Stealing Your Heart

Tawan didn’t even realize she was upset. Thinking she was sleepy, he sent her a final text: Alright, sleep tight. I’m going to bed, too.

Zong Yanxi was lying in her bed when she heard her phone buzzing. She grabbed her phone earnestly and immediately saw the text on the screen before she could unlock her phone. Staring at his reply, she burst out in laughter.

He didn’t even realize I was upset. Hmm, why is he so insensitive?

She placed her phone aside and fell asleep.

The next morning, Tawan arrived.

Zong Yanxi was going down the stairs when she spotted her soon-to-be husband talking to Zong Jinghao in the living room.

“Are you here for a free meal?” she asked as she walked to them.

It took Tawan a while to understand what she meant. He replied jokingly, “Yes, I’m here for a free meal.”

Zong Yanxi rolled her eyes and sat down next to her father.

“Tawan is going back.” Zong Jinghao turned to his daughter. “He wants you to return to Thailand with him. What do you think?”

Zong Yanxi couldn’t make up her mind, so she didn’t reply and instead asked Tawan, “Was that what you meant last night?”

The man nodded. “I need to return to handle something.” He paused before adding, “I hope you can come with me.”

To his dismay, Zong Yanxi responded, “I don’t want to come with you.”

“Your grandma isn’t doing well, and your mom wants to stay here. We won’t be going back, for now, so you should return and clean our house as it has been empty for too long,” Zong Jinghao told her.

“Dad, you’re trying to force me to leave with him!” That’s too obvious!

Zong Jinghao had already made that decision after Tawan told him about what happened in B City.

He didn’t want Jiang Mohan to disturb them anymore.
