Stealing Your Heart Chapter 645

He added immediately, “Name something in nature.”

Zong Yanxi had no clue at all. This is so difficult.

“Uncle Shao, give me an easy one this time. I haven’t gotten even one right,” she whined with a pout on her face.

“This one’s already pretty easy,” Shao Yun patted her head. “You need to think.”

“All she thinks about is food. She’s such a pig,” Zong Yanchen said while fanning the flame.

Zong Yanxi’s anger rose immediately. “You’re the pig! Your family is full of pigs!”

The silence in the living room was deafening. Suddenly, waves of laughter rang out, with Shao Yun and Cheng Yuwen laughing the most heartily.

This was because they were the only ones in the living room who were not of the Zong family.

Zong Yanchen shook his head and sighed. My sister is really a fool.

Zong Yanxi had only said that because she was provoked by Zong Yanchen. She regretted it as soon as those words left her mouth. Looking around at everyone’s expressions, she felt embarrassed and tried to hide behind her father.

Zong Jinghao patted her back. “It’s okay.”

She still had her head buried in him, silent.

“Shall I help you with the riddles?” He asked in an attempt to comfort her.

Hearing this, she immediately lifted her head. “Really?”

Her mood sure changes quickly.

He smiled, exasperated. “Yes.”

“Then tell me, what’s the answer to ‘voiceless it cries, wingless flutters, toothless bites, mouthless mutters’?” Being a determined kid, Zong Yanxi wanted to get at least one riddle right.

Zong Jinghao tried to give her a hint. “I know it sounds like an animal, and while animals are part of nature, you have to think outside the box.”

“I know!” Zong Yanchen got the answer with just a single hint. “It’s wind!” He grinned.

Zong Yanxi glared at Zong Yanchen. “I hate you!”

He’s always stealing everything from me!

“Uncle Shao, give me another one.” Zong Yanxi whined while climbing onto her father’s shoulders. She whispered to him, “Daddy, you have to help me. I have to win this time.”

Zong Jinghao smiled, exasperated. He could not turn down the request from his precious daughter.

Guess I have no choice.

Shao Yun understood what Zong Yanxi was trying to do. To appease her stubbornness, he thought of another riddle. “I help engines spin and pants stay up, what am I?”

Zong Yanxi blinked in confusion.

What kind of stupid riddle is this? It’s so difficult.

“Hey, Daddy! Your belt’s digging into me!” She complained.

Zong Jinghao was in fact doing this on purpose. He was hugging his daughter tightly precisely so that his belt would dig into her.

Zong Yanchen saw the sly look on his father’s face and asked, “Is the answer a belt?”

It clicked in his head as soon as he said it. “Oh, it is! Haha, I got it right again!”

Zong Yanxi glared at him. “How could it be a belt?”

Shao Yun enlightened her. “It is. A belt goes around the various part of the machinery and allows everything to spin in sync. And you wear belts to keep your pants from falling.”

When Zong Yanxi heard that ‘belt’ was indeed the correct answer, she immediately added, “I was the one who said it first, so I should be the one who got it right.”

“It’s not like you knew it was the answer,” Zong Yanchen protested.

“I said it first so I’m the one who got it right!” Zong Yanxi repeated in a shout as if that would make her more convincing.

Cheng Yuwen laughed and whispered to Shao Yun, “Ruixi’s temper is really bad, huh?”

Shao Yun laughed too.

Lin Xinyan poked her head out of the kitchen to call everyone to dinner.

Zong Yanxi got down from her father’s shoulders and ran towards her. “Mommy, Yanchen’s always bullying me.”
