Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 916

Zong Yanxi wanted to follow him in but realized that she was still in her pajamas. She retreated and said to him, “I didn’t keep it from you on purpose, but it’s up to you whether or not to believe me.”

She went back to her room after that.

Once she left, Gu Xian thought to himself.

She’s in the wrong, but why did she make it seem like I wronged her instead?

How could she go back to her room just like that? Does she even see me as her friend?

Why didn’t she come after me?

Does she even care about me?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he felt. With anger boiling in his veins, he stormed out of the hotel.

Meanwhile, back at the hotel room, Zong Yanxi was also enraged.

He didn’t even let me explain and just threw his temper at me.

He should’ve at least let me speak!

But no, his anger got the best of him, and he didn’t even give me the chance to speak.

Still in the room, Tian Qifeng and Tian Qilang, the twins, were very perceptive. They could tell that Zong Yanxi’s emotions were unstable the moment she came in. Thus, they both left the room.

They had also overheard the argument she had with Gu Xian earlier. However, they didn’t know who they were arguing about.

The reason they were hired to guard Zong Yanxi was because of their time in the special forces with Zong Yanchen back then. Besides, they had also been under the care of Major-General Wen.

Later on, Zong Yanchen was transferred away because of his outstanding performance. They didn’t know which unit he had been moved to, neither were they able to contact him.

Rumor had it that he had joined a national secret organization. Hence, people were not privy to the details of his whereabouts and missions.

One day, Wen Xiaoji had come to them, saying that he needed their help.

Just like that, they left the special forces.

However, they planned to go back once Zong Yanxi didn’t need them anymore.

Before being introduced to Zong Yanxi, Guan Jing had briefed them in detail about the people as well as the happenings surrounding Zong Yanxi.

It was so detailed that they even knew who Gu Xian was.

He was Zong Yanxi’s friend and also the person who saved her life. Thus, while Zong Yanxi and Gu Xian were having a dispute, they didn’t intervene because they knew that Gu Xian posed no threat to Zong Yanxi.

Right then the door was suddenly jerked open. Zong Yanxi had changed her clothes. Then, she looked at her two bodyguards and ordered, “One of you follow me. The other one stays here.”

Indeed, taking both of them with her in broad daylight would garner too much attention. Even though they weren’t in their military uniforms, they couldn’t conceal the aura of a well-trained military soldier that surrounded them.

“You stay,” Tian Qifeng ordered.

The younger twin was slightly displeased. “It’s better for me to go.”

“I’m older than you, so you should listen to me,” Tian Qifeng argued.

Zong Yanxi was speechless.

“Just because you’re older doesn’t mean I have to listen to you. Besides, you only came out a few minutes earlier than I did.”

“Mom and Dad named us Feng and Lang. ‘F’ stands for first, and ‘L’ stands for last. So what I say goes, because I’m first and you’re last.”

The younger brother was lost for words.

Zong Yanxi quickly cut in, “You’re both great, and I have orders for the person who stays back too.”

When she said that, Tian Qilang was no longer so reluctant anymore.

Zong Yanxi handed Tian Qilang a card. “Since you’re both going to follow me around, I need to give you the best treatment. You stay back and see if there’s an empty room beside mine. If there is, book it. We need to arrange your accommodation at the soonest.”

However, Tian Qilang didn’t take the card from her. With a hint of disappointment in his voice, he informed, “All of this has already been arranged.”

They would only take what they needed and nothing more.

Only then did she realize that Guan Jing must have made all the necessary arrangements before offering her these two bodyguards.

She sighed softly, deeply frustrated by that knowledge. “Fine, then.”

Left without a choice, she kept her card and left the hotel room.

Tian Qifeng was the one who followed her out.

“Pass me the car keys. I’ll drive,” Tian Qifeng offered.

Zong Yanxi gave him the keys and was about to get into the car when Nan Cheng came over.
