Stealing Your Heart Chapter 996
“I didn’t meet with him. It’s just that I have men watching and protecting Yanxi in the shadows. Hence, I
know that he went to Thand and isn’t in B City.”
Zong Jinghao hid the fact that Jiang Mohan was in C City from her.
“What is he doing in Thand?” Lin Xinyan sneered. “Is he not afraid of bumping into me?”
“So what if you see him? You stopped me when I wanted to send men to have him beaten.”
Lin Xinyan changed the topic. “Time to wash up and go to bed.”
Although she did hate Jiang Mohan, it was just that beating him up wouldn’t make her feel any better.
All she knew was that they had to stay away from him and never ever see him again.
As she wanted to get some water, Zong Jinghao stopped her by holding her by her waist. “Let me do
it.”
After giving it some thought, Lin Xinyanmented, “Do you think Yanxi has really gotten over it? After
all, she really liked Jiang Mohan. Do you still remember how she argued with us then?”
“She will get over it.” Zong Jinghao reassured her. “Going forward, something like that will never
happen again. Don’t worry.”
“Children will always be their parents’ burden. We will always worry for them no matter what. It’s just
not possible not to.” Just as she spoke, she seemed to have recalled something. Forgetting to wash up,
shey down on the bed.
Zong Jinghao who was on his way to get some water stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her.
Realizing that she had thought of something, he lowered his gaze and didn’t utter a word. He continued
to the bathroom to get some water.
Coming out with a basin full of water, he ced it by the bed. “Wash up before you sleep.”
Despite having heard him, Lin Xinyan feigned ignorance and pretended to sleep.
Zong Jinghao pulled the nket aside and lifted her legs.
Lin Xinyan tucked them in. “Don’t touch me.”
Zong Jinghao leaned closer and lifted her chin so that she could see him. “We’re no longer young.
Aren’t you worried about embarrassing ourselves in front of the children?”
“Am I old?” Lin Xinyan stared at him with her eyes widened.
Zong Jinghao smiled, “Not at all. To me, you’re always eighteen.”
Lin Xinyan was both angry and amused as she pushed him away. “Get up and stop deluding yourself.”
“You’re not old so naturally I’m still young.” Zong Jinghao stood up and ced her foot in the basin.
Meanwhile, on the second floor, Shen Xinyao was sitting in front of theputer hugging Dudu. When
she saw the dialogue that continuously popped up on the screen, sheughed heartily.
Dudu was her pet kitten. It wasn’t of any particr breed, but a stray which she found and adopted.
When Zhuang Jiawen entered the room, he saw herughing in front of theputer. Curious, he
asked, “What are you watching?”
“I’m watching others chatting.” Shen Xinyao turned around waved at him. “Come over.”
Zhuang Jiawen walked over.
“Look at this dialogue.” Shen Xinyao motioned for him to look at the screen.
Zhuang Jiawen leaned in and skimmed through it quickly. He frowned slightly. “Are you watching others
chat?”

Shen Xinyao exined, “Remember the app that ourpany justunched? It provides single men
and women a tform to interact. It’s currently at the beta testing stage. Our boss wants us to monitor
the topics that they talk about and write a report on it.”
“Therefore, aren’t you invading the privacy of others?” Zhuang Jiawen highlighted the seriousness of
the matter but not in an using way. He was well aware that it was part of her work and herpany
would not reveal the conversations. Nevertheless, the users who had their dialogue recorded were not
aware that they were being watched.
“The boss wants us to do it. As employees, we don’t have much of a choice.” She put Dudu on the
table and turned to hug him by the waist. She looked up and suggested coquettishly, “If you think my
job is bad, how about I quit and you take care of me?”
Zhuang Jiawen lifted her chin with his fingers, “If I take care of you, what will be my reward?”
Shen Xinyao’s shifted her eyes in thought before she replied, “I’ll cover you with a warm duvet in winter
and fan you in the summer. In autumn, I’ll provide you with an extrayer of clothes.”
“What about spring?” Zhuang Jiawen leaned closer as their eyes locked.
“Since spring is no longer as cold, I’ll remind you to wear less?”
Zhuang Jiawen was visibly dissatisfied with the answer. “It doesn’t suit the season.”
Shen Xinyao was speechless.
“Why don’t I apany you on a trip in spring?”
“Heine once said, ‘If seeds are not nted in spring, they will not grow in summer. There will be no
harvest in autumn; and nothing to eat in winter.’ So what do you think spring is for?”
“nting seeds…” Just as she spoke, Shen Xinyao got it. She lowered her chest. “You’re being
naughty.”
Zhuang Jiawenughed. “Is nting seeds considered naughty?”
The more heughed the more mischievous he got. “Aren’t you having naughty thoughts?”
“Zhuang Jiawen!” Shen Xinyao was both embarrassed and angry. “Leave my room at once. I still have
work to do.”
“But why are you blushing?” Zhuang Jiawen caught her hands that were pushing him and rubbed her
palms with his fingers. “You weren’t having naughty thoughts. It’s me that’s being naughty, so don’t be
angry. You don’t look pretty when you’re angry.”
He leaned forward to kiss her lips.
However, Shen Xinyao turned away. She was no longer angry, but still felt embarrassed.
Zhuang Jiawen hugged her as she sat back in front of theputer where the dialogue continued to
popte the screen.
After reading further, he didn’t find it humorous.
“This isn’t even funny at all. So what were youughing at?”
Shen Xinyao moved her mouse. “You’ll see in a while.”
As Zhuang Jiawen waited, he stabbed his fork on a piece of apple and put it into his mouth. As he
chewed, he watched the chat window that she had brought up.
Having heard the crunch of the apple, Shen Xinyao added, “I want some too.”
Her gaze was still fixed on the screen as she used her mouse to adjust the position of the chat
windows.
