Stealing Your Heart

“Oh? Isn’t that a good thing? Why are you acting like you’re questioning an inmate?” Su Zhan cut in as he glanced at Zong Jinghao. It wasn’t easy to find someone as accomplished as Tawan, so he didn’t want Zong Jinghao to scare the former away.

“Come, have a seat.” Su Zhan ushered Tawan in warmly.

To which the latter nodded and replied, “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome. We might become a family soon. Don’t stand on formalities.” Su Zhan gave Qin Ya a slight shove and whispered, “Get him a cup of water.”

“You should go get it.” Qin Ya refused to budge and gave him a hard stare.

Su Zhan smacked his lips. “Fine. I’ll go.”

He was used to Qin Ya ordering him around.

If one day she started being gentle to him, he might not get used to that.

When he returned with two glasses of water, both Tawan and Zong Yanxi were still rooted to their spots. He placed the glasses on the table and questioned, “Why won’t you sit?”

After asking that, he belatedly realized why they were acting this way. Flashing a grin, he told Zong Jinghao, “Just say yes. You and Tawan are neighbors, aren’t you? You can see your daughter every day. Isn’t that great?”

Zong Jinghao glared daggers at Su Zhan, causing him to immediately zip his mouth shut and plop onto the couch. “He’s being ungrateful,” Su Zhan muttered under his breath.

Su Zhan was being this enthusiastic because he didn’t want Zong Yanxi to miss out on Tawan.

After Su Zhan’s words, Zong Jinghao couldn’t bring himself to say what he had in mind. He waved impatiently and told them, “Sit down.”

“Dad.” Zong Yanxi took the seat beside Zong Jinghao and took his arm. “Does that mean you agree?”

Lin Xinyan glanced at her husband.

Zong Jinghao patted his daughter’s hand. He felt reluctant, but she was an adult who should form a family of her own now. He couldn’t be by her side forever, so it would be pathetic if she spent her whole life alone.

His wish would be fulfilled if his daughter found someone who would take care of her forever.

“If you don’t speak, I’ll consider it a silent consent.” Lin Xinyan, who had been quiet the whole time, broke the silence.

Immediately, Zong Jinghao murmured in assent.

Zhan uttered excitedly. His enthusiasm made it
