Stealing Your Heart Chapter 542


    He was standing right behind her. His handsome face was expressionless as he stared at Bai Yinning


    with a cold gaze.


    The moment Lin Xinyan saw him, she was stunned as she did not expect him to show up here.


    For a brief moment, she stood frozen on the spot.


    She had envisioned meeting him in B City or C City. Never in her wildest dreams would she expect


    them to meet in Baicheng—and even at Bai Yinning’s wedding. Why did he show up here?


    If he’s here, where are the kids?


    “Mr. Zong, did you rush over to attend my wedding?” asked Bai Yinning with a smirk.


    Zong Jinghao strode over solemnly. Briefly shooting a cold re at Bai Yinning, he snapped, “Have we


    ever befriended each other, Mr. Bai?”


    When Bai Yinning saw how furious Zong Jinghao was, his mood improved considerably. An annoying


    smirk yed on his lips. “We’re not friends, but I am acquainted with your wife. Don’t couples share


    everything? Or are you saying that you and Yan don’t share secrets?”


    Every time Zong Jinghao heard Bai Yinning intimately call Lin Xinyan by her nickname, he had an urge


    to strangle the man to death.


    “Don’t be riled up, Mr. Zong. To prevent you from feeling jealous, I even married someone. You should


    thank me instead.” Smiling, Bai Yinning continued, “I wish to be on good terms with you, Mr. Zong.


    However, it seems like you have a grudge against me as if I’m the biggest viin in the world.”


    “You overestimate yourself. You’re not a viin—you’re a despicable and shameless man.” Standing


    beside Lin Xinyan, Zong Jinghao held her hand and mocked calmly, “Compared to evil viins, people


    who hide their true shameless nature under a genteel facade are more irritating.”


    With that, he dragged Lin Xinyan away and left.


    As Bai Yinning watched them weave through the crowd, a faint smile yed on his lips.


    “Yinning, what are youughing at?” Zhou Chunchun thought they were arguing. However, she was


    confused over the reason why.


    “I’mughing at that immature man. When he’s angry, I feel very happy.” At the very least, he had


    managed to get his revenge by getting on that man’s nerves. Turning around to look at Zhou


    Chunchun, he asked, “Did you think the woman earlier is pretty?”


    Zhou Chunchun nodded. “Yeah. Is there a baby in her stomach?”


    “Yeah.” Bai Yinning’s smile faded, leaving behind a bitter, mncholy expression on his face.


    “Are they a couple?” asked Zhou Chunchun.

    Bai Yinning nodded.


    “Then, are we a couple?” asked Zhou Chunchun again.


    Patiently, Bai Yinning replied, “Yeah. Let’s go.”


    He did not want to dwell on that topic.


    Grabbing the handles of his wheelchair, Zhou Chunchun offered, “I’ll push you. Let’s go to my father.”


    Bai Yinning replied, “Okay, I’ll follow what you do.”


    Zhou Chunchun shed him a smile that was as innocent and naive as a child’s.


    As Bai Yinning gazed at her smile, a grin spread across his cheeks.


    Outside the hotel, Zong Jinghao continued dragging Lin Xinyan forward as if he wanted her to be as far


    away from Bai Yinning as possible. Forgetting that she was pregnant, he strode briskly without


    stopping at all. Lin Xinyan, having returned to her senses, yelled, “Slow down!”


    Only then did Zong Jinghao stop in his tracks and turn around to look at her.


    When his eyes met hers, he surprisingly found himself at a loss for words.


    After a long while, he broke the silence.


    “Hug me. I’m afraid that I won’t be able to control my temper.”


    When he remembered how Bai Yinning had touched her stomach, fury surged through him. He wished


    to ask her why she did not push Bai Yinning away and reject him. After all, as the baby was not Bai


    Yinning’s, he had no right to touch her stomach.


    However, Lin Xinyan got even angrier when he mentioned it.


    When he was not around, all she could do was sulk silently. Now that he was in front of her, it made her


    feel even angrier as if mes of fury were raging within her body.


    “Are you more upset than I am? If I slept with another man and you saw those pictures, how would you


    feel?”


    Zong Jinghao was rendered speechless.


    “Those are fake. I don’t even recognize the women there!” He exined urgently.


    “Really? Then, tell me what happened! Also, why are you here? Where’s Yanxi and Yanchen?” Lin


    Xinyan shot the questions at him.


    For the past two days, she was extremely concerned about them, afraid that something bad would


    happen to them. Hence, she was constantly in a gloomy mood, with worry always clouding her mind.


    “Someone sabotaged me. It’s a long story. I’ll exin it to you when we go back. Yanxi and Yancheng


    are at the old manor. Yan…”


    Zong Jinghao’s voice became softer when he called her nickname, his agitation slowly diminishing. He


    stared at her with a gaze so passionate that it would even trump the heat of the scorching sun.


    Lin Xinyan felt like the air around them had stopped moving. Almost forgetting how to breathe, she


    stood there motionlessly. All the thoughts disappeared from her mind, leaving nothing but a nk te


    behind.


    Reaching his arms out, he hugged her and whispered hoarsely, “I missed you so much.”


    Initially frozen to the spot, Lin Xinyan finally returned to her senses. She felt like she could breathe


    again, yet nothing could describe theplex emotions that were coursing through her right now.


    She raised her arms mechanically, wrapping them around his waist. Burrowing her face into his chest,


    she tried to hold her tears back to no avail.


    She was not heartbroken, upset, nor overwhelmed with emotions at their reunion. For some reason,


    tears just gushed out of her eyes without any warning. The tears came so abruptly that she could not


    hide them in time.


    “I’m sorry. I wanted to let the kids stay by your side. I know you need them more than I do.” He had


    never med or chastised her for that. As their mother, she needed them by her side more than he did.


    The previous days had been torturous. Yet, as he hugged her now, it seemed like those days of


    suffering were no longer so horrendous.


    No one mentioned what had happened in the past.


    They simply hugged each other in silence. The embrace was so passionate that even the scorching


    sun paled inparison.


    It was only until Lin Xinyan’s phone rang that their long hug ended. She whipped out the phone and


    saw the words “Uncle Er” disyed on the screen. It was Shao Yun.


    She epted the call. Zong Jinghao held her hand as they stood under the Chinese parasol tree. The


    dense leaves shielded them from the unrelenting sun.


    He wiped the sweat away from her forehead and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ears.


    Lifting her head up, she gazed at him.


    Shao Yun’s voice sounded from the phone. “I’ve already investigated what you told me. He’s not at B


    City. It looks like nothing had happened. However, I heard something else.”
