Stealing Your Heart

“I mind,” Zong Yanxi interrupted him. However, she quickly apologized for being rude, “I’m sorry, I… I…”

“You don’t have to explain. I understand.” Not wanting her to feel uncomfortable, Tawan added, “During this period, I’m willing to be your shield.”

Just as he spoke, he didn’t allow Zong Yanxi the opportunity to refuse him. He turned and returned to his room, leaving her standing outside alone.

Lowering her gaze, she didn’t knock on the door in the end. Instead, she headed back down in the elevator. Waiting outside the hotel, Shen Xinyao and Zhuang Jiawen were alone in the car parked by the roadside. She used the opportunity to suggest, “I think Tawan is a wonderful guy. Even Dad praises him a lot.”

Zhuang Jiawen suddenly turned and squinted his eyes at her. “What do you mean?”

Why is she saying this?

“I think Yanxi is still very young…”

Zhuang Jiawen’s eyes widened while his expression darkened. Realizing that she had angered him, Shen Xinyao quickly shut her mouth. She then averted her gaze by looking out the window.

“Yao.” Zhuang Jiawen’s tone was grim. He calmed himself down before he continued, “Next time, don’t ever say such a thing again.”

Reaching out, he pulled Shen Xinyao into his embrace and hugged her tightly. Stroking her on her shoulder, he pondered for a moment before adding, “I can only guarantee that I won’t hurt you, but I can’t guarantee that other men will be like me. Yanxi has been hurt in the past before. Hence, I prefer her to stay single than be with someone that she doesn’t know well enough. At most, I’ll take care of her when she’s old.”

Shen Xinyao knew he was concerned about Zong Yanxi.

“I shouldn’t have said it just now.”

“No, I know that you mean well, am I right?” He lowered his head.
