Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 950

Zong Yanxi approached the giggling Sorn. “Let me carry you.”

She felt that she was too straightforward just now because it was natural for a childlike Sorn to crave motherly affection. I should’ve rejected her indirectly.

“Does your Daddy usually not have the time to play with you?” Zong Yanxi thought that way because Sorn seemed very easy to please; she was overjoyed at the mention of Tawan bringing her to the playground.

Sorn nodded. “He’s very busy.”

No matter how busy he is, he should spend more time with her. After all, she doesn’t have a mother.

“But he tries his best to spend time with me.” Sorn’s mood turned gloomy all of a sudden and left Zong Yanxi astonished.

Did I say something wrong?

Why is she sad all of a sudden?

I didn’t expect that at all!

“Um, Sorn…”

Sorn met her gaze and assured, “I’m fine.”

Zong Yanxi didn’t know what to say anymore.

This kid…

“My father and mother died. He was the one who adopted me,” Sorn explained.

Zong Yanxi widened her eyes in surprise. Was I mistaken all along?

Sorn isn’t Tawan’s illegitimate child!

He isn’t an irresponsible man!

“My parents are gone and my grandparents didn’t want to take me in, so I became an orphan that no one wants. He was the one who brought me here and became my Daddy…”

Sorn blinked and continued, “Actually, I pity him too.”

Zong Yanxi was perplexed.

She pities Tawan?

But why?

He has money, power, and is well-respected, so why does she pity him?

Did she mistaken the word ‘pity’ for something else?

If he’s considered piteous, what about all the common folk who work their heads off to earn money?

“He’s so busy he doesn’t have time to look for a wife. Isn’t it just sad?” Sorn blinked.

Zong Yanxi had a revelation.

Is that why she keeps asking ladies to be her Mom? Is she trying to find him a wife?

This little kid…

I really don’t know what to think about her.

“Sorn.” Tawan appeared and instructed, “Come here.”

Sorn immediately pounced at him and nuzzled her head affectionately on him. “Daddy.”

Tawan picked her up and placed her on a chair next to the dining table. The table was very long and it could accommodate at least twenty people.

“Ms. Zong, please join us.” Tawan graciously pulled the chair for her.

Zong Yanxi still felt embarrassed at how she jumped to conclusions about his character and assumed that Sorn was his illegitimate child.

Does he want Ling Wei dead?

Indeed, she tried to kill Zong Yanxi, but Zong Yanxi is still alive, right? Why should she pay with her life?

She’s already in jail, and that’s enough.

“Um…”

“Nan Cheng, don’t defend her. She doesn’t deserve it. She’s more evil than you think. Just follow my instructions.” Jiang Mohan kept his eyes shut as he tilted his head slightly towards the window.

Nan Cheng fell silent for a while before acknowledging, “I’ll be on my way.”

Nan Cheng couldn’t stop thinking about Ling Wei.

Even though he didn’t understand what was happening, he still went with Jiang Mohan’s command.

However, he didn’t manage to find Ling Wei.

What’s going on?

He immediately went to Chief Wu to question him, but he was in the dark as well.

He even denied Nan Cheng’s claims that Ling Wei was missing, “How is that even possible?”

“I really didn’t see her. I wouldn’t have come to you otherwise.” Nan Cheng stared at him. “Don’t tell me she escaped?”

“Are you joking? It’s not that easy to escape from this place!” Chief Wu was solemn because after all, a missing inmate was his responsibility.

He had promised Guan Jing that he would keep a close eye on her and make sure she never sees the light of day.

How would he explain himself to Guan Jing now that she was missing?

“Let’s go.” Chief Wu took the lead and Nan Cheng tagged along.
