Stealing Your Heart Chapter 523


    The trainee doctor was about to inquire more, but Lin Xinyan acted faster and stole his line. “But what?”


    she asked.


    Normally, this would mean that something was wrong.


    She was very afraid of bad news.


    Her face turned pale as she became anxious. At that point, she failed to notice that Zong Jinghao


    looked even more nervous than her.


    The doctor quicklyforted her, “Don’t worry too much. Even though the pregnancy should be stable


    after three months, but your body is naturally weak. You still have to be careful. Furthermore, you are


    very thin. Did you have a difficultbor in your previous pregnancy?”


    A doctor would never ask such questions under normal circumstances. Perhaps she knew that the


    trainee doctor who stood behind her was likely the baby’s father. Hence, she wanted to let him know


    that bearing a child was tough work and he should shower her with more affection and concern.


    “Mm…” Lin Xinyan nodded without borating further. Nheless, she would never forget the


    excruciating pain when giving birth. No matter how much time passed, the memory was forever etched


    in her mind.


    The doctor casually nced behind and then turned back to Lin Xinyan. With a gentle smile, she


    continued, “Your uterus lining is slightly thinner than average. As the fetus continues to grow, the


    amount of amniotic fluid will increase too. Your body will be strained, so you have to make sure that


    you get enough rest and stay in a good mood.”


    “I will,” Lin Xinyan replied.


    She knew her body well. Previously, the doctor told her that it would be difficult to get pregnant again.


    When this child came to her, she was utterly shocked, and it was truly by luck that she could keep the


    child. Furthermore, it was growing so well inside of her.


    After the checkup waspleted, she retrieved her medical report and returned to the outpatient clinic.


    The doctor took a brief look at the report, gave her some reminders, and told her toe back two


    weekster for the test results on Down’s syndrome.


    It would take some time before the test results could be produced.


    As Lin Xinyan stepped out of the clinic, she called Qin Ya and asked, “Where are you right now?”


    The trainee doctor stood inside the clinic. He could not follow her out but only observed her from afar.


    “I’m at the entrance.” Qin Ya had been waiting at the door since the trainee doctor would apany


    Lin Xinyan. She did not want to be a third wheel.


    However, he could not send Lin Xinyan home.


    Hence, Qin Ya waited for her at the entrance instead.


    As she walked out, Qin Ya opened the car door for her and probed, “How did the checkup go?”


    Lin Xinyan nodded. “It went well. Everything is fine.”


    “What do you feel like eating now then? Any cravings?”


    “Qin Ya.” Lin Xinyan did not get in the car and stared at her friend instead. “Something seems off with


    you today.”


    Based on Qin Ya’s personality, she would not leave her to a trainee doctor even if she detested


    hospitals. Something was definitely amiss.


    “Why are you getting suspicious now? Didn’t I exin myself already? Do you want me to start all over


    again and open up those wounds once more?” Qin Ya acted as though she was very sad. Her words


    struck Lin Xinyan’s vulnerable spots and instantly, thetter was lost for words. In fact, she started to


    feel guilty because she thought that it was her who caused Qin Ya to recall those painful events in her


    life.


    Qin Ya was pregnant too. She could have been a mother, but…


    “Ya, I’m sorry.” Lin Xinyan was extremely upset at herself for bringing this up again.


    “Alright, let me know what you want to eat. I will bring you there,” said Qin Ya nonchntly.


    Even though she had moved on from what happened with Su Zhan and no longer have feelings for


    him, she would never forget the baby she had with him.

    Lin Xinyan did not have breakfast before the checkup and it was already past ten. After getting into the


    car, she said to Qin Ya, “Let’s have crab casseroles.”


    It was Qin Ya’s favorite dish as it was rather spicy. The restaurant also offered seafood congee and


    fried buns. The buns were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They were simply delicious!


    Qin Ya patronized the restaurant several times before and knew the menu well. There were a few other


    dishes she enjoyed too.


