Stealing Your Heart

Lin Xinyan said nothing.

It was because she did not know how to tell him, or how to relate the message to him.

“Xinyan, if you have something to say, you can just tell me. The more you hesitate, the more unsettled I will be,” Su Zhan was fidgeting uncomfortably in his seat, getting more and more nervous by the second..

If it were going to be something good, Lin Xinyan would definitely not look so conflicted.

Therefore, there was only one answer. And it could only be something bad.

Lin Xinyan looked at him. “Everything that Ya does, she has her own reasons. You shouldn’t…”

As she was speaking, Su Zhan’s gaze wandered off and was staring out of the glass window. Following his gaze, Lin Xinyan saw the scene outside where Qin Ya was getting out of a car while holding onto Shao Yun’s arm.

Lin Xinyan sighed. She still acts like that, even though I have asked her not to.

“Xinyan.” Su Zhan’s gaze turned back towards her and bitterly said, “The thing you have a hard time trying to tell me… Is that she actually has found another lover?”

Lin Xinyan tried to console him, “Please calm down.”

Su Zhan smiled bitterly and leaned back on his chair, “So she found herself an old man to spitefully show off to me?”

“I’m not trying to rub salt on your wound. I just don’t want you to cling unto me and pester me anymore,” a testy reply suddenly came out from nowhere.

While Su Zhan was talking, Qin Ya and Shao Yun had walked in together and overheard him, thus resulting in the interjection.

Su Zhan stared at her for two seconds before suddenly getting up and grabbing her wrist, “I have something to tell you.”

“If you have anything to say, you can just say it here.” Qin Ya tried to free her hand.

Su Zhan’s eyes were bloodshot red, and despite her struggle, he managed to pull her away stubbornly.

Struggling with all her might, Qin Ya could not break free of Su Zhan’s iron grip. After all, the strength of a man was way beyond a woman’s. Thus she was led, albeit dragged, all the way to the street outside the restaurant.

“Su Zhan, let go of me this instant!” Qin Ya raised her voice, tinged with a faint sign of anger.

Su Zhan pushed her against the wall in the alley. “Speak now! What are you trying to do?” he demanded.

“Just like what you saw earlier,” Qin Ya replied, staring back at him indignantly.
