Stealing Your Heart

Qin Ya shuffled her feet. “Um, I…”

“Did you hear us talking?” Su Zhan asked, his face darkening. He didn’t want anyone else to know about his past.

Qin Ya wanted to argue that she didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but Su Zhan’s face made her cower in fear. “What were y’all talking about? Did Grandma send me away just to talk about me?”

Su Zhan’s expression softened for a second. “Yeah. She told me to be nice to you. Also, where’s the food?”

“I left in a hurry, so I didn’t bring any money,” Qin Ya said, avoiding his gaze. She began to regret telling that lie.

However, to Su Zhan, it looked like she was just being embarrassed. He smiled and pulled out his wallet from his pocket. “Here.”

Qin Ya looked up at him. “Just give me a hundred and not the whole wallet.”

Su Zhan stuffed his wallet into her hand. “We’re husband and wife, everything of mine is yours too.”

Qin Ya looked at him, her fingers curling around the wallet.

Su Zhan laughed. “You’re moved by that? I haven’t even given you my fortune yet. You’re so easy to bribe.”

Qin Ya glared at him. “I’m going to buy food now.”

“Alright.”

Su Zhan watched her leave once more before going back into the room. His phone rang suddenly, and Shen Peichuan’s name was displayed on the screen. He answered the call, and before Shen Peichuan could say anything, he asked, “Is that bastard dead yet?”

“I don’t think he’ll die. He’s going through surgery now. How’s your grandmother?” Shen Peichuan asked. He probably called to ask about Su Zhan’s grandmother’s condition anyway.

Su Zhan pulled a chair over and sat down. “She’s fine. It’s just a few scratches. The doctor says that she can go home tomorrow.”

“Alright,” Shen Peichuan said, but didn’t hang up.

“Just say it. Why are you being so hesitant?”