    “Alright.” Happily, she started the car and drove towards their destination.


    She did not ask Lin Xinyan about her interaction with the trainee doctor, for fear that she would suspect


    something.


    However, unbeknownst to her, the trainee doctor walked out of the hospital shortly after they left. He


    had removed his whiteb coat and his equipment, revealing his true self.


    His hair was slightly messy from wearing a cap and a few strands of hair fell atop his forehead. He


    stood at the steps and watched as the car drove away before ncing at the time. It is close to noon


    now. He walked down the steps, got into a car, and drove towards Lin Xinyan’s neighborhood.


    With Qin Ya around, he would know Lin Xinyan’s whereabouts well. Their house would be empty by


    now and he coulde and go as he wanted. Furthermore, he could even spend some time with the


    kids.


    Since it was close to noon but still rather early for lunch, he decided to take a look at Lin Xinyan’s ce


    first. Previously, he could not discern the interior because he came at night and the ce was dark.


    Since Lin Xinyan would not be around, he could spend some time at her ce.


    The school would normally cater lunch for the children, just like in kindergarten. They would head to


    school in the morning and return in the evening.


    However, family members could always pick them up anytime.


    When Zong Jinghao arrived at the school, the kids’ teacher was extremely shocked by his presence. It


    had been two months since the kids attended school, but she had never met their father. She always


    thought that Lin Xinyan was divorced and a single mother.


    The teacher continued to observe this man dressed in a white shirt and tapered pants which


    entuated his slender legs. He stood tall and straight, and his rolled-up sleeves exposed his toned


    arms. On his right wrist was a simple business watch, but one could tell that it cost a bomb.


    An average man could notpare with his striking aura. His manliness and charisma were extremely


    attractive and eye-catching.


    A man with such aura would already be charming without good looks. However, this man in front of her


    had the perfect facial features.


    His jawline was sharp, his nose was tall and his eyes were deep-set. When he was silent, he looked


    cold and mysterious. Indeed, anyone would be captivated by him.


    Zong Jinghao frowned as he did not like it when others stared at him.


    “Daddy!” Zong Yanxi dashed towards her father from her seat. Her voice quickly jolted the female


    teacher back to reality as she shook her head in embarrassment.


    Zong Yanxi was ted as she did not expect her father to turn up here. She wrapped her hands around


    his legs in disbelief as she looked up to him, and asked, “Daddy, are you here to see me?”


    Zong Jinghao pinched her cheeks gently and nodded. He then shifted his gaze to the teacher and said,


    “I’m here to pick them up for lunch. I will send them back hereter.”


    The teacher responded with a smile. “Sure.” She asked to make sure, “Are you really their father? How


    come I’ve never seen you around before?”


    “Of course he is my father.” Zong Yanxi hugged her father’s legs as though she was afraid someone


    would snatch him away anytime.


    The teacher merely smiled and kept quiet. However, she would steal nces at him once in a while.


    Zong Yanchen walked over and looked at his teacher before turning to his sister. He pouted and said,


    “Daddy, please don’t flirt with others. Otherwise, I will tell Mom!”


    He walked out after saying that without giving his father an opportunity to exin himself.


    Needless to say, Zong Jinghao was speechless at his son’s behavior.


    Who was I flirting with?


    Don’t wrong me!


    After getting into the car, Zong Jinghao looked at the children from the rear-view mirror and asked,


    “What do you two want to eat?”


    “Crab casseroles!” Zong Yanxi eximed. She enjoyed the crabs from the same restaurant too,


    especially the spiciness.


    Chili was definitely an addiction.


    “Where at?” He would always satisfy his daughter’s needs. It was just that he was not familiar with the


    neighborhood and did not know where the restaurant was.


    “I know where it is! It’s opposite the cafe where you met usst time,” Zong Yanxi told him excitedly.


    Zong Jinghao shed a gentle smile at his daughter and drove in that direction.
