Stealing Your Heart

Tawan might have inherited his title, but everyone looked up to him nonetheless.

He was a capable man, and everyone respected that.

In fact, they were more concerned about his lacking love life.

There used to be rumors of Sorn being an illegitimate child of his, but it was quickly dispelled by people who knew of his adoption.

However, the truth was that the people who spread those rumors knew perfectly well that Sorn was adopted; all they wanted to do was to remind Tawan of the fact that he was a mere human just like everyone else.

When Tawan appeared at the event with a female companion, it stirred up a huge commotion.

People approached them one after another for small talk, though it was obvious that they were there just to find out more about Zong Yanxi.

“Are you sure it’s a good idea to bring a foreigner to an event like this?” a man asked, glancing at Zong Yanxi every so often.

Tawan’s expression did not change. “Isn’t this just a birthday party?”

A royal birthday party was a birthday party nonetheless, so there were no restrictions as to who could accompany him to it.

The man smiled. “Everyone had thought that you weren’t interested in women, but it looks like you’re just not interested in Thai women.”

Zong Yanxi could not understand him, but she could tell that he was not being very polite towards her.

She could feel Tawan’s body tensing up beside her, and she decided to intervene. Smiling sweetly at Tawan, she asked, “Can we go somewhere else? I would like some water.”

“Alright,” Tawan said. He excused himself and led Zong Yanxi to a table nearby loaded with various snacks and wine bottles. The flowers that lined the table glimmered under the soft moonlight.

Tawan glanced at Zong Yanxi in confusion and asked, “Are you sure you aren’t fluent in Thai?”
