Stealing Your Heart Chapter 544

Lin Xinyan felt puzzled upon seeing how serious he looked.

“What’s gotten into you? Have you forgotten that they’ve changed their names?” she asked.

Zong Jinghao shook his head as he explained, “I’m just so used to calling them their old names that I don’t feel like changing them.” While speaking, his vision lingered on her belly. “We’ll let this baby carry your surname regardless of his or her gender.”

Gazing at her, he said in a gentle voice, “As you’re the only child of your father, we should let one of our children be the descendant of your family.”

He was serious about that decision. Since Lin Xinyan had always been so considerate of him, he thought that it was about time he started doing the same time to her too.

It went without saying that she was touched by his gesture. Glaring at him, she chided, “Why are you telling me something so emotional? Are you trying to make me cry?”

He laughed out loud and wrapped his arms around her. Planting a kiss on her forehead, he muttered, “It pains me to see you cry.”

Tsk, tsk. ”What wrong have I done to deserve this scene of public display of affection? Can you guys give me a break?”

Su Zhan, who was leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed in front of his chest, watched the two of them with amusement.

The affection in Zong Jinghao’s eyes disappeared as coldness took its place immediately following Su Zhan’s appearance.

Slowly, he looked up at Su Zhan and spoke in a level voice, “You’re just jealous.”

Then, he ignored him and walked into the house with Li Xinyan.

Su Zhan was left speechless.

Am I jealous of them?

Indeed, I am.

Is my life not miserable and lonely enough? Why did he have to remind me of that fact?

Is it because I look like a pushover?

He began cursing Zong Jinghao for his cold-heartedness and how he had been neglecting him ever since he reunited with Lin Xinyan. At the moment, he felt like a pitiful and lonely soul who was abandoned by everyone else in his life.

Qin Ya refused to forgive him, and now, even his buddy distanced him for the sake of his own wife.

“What a heartless man!” he muttered under his breath. However, it was loud enough to be heard by Zong Jinghao, who spun around and confronted him, “What did you say?”

Su Zhan was left stumped immediately. He turned into a scaredy-cat in an instant, and he racked his brain, trying to churn out an excuse. “Uhm… Your two kids demanded to have some ice cream just now, so I’m going out to buy some for them. Do you guys need something from the store?”

“Is there anything you crave for?” Zong Jinghao asked Lin Xinyan.”

“I want some cakes with cream.”

As she had never eaten since morning, she had a sudden craving for fresh cream.

“What flavor would you like it to be?” Zong Jinghao asked again.

Lin Xinyan thought for a while before answering, “I’d like to have a mango cake.”

“I’ve got it. I’ll get some fruits too,” Su Zhan responded.

Zong Jinghao mumbled back a response. He reckoned they could only return to the city tomorrow. As the area they were staying in was quite remote, it was not convenient to get the stuff they wanted because the shops were not within walking distance.

The best thing about that place was how quiet and secluded it was.

He supposed she was the reason why Zong Jinghao had come back after leaving the city.

He had heard about Lin Xinyan’s departure to C City from Zong Qifeng, and he reckoned she was here in Baicheng to attend Bai Yinning’s wedding ceremony.

Lin Xinyan nodded back at him.

Meanwhile, it was another game that ended in defeat for Zong Yanchen. Feeling indignant, he demanded, “Let’s play another one.”

Zong Qifeng caressed the little boy’s head and said, “It’s good to have such fighting spirit, but I think we should take a break and continue the game later tonight.”

He rose to his feet and looked to where his son and Lin Xinyan were standing. As for Zong Yanchen, he looked listless and dispirited because he had yet to win a game with his grandfather. It was the first time he was experiencing the frustration of being the loser.

Zong Qifeng had not gone easy on him on purpose. As the bright kid had never been defeated before, he thought that it was not a good thing for his development.

As the saying went, no pain no gain.

He harbored high expectations of his grandson, even higher than what he used to have of his son back then.

Hence, he was determined to train and nurture the little boy to become a tough and resilient person. The kid was slightly arrogant now because he was wise beyond his years.

Some setbacks and challenges would help his growth.

When Zong Qitian saw Lin Xinyan, he suddenly understood why his son had come back.

“Please come with me,” he said to Lin Xinyan.

She agreed and left the living room together with him. She had expected that he would want to talk.
