Stealing Your Heart

When she heard the familiar voice, she rubbed her eyes and took a look at the time. It was 3 a.m.

“Ms. Lin…”

“Did I wake you up?” Lin Xinyan queried.

Qin Ya grunted a yes and asked, “What’s wrong? Why did you call so late at night?”

Lin Xinyan straightened out her thoughts and began, “Su Zhan had dinner at the hospital with us. Shen Peichuan and Sang Yu got their marriage registered, and we were all happy, so we drank a bit to celebrate the occasion. However, he didn’t call a valet…”

“Did he get into an accident?” Qin Ya suddenly became alert. “How is he?”

“I’m not sure myself. It seems rather serious. Jinghao and Peichuan have already headed over, but I didn’t go because of my physical condition. You should go and have a look as well. Grandma Su is his only living relative and she’s getting on her years.”

“Alright,” Qin Ya agreed without hesitation.

“There’s no need to rush. The rest of them are there if anything happens,” Lin Xinyan instructed. She was worried that something might happen to Qin Ya if she was too anxious.

Qin Ya gave her acknowledgement and hung up.

After that, Lin Xinyan did not manage to sleep well.

She was worried that something might happen to Su Zhan.

Soon, Zhuang Zijin arrived. Lin Xinyan told her to get some rest, but she shook her head. “I can’t sleep now that I’ve woken up. I’ll keep you company.”

Zhuang Zijin kept talking to her to distract her from the accident.

“Yanxi has gotten a lot more mature now and loves learning. Her grades have improved quite a bit.”

Lin Xinyan nodded. “She’s grown.”

“That’s right. It felt like just yesterday when they were newborns. Now, they’re all grown up and you’re already at your third kid,” Zhuang Zijin lamented the passing of time.

Lin Xinyan smiled. Time flies indeed. The old me would never have imagined to end up like this someday, with a handsome and rich husband and my children.

As they chatted late into the night, Zhuang Zijin eventually fell asleep by Lin Xinyan’s bed. Lin Xinyan covered a blanket over her, worried that she would catch a cold from the air-conditioning.

Qin Ya booked the earliest flight over and Shao Yun sent her off. “What happened? It’s so early in the morning and you didn’t even bother to have breakfast!”

Qin Ya did not bring much and only had a bag with her. She explained, “Su Zhan got into a car accident.”

Shao Yun nodded, “I see. Have you thought that he might have been trying to play the sympathy card?”

Qin Ya shook her head. “I don’t think so. Ms. Lin was the one who called, and she called in the dead of night. I can tell that she’s worried as well. She’s not lying.”
