Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 969

“Well…”

Zong Yanxi wanted to turn him down because she felt she should not appear together with him in public.

“Say yes, will you? My Daddy took good care of you and even allowed you to stay with us.” Sorn appeared from nowhere all of a sudden.

Tawan looked at her as if he were eager to hear her answer.

After a round of teasing, Zong Yanxi felt it was not right for her to turn him down. After all, like what Sorn said, Tawan had really taken good care of her and offered help when she needed it the most.

She looked at Sorn. How smart and cunning.

Is she really just a kid? Why does she think and talk like an adult?

She reminds me of my brother in his younger days. They’re just so alike.

“Come on, just go with my Daddy. Help him out, please?” Sorn continued.

Sorn’s words rendered Zong Yanxi speechless.

“It’s not that I don’t want to go…”

“I’ll count that as a yes then.”

Before Zong Yanxi could finish her sentence, Sorn hopped with joy and held Tawan’s arm, “Daddy, she agrees. Yay!”

Tawan knew Zong Yanxi had no intention of accepting his invitation, but he did not give her a chance to say no either. “Thank you.”

What else could Zong Yanxi say at this point? The father-daughter duo had checkmated her.

“All right.” She had no choice but to agree.

Zong Yanxi’s only concern was being seen together with Tawan in public, and she did not want to cause further misunderstanding.

“Yay!” Sorn was overjoyed, “Sally! Bring two basins over. Quick!”

Zong Yanxi felt her reaction was a little overexaggerating. “What do you need to basins for?”

Sorn chuckled. “We didn’t manage to have a good time today. We even missed the Songkran Festival! So you and I are going to celebrate together right here right now.”

Once Sally brought the basins over, Sorn placed one on the floor and scooped water from the swimming pool with another. “Are you ready?”

Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, Zong Yanxi was all drenched.

Both Zong Yanxi and Tawan were stunned.

What on earth is this kid thinking?

“Your turn!” Sorn wasted no time and started filling her basin with water again. She even blinked her eye to signal Tawan to join in the water fight.

Tawan stood still like a statue. “Is there something wrong with your eye?”

Did something get into her eye?

Sorn gave up and rolled her eyes.

Come on, Daddy! I’m trying to be your wing mate here! Why can’t you read my social cue?

Without hesitation, Sorn poured a basin of water on him. Wake up!

Zong Yanxi and Tawan were all wet, but the cheeky culprit was laughing away mischievously.

It’s time to teach this kid a lesson!

Coincidentally, they reached for the basin on the floor at the same time. The minute their hands touched the container, they lifted their heads and looked at each other.

Both Zong Yanxi and Tawan let go of the basin simultaneously so the other person could have it.

Sorn stood beside them and was at a loss for words.

Nothing really bothered her at that moment, and she was finally able to let loose and laugh.

The smile reminded Tawan of when he met her for the first time. He remembered that very clearly.

“Sorn is such a cheeky girl.” Zong Yanxi shook her head and smiled.

“Yeah, she…”

Before Tawan could complete the sentence, Zong Yanxi’s wet shirt caught his attention. Her wet shirt stuck to her skin so tightly that it accentuated her hourglass figure. Tawan could even peer through her shirt and see what was beneath it.

Droplets of water formed around her collarbone, making her look more sensuous than she already was.

Tawan felt a sudden heat in his body, and he immediately turned around.

Zong Yanxi seemed to have noticed his reaction. She lowered her head to check on her body.

A line formed between her brows. She immediately dropped the basin and covered her body with her hands. She was utterly embarrassed!

Oh my God. That was how I looked throughout the session?

Tawan went into the house to fetch a towel for her. He turned his face away when passing her the towel.

Zong Yanxi lowered her eyes and took the towel from Tawan. “Thank you.”

Feeling awkward, Tawan said, “Come and take a shower.”

Throughout the conversation, they avoided having eye contact with each other.

Zong Yanxi nodded gently and went into the house.

Tawan stood still and looked at Zong Yanxi as she walked away.

She quickened her steps and ran into the house as she could somewhat feel he was watching her. She did not even dare to look back.
