Stealing Your Heart

Chapter 105

Right after was another message from Guan Jing. He lowered his head and looked at the message.

KS Private Club does not have video surveillance to protect their customer’s privacy. The corridor has, however, and this was the footage where Ms. Lin appears.

He Ruilin was here last night.

Although Guan Jing’s words were not straightforward, Zong Jinghao knew what he wanted to say. He Ruilin was involved with Lin Xinyan’s incident.

To be specific, she was the one who planned Lin Xinyan’s incident.

Lin Xinyan knew that she was devious, she should have been wary of her. Lin Xinyan should not have fallen into her trap.

With a curious mind, he clicked on the video.

The download was completed.

The video played.

Lin Xinyan was running unsteadily with a disheveled look of panic. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

“Yan—”

Soon, he saw who was chasing after her.

He Ruize!

His expression changed, and his gaze turned cold. His voice was deep and loud as he said, “Fantastic!”

The siblings were fantastic!

They were cooperating with each other to hurt her.

Lin Xichen jumped in fright, thinking that he was saying about him.

He was clearly afraid but he put on a brave face and kept his chin up. When he spoke, his incoherent words betrayed his feelings. “D—D—Don’t think I’ll be scared of you!”

Zong Jinghao looked up and stared at him. “Boy, your mommy was bullied by other. Do you want to take revenge?

Lin Xichen blinked. Was someone bullying his mommy?

Who else would bully her other than him?

“Do you think I’m three? I’m not going to fall for your tricks.” Lin Xichen still had an arrogant look on his face with his head tilted up.

That was right. He was not three, he was five. He was older than three-year-old by two years. It was not easy to trick him.

“Come over.” Zong Jinghao beckoned him to come over.

Lin Xichen remained standing at his spot and looked at him warily.

Zong Jinghao was speechless.

He narrowed his eyes. How did Lin Xinyan teach this boy? He was still so young but he was already overthinking.

“I’m not lying to you.” He played the video and showed it to Lin Xichen. “Look at it yourself.”

Lin Xinyan was at the start of the video, so Lin Xichen had seen her instantly. He widened his eyes.

Mommy…

Halfway through the video, he clenched his fists. Who was bullying his mommy?

Soon, he saw who it was.

His eyes widened further.

Until it almost looked like his eyeballs were going to pop out.

He had picked up the call he made to mommy last night, so that meant that he did see mommy last night.

He had said that mommy was at the bathroom, so she could not take the call.

What did he do to mommy?

Zong Jinghao took back his phone and Lin Xichen leaned forward to snatch it. Zong Jinghao raised his hand high, and he could not reach it even when he tiptoed.

He looked downwards at the boy. “What about now? Do you want to take revenge for your mommy with me?”

Lin Xichen’s face was red from anger and he glared at Zong Jinghao.

“Think about it. You’re just a kid. Even if you want to take revenge, you don’t have the capability.” Zong Jinghao kept his phone back into his pocket and came down. As if he had remembered something, he turned to look at the boy. “Right. Last night your mommy was indeed with me and we slept on the same bed. She told me she’ll be having breakfast with me later.”

Lin Xichen was about to explode.

His tears were going to stream down from his eyes.

Did mommy lose her mind?

Did she not know that she should not turn back for him?

“I saved your mommy last night.” Zong Jinghao did not continue to frighten him.

After hearing his words, Lin Xichen felt more relieved.

So it was not that mommy had lost her mind.

“What— What you said earlier. Are you really going to take revenge for my mommy?” He looked at Zong Jinghao with wide eyes.

Zong Jinghao looked at him for a second. “Yes, but…”

He crouched down to look at Lin Xichen on the same level.

And for once, Lin Xichen was quietly watching him without any rejections.

His small hands twitched as his heart thumped. This was his dad.

If only he never abandoned them.

They could live as a family.

The others would not say that he and his sister were fatherless children.

“You need to help me get together with your mommy.”

For a moment, Lin Xichen did not say anything.

Why did you divorce and abandon her if you liked her? He thought mockingly.

She had suffered so much. She gave birth to him and his sister and raised them as the others judged her.

Lin Xichen pursed his lips tightly. “Do— Do you still like my mommy?”

They must have been in love back then, that was why they had married. Later, he must have fallen in love with someone else, or he must have fallen out of love with mommy. That was why they divorced.

Now he was going after mommy. Does that mean he had fallen in love with her again?

