Stealing Your Heart

“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Sang Yu asked Shen Peichuan, who was clearly deep in thought.

“Nothing. I just thought of something,” Shen Peichuan quickly answered.

Sang Yu did not pursue the matter. She smiled faintly.

She had bought groceries that day. Now that Shen Peichuan’s friend had come to visit, Sang Yu planned to cook a few more dishes for him.

Shen Peichuan was used to a solitary lifestyle. He rarely cooked for himself and his diet consisted mainly of instant noodles. With limited cooking experience, he could only help Sang Yu wash the ingredients while she handled the rest.

It was a scorching day so Su Zhan did not walk far. He circled the area before finally stopping at the school. Seeing the children’s innocent faces, he was reminded of the sorrowful fact that he and Qin Ya would never be able to have children of their own.

It was a regret both of them would carry for the rest of their lives.

Children are supposedly the proof of their parents’ love for each other. Without children, does it mean that our love merely flowered without bearing fruit?

When he was with Qin Ya, he fought to keep his love for children under wraps because he was terrified of breaking her heart even further.

She’s even more crushed than I am, for not being able to have children.

His eyes clouded over and he took out his phone to text Qin Ya: Ya, I miss you terribly.

Su Zhan was speaking from his heart.

C City.

Shao Yun brought Qin Ya to a fancy restaurant for lunch. “You should come here with Su Zhan. It’s a pity that he doesn’t know C City well and can’t take you to the good restaurants, unlike me. This place has amazing lamb chops. I guarantee it’ll have you hankering for a second helping,” he said, beaming.

Qin Ya smiled back at him. “Uncle, you should find yourself a girlfriend. It must be lonely having to go through life by yourself.”

“I feel much more carefree being on my own. I can be with whichever woman I fancy at the moment. If I were exclusive with someone, she would be trying to control my life every day, and I’ll eventually be driven mad.” Shao Yun was used to his way of life. He was a man with needs as well as the financial means to get any woman he desired.

This way, I won’t be bringing any burden upon myself. I also won’t run the risk of letting anyone down or betraying their trust.
