Stealing Your Heart Chapter 1025
Mu Yuan’er fluttered her eyes at Zong Yanchen. “Do you not trust me? Or are you afraid that I am not
able to heal your eyes?”
“Actually, I’m quitefortable now.” Zong Yanchen chuckled.
“You can’t even see me. How is that nice?” Mu Yuan’er’s expression was stern. “I’ll definitely cure you.”
Zong Yanchen beckoned her toe over.
Mu Yuan’er put down the herbs in her hand and walked to him. She instinctively sat on hisp. There
was a faint yet invigorating aroma of herbs around her.

Zong Yanchen’s hand slid along the length of her back before going up to her cheeks. He pinched her
face endearingly, “I’m worried that your ugliness might terrify me.”
Mu Yuan’er rested her head at his shoulder. “Hey, didn’t you say you’re not going to abandon me even
if I am ugly? Are you going against your words now?”
“No, I don’t regret anything I said.” Zong Yanchen’s voice was serious and upromising. “Even if
you are ugly, I will still marry you.”
“I’m both ugly and broke, what do you even like about me?” Mu Yuan’er’s eyes were fixated on Zong
Yanchen. She prodded the side of his face with her pointy nose.
Zong Yanchen could feel her warm breath on his face. He didn’t hate it in the least.
What do I even like about you? Maybe it’s because you have a sweet voice? Perhaps it’s because you
know traditional Chinese medicine. Oh, or is it because you are a kind soul?
Zong Yanchen had no answers to the questions he had for himself. He just knew he liked being around
Mu Yuan’er. Even though he had never seen her face before, her honey-like voice already made him
fall for her.
It was like the breeze on a summer’s day, refreshing and calming.
Zong Yanchen hugged Mu Yuan’er tight. He could feel her dainty frames and the butterflies in his
stomach.
Hmm, maybe it’s because I feel something for her.
Something which I have not felt for other women.
“You’re so skinny! How did you manage to carry me down the mountain?” Zong Yanchen found it
difficult to believe that a girl as meek as amb like her was able to carry him down the mountain alone.
“I might be skinny, but I am not weak at all,” Mu Yuan’er emphasized each of her words. “You never
know you might lose to me in a fight.”
Since young, Mu Yuan’er’s grandmother had trained her to be strong and she had even learned martial
arts from an old master. Not only was she good at it, but she was even better than the male fighters
who had the advantage of strength and stamina. Although Mu Yuan’er seemed frail, her physical
prowess could definitely impress.
“Is that so?” Zong Yanchenughed in disbelief.
Mu Yuan’er flicked her eyebrow. “Let’s have an arm wrestle.”
“For real? Alright! I am intrigued.” Zong Yanchen pursed his lips. There seemed to be a hint of slyness
in his eyes.
However, Mu Yuan’er didn’t notice it at all as she was busy thinking of what bet she should make.
“The loser has to unconditionally grant the winner one wish. What do you think?” Zong Yanchen
proposed.
Ever since Mu Yuan’er brought Zong Yanchen back, he had been under her care. Even though he was
a burly man, he seemed quite weak at the moment. Mu Yuan’er figured that she could defeat Zong
Yanchen if she were able to take down two adult men before.
Unfortunately for her, she hadpletely forgotten the fact that he was a soldier.
“Alright! There’s no going back on what you just said.”
“Alrighty.” Zong Yanchen reached out his hand.
Mu Yuan’er responded, “Hold up.”
She went to get a bench and ced it between herself and Zong Yanchen. There was even a table in
the middle. Now, it seemed like an officialpetition.
“Alright, I’m done.” Mu Yuan’er settled down opposite Zong Yanchen. She held his hand. “We can start
now.”
Zong Yanchen’s face was filled with nonchnce. “If you manage to tilt my hand even by one degree,
you win.”
Mu Yuan’er arched one of her brows. “Tsk, don’t you dare look down on a woman. You shall pay the
price.”
Zong Yanchen only returned her a bleak smile.
When Mu Yuan’er started to push the man’s hand down, she realized that even though he seemed
feeble from his injury, he still had the strength of an ox. She could not make his hand budge even one
bit.
Mu Yuan’er furrowed her brows. She now thought that she was being too reckless, but it was toote to
back out now. Desperate to win, she stealthily added her other hand to her arsenal, as she realized
Zong Yanchen couldn’t see her cheating anyway.
Little did she know, Zong Yanchen could sense her other arm rising to the table. However, he continued
the wrestle without saying anything.
Even though she was using both of her hands, she could still not make Zong Yanchen’s arms move at
all.
“I’m ady. Please go easy on me.” Mu Yuan’er pouted.
“I’m not even using half of my strength. I don’t think I can go any lighter on you.” Zong Yanchen smiled
smugly. “Now that you lose, you have to grant me a wish.”
Mu Yuan’er epted her defeat in silence.
Only now that she realized she had been tricked.
“Ugh, I’m not ying with you anymore.” Mu Yuan’er let go of Zong Yanchen’s hand.
But before Mu Yuan’er’s hand could leave, Zong Yanchen tugged on it with all of his strength and
pulled her into his arms. The table in the center was knocked out of ce, and it made a sharp screech
against the floor.
“Ahh!”
Mu Yuan’er was taken aback by Zong Yanchen’s sudden action. By the time she came back to her
senses, she was already in Zong Yanchen’s embrace. “What are you trying to do?”
“I’m getting my reward for winning the game.” Zong Yanchen’s arms were wrapping around Mu
Yuan’er’s waist. His fingertips caressing her skin.
Mu Yuan’er’s heartbeat was racing. She found herself stammering, “W-what are you trying to do?”
Usually, Mu Yuan’er was quite an eloquent speaker, but now she was so bashful that even Zong
Yanchen could sense it.
Zong Yanchen thought that the girl in his arms must be very adorable with her face flushing.
He smiled. “Give me a kiss.”
Mu Yuan’er was speechless.
She lowered her voice. “Did you just tricked me?”
“How can I trick you? I’m blind,” Zong Yanchen denied. “A loser has to admit defeat.”
