Stealing Your Heart Chapter 1034


    In the end, Lin Xinyan gave in to Shen Xinyao’s request and went to visit her oldest son. When she


    arrived at the hospital, he seemed to have recovered somewhat. He was propped up in bed and


    chatting with Zhuang Zijin.


    Shen Xinyao suspected that there was more to the matter than met the eye. “Did Yanchen get into


    another argument with Aunt?”


    Lin Xinyan didn’t hide the truth from her. She told Shen Xinyao everything she knew.


    “Wow, how could Aunt do that?” Shen Xinyao felt that Chen Shihan’s actions were a little too


    reprehensible for her liking.


    They were living in modern times! Who cared about societal status anymore?


    Even the princes of the English monarchy frequently marriedmoners nowadays. Was there a need


    for her to care so much about the family background of her potential daughter-inw?


    Lin Xinyan patted herfortingly. “Just pretend that I never told you. It might make your brother feel


    uneasy.”


    Shen Xinyao nodded obediently. “Yes, I know.”


    That night, as Lin Xinyan prepared her son’s medicine, her heart couldn’t stop racing. It wasn’t that she


    distrusted Mu Yuan’er—however, she found it incredibly difficult to believe that taking herbal medicine


    would cure her son of his serious eye injury.

    She handed her son the bowl of medicine. “After the funeral, let’s go and have you checked up at the


    hospital.”


    Zong Yanchen knew what Lin Xinyan was worried about. He replied, “My eyes didn’t sustain just any


    injury—they were poisoned. Western medicine won’t do me any good.”


    Lin Xinyan felt rather shocked. “Poisoned, you say?”


    “Don’t worry, I’ll recover soon enough.” Zong Yanchen had been afraid that he was going to send her


    into hysterics. Looking at her agitated reaction, it appeared that his worst fear might actuallye true.


    “Do you think I would joke around when ites to my eyes?”


    She sighed deeply. “Can you take a longer break this time?”


    Zong Yanchen nodded. “Yes, I can. I haven’t taken a single vacation since I started work. The army


    gave me three months off.”


    She touched the bowl and ensured that the medicine wasn’t hot before cing it gingerly into her son’s


    hands. “Drink up.”


    Zong Yanchen tried to ease the tension in the room. Smiling, he said, “Mommy, you should feed me.”


    Lin Xinyan burst intoughter. “How old are you?”


    “No matter how old I am, I’ll always be your darling son.” After Zong Yanchen grew up, he had stopped


    acting cute to her as frequently as he once did. She fetched a spoon and took the bowl of medicine


    from him. As she fed him spoonful by spoonful, she asked, “Is the medicine very bitter?”


    Zong Yanchen nodded. “It’s much more bitter than normal medicines.”


    He meant it when he said that. It was indeed much more bitter than normal medicines. Hence, Mu


    Yuan’er always promised to give him a piece of candy in exchange for him finishing the entire bowl.


    “It’s supposed to cure your eyes. For the sake of your health, you’ll just have to endure it and drink the


    whole thing.”


    Although Zong Yanchen couldn’t see anything right now, he could hear an undercurrent of concern


    beneath Lin Xinyan’s stern words.


    After he finished the medicine, Lin Xinyan peeled a mandarin orange and handed it to him. “Here, wash


    the bitterness down with this.”


    Zong Yanchen took it and plopped a piece of orange into his mouth. Smiling, he said, “How sweet!”


    His mother stood in front of him. She wanted to ask him about Mu Yuan’er, but she held herself back in


    the end. Instead, she put some water into a pail for him to wash his feet.


    “Oh, just get Jiawen to do it.” Zong Yanchen felt a little embarrassed that his mother was still coddling


    him at his age.


    “I was the one who bathed you when you were a child—howe you feel embarrassed around me


    only now? Besides, why don’t you hurry up and find yourself a girlfriend? Jiawen is already married, for


    goodness’s sake. You should’ve set an example as his older brother.”


    Zong Yanchen was speechless.


    He went quiet again, afraid that his mother might continue to press him about this topic.


    Seeing her sonpse into silence again, Lin Xinyan sighed in her heart quietly.


    This kid was really good at keeping secrets from his own mother.


    However, she didn’t expose him.


    The funeral was the next day.


    It was a very tense and somber asion. All the male guests were attired in ck suits, while the


    women were d in conservative ck dresses.


    Throughout the entire afternoon, guests dropped in to pay respect. The wreaths they brought stretched


    along the entire road.


    As Cheng Yuwen’s closest rtives, Zong Jinghao and Lin Xinyan were responsible for receiving the


    guests. They stood at attention in the funeral hall the entire afternoon, epting condolences from an


    unending stream of people.


    At that moment, a man entered the hall in a wheelchair pushed by a woman.


    Although he was still very far away, Lin Xinyan recognized him instantly. It had been many years since


    theyst met, but she could still recognize him.
