Stealing Your Heart Chapter 1048
After she opened the door, she was shocked the moment she saw Tawan at her doorstep. She couldn’t
believe he was aware of his exact location.
“What are you doing here?”
Tawan asked with an anxious look, “Are you fine?”
“Me? I’m perfectly fine.” She found him odd.
“Why have I received a text from your brother saying you’re in danger? He was the one who has given
me your current address and told me to rush over to your aid as soon as possible…” Halfway through
his speech, he noticed something seemed to be off.
On the other hand, the woman was shocked by the man’s words because his brother managed to track
her down and locate her easily.
“Why don’t youe on in?”
Since he had rushed over to the hotel, she couldn’t possibly keep him at her doorstep.
The moment he entered the room, she served him a ss of water and said, “Please, have a seat.”
He hummed in return while she headed into the washroom and called Zhuang Jiawen.
“What’s going on?”
“What’s going on? Oh! Have you seen Tawan?” Immediately, Zhuang Jiawen, who was on the other
end of the call, figured out what his sister was talking about.
He leaned against the chair with his legs crossed on the table. “Since you’re away with our beloved
grandmother, do you think I’ll let my guard down? I need to keep an eye on you since you’re currently
in B City. As I’m afraid you’re going to run into a certain someone again, I have Tawan dropped by for
two reasons. Firstly, I want to help him because he has a crush on you. Secondly, I’m afraid you’re
going to be deceived by others.”
The second reason Zhuang Jiawen had brought up indicated to a certain something they were both
aware of.
“Jiawen, I’ll deal with it on my own.”
“If you don’t want Dad and Mom to be worried, please stop turning me down.”
Zong Yanxi was at a loss for words because her brother’s words made sense. In the end, she
requested, “Can you please get in touch with me beforehand before making any decision in the future?
You need to stop giving me the shock of my life over and over again.”
“Alright. I’ll keep that in mind for future reference.” Zhuang Jiawen did a great job because he managed
to get the better of his sister as he had gotten ahead of her. Since Tawan was there, she couldn’t
possibly chase him away now.
“There are quite a few attractive spots in B City, right? Why don’t you bring Tawan around with you?”
“Stop poking your nose into my business!” She hung up the call right after she finished yelling at his
brother.
On the other hand, Zhuang Jiawen chuckled because Shen Xinyao was right; Tawan was a great man.
Most importantly, he wouldn’t allow the possibility of anything happening between his sister and Jiang
Mohan again.
Thus, he was determined to get in her way and prevent another tragedy from urring before things
got out of hand.
In the meantime, Zong Yanxi put her mobile phone aside and walked out of the bathroom.
By then, Tawan had figured out the actual situation too. He got up from his seat and asked, “I think I’m
going to cause you inconvenience if I stay around, right? I’ll leave in the morning!”
Actually, he found it odd the moment he received the text from Zhuang Jiawen. At first, he couldn’t
figure out the reason he texted him, instead ofing over to his sister’s rescue personally. As it
turned out, he had a hidden agenda in mind. He wanted to match-make them.
In fact, Tawan had a crush on Zong Yanxi, but he had never once intended to force his way through
because he didn’t want to give her a hard time.
Hence, he had suggested leaving for her sake.
Shaking her head, she walked over to him and said, “No! Shall we head out and grab a drink together?”
“Sure.”
As she had put on a set of loungewear, she wasn’t in the condition to head out. “You have to wait for
me because I need to get changed.”
“I’ll wait for you outside!”
He was about to walk out of the room, but she stopped him and said, “It’s fine! Just wait for me on the
couch!”
Tawan returned to the couch and had his eyes glued to the phone because he dared not look around
when his crush was around.
After she returned to the room, she got changed into a simple yet elegant-looking dress. She didn’t
bother to doll herself up since she had just taken her shower.
Once she had everything sorted out, she walked out of the room and said, “Let’s go.”
Judging by his wrinkled suit, she thought he must have rushed over to the hotel right after the ne
touched down.
“I know there’s a café nearby that serves great coffee.”
Nodding, Tawan went after Zong Yanxi and made their way over to the nearby café as suggested.
Throughout the way, they had crossed the lively streets and encountered a lot of people on the streets
as they walked over to the café.
“Are you here without anything luggage?” She asked since he had shown up at her doorstep without
anything else by his side. His clothes were wrinkled too.
He nodded in return. “Mmm.”
“Since you’re in my hometown, I’ll show you around and bring you to get some clothes. Why don’t you
stay around for a day or two when you’re already here? Do you have any time to spare?”
Actually, he had a lot on his te, yet he lied and said, “Yes.”
Zong Yanxi responded with a smile and showed him the way to the café.
Finally, they reached the café and took their seats.
After they settled down, she asked him, “What do you want?”
“Anything will do.”
In the end, she returned with two sses of random drinks.
“Tomorrow, I’ll bring my grandmother around with me. Do you want to join me?” She decided to strike
up a conversation with the man opposite him. Otherwise, things would get increasingly awkward
between them.
He asked in return, “Where are you guys heading over?”
“I think we’ll drop by the ces we have lived before because my grandmother misses them a lot.”
“That sounds like a great idea.”
“Why?” She was curious because it wasn’t his hometown. Therefore, he shouldn’t have found their
itinerary interesting.

He didn’t bother to hold back and replied in a serious tone, “It’s because I’ll get to know you better.”
Pursing her lips in return, Zong Yanxi was at a loss for words because she had turned him down many
times back then. She didn’t want to bring it up anymore. Otherwise, it would make her seem like a
nagging old hag.
Staring at her in the eyes, he denoted, “You don’t have to feel stressed because I’m not trying to rush
things through. In fact, you don’t have to worry about anything because we’re both adults! I’m aware of
the potential consequences of my actions. If I’m making things hard for you, you have to tell me
because I have no intention to do that.”
Suddenly, a woman, who had dressed up ostentatiously and applied strong smelling perfume, showed
up in the café. They could detect the lingering scent of her perfume as she passed by their seat.
The waiter said, “This way, please.”
Soon, the woman took a seat at the unupied table next to them.
“I’ll be cing my order once my friend joins me.” The woman ced her designer bag on herp and
ran her fingers through her curly hair.
The waiter left her as she had instructed.
Meanwhile, the woman’s appearance hadn’t gotten in the way of the duo.
Zong Yanxi started growing fond of Tawan because even though he had a crush on her, he showed no
signs of forcing his way through to achieve his goal to win her over. She teased, “I’ll keep that in mind
and let you know if I’m going to reconcile with him. I’ll chase you away since you’re not supposed to get
in our way when the timees.”
He was shocked as it was written all over his face for a few seconds before he regained his
composure. The observant woman caught a glimpse of his response and beamed, “I’m just kidding!”
