Stealing Your Heart Chapter 1023


    “Guan Jing hasn’t really taken any break for a very long time. A vacation will definitely do him good.”


    Zong Jinghao seemed to have picked up something else. He asked inquiringly, “You don’t mind me


    being away from you for a longer period of time?”


    Lin Xinyan stacked up the clothes for Zong Jinghao to change into and closed the luggage.


    “You’ve really let go a lot.” Lin Xinyan raised her hands to touch the end of Zong Jinghao’s eye.


    “Without realizing, your wrinkles are already so deep.”


    Lin Xinyan was aware that she was the reason Zong Jinghao had let go of most work.


    “I think it will take me more than a few days to set up our new house. I’ll take the opportunity to take


    care of Jiawen more. After all, he left home at an early age.”


    From Lin Xinyan’s words, Zong Jinghao assumed that she wasn’t suspicious of him anymore.


    Zong Jinghao let out a breath in relief internally. “Alright then. Guan Jing deserved this too.” He ced


    his hand on Lin Xinyan’s. “Have we gotten old?”


    “Yes, but I still love you.” Lin Xinyan smiled. Her eyes were still twinkling although they were now age-


    battered.


    However, even though Lin Xinyan had a few lines around her eyes, she still looked youngpared to


    thedies of her age.


    There was a saying that humans who were indebted to each other in their previous lives would be


    lovers in this life.


    Lin Xinyan believed that Zong Jinghao and her were such a couple.


    Before, Lin Xinyan was more reserved in love. However, as time passed, she learned that love needs


    to be expressed.


    Zong Jinghao chuckled lightly. “We’re already so old. Are you still going to seduce me with your


    beauty?”


    Lin Xinyan’s brows arched. “Do I still have it in me?”


    Knock! Knock!


    Someone knocked on the door. Lin Xinyan said, “I’ll get the door.”

    Sang Yu was at the doorsteps. When she saw Lin Xinyan, a warm smile broke out on her face. “Did I


    interrupt anything?”


    “No, you didn’t. Come on in!” Lin Xinyan nted her body to let Sang Yu pass through.


    But Sang Yu didn’t enter the house. “It’s fine. I’m just here to tell you that Peichuan and I are leaving.”


    “So fast?” Lin Xinyan frowned. “Are you guys leaving now?”


    “Yeah. Peichuan has something to tend to.” Sang Yu sighed. She also didn’t want to leave so soon but


    her husband said it was work-rted. He had no choice but to leave.


    Lin Xinyan had a hunch that Shen Peichuan had to deal with the incident their families faced just a few


    days ago. Even though the perpetrator of the crime was dead, he still had administrative matters to


    tend to.


    Since he was ced in charge of that case, he had to be there to close the case.


    Both Lin Xinyan and Zong Jinghao sent them off.


    “Will you be staying longer?” Sang Yu queried Lin Xinyan as they stood in front of the car outside the


    building.


    “Yup. I will stick around longer.” Lin Xinyan could guess what Sang Yu was thinking about. “It’s okay. I


    will look after our children. There’s nothing to worry about.”


    “Alright. Oh, I forgot to tell you about it. I have asked Peichuan to retire earlier. Our days will finally be


    moreid back. Honestly, even though no one was hurt in the incident, I still fear that something might


    happen to him in his next mission or something.”


    Lin Xinyan nodded. Sang Yu had always been supportive of Shen Peichuan’s career. She had been an


    excellent housewife at taking care of the household as she didn’t want Shen Peichuan to worry about


    anything at home. But now, she figured it was time he retired. The two could spend the rest of their


    days in a carefree manner.


    “Yes, I totally understand you. Both of you should really n on how you are going to live your lives


    now.” Lin Xinyan patted her friend’s hand.


    “Mmhmm. I’ll get going now! See you!” Sang Yu and Shen Peichuan got onto the car. They rolled down


    one of the windows to bid their friends ast farewell. Lin Xinyan added, “Come over to visit us after


    you retire, Peichuan!”


    Sang Yu answered on her husband’s behalf, “Will do!”


    As the car sped off into the distance, the couple got back into their house. Su Zhan was at their


    doorsteps. “Peichuan is too busy! His daughter just got married and now he already has to leave?”


    “It’s not like you don’t know how his line of work is like.” Lin Xinyan nced at him.


    Su Zhan replied, “I know he’s busy, but he doesn’t have to work so hard. He can actually take things


    slower.”


    Once they got into the house, Lin Xinyan said, “I will stay here for some time.”


    Su Zhan was shocked. “You’re not going back to Thand?”


    Lin Xinyan nodded. “Jinghao has to run thepany for some time before we leave. I’ll stay here with


    him for the time being.”


    “Huh?” Su Zhan was even more astonished now. “But why?”


    “Let’s talk about it another time. It’s quitete. Let’s get to sleep.” Zong Jinghao cut Su Zhan off as he


    didn’t want thetter to question much. He was worried that Lin Xinyan might find out that he was lying.


    Su Zhan was speechless for being intervened so crudely.
