Stealing Your Heart

Chapter 1072

Zong Jinghao ignored Su Zhan’s nosiness and gave his daughter some instructions before returning to his room.

After contacting Guan Jing, Zong Yanxi proceeded to buy them flight tickets.

Even after Guan Jing boarded the plane, he didn’t know what was going on.

“Yanxi, where are we going in a rush?”

Zong Yanxi was reading the address Gu Xian sent to her earlier when she heard his query. Without looking up, she responded, “You’ll find out when we get there.”

“You’re being mysterious, aren’t you?” Guan Jing leaned back in his chair and asked, “Is it a good or bad thing?”

Zong Yanxi thought about it before answering uncertainly, “Uh, it’s good? Not entirely good, though. It might be a bad thing…”

“So? Make up your mind.” Guan Jing straightened his back. “Why are you stammering?”

“I’m not stammering. I just don’t know how to explain it to you. I think the person involved should be explaining things to you instead of me.”

There was no need for her to reveal the truth to him right now.

Guan Jing waved his hand dismissively at that. “Forget it. You got this number from your dad, so it must be something important for him to reveal this number to you.”

Zong Yanxi glanced at him as a tinge of sorrow flashed across her eyes. “Uncle Guan, is there anything you find memorable in your life?”

The man squinted his eyes as he recalled his first half of life. After a long silence, he responded, “Not really. There is something I regret, though.”

“What is it?” Zong Yanxi questioned.

Guan Jing drawled, “It’s about a woman.”

“A woman you loved?” Zong Yanxi pressed on.

The man refused to divulge further. “Stop being curious about an adult’s life.”

She pouted in response. “I’m also an adult now.”

“You’re still a kid to your parents.” Guan Jing covered himself with a blanket and announced, “I’m going to take a nap.”

At that, Zong Yanxi stopped disturbing him.

The plane soon landed. The moment they got off the plane, they saw Gu Xian waiting at the exit.

He waved lest Zong Yanxi missed him. “I’m here!”

Zong Yanxi waved in return.

“Oh, I’ve seen him once.” Guan Jing still remembered who Gu Xian was. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Zong Yanxi did not respond.

“I brought Uncle Guan here,” she strode to Gu Xian and announced.

Gu Xian nodded in acknowledgment. “You must be tired from the plane ride. Do you want to grab some food—”

“It’s alright,” Zong Yanxi cut in. “Let’s just go straight to the hospital.”

Guan Jing was confused. “What are you two talking about?”

“It’s urgent. Let’s talk on the way there,” Zong Yanxi urged.

Gu Xian shot a look at her before he declared, “My car’s parked outside the airport. Let’s go.”

They quickly exited the airport and got into the car.

Gu Xian’s expression was grim the entire time. He grabbed the steering wheel silently for some time before plucking his courage to ask, “Do you know a woman with the name of Gu Huiyuan when you were young?”

Guan Jing was surprised by his sudden question as he hadn’t heard that name in a long while.

Bewilderment was written all over his face.

He turned to Zong Yanxi at once. Did she ask me those questions on the plane because she found out?

“Yanxi—”

“I know nothing. Pose your questions to Gu Xian.” Zong Yanxi might’ve agreed to bring Guan Jing here, but she wasn’t going to interfere in their business.

After all, she was clueless about their relationship.

Guan Jing felt an uneasy tingling in the pit of his stomach when he stated. “You’re Gu Xian. Your surname is Gu.”

Gu Xian wasn’t planning on hiding anything, so he replied, “I took my mom’s surname, Gu.”

“Your mother is Gu Huiyuan?” It had been ages, but Guan Jing still remembered the woman clearly.

Gu Xian nodded. “Yes, I’m her son.”

Right then, the car rolled to a stop in front of the hospital.
