Stealing Your Heart

Tawan didn’t want to release her, but his phone kept buzzing insistently.

Left with no choice, he released her and said, “I need to take this call.”

Zong Yanxi’s cheeks had turned scarlet by now. They had officially started dating, but she felt it was too soon for them to be intimate. She wasn’t used to it yet.

“I should go now. Take that call.” She stood up and headed toward the door, but Tawan clutched her hand. “I’ll give you a ride home later.”

“No need. I drove here myself.”

As his phone was still buzzing relentlessly, he released his grip on her. “Be careful then. Text me when you get home.”

“Alright.” Zong Yanxi spun on her heels and left.

After driving back home, she spotted a bruise on the corner of Zong Yanchen’s eye before she went upstairs.

“Yanchen!” she greeted him.
