Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 973

Zong Yanxi flinched and moved away from him, a little taken aback by the sudden intimacy.

Tawan, on the other hand, was unfazed by it. “Your hair is messy.”

She raised her hand to tuck the loose strands of hair behind her ear. “Thanks.”

Sorn glanced at the two of them and grinned, taking another bite from the sweetsop fruit in front of her. She noticed the beautifully-wrapped box on the table and asked, “Daddy, what’s inside that box?”

“Clothes,” Tawan replied.

“Who is it for?” Sorn asked.

When Tawan told her that it was for Zong Yanxi, Sorn grabbed Zong Yanxi’s arm and told her to open it.

Zong Yanxi squirmed in her seat. “I’ll rather not.”

“You should at least try it! What if you don’t like it?” Sorn insisted. “Give it a try!”

Zong Yanxi sighed and opened the box to reveal a black gown nestled inside.

She could not tell what brand it was from, but it was obvious that the material used to make the gown was one of a kind. As she moved it around, the hidden patterns on the pitch black fabric shimmered under the light.

“Put it on!” Sorn cheered, reaching out to stroke the fabric. “It’s so silky!”

Zong Yanxi flicked her forehead lightly. “Keep quiet, kid!”

“Huh?” Sorn asked, blinking in confusion.

“You’re a noisy little girl!” Zong Yanxi chided, pretending to be angry.

Sorn fell silent.

Before Zong Yanxi knew it, Sorn had clambered into Tawan’s lap with a hurt look on her face. “Daddy! She’s not cute at all!”

Zong Yanxi was speechless.

Tawan glanced at her, and she lowered her gaze to the gown in the box to avoid making eye contact.

“Put it on. We’re going out at six-thirty,” Tawan said. “You can ask Sally to help you out.”

He turned to Sally and said, “Can you take the gown to the room for Ms. Zong, please?”

Sally walked over and took the gown from Zong Yanxi. “I’ll take my leave first, Ms. Zong.”

She refused to even look at Tawan even though he had been the one giving the order.

Tawan pursed his lips. I think I know why she’s acting like this…

He sighed.

“Daddy, why are you sighing?” Sorn asked, looking up into his eyes.

Tawan picked her up instead of answering her question. “Let’s go and feed the fishes, shall we?”

“Alright!” Sorn chirped.

The fishes were kept in a water-filled rectangular hole in the ground, where they swam around happily amongst the seaweed and rocks.

Sorn took the fish food and threw them into the pond by the handful, while Tawan stared at the window of Zong Yanxi’s room.

Meanwhile, inside the room…

Zong Yanxi slipped into the gown easily, awed by how fitting it was.

The seams of the gown traced the outline of her body perfectly, bringing out her natural curviness.

Sally stood by and studied her from head to toe. “It looks great on you,” she said in Thai.
