Stealing Your Heart Chapter 1014
Zong Yanxi stared at the box on the table. She touched it and said, “This is also for someone.”
Shen Xinyao was curious. She side-eyed the box and spoke slowly, “It’s not for me, right? Haven’t you
already given me the gifts?”
“Yeah, indeed I have, but this isn’t from me. It’s from your mother-inw.” Zong Yanxi punched in the
passcode on the keypad of the silver box on the table.
She picked up the box and showed its content to Shen Xinyao. “Do you like it?”
Shen Xinyao was stumped when she saw what was inside the box. Even the stylist behind her was
also mesmerized. The stylist gasped, “Is this real?”
There was a crown with an enormous diamond sitting in the middle of the box. The craftsmanship of
the jewelry seemed to be dated.
But more importantly, Shen Xinyao wondered if it was real diamond.
A real diamond this big would cost an insane amount of money.
Zong Yanxi took out the crown and replied, “It’s a bridal gift from her mother-inw. Do you think it can
be fake?”
Then, Zong Yanxi ced the crown on Shen Xinyao’s head. “You look dazzling in it.”
Thetter shook her head. “No, this is too expensive. I can’t ept it.”
“It’s from your mother-inw. Just ept it.” Zong Yanxi had her hands on her shoulder as she looked
at Shen Xinyao’s reflection in the mirror. “You look so pretty, just like a princess. The crown fits your
dress so much. I’m sure my little brother would be enchanted by youter.”
Shen Xinyao blushed hard.
She lowered her head bashfully. “Stop ttering me.”
“I’m only saying the truth.” Zong Yanxi then called the stylist over and let her continue with Shen
Xinyao’s makeup. She didn’t want her to bete for the weddingter.
Zong Yanxi’s words knocked the despondence Shen Xinyao had earlier right out of her. Right now, she
was only a shy girl who was looking forward to the moment she exchanged vows with her soon-to-be
husband.
Zong Yanxi leaned against a table and stared at the bride.
She let out a heavy sigh in relief.
Zong Yanxi had gone all out just to make Shen Xinyao forget about the unpleasant event. Today was
the most important day in Zhuang Jiawen and Shen Xinyao’s life. She just hoped for everything to be
perfect at the wedding.
Meanwhile, in a town close to both Country Z and Country F, a girl with a delicate face was tying up her
hair into a ponytail. She then picked up the sack on the ground and continued her journey home.
The girl’s home was on top of a mountain in the West. It was a building with two stories. However, the
girl lived alone. Her parents passed away when she was young. Even her grandmother, who raised her
into the fine maiden she was now, passed on the previous year.
Actually someone else stayed with her. Half a month ago, when the girl was out collecting herbs in the
mountains, she came across an injured man. The guy had a camouge uniform on and was covered
in blood. As a doctor, the girl feltpelled to save the man’s life. She carried him on her back all the
way home by herself.
The girl descended from a line of doctors. ording to her grandmother, her ancestors once served in
the pce and were highly regarded by many. Yet, the glory days of her family didn’tst long. The size
of her family n dwindled with time and now the girl was the only descendant in her n. Also, with
the advent of western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, which the girl practiced, slowly lost its
poprity.
Earlier today, the girl traveled to a small town nearby to look for a rare herb for the injured man. But
after visiting all of the parlors selling traditional Chinese medicine, she still couldn’t find the particr
herb she wanted.
She figured that she might have to travel a bit farther. Hmm, therger shops in the city might have it.
Upon reaching home, she unlocked the gates and strode into her front yard. Before entering her house,
she locked the gates. As she lived alone, she always had to make sure that her house could not easily
be trespassed by strangers.
She put down the sack in her hand on a table and went to the second floor. She opened the windows
and saw a man standing next to the windows. She hurried over to him and closed the curtains. “Have
you lost your mind?”
The man turned around, but his eyes wandered aimlessly across the room.
“You know who you are. Today, when I was in town, there were many people searching for an injured
man, which I assume is you. Also, those men were here earlier, you remember? If I didn’t stash you
underneath the medical supplies in the store, you would have been caught. So don’t you stand at the
window and let the world know that you’re in here!” The girl helped the guy to sit down.
“I couldn’t find your medicine in town today. I’ll head to the city tomorrow to look for it. Hopefully, they
have it at therger chain stores there.”
There was no expression on the man’s face, only the scar from the gash that had recovered. His eyes
were beautiful but a tad dim. “Am I troubling you too much?”
The girl sat by the bed and replied, “Maybe. But you’re too good looking I just cannot leave you alone.”
Zong Yanchen was speechless.
“You seem quite downcast today. Care to share?” The girl turned to look at Zong Yanchen.
“Mhm. Today’s my little brother’s wedding but I can’t make it home.” There was a hint of regret in his
voice.
The girl hurriedly changed the topic. “I bought a chicken today. I’ll cook you some chicken soup. It’s
good for your body.”
As soon as she was done talking, she headed downstairs.
“Yuan’er, are you really hideous?” Zong Yanchen couldn’t believe that the girl had an unsightly face as
her voice was as sweet as a canary’s.
“Yes, I am ugly and many people have said so.” Mu Yuan’er purposely tried to convince Zong Yanchen
that she was hideous.
She hoped that she could surprise Zong Yanchen once his eyes were healed. She figured that he
would have too high expectations if she told him that her looks were not bad.

Thus, Mu Yuan’er wanted to set the bar low. Then, when Zong Yanchen could finally see her, he would
be pleasantly surprised.
“But your voice sounds so angelic.”
