Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 957

Amp observed the man before her. “Don’t tell me that you’re into guys… Or else, I just don’t get it. I would say that I’m pretty good-looking, and our social standings are pretty compatible too. Moreover, our parents are good friends. We are literally made for each other- why do you always reject me?”

Tawan sighed helplessly. To him, liking or disliking someone had nothing to do with these extrinsic factors.

Instead, he reckoned affection as something that was pure and unaffected by such external concerns. Even if the other party were a commoner, for example, that would not have a bearing on whether he would like a person or not.

But he had learned that wasting his breath explaining all of these on Amp was futile. Instead, he decided to drop a bombshell on her- albeit it was a lie. “Maybe I do like guys.”

Amp took a step back, eyes widening in horror. “W-Wait, what?”

Looking straight at her, he reiterated, “I like guys.”

Amp was completely struck dumb at Tawan’s statements. For a moment, it felt as if her whole world collapsed.

“S-So, the rumors are true? Y-You don’t have a girlfriend because… Because you’re… “ Amp could barely finish her sentence.

Tawan simply nodded and made a silent prayer that the conversation would end soon.

Another wave of silence followed as Amp processed the situation.

For the lady, the revelation was not exactly an impossible truth to swallow. After all, she had never seen a notable female presence around Tawan all this while. The man was literally a clean slate when it came to such things.

But her feelings prevented her from accepting his words wholesale.

“You know what? Who cares if you’re gay- I’m going to make you straight.” She stepped forward and circled her arms around his. “Regardless of your preferences, it doesn’t change that I like you, and always will.”

Tawan realized he grossly underestimated Amp’s level of persistence.

“Amp… “

The lady covered her ears immediately, predicting that the man was ready to reject her again. “Don’t say anything! I won’t listen. Just know that I’ve liked you for many years, and there’s no one else who can replace you in my heart.”

Tawan pinched his brows in frustration. This is turning him nuts, and he really had no idea how to handle Amp’s fawning adoration anymore.

At this point, Sally made an appearance to announce that breakfast was ready.

“Got it. Please go and inform Sorn and Ms. Zong too.” Sally noted his requests and left. Once she was far away, Tawan returned his attention to Amp for the final time, stating his honest sentiments coldly, “What you feel towards me will be your own issue. My only reply to you is that I don’t like you, and never will.”

With that, he took his leave, leaving behind a heartbroken Amp.

For a long time, she froze in her spot as Tawan’s cruel words resounded in her head.

His parting syllables really shattered her heart.

Along the riverside, Zong Yanxi was having a delightful art lesson with Sorn. The subject of the session was a goose.

It was not their first art lesson- they drew many plants the day before.

After sketching so many plants, Sorn mentioned that she liked things that could fly. Noting that in mind, Zong Yanxi decided that the goose would be a good option for the next lesson.

Sorn pouted midway through the session and lamented, “But this bird doesn’t look pretty at all.” To her, the dull-colored goose came nowhere close to the vibrant parrots she had seen.

Her comment earned a chuckle from Zong Yanxi. Tenderly pinching the girl’s nose, she asked, “Sorn, do you prefer inner beauty, or outer beauty?”

Sorn blinked her eyes in bewilderment, evidently not understanding the question.

“The geese are an example of inner beauty. While they don’t look very pretty, they have a very strong team spirit. They would leave no man behind, so you wouldn’t find a goose that’s traveling alone. Moreover, when a goose in the pack dies, the others would actually kill themselves or die of sadness.”

Sorn considered that as she stared back at her drawing. Finally, she concluded, “If that is so, then I like the goose.”

Her adorableness made Zong Yanxi laugh.

And when she laughed, the little girl also joined in.
