Stealing Your Heart Chapter 510
Just as Zong Yanchen was about to walk over there, Lin Xinyan called out to him from the kitchen, “Yanchen, can you do me a favor?”
“Sure.” He headed towards the kitchen and saw that she was pointing at the green onions in a basket. “Can you help me wash the green onions?”
Without any hesitation, he picked up the green onions and started to wash them.
After he was done with that, she sliced them into small bits and put them aside in a bowl. Dumpling broth was usually prepared directly in the bowl, so she put some soy sauce, lard, and sliced green onions into a bowl and added some hot soup directly to it. She then put the boiled dumplings inside and completed the dish.
“Wash your hands. It’s time to eat now.” Lin Xinyan instructed as she placed the dumplings on a tray so that it was easier to carry the bowls over.
Zong Yanchen took a whiff and smelt the fragrance from the dumplings, so he ditched the task at hand and sat down on the dining table after he washed his hands.
The lard added a rich fragrance to the dish while the dumpling skin was very smooth and thin. Lin Xinyan placed the bowls in front of her two children before giving another bowl to Shao Yun. “I’ll make something else if this isn’t enough for you.”
She never thought that he would come back so early because she thought that he would be there with Qin Ya. That was why she didn’t prepare a lot of food, so she was afraid that one bowl wouldn’t be enough for him.
Shao Yun waved his hands dismissively and smiled. “I’m good, thanks. I ate a little on the plane, so this is enough for me. I hope there’s still enough for you.”
He then asked the two children, “Do you have enough?”
Zong Yanxi licked her lips and smiled at Shao Yun as she said in a sweet voice, “Mr. Shao, can you bring us out for a walk after we finish the dumplings?”
She wanted to eat some ice cream, but Lin Xinyan didn’t buy her any because she was worried about her stomach.
Zong Yanchen immediately realized his sister’s intentions. “I want to go too.”
He wanted ice-cream as well, especially after eating a hot meal like dumplings.
Lin Xinyan frowned and asked, “What are you trying to do? Huh?”
“We just want to take a walk to digest our food.” Zong Yanxi pouted and said to Zong Yanchen, “Right, Yanchen?”
Unexpectedly, Zong Yanchen played along with her. “That’s right. Taking a walk after having a meal is good for digestion.”
Lin Xinyan wanted to say something, but Shao Yun interrupted her, “Just let them be. I’ll take care of them, so there’s no need to worry!”
She couldn’t reject them anymore since Shao Yun had agreed. After the meal, Lin Xinyan cleared the dishes while Shao Yun placed a USB drive on the table. “I asked someone to take a video of what happened. It’s a shame you didn’t go; it was very festive there.”
I came just to give her that. He sighed and said, “I really don’t understand why you didn’t show up since you have worked so hard on it for two months.”
She lowered her head and offered no explanation. Instead, she said, “Don’t bring them out for too long.”
Shao Yun agreed, “Alright.”
As Lin Xinyan went to the kitchen with the dirty dishes, the two kids already put on their shoes. At present, they were able to take care of themselves without any help.
The driver was startled as well because he never expected someone to appear on the road so suddenly.
Shao Yun gave the car another kick and dented it when the driver didn’t respond to him. “Get the f*ck out of there!”
The driver was so terrified he was trembling as he stepped out from the car.
Shao Yun always seemed amiable and relaxed, yet he could look scary when he was angered. After all, someone had struck his last nerve by almost hurting Zong Yanxi. The reason why Zong Yanxi was so important to him was that she was Lin Xinyan’s daughter, and Lin Xinyan was the daughter of a man he respected greatly.
What would I do if something happened to her?
Meanwhile, Zong Yanxi, who was in Zong Jinghao’s arms, was in a daze because of shock.
Zong Jinghao gently patted her back and cooed, “It’s fine. It’s fine. Daddy’s here. Don’t worry.”
Zong Yanxi regained her senses and recalled the terrifying incident that happened just now. She then wailed loudly and attracted Shao Yun’s attention.
Shao Yun gave the driver a fierce glare and hissed, “If this happened a few years ago, I would’ve beaten you to death. You’d better stay put and don’t even think about running away. There’s a security camera right there.”
Afterwards, Shao Yun hurried towards Zong Yanxi to check on her. She sobbed uncontrollably in Zong Jinghao’s arms and wailed, “Daddy, I’m scared.”
Zong Jinghao gently kissed her tear-stricken face and felt his heart ache for her. He consoled her softly, “Don’t be scared. Daddy’s here.”
Zong Yanxi cried even harder when she heard the word ‘Daddy’.
