Stealing Your Heart

They decided to return to B City the next day, since both Su Zhan’s grandmother and He Ruize were fine.

The trip had been smooth and free of incidents.

The new year was coming soon, and they don’t have much time left to prepare for it.

Shen Peichuan volunteered to share a ride with He Ruize, and they trailed behind the group. Su Zhan and Qin Ya took the same car as Su Zhan’s grandmother, while Zong Jinghao and his family took the RV.

The scenery outside was rather underwhelming. There was no liveliness of spring, no warmth of summer, nor the calmness of autumn; all that was left was the chilling wind.

Everyone remained silent throughout. They travelled half the distance in just half a day, which was much faster than when they came.

They got off their vehicles at the rest stop to eat.

The year was ending, and the rest stop was crowded with all sorts of people and vehicles.

Lin Ruixi needed the bathroom and Lin Xinyan took her there, while Zong Jinghao took Lin Xichen to the restaurant with Su Zhan, Qin Ya and Su Zhan’s grandmother trailing behind them.

He Ruize had woken up, and someone had to watch him at all times so that he wouldn’t attempt to kill himself or run away.

Shen Peichuan assigned some bodyguards to watch over He Ruize so that he could take a toilet break and go into the restaurant. Su Zhan’s grandmother looked healthy, most probably due to happiness from seeing Su Zhan and Qin Ya as a couple.

Now that Su Zhan had gotten married, her last worry had been vanquished.

“Grandma, you’re getting younger,” Shen Peichuan said, sitting down.

“You’re so good at making me happy,” the old lady chided, though she wore a smile on her face.

“I’m just telling the truth,” Shen Peichuan said, earning a hearty laugh from the old lady.

The food at the rest stop was rather lackluster. Shen Peichuan stuffed a mouthful of food into his mouth and said, “Let’s just eat this to keep us going. We can have a feast when we get back to B City.”

Su Zhan stood up. “I’m going to get something. Qin Ya, can you take care of Grandma for me?”

Qin Ya nodded.

“Uncle Su Zhan, I saw a stall that sells jackfruit just now. Can you buy some on your way back,” Lin Xichen asked.

Su Zhan turned around to look at him. “You like it?”
