Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 954

Initially, Nan Cheng wondered if he shouldn’t tell Jiang Mohan about what recently happened – Ling Wei escaped. Nevertheless, he realized now that Jiang Mohan kept thinking about Zong Yanxi. The only thing to stop him from looking for her immediately was that he hadn’t recovered from his leg injury.

So, Nan Cheng opined that he wouldn’t look for Zong Yanxi right away if he knew Ling Wei escaped.

At the same time, Nan Cheng was curious as to why he wanted Ling Wei dead.

Why does he suddenly want to see Ling Wei dead?

Nonetheless, Nan Cheng dared not to ask him about it.

When Jiang Mohan recollected himself, he inquired, “What happened?”

“Well… Ling Wei escaped,” Nan Cheng replied.

“What?” Jiang Mohan’s eyes narrowed when he continued, “Who did it?”

After all, Ling Wei would not be able to escape by herself.

Given that someone certainly helped her, he didn’t ask what transpired but who did it.

“It’s Captain Song’s man, but I haven’t figured out the details. I will go to his office tomorrow.”

Jiang Mohan furrowed his eyebrows and added, “I’ll go with you tomorrow.”

Nan Cheng was shocked because he wasn’t supposed to move after the recent surgery.

“Get a wheelchair when I’m discharged.”

Nan Cheng fell silent and nodded.

On the other hand, Zong Yanxi didn’t stay at a hotel.

When she realized that Sorn wasn’t Tawan’s illegitimate child but his adopted daughter, she changed her views on Tawan and even felt pity for Sorn.

As an orphan, Sorn was fortunate that a good foster family adopted her. Otherwise, she would have a hard time surviving in society.

In the morning, Tawan initially wanted to bring Sorn out to walk around. However, he suddenly had an important matter to attend to and couldn’t fulfill his promise to her.

As such, Zong Yanxi had to stay for an extra day too because he couldn’t give her a ride to the hotel.

As she was free, she helped Tawan console Sorn.

Sorn was displeased that Tawan reneged on his promise again.

It wasn’t the first time that he couldn’t deliver his promise to her, after all.

She sat on the European-style couch, hugging her favorite toy. At this moment, she seemed rather tiny compared to the couch.

Besides, she looked pitiful when she hung her head wordlessly.

Zong Yanxi hobbled and sat on the couch carefully. Even though she looked at Sorn for a while, Sorn didn’t utter a word nor look up at her.

She gently pinched and pulled the lace of Sorn’s dress with two fingers. Then, she said, “Sorn.”

“You don’t have to console me. I’m fine. I understand that Daddy is busy.” When Sorn looked up, Zong Yanxi could feel a sense of gloom in her crystal clear eyes.

She was obviously dejected and only acted tough even though she insisted that she didn’t mind.

Zong Yanxi was tempted to take Sorn into her arms.

“I’ll bring you out after my legs recover, okay?” Zong Yanxi continued to console her, “Since we can’t go to the playground today, how about I teach you how to draw?”

Sorn blinked her eyes, yet she didn’t seem very excited about it. After a while, she asked, “How can drawing be interesting?”

It was easy to coax the girl. Eventually, Zong Yanxi kept her company for almost the entire day. Since Tawan hadn’t come home yet after dinner, Zong Yanxi brought her to the bedroom.

She had to put Sorn to bed by telling her a bedtime story.

After she finished, Sorn looked at her lovingly and blinked her eyes gently. “This is a wonderful story.”

Deep in Sorn’s heart, she wished that Zong Yanxi was her Mommy.

Zong Yanxi didn’t sleep well for a few days. So, after Sorn fell asleep, she unknowingly dozed off too.

It was late at night when Tawan came home.

He asked the maid about what happened at home today.

Sally told him that the two were drawing by the river today. Besides, she even pointed at Sorn’s drawing and explained, “See, this is Sorn’s drawing. She had a great time today.”

Tawan came up to her and took the drawing to take a closer look. Well, it’s not bad!

“The lady took good care of Sorn. Besides, Sorn had been a good girl today. She went to bed obediently after I helped her take a shower.”

Tawan raised his eyebrows slightly as if he were surprised to hear that Sorn had been a “good girl.”

Whenever he came home late in the past, this little girl would refuse to go to bed and insist on waiting for him.

Therefore, it was not normal that she was so obedient today.

“I’ll check up on her.”

He walked toward Sorn’s room after telling the maid.
