Stealing Your Heart

Zong Yanxi let out a sigh. “You have a lot on your plate, and yet you still show concern for me.”

Suddenly, she looked up at him. “You don’t have a crush on me, do you?”

Zong Yanxi teased him on purpose in an attempt to release her pent-up feelings.

Gu Xian evaded eye contact with her as he replied with a smile, “I like young girls, not older women.”

Zong Yanxi was rendered speechless.

“I don’t look old, do I?”

“But you don’t look young, either.”

Pretending to be angry, Zong Yanxi retorted, “Don’t walk next to me from now on, just in case others mistake me for your aunt.”

Gu Xian chortled. “Are you angry?”

“Will you be happy if I say that you look like an old man?” Zong Yanxi asked rhetorically.

“I really want to be an old man, but do you think I can hide my youth and beauty?”

Gu Xian had once again left her speechless.

“What a narcissist,” Zong Yanxi couldn’t help but roast him.

Grinning, Gu Xian turned her head to face him. “Tell me honestly, am I handsome?”

Zong Yanxi slapped his hand away. “If you want to speak, go ahead. Don’t touch me.”
