Stealing Your Heart Chapter 915
The door opened, and Zong Yanxi said to the two men outside, “Come on in.”
Both men bowed slightly at her and respectfully said, “Ms. Zong.”
Zong Yanxi nodded and shifted to the side to allow them passage.
Then, she shut the door behind them. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Hiding around the corner, Gu Xian had personally witnessed the scene that just happened.
He was sure that Zong Yanxi was indeed acquainted with that man.
But if they knew each other, why didn’t she tell me?
Why did she intentionally hide it? Does she even see me as her friend?
He clearly knew the answer to his question. However, he couldn’t help but feel upset that she didn’t mention anything about it.
Back in the room, Guan Jing was introducing the two men to Zong Yanxi. He pointed at one of them, saying, “His name is Tian Qifeng. He’s the older brother.”
Then, he pointed at the other man. “This is Tian Qilang, the younger brother. They’re twins and used to be in the special forces before. They are very skilled, so you can be rest assured with them by your side.”
When Guan Jing said that they were brothers, Zong Yanxi did a double-take at them and scrunched her forehead. These two didn’t look alike at all. In fact, the younger twin was even taller than the older one.
“We’re fraternal twins.” The older brother, Tian Qifeng, who could sense Zong Yanxi’s confusion, explained, “I heard that you have a brother too, Ms. Zong. The two of you are twins as well.”
Zong Yanxi nodded and said, “We looked quite alike when we were young, though.”
As a matter of fact, they still looked alike after they grew up. The only difference was her short height compared to her brother’s due to her gender. Despite that, they bore a resemblance to their parents.
It was especially the case for Zong Yanchen.
“Then the two of you should be fraternal twins as well,” Tian Qifeng replied.
Identical twins were the result of the fertilization of a single egg which split into two. Usually, twins like these would look very identical.
On the other hand, fraternal twins were the result of the fertilization of two separate eggs. They had different genes and hence, had a big difference in appearances.
Even so, they were exceptions where fraternal twins looked similar to each other, but those were scarce and rare.
“From now on, they will be your personal bodyguards,” Guan Jing stated.
Zong Yanxi answered, “Alright.”
She glanced at the two men. “I’ll have to trouble both of you from now on.”
The brothers replied frankly, “This is our job.”
Guan Jing stood just then. “Anyway, I’ve been here for quite some time, and it’s time for me to head back now. Ling Wei’s case has been closed. She won’t be causing any trouble again in the future.”
“You’re leaving so soon?” Zong Yanxi couldn’t help but panic because she hadn’t yet decided whether to tell him about Gu Xian.
“Mm. You don’t want me to?” Guan Jing joked.
Zong Yanxi mulled over it for a moment before speaking, “Why don’t we have dinner together tonight? I’ll invite a friend of mine.”
“Sure,” Guan Jing readily agreed.
“I have some matters to take care of. Both of them will follow you around from now on. Oh, and-” he took out a pair of car keys from his pocket and handed it to her, “This is for you. It’s inconvenient without a car.”
Zong Yanxi accepted the keys and sent Guan Jing off.
“Call me once you’ve decided on the time to meet for dinner,” Guan Jing reminded.
“Sure. I’ll make the arrangements and give you a call.”
She stood by the door as she watched Guan Jing enter the elevator. As she was about the go back into the room, out of nowhere, Gu Xian appeared behind her and grabbed her arm.
Zong Yanxi was scared witless and almost screamed, but realized that it was Gu Xian when she looked over her shoulder. She asked him in bewilderment, “Weren’t you supposed to be at the office? Why are you still here?”
Ignoring her questions, Gu Xian stared at her with a gloomy expression and queried, “Do you see me as your friend?”
“Of course,” Zong Yanxi didn’t miss a beat as she answered.
“Hah. Really? Well, it’s obvious to me that you know him. So why didn’t you tell me?” Gu Xian raised his voice at her as he flung her arm away.
He had befriended her with a genuine heart. It was obvious that she knew who his father was but chose not to tell him.
“What…” Zong Yanxi quickly grasped his meaning. She turned to look at the elevator where Guan Jing had just disappeared into. Her eyes widened as realization dawned on her. He saw?
That’s probably it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be this angry.
“Gu Xian, let me explain…”
“What’s there to explain? I can tell you’ve both known each other for a long time seeing how familiar you were with him. You had many chances to tell me, but you didn’t.” With that, he swiveled on his heels to leave.
“Gu Xian!” Zong Yanxi went after him. “Just let me explain…”
“You’re only going to feed me lies. You didn’t tell me, and that’s the plain truth. What else is there to explain?” Gu Xian didn’t give her the chance to explain at all. Thus, when the elevator doors opened, he swiftly stepped in.
