Stealing Your Heart Chapter 429
Lin Xinyan swallowed hard as she tried to suppress her lustful thoughts. Her face flushed slightly as
she fidgeted uneasily under his seductive fingers.
Zong Jinghao unbuttoned her cor and asked in a hoarse voice, “Will you change?”
Lin Xinyan turned around to look at him and stretched out her hands to caress his face before replying
weakly, “I will be very ugly.”
Her face had turned ashen during thest few months when she was pregnant with Lin Ruixi and Lin
Xichen.
“I won’t mind no matter how ugly you look.”
Zong Jinghao grabbed hold of her hands on his face and held them against the pillow before he
nted his lips onto hers.
No! We can’t continue. Otherwise, both of us will feel even more terribleter!
She tried to stop him in a hoarse voice, “The doctor says that we aren’t allowed to…”
Not only was he undeterred by her words, but he continued to pull her in, iming her lips again,
hungry and intense, while murmuring, “You have no idea how much I want you.”
Her desire to have him was getting stronger by the minute. Finally, she turned her head away
determinedly before she warned, “You stay away from me.”
We may end upmitting a mistake if we carry on hugging and touching each other…
On the other hand, Zong Jinghao was trying his best to suppress his urge too. He pulled down her skirt
andy t on the bed. A silence fell over them.
Time passed slowly.
Finally, Lin Xinyan spoke up after ten minutes.
“Have you ever med me for being too close to Cheng Yuxiu and caused so much trouble?” Although
she had heard from Cheng Yuxiu about the close rtionship between Wen Qing and Wen Xian
before, she did not expect that Wen Qing would go to this extent for Wen Xian.
“No. Initially, I don’t understand, but I know that you have your own ideas.” Zong Jinghao’s voice was
no longer hoarse and had resumed its usual calm tone.
Lin Xinyan turned around and buried her face in his chest. “Do you know that I like you? I want…” To
help you take care of those whom you can’t care for personally.
Zong Jinghao suppressed his joy as he asked, “Are you confessing your love to me?”
“I guess so.”
He turned around, put his hands on her face and looked at her lovingly.
Lin Xinyan batted her eyshes at him. “You haven’t settled the problem yet?”
He nted a kiss on her forehead before pulling her into his embrace. “I will settle the problem soon.
You just rest well and don’t think about other matters. Don’t take others’ words to heart. Those are only
my temporary ns. You must only trust me.”
Although she had no idea what he meant, she was convinced he was devising a n.
“I trust you.”
Zong Jinghao was amused. To lighten the atmosphere and to distract her from worrying, he teased,
“How can you trust me so much? Aren’t you worried that I will run away with another woman?”
Lin Xinyan pinched him on his waist. “I will break your legs if you dare to run away.”
It was rather painful so he winced in pain. “You shall support me if I’m maimed.”
“Mm, I will support you. I won’t let my kid grow up without a father.”
I will really support him even if he is paralyzed and can only lie on the bed. He’s the father of my kids.
Only with him around will we have aplete family.
Zong Jinghao wrapped his hands around her. “I won’t run away. I’m content with having you in my life.
We will sleep on the same bed when we are alive and in the same coffin when we are dead. I’m much
older than you, so I will definitely die first. Don’t forget to remind the kids to put us in the same coffin in
the future.”
Lin Xinyan red at him. “Don’t talk nonsense. I will find another handsome old man after you die…”
Zong Jinghao retorted confidently, “You won’t find an old man more handsome than me.”
“I’m fine even if he’s slightly uglier.” Lin Xinyanpromised.
“I will drag that man down to hell if he dares to ept you,” said Zong Jinghao in a vicious tone.
It seemed like the distraction worked. None of them brought up that matter again. That night, Aunt Yu
knocked on their door with their dinner in her hands. Zong Jinghao got up from the bed to answer the
door. Aunt Yu asked smilingly, “I bet you are hungry?”
I’m a little hungry indeed. Lin Xinyan sat up and asked eagerly, “What are we having for dinner today?”
These days, she had a voracious appetite. Having stayed in the ward for so long, she was cut off from
the outside world, and her daily activities consisted of eating and sleeping only.
Eyes twinkling, Aunt Yu ced her dinner on the table and said confidently, “I’m sure you will like it.”
She had prepared the meals ording to the doctor’s instructions. Since then, Lin Xinyan’s appetite
and her nausea had improved tremendously.
This time, her meal consisted of cabbage, pumpkin with egg, stir-fried vegetables, fish soup and tofu.
Each dish was ced on an exquisite te.
Aunt Yu turned around to look at Zong Jinghao, “I hear that pregnant women will give birth to beautiful
babies if they look at pretty stuff more often. Thus, I purposely buy these beautiful tes for her.” Even
the cutlery, with beautiful hand-painted flowers on them, matched with the new tes.
