Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 919

She must’ve kept it a secret from me because she knows me well.

Gu Xian knew he was being too hasty. Calming down, he said, “Say it. I’m ready now.”

Zong Yanxi ran her hand through her hair before explaining tactfully, “Before he got married, he had a complicated private life.”

When Gu Xian heard it, he was confused.

“How complicated?” he steadied himself and asked. Then where did I come from? A one-night stand? Or a product he paid for?

“He’s married now, and his family is really important to him. Even so, I’ve asked him out for dinner. So if you want to reunite with him, tonight’s your only chance. Just to let you know – he’s leaving tomorrow,” said Zong Yanxi in a straightforward manner.

Gu Xian hadn’t made up his mind yet. What if he refuses to acknowledge me?

What if I’m not his son?

I can’t conclude he’s my father based on one photo, right? If I’m wrong, that will be so embarrassing.

As a matter of fact, he was wimping out.

“Are you close to him?” asked Gu Xian.

Upon hearing that, Zong Yanxi stated clearly. “You can be honest with me, and I’ll try my best to help you. But if you’re doing something disadvantageous to him, I might reconsider my decision. We’re like family. After all, he had been helping my father for decades. “

Gu Xian urged, “What about me and you?”

“We’re friends,” blurted Zong Yanxi.

But alas, Gu Xian wasn’t satisfied with her answer.

“Just friends?”

“What else…” she trailed off after noticing Gu Xian’s disappointment. “More than friends?”

“What is that supposed to be? Lovers? No, we’re not. We’re not even family. Can you be clear?” Gu Xian pressed on.

He insisted on an answer.

However, Zong Yanxi fell silent and turned to leave.

He’s obviously doing this on purpose.

Seeing that she was trying to leave, Gu Xian tugged on her sleeve and said, “Don’t leave.”

“Why? Should I stay here for you to bug me?” She spun around and demanded.

Gu Xian squared his shoulders and sighed. He didn’t do it on purpose. Instead, he was just utterly confused and overwhelmed.

“I need your help with a DNA test. If he’s my father, I’ll consider reuniting with him.”

Zong Yanxi then glanced at him. “I’ve never seen you this hesitant.”

“I’m not hesitant. I just don’t want it to be a misunderstanding. If we’re not related, it will be terribly awkward.”

Zong Yanxi thought about it and decided it wouldn’t trouble or bring harm to Guan Jing. After all, she only had to get his DNA to find out whether he was Gu Xian’s birth father. Nodding in agreement, she said, “Okay. So will you join us for dinner?”

“Yes,” replied Gu Xian.

“Huh? Why did you change your mind again?” She couldn’t figure out what he was doing.

“I’m just meeting him for dinner, not reuniting with him,” Gu Xian explained.
