Stealing Your Heart Chapter 211


    She got dressed and went downstairs where she hesitated on the way down when she saw Wen Xian


    standing alone in the sitting room. She was not sure how she was going to greet her. After all, she slept


    with her husbandst night.


    She did not know how was their rtionship like. But she could sense that the man cared about his


    wife.


    Wen Xian stopped looking around when she saw ady standing at the top of the stairs on the first


    floor. She froze for a moment, wondering whether Cheng Yuxiu had overheard her conversation with


    Zong Qifeng just now.


    “How long have you been standing up there?” Wen Xian frowned.


    Cheng Yuxiu walked down the stairs. “I’ve juste down.”


    Wen Xian nodded. “Come and have breakfast with me.”


    Cheng Yuxiu felt ufortable with her around. “When should I leave?”


    Wen Xian stared at her before answering calmly. “You may stay here from now on.”


    “I beg your pardon?” Cheng Yuxiu tensed up. What am I supposed to do with this couple around all


    day? Am I a concubine in ancient times?


    She felt her heart throbbing. She found it difficult to ept such an embarrassing rtionship.


    Wen Xian was quick to see through her dilemma. “I’ll be away to visit my parents for quite a while.


    Please stay back. You can help me take care of him.”


    Cheng Yuxiu looked at Wen Xian before blurting out. “I have noticed that your husband actually loves


    you very much. If you only need to have a child as I have promised earlier. I can…”


    “Just do whatever you have to do,” Wen Xian interrupted her quickly. “Sit down and let’s have


    breakfast.”


    Wen Xian felt better now. As soon as Cheng Yuxiu sat down, she exined, “Our marriage was


    arranged by both families; there is no affection between us.”


    Cheng Yuxiu stared at Wen Xian in consternation. She didn’t expect Wen Xian to share such an


    information.


    Actually, Wen Xian had intended for her confession to be the reason for Cheng Yuxiu to stay back.


    “But…”


    “This is nice. Try it.” Wen Xian cut short Cheng Yuxiu as she ced in front of thetter a bowl of


    porridge prepared by the maid. She didn’t want to hear what Cheng Yuxiu was about to say.


    No doubt, Zong Qifeng treated her well. But she couldn’t reciprocate; she loved someone else.


    That was why she tried very hard to look for a good woman who would love and take care of him.

    With that, Cheng Yuxiu agreed to stay back. Wen Xian had prepared all the essentials for her.


    Throughout her first week-long stay, Zong Qifeng never showed up.


    Cheng Yuxiu felt rxed during the absence of the couple.


    Usually, she would stroll in the yard after dinner. This activity was good for digestion and helped her


    passed time in the vi. It was the only thing she could do and this was the time she was most rxed


    too.


    That night after shower, she picked up a book to read till 11.00 o’clock when she would usually sleep.


    As she put down the book, she heard some noise downstairs. At this hour, she knew even the maid


    would have retired to bed. Who can that be?


    At once, she got out of bed. As she looked downstairs, she saw the maid help steadying Zong Qifeng’s


    wobbly steps. Obviously drunk, he hanged his suit by the shoulder. Looking around the sitting room, he


    asked gruffly, “Where is she?”


    “Madam has gone to visit her parents. She says it will be for quite a while.”


    At first, Zong Qifeng froze briefly. Then heughed.


    Though Cheng Yuxiu was some distance away, she could feel the bitterness in hisughter.


    She walked down the stairs and helped the maid put him on the sofa. “Go and get a nket.”


    “Yes,” answered the maid.


    Cheng Yuxiu mixed a ss of water with honey in the kitchen. “Drink this,” whispered Cheng Yuxiu as


    she helped him sit up. “It will make you feel better.”


    He opened his eyes slowly. There was someone in front of him – a total stranger with nice-looking face


    and bright eyes. Zong Qifeng seemed to have forgotten all about that particr night either in his


    drunken state or his memory had failed him, “Who are you?”


    Instantly, Cheng Yuxiu’s face turned pale. Even her hands trembled as she didn’t know how to answer.


    At this point, the maid came with a nket. Cheng Yuxiu passed the ss of honey water to her.


    “Serve him this.”


    Before the maid could get a grip, Zong Qifeng suddenly shoved at the ss. Bang! The ss fell to


    pieces and cracked the silence of the night.


    “Let me ask you again, who are you?” Zong Qifeng stared at Cheng Yuxiu as he stood up clumsily.


    “You’re drunk.” Cheng Yuxiu lowered her head, afraid to have any eye contact with him. She instructed


    the maid before leaving. “You take over now.”


    However, Zong Qifeng suddenly pulled her by the wrist. She thumped on the sofa and started seeing


    stars. By the time she recovered, he had already climbed on top of her.


    His eyes were blurred. His breath smelled terribly nauseating. Cheng Yuxiu was sure he drank too


    much.


    Slowly, her tension eased. “I’m your new maid. You are drunk, …” Thump! The man copsed right


    upon her.


    He was big and tall. Cheng Yuxiu struggled in terror and finally broke loose of his heavy weight.


    The maid handed Cheng Yuxiu the nket which she used to cover him.


    He proved too heavy for Cheng Yuxiu and the maid to move him upstairs. He had to sleep on the sofa.


    Cheng Yuxiu ced the nket on Zong Qifeng. She told the maid to call it a day, while she stayed to


    clean up the floor.


    The maid nodded. She had no clue who thisdy was, but Madam had wanted thisdy to be treated


    like the mistress of the house. That’s why she listened to her.


    When Cheng Yuxiu finished cleaning up, it was well after midnight. “Water, water.” She heard the man


    the sofa murmuring.


    Cheng Yuxiu prepared another ss of honey water and passed it to him. “Here, water.”


    Zong Qifeng did not respond; he kept asking for water. So, Cheng Yuxiu helped him sit up and let him


    sip from the ss.


    Once his lips got wet, he wanted to drink more.


    Having finished the honey water, his mouth and throat felt much better. At this point, Cheng Yuxiu held


    his head, intending to put him down. But Zong Qifeng gripped her hands firmly. He buried his face in


    her chest.


    Cheng Yuxiu stiffened. She stared at the man hugging her with his eyes closed. He may be very rich,


    but he is like a deserted child; lonely and helpless, desperate to hold on to anyone to keep him


    company.


    This reminded Cheng Yuxiu of her own experience. While this man was abandoned by his wife, she


    was jilted by her boyfriend.


    While pitying him, Cheng Yuxiu found herself overwhelmed with self-pity.


    Zong Qifeng felt asleep before long, she could finally rx now so She bent down and put the ss on


    the table.


    She sat still not wanting to wake him up. She fell asleep eventually. However, when she woke up, she


    got a shock.
