Stealing Your Heart

Should I ask Uncle Guan if he ever had a girlfriend before he got married? Would it be too rude? But how can I help Gu Xian to identify him if I don’t ask him? He seems to be having a hard time.

“Um, Uncle Guan, how’s your love life in your younger days?”

Guan Jing held his tongue and stared at her for a long time.This kid is up to something, eh? Why would she ask about my younger days all of a sudden?

“Yanxi, why are you suddenly so interested in that?”

“Well…” She cleared her throat. “You know… I’m having trouble with my love life, so I’m curious if you’ve been through any pain in relationships when you were younger.”

“I was never serious in relationships until I got married,” Guan Jing said unthinkingly.Never serious? If Gu Xian is his son, does that mean he was never serious with Gu Xian’s mother? Poor Gu Xian.

“Was there anyone who left a deep impression on you?” Zong Yanxi asked gingerly, eager to know.

As soon as she asked that, Guan Jing stared at her wide-eyed. “Yanxi, why do I feel that you’re prying into my past?”

“Hehe. I’ve explained myself, haven’t I? I just want to know if you had a hard time in the past. Who knows if I’ll feel better after listening to your story.”

“You brat.” Guan Jing stood up. “It’s inevitable to fool around when you were younger. I was never serious, so there really wasn’t any romantic entanglement. Besides, I’m smart. How could I have suffered from emotional losses?”Poor Gu Xian… His father doesn’t even know he has a son, and he was only fooling around with his mother. What tragic fate is this?

But at the same time, Zong Yanxi felt comforted when she compared herself to Gu Xian.

Life had been a bed of roses to her, other than the fact that she fell in love with Jiang Mohan.

“I’ll get someone to send this to Jiang Mohan.” Guan Jing retrieved the USB drive from the laptop.

Zong Yanxi made no comments, thinking that it was a good idea.

There were some things that he had to know.

“Uncle Guan, I’d like to deal with Jiang Mohan myself,” Zong Yanxi said.

“Yanxi…”