Putting his hands on his waist, which emphasized the deep creases on his shirt, Zong Jinghao looked
at Lin Xinyan, “Yes, we must take note of that. Otherwise, the baby will be darned ugly if we leave it to
her.”
Aunt Yu chuckled at his joke.
Lin Xinyan red at him. You are the ugly one!
Aunt Yu ces the dishes nicely before Lin Xinyan, “Wash your hands before eating.”
Zong Jinghao carried Lin Xinyan to the bathroom before cing her on the chair gingerly. He sat
opposite her and scooped some soup for her. “Drink the soup first.”
Drinking the soup before eating would help to work up an appetite.
Lin Xinyan tried the soup. Her meals were prepared without any seasoning and with the freshest
ingredients that one could find. Thus, the soup was delicious and vorful.
In the meantime, Aunt Yu helped to change her bedsheets. She insisted to change the bedsheets
every day because Lin Xinyan, in her current condition, could not turn on the air conditioner. Given the
hot weather nowadays, Lin Xinyan would inevitably sweat and dirty the bedsheets. Aunt Yu doted on
her too much to let her sleep on damp and dirty bedsheets.
She took the dirty bedsheets out and returned to collect the dirty tableware after Lin Xinyan and Zong
Jinghao were done with their dinner. “Shall I return home tonight ande back again tomorrow
morning?”
She surmised that Zong Jinghao would not require her help for the rest of the night.

“Mmm,” he agreed and went to take a bath in the bathroom.
Seeing that he went to bathe, Aunt Yu changed her mind. She put down the dirty tableware and
exined, “I will leave after cleaning the bathroom. We can’t let the bathroom floor stay wet and
slippery.”
There is no separate shower area in the bathroom. Although the bathroom was equipped with anti-slip
facilities, Aunt Yu was worried that Lin Xinyan might slip and fall on it identally.
Zong Jinghao understood what Aunt Yu was worried about. “I will handle that.”
Astounded, Aunt Yu looked at him. “When have you done such a chore before? And you won’t be able
to do it well anyway.”
Zong Jinghao was offended, feeling that Aunt Yu was looking down on him. What’s so difficult about
mopping the floor?
“Aunt Yu, why don’t you go back and rest first? Just let him do it.” Lin Xinyan was eager to see Zong
Jinghao mopped the floor for the first time in his life.
Thinking that the adorable pair before her was looking more like a married couple by the minute, Aunt
Yu smiled. “Then I will leave first.” After that, she took the dirty utensils and left.
Zong Jinghao swept a sideward nce at Lin Xinyan, guessing her thoughts. He remarked, “I have
many talents. You will discover them over time.”
Lin Xinyan merely smiled sweetly in return.
Zong Jinghao headed into the bathroom and only re-appeared with wet hair and in a bathrobe half an
hourter. Lin Xinyan was lying on the bed, looking at him impishly.
He walked towards her and pinched her cheeks. “Are you peeping at me when I was taking a bath?”
Lin Xinyan reminded him, “You need to mop the bathroom.”
How dare she and Aunt Yu look down on me? I’m the President of such a bigpany and manages
projects worth billions. Why do they think that I can’t perform a simple household chore well?
He threw the towel used for drying his hair on the table casually and headed into the bathroom.
Sweeping his gaze around the bathroom, he realized there were only a few towels in it. He could not
help but frown at this discovery. All the maids in my house orpany use mops to wipe the floor. Why
isn’t there a mop here? Must I use towels instead?
He picked a towel up before wiping the floor with it. But it was a futile effort as the floor remained wet.
Lin Xinyan could not help butughed at his plight, “The towel is wet, so no matter how much you wring
it dry, it can’t soak up the water on the floor.”
“…”
He stood up and gave up on drying the floor. Instead, hey the towels on the wet floor. The floor won’t
be slippery in this case.
“…”
This man is so spoilt.
He got into the bed and wrapped his arms around her. “Sleep. Stop making a joke out of me.”
Lin Xinyan snuggled in his arms. Indeed, everyone has their own strengths. It’s normal if he’s not good
at performing household chores. His forte is to earn money.
She slept very well that night. The next morning when she woke up, Zong Jinghao was already up and
was standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom, buttoning up his jacket.
Lin Xinyan squinted as she used her hands to shield her eyes from the bright sunlight.
It took a while for her to adjust to the light before she took down her hands gradually.
Zong Jinghao strode towards her. “You woke up already? Are you hungry? Aunt Yu should be arriving
soon.”
“Are you leaving now?”
“I’ll wait for Aunt Yu toe first.”
Only then I will feel assured enough to go to work.
Lin Xinyan shifted her body, signaling her intention to get up from the bed. Zong Jinghao carried her
instead. At this moment, they heard shuffling footsteps outside the door.
“You guys cannote in.”
The footsteps were getting louder. It sounded as if there were many people outside the door.
Suddenly, the door mmed open.
The bodyguards, who were guarding the door, bowed their heads in apology and reported, “We can’t
stop them.”
