Stealing Your Heart Chapter 1043


    They were almost half a century old, yet Zong Jinghao had resorted to such a childish trick.


    “May I know how old are you? How could you tell them we had to wash the linen because I—” The


    frustrated woman couldn’t finish her sentence because she was utterly embarrassed.


    He took a sip of water and replied nonchntly, “I didn’t tell him anything. He was the one who had


    figured out everything on his own. I had merely gone along with him.”


    “Really?” His wife had her fair share of doubts.


    He put the ss of water he had with him aside and he replied, “If you don’t believe me, why don’t you


    confront him instead?”

    “You have deceived them because you don’t want me to meet Bai Yinning, right? Zong Jinghao, don’t


    you think you’re childish?”


    Why would I want to bring up the incidents from the past up in front of them? What has gotten into his


    mind? Why can’t he move on from the past?


    Bai Yinning was thest person on earth Zong Jinghao wished to be reminded of because of the


    former’s infatuation for Lin Xinyan. As he had never once moved on from her, he didn’t want her to be


    anywhere near him.


    “You should stay away from someone like him.”


    Lin Xinyan walked over and took a seat next to her husband on the couch. She asked, “What do you


    mean?”


    Zong Jinghao replied in a serious tone, “He’s not single, but he has turned down the love of someone


    who loves him wholeheartedly for his own sake. Do you think he’s a gentleman?”


    His wife fell silent because he was right; Bai Yinning had let Zhou Chunchun down.


    Although she wasn’t a match for an ordinary person in terms of intelligence, she was a kind-hearted


    woman. Bai Yinning shouldn’t have deprived her of her rights to be a mother.


    He shouldn’t be regarded as a man with immense affection man because that was merely an


    euphemism for his irresponsible actions.


    Zong Jinghao leaned over and asked, “Are you still mad at me?” ring at him, Lin Xinyan neglected


    his question and queried in return, “Have you had your meal?”


    “Mmm.” He had headed out and had his meal since there wasn’t anyone around to keep himpany


    for a meal.


    On the other hand, Lin Xinyan, who had been out since morning, started feeling hungry. Thus, she told


    him, “I’m hungry. You should refrain from doing something so childish in the future.”


    “Alright.”


    Lin Xinyan made her way to the kitchen and noticed Shen Xinyao almost had everything ready for their


    meal. “Mom, I’m cooking some noodles.”


    Zhuang Jiawen, who was standing by his wife, asked, “Mom, did you have a fight with Dad?”


    “Can you keep your mouth shut?” She paid no heed to her son and started helping her daughter-inw


    to serve the dishes.


    Nevertheless, he refused to give up just yet because he wanted to figure out if his parents had a fight


    because of Bai Yinning.


    “Mom—”


    “Can you get over with this—” Lin Xinyan turned around and caught a glimpse of Zong Yanchen before


    she could finish her sentence.


    Initially, she raised her voice because she thought Zhuang Jiawen was the one who was about to poke


    his nose into her business. The moment she spotted Zong Yanchen, her expression changed as she


    asked gently, “How’s the condition of your eyes?”


    Her eldest son nodded and asserted, “I’m fine, Mom. What about you? Why are you all worked up?”


    Zhuang Jiawen got ahead of his mother andined, “She’s mad at me, Yanchen. Did you see it?


    Mom is so biased! She has been raising her volume against me, but she’s concerned about your


    wellbeing!”


    His brother reprimanded him, “You should be grateful, Jiawen. Mom didn’t have any sorts of wedding


    arrangement for me when I was born, but you, my dear brother, have everything sorted out on your


    behalf the moment you were born.”


    He giggled in return because his brother was right. Indeed, he should be grateful because he had


    everything sorted out for hi, including his marriage.


    Halfway through their meal, Zong Yanchen said, “Mom, I think I’ll be away for a short while.”


    “Where are you going?” Shortly after she finished her sentence, Lin Xinyan realized her son might want


    to drop by the woman’s ce. Thus, she didn’t bother to stop him and said, “Since she has saved you,


    and we haven’t had the opportunity to express our gratitude properly, I think you should head over and


    search for her.”


    “I’ll be taking a short break from everything. Once I’m back with her, I’ll definitely spend some time with


    you.” Throughout the years, Zhuang Jiawen was the one in charge of taking care of the family; Zong


    Yanchen had been spending most of his time away from home.


    Thus, Zong Yanchen felt indebted to his brother because he had failed to carry out his task and bear


    the responsibility as the eldest child of the family.


    “Jiawen, care to join me for a drink?” He brought himself up and grabbed a bottle of wine.


    “Yanchen, are you sure you’re allowed to drink? Your eyes have just recovered, right?” Shen Xinyao


    raised her concerns.


    Lin Xinyan thought Shen Xinyao was right. Thus, she stopped him and urged, “Yanchen, I don’t think


    you should be drinking when your eyes have just recovered.”


    “It has been quite some time since Ist caught up with Jiawen. It’s such a rare opportunity for us


    brothers to gather around. Don’t worry. I’m perfectly fine.” After he ced the ss in front of his


    brother and him, he started pouring the bottle of wine he had retrieved.
