Stealing Your Heart

Chapter 1045

Brimming with tears, Zhuang Zijin’s eyes flickered. She fell silent and had a melancholic look because she couldn’t figure out what their relationship was.

“To be honest, I’m not sure.”

Nevertheless, she had always enjoyed being by Cheng Yuwen’s side. She felt a sense of serenity whenever she was by his side. Although he was never a thoughtful and detail-oriented man, he had always been the man she could rely on. Thus, she felt a sense of security wherever he was around her.

“Yanxi, do you believe in reincarnation?” Zhuang Zijin asked in return.

She had never believed in reincarnation, but she had since changed her mind and hoped reincarnation wasn’t merely a myth.

“If reincarnation is real, I hope I would meet him earlier in my upcoming life. I want to be with him when he’s in his prime in life. I hope we get to start our family and spend the rest of our life together,” Zhuang Zijin denoted in a husky voice as she could barely suppress her emotions.

Finally, Zong Yanxi figured out the sort of feeling they had for one another. They were both family and lovers, but the affection they had for one another as a couple had only flourished late in life.

Does one really gets to live their life with no regrets?

The young woman thought to herself and held her grandmother’s hand as she asserted, “I have come across a particular quote on the internet. Your spouse in this current life is the one who had spent the entire life by your side in the previous life. Since you have been by Great-uncle’s side until the end of his life, don’t you think he’ll return the favor and take good care of you as your spouse in the future?” This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

She gave it a thought and turned the words of her granddaughter over in her mind. In the end, she finally linked the missing pieces of puzzles together and figured out the meaning behind her words.

“Yanxi, you’re not supposed to tease your grandmother!”

They spent the upcoming three days in the manor, but when they were about to leave on the fourth day, they came across Bai Yinning.

“Are you the one who has been managing this place?” Zong Yanxi asked her so-called uncle because the entire place was in great condition when they arrived.

Although there was no sign of anyone living in the manor, it was evident someone had been dropping by to clean the place and maintain it.

Since Bai Yinning lived nearby and was acquainted with the Cheng family, he was the only person Zong Yanxi could think of.

He didn’t bother to keep them in the dark either. Instead, he asked curiously as he was confused about their presence. “It’s me. What are you guys doing here?”

“We have dropped by for a visit.”

The man nodded in return and noticed she must have had brought her grandmother there because she wished to pay one last visit to the place that held so many memories of hers. It might have been one of the many things on her bucket list.

“How long is your stay going to be?”

“Actually, we’re about to leave because we have been here since a few days ago.”

“I have just made my way back from C City. If I’m aware of your presence, I’d definitely make my way back earlier.”

After he finished his sentence, he noticed the young woman had brought along suitcases with her. “Are you guys leaving now?”

“Yes.”

“I’ll give you a ride then,” Bai Yinning offered and proceeded to summon his chauffeur.

Zong Yanxi pointed at the car that was parked in front of the manor and said, “That won’t be necessary because I have rented a car.”

The manor of the Cheng family was located in the outskirts. Since they were merely there for a few days, they didn’t want to go through the hassle of preparing their own meals. Thus, Zong Yanxi had rented a car, so they could eat out.

“Why don’t you leave the car behind? I’ll give you a ride to the airport and return the rented car on your behalf.”

He insisted because he wanted to do something for them. Otherwise, he would feel bad for not being helpful.

After all, Zong Yanxi was Lin Xinyan’s daughter. He felt inclined to be helpful since they were in his territory.

She gave it a thought for a few seconds. In the end, she agreed and expressed her gratitude. “If that’s the case, thank you.”

Initially, she wanted to return the rented car, then hail a cab to the airport, but since Bai Yinning had offered to do her a favor, she wouldn’t have to go through the hassle anymore.

Since they had reached an agreement, they boarded the man’s car.

“Are you going back to C City?” Bai Yinning asked as they made their way to the airport.

“Nope.”

“Are you guys heading over to B City?”

Zong Yanxi nodded and affirmed the man of his thought.

“Okay. If there’s anything you need, feel free to reach out to me.” He decided not to poke his nose into her business because he was aware it was regarding Jiang Mohan.

Nevertheless, he couldn’t resist the urge and reminded her, “A man who loves you wholeheartedly will never hurt you, but a man who doesn’t love you have a thousand excuses to justify their actions.”
