Stealing Your Heart

Zong Yanxi was extremely nervous as she stood there, wondering how she was supposed to face the man. She did not have to wait long for the door to open.

The man standing before her was someone who had watched her grow up.

A year was not a long time but neither was it very short. A lot of things had happened during that time. Having seen the darker side of humanity, she had changed significantly. She was not the same innocent woman that she was back then.

Dressed in a suit, Guan Jing looked pretty much the same as she remembered him since young. The only difference was the wrinkles on his face, signs of the passage of time.

He moved aside slightly so she could enter. “Come in.”

Biting her lip, Zong Yanxi greeted him softly, “Uncle Guan.”

He grunted in reply.

She stepped inside his room, noting how the layout was exactly the same as hers.

“I…”

“Just ask what you want to know,” he directly stated. He sighed and continued in a gentler tone, “You little brat, you made all of us worry so much. As they say, wisdom comes with age. You refused to listen to us back then and look where that’s gotten you!”

She bowed her head, already expecting he would lecture her.

“Uncle Guan.” She lifted her head to smile at him. “Can we not talk about the past anymore?”

He sat down. “Finally realized what was going on, have you? Then let me handle this matter. You should go back-”

“Uncle Guan,” she cut him off. “How could I let you clean up the mess I made? I’m a grown adult now. I can settle my own problems.”

He watched her for several long seconds, his gaze causing a shiver to run down her spine.

“Uncle Guan?”

He stood up and walked toward a locked cabinet. Taking out a USB drive, he handed it to her.

She accepted it, asking, “What is it?”
