Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 914

Zong Yanxi followed Guan Jing’s line of sight and explained, “My friend was here.”

Guan Jing asked, “Male or female?”

Startled by his question, Zong Yanxi scratched her head but chose to answer truthfully, “Male.”

After that, Guan Jing ordered the two men to wait outside while he entered the room alone and continued probing, “Did he stay the night here?”

Zong Yanxi closed the door and told him the truth once again. “Yes.”

After hearing her answer, Guan Jing glanced at her with obvious surprise flashing across his eyes.

Zong Yanxi scratched her head helplessly when she realized that he was overthinking things.

“This friend of mine was the one who saved me back then. He was in a bad mood yesterday, so he came here for some drinks. In the end, he had one too many, and I felt uneasy letting him go home alone, so I let him crash here for the night.” Then, she pointed at the couch. There was a blanket strewn across it, looking like someone had slept on it.

Guan Jing, too, realized that he had been overthinking it. She was someone who had suffered emotionally. Hence, it wasn’t likely that she would act recklessly.

With that thought in mind, he sat down.

Zong Yanxi then queried, “Uncle Guan, have you eaten?”

Guan Jing nodded.

“I saw that you brought two men with you. Who are they?”

Just as the question left Zong Yanxi’s lips, her phone rang. She picked it up and saw Gu Xian’s caller ID flashing across the screen. When she saw that it was Gu Xian, her eyebrows were raised in surprise. Didn’t he just leave?

She swiped to answer the call.

“Yanxi, are you alright?”

Gu Xian’s anxious voice sounded the moment the call connected.

At the other end of the phone, Zong Yanxi was at a loss for words.

What’s with this guy? She thought to herself as confusion settled over her.

“Gu Xian, what’s wrong with you?”

“Oh. N-Nothing.” Gu Xian had already climbed the stairs up to this floor by then. He saw the two men standing guard outside the door and noticed that her voice sounded completely normal, nowhere near someone who was in trouble. Thus, he tentatively asked, “Do you want to come outside?”

Zong Yanxi fell silent once again.

“Didn’t I already tell you that I’m staying at the hotel to work?”
