his time at the study.

“Don’t worry about me, go do whatever you need to.” Wen Xiaoji was very casual about it.

Lin Xinyan stood up, “Great, I’ll go and prepare lunch now.”

“I’ll come and help.” Chen Shihan was getting ready to stand up as well.

Qin Ya said, “Hey, you are pregnant. Stay here, I’ll go.”

“It’s just the first trimester, I’ll be fine.” The former stood up again only to have Lin Xinyan press her down by her shoulders. “We have enough help. If you are bored, watch some television shows.”

The latter felt a little embarrassed. “How could I stay here while you are so busy in the kitchen?”

Lin Xinyan smiled, “Family doesn’t talk stuff like that.” With that, she walked out of the living room with Qin Ya following behind. Upon entering the kitchen, she held her friend’s hand, “Are you alright?”

Qin Ya shook her head, “I’m fine.”

Lin Xinyan sighed. She was worried about her.
