Stealing Your Heart

Zong Yanxi followed Guan Jing’s line of sight and explained, “My friend was here.”

Guan Jing asked, “Male or female?”

Startled by his question, Zong Yanxi scratched her head but chose to answer truthfully, “Male.”

After that, Guan Jing ordered the two men to wait outside while he entered the room alone and continued probing, “Did he stay the night here?”

Zong Yanxi closed the door and told him the truth once again. “Yes.”

After hearing her answer, Guan Jing glanced at her with obvious surprise flashing across his eyes.

Zong Yanxi scratched her head helplessly when she realized that he was overthinking things.

“This friend of mine was the one who saved me back then. He was in a bad mood yesterday, so he came here for some drinks. In the end, he had one too many, and I felt uneasy letting him go home alone, so I let him crash here for the night.” Then, she pointed at the couch. There was a blanket strewn across it, looking like someone had slept on it.

Guan Jing, too, realized that he had been overthinking it. She was someone who had suffered emotionally. Hence, it wasn’t likely that she would act recklessly.

With that thought in mind, he sat down.

Zong Yanxi then queried, “Uncle Guan, have you eaten?”

Guan Jing nodded.