Zong Jinghao slightly raised his eyebrow. What had he meant by “still”?

However, he gave it no further thought and dismissed it as the boy’s lack of capability to express himself.

“I do…”

“Xichen.”

Lin Xinyan ran over. She had not seen him upstairs, and Zhuang Zijin had told her that her son had been waiting for her downstairs.

She had confiscated his smartwatch.

She could not contact him and she was afraid he was lost. When she ran around the park and could not find him, she was about to call the police in a panic, then she realized that he was at the entrance of the district.

“Where did you go? I was so worried for you when I couldn’t find you.” Lin Xinyan knew that her son was hostile towards Zong Jinghao, so she pulled him behind her. “About that. He’s just a kid, so don’t take his words to heart.”

“Of course.” Zong Jinghao leaned at the side of the car and pointed to Lin Xichen with his chin. “I won’t be calculative with children.”

Lin Xichen had just started getting a good impression of him before it all went away with his last sentence.

Lin Xichen held onto Lin Xinyan’s neck and kissed her cheeks. “Mommy, I want to sleep with you tonight. I want to sleep in your arms, is it okay?”

Zong Jinghao stared.

This kid.

Lin Xinyan looked at her son with surprise. Why was he acting weird today?

He had been angry with her because she had confiscated his things.

He was alright with her now?

That was weird.

“Mommy, are you going out to eat? Can I come with you?” He hugged Lin Xinyan and tilted his head sideways. “Can I?”

Lin Xinyan looked at Zong Jinghao with a questioning gaze.

Zong Jinghao nodded. “Let’s go.”

This time, Zong Jinghao was the one driving while Lin Xinyan and Lin Xichen sat at the back.

As if showing off that Lin Xinyan was his, Lin Xichen was particularly clingy to her. He hugged her, held her, and kissed her.

He even looked at Zong Jinghao provocatively through the rearview mirror, as if saying Mommy was his, and no one could take her away from him.

Only he could hug her and sleep with her.

Lin Xinyan was shocked by her son’s sudden enthusiasm.

“Xichen.” She reached out to touch his forehead.

He was not having a fever.

What was going on with him?

“I’ll return you your smartwatch, okay?” Lin Xinyan was not used to her son’s sudden enthusiasm.

It was inconvenient to not be able to contact him.

However, she was not going to return him his tablet yet.

He had not admitted to his mistake.

“Really?” Lin Xichen’s eyes were bright. “What about my tablet?”

He was bored without his tablet.

He could not play any games.

“I can give to you, but you know—”

“I was wrong.”

Before Lin Xinyan could finish her sentence, he had admitted to his mistake.

He had already decided to take revenge for mommy with that heartless man. Obviously, he would not embarrass him further.

He was going to pause his revenge on him for a while.

Lin Xichen had really surprised Lin Xinyan a lot today. He had never done this before.

He was a good boy, but he was stubborn. He would not give up on things he had decided on, and it was difficult for others to advise him.

“Here.” Lin Xinyan said as she looked at the restaurant banner.

Zong Jinghao looked into the store. It seemed like it was crowded.

He parked the car.

Lin Xinyan carried Lin Xichen down the car.

And they walked into the store together.

The shop was crowded at this time, and people turned to look at them when they entered.

The sight of the three of them looked like a family.

The husband was tall and handsome. The boy took after his father and looked like handsome too. The mother was young and pretty.

It was a perfect sight.

Zong Jinghao rarely ate his breakfast outside. He was not used to these kind of places.

“Sit down first. I’ll go take a look on what to eat.” Lin Xinyan put her son down and asked, “Is there anything you want to eat?”

“I want pumpkin porridge and dumplings.”

“What about you?” Lin Xinyan turned her gaze to Zong Jinghao.

“Anything.” He had never been here. He did not know what was available here.

And there were so many people.

“There’s a table there.” Someone had stood up, and Lin Xichen pulled Zong Jinghao towards the place.

The table had not been cleared, and Zong Jinghao frowned at the sight of it.

Lin Xichen could see that Zong Jinghao did not like the place. The corner of his lips turned downwards. “Mommy and I always come to these kinds of places to eat.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes.”

“I’ve promised to cooperate with you to take revenge for mommy.” Lin Xichen looked at the figure walking in the crowd and taking food for him. He clenched his fists. “Mommy had suffered a lot. I have to protect her.
