Stealing Your Heart

The room was covered in darkness. As the light from the opened door gradually illuminated the room, she saw a shadow of a figure.

Her hand that was holding onto the knob tensed up. She thought that she would be strong enough to face her parents. But when she came face to face with them, emotions overwhelmed her. She greeted with a choking voice, “Dad.”

Zong Jinghao didn’t intend to reprimand her. After the incident, he knew that she had matured and learned from her mistakes.

“Dad, I was wrong.” Zong Yanxi threw herself into his embrace. She had planned not to cry in front of her parents but emotions just overwhelmed her.

She couldn’t control herself. Just like a movie, everything she had suffered during the past year flashed across her mind. The images were so clear that she felt as if she was reliving them.

Zong Jinghao patted her on her shoulder and murmured. “It was all my fault.”

The biggest mistake he made in his life was misreading Jiang Mohan. He was so confident that his daughter’s qualities would cause Jiang Mohan to fall in love with her. However, he didn’t expect it to end in such a disaster.

“No, I chose to walk that path myself.” Zong Yanxi wiped the tears off her face.

Realizing that no one else was to blame other than herself, she willingly admitted her mistake and prepared to bear the consequences. The last thing she wanted was for her parents to blame themselves.

As Zong Jinghao wiped the tears off the corner of her eye, he felt extremely grateful that she was alright.

Sitting by the bed, Lin Xinyan looked out the window with her back facing the door. She wasn’t dressed in her pajamas yet and neither was Zong Jinghao. They obviously hadn’t slept and were waiting for her instead.

They didn’t get the door because they were blaming themselves for not protecting their child. They too were hesitant to face her and were equally worried about losing control of their emotions.

Zong Yanxi sat down beside the figure by the bed. Despite being covered by the shadows, she could still see the slight tremble of the woman’s shoulders.

She called out in a choking voice, “Mom.”
