Stealing Your Heart

Taking in the enraged look on Shen Peichuan’s face, Su Zhan hurriedly hid behind Lin Xinyan. “I’m telling the truth! You’re just in denial. I’m certain that Sang Yu has feelings for you. Why else would she have been so worried when you were in trouble last time? Truthfully, age really isn’t a problem. Look at Xinyan and Jinghao! There’s an eight-year gap between them but that isn’t affecting their relationship at all!”

Lin Xinyan twisted her head to eye Su Zhan. “Hey, pick on Peichuan all you want but don’t drag us into this!”

She hated it when people brought up the past.

After all, she really was relatively young back then. She had only been eighteen years old- still in university- when she had married Zong Jinghao.

Shen Peichuan sniped, “Hasn’t he always been as such? A leopard can’t change its spots.”

Su Zhan glared at the other man, growling, “Stop bullying me whenever you get the chance to. I might not be able to win in a fight against you but I’m smart enough to get backups!”

Lin Xinyan smacked Su Zhan’s shoulder and reminded him, “Keep it down! Qin Ya might be able to hear everything from inside the house, you know.”

She wondered if he would still act like that if he knew what Qin Ya had said earlier.

The mention of Qin Ya instantly silenced Su Zhan.

“Oh, so there’s still someone who you’re afraid of?” Shen Peichuan teased.

“Get lost!” Su Zhan plonked himself down on the couch, refusing to talk anymore.

Lin Xinyan, who had gone off somewhere, returned with two bottles of wine. “Time to eat.”

Placing the bottles down on the table, she headed for Qin Ya’s room. She helped the other woman to dress and clean herself before guiding her out of the room. Qin Ya was walking on the balls of her feet to prevent her injuries from touching the floor. With Lin Xinyan’s support, she arrived at the living room. Su Zhan instantly stood up to help Nonetheless, when Qin Ya did not even shoot a glance at him, he stopped himself. He did not want her to find him annoying.

Lin Xinyan brought Qin Ya over to the dining table. Zong Yanchen ran over and thoughtfully pulled out a chair for her. “Aunt Qin, be careful!”

Smiling, Qin Ya rubbed the little boy’s head affectionately. “You’re so sweet! You’re definitely going to attract a lot of girls to you when you’re older.”

Zong Yanchen waved his hands around as he protested, “One is more than enough! Women are so troublesome. I’m scared of what might happen if I get more than one.”

Amused laughter greeted his words. Lin Xinyan pinched her son’s cheek as she uttered fondly, “You and your nonsense.”

“No, it’s the truth!” Feeling aggrieved, he muttered to himself, “You and Daddy are always squabbling with each other. It takes days for you two to get on good terms again.”

“What was that?” Lin Xinyan had not heard him clearly as his voice had been too soft.
