Stealing Your Heart

“Sure.” Zong Yanchen agreed.

“You’ve traveled a long way, so you must be thirsty. I’ll bring you some water.” With that, Chen Shihan went to pour a glass of water for him.

“Yuan’er… Where are you?” Zong Yanchen reached out, searching for her.

When Mu Yuan’er placed her hand on his, Zong Yanchen clasped it and said, “When we reach C City, you’ll meet my parents and my siblings…”

“Zong Yanchen…” Before Zong Yanchen could finish his sentence, Mu Yuan’er interrupted him. I thought you were someone from a common family, but I was wrong. On the way to your house, everyone serves you very well. And your father, I’ve heard he’s not someone average.

She asked, “Is it true you’re not from a normal family?”

“Don’t worry. My mother is gentle, and she’ll welcome you. My family members are friendly, too. You’re the one I like, so they will surely accept you.” Zong Yanchen wished to change her impression of his family.

Chen Shihan brought water to the room and heard Zong Yanchen’s words. Stopping her tracks, she stared at Mu Yuan’er. I thought she’s just his savior, but it seems like there’s something between them.

Could it be that she did something to Zong Yanchen to make him develop feelings for her? There’s no way for Zong Yanchen to like her since he can’t see her as his eyes are injured.

To Chen Shihan, Mu Yuan’er wasn’t a suitable match for Zong Yanchen, let alone marrying into the Zong family because she was a country bumpkin.

Walking toward Zong Yanchen, she handed him the glass of water and turned to look at Mu Yuan’er. “Can I speak with you for a second? I wish to know what happened during the days you saved Yanchen.”

“Sure.” Mu Yuan’er’s attitude was neither servile nor overbearing.

“Aunt, Yuan’er’s quite timid. Don’t scare her, please.” Zong Yanchen chuckled. But deep down, he was worried Mu Yuan’er would be unused to the surroundings and people here.

Chen Shihan looked at him and said, “Kiddo, when did you start caring for people like this?”

Is he bewitched by this girl? He had never treated a girl so well, not to mention he even defended her.
