Stealing Your Heart

Qin Ya had to leave the house soon after returning as there was still an unwell Su Zhan to care for at the hospital.

She instructed the new maid to take care of Grandma Su, to which the young girl reassured her that she would.

Guan Jing, who was waiting outside, gave Qin Ya a ride to the hospital.

Shen Peichuan was present in the hospital when Qin Ya arrived. The man had just ended a hectic day at work; he had to settle a ton of workload alone due to Captain Song’s absence.

Realizing that Grandma Su had already been discharged by the time he arrived, Shen Peichuan made a detour to Su Zhan’s ward instead.

“Qin Ya has settled everything,” Su Zhan told him.

That eased his worries. “Not gonna put up an act anymore?”

Su Zhan let out a strained laugh. “If it continues, I may just lose everything.”

Shen Peichuan was confused. “Why? You’ve been discovered?”

“It’s not that… It’s just… “ Compunctious feelings of apprehension were gripping him.

“It’s just what?” came Qin Ya’s voice out of the blue as she opened the door.

Quick on his feet, Su Zhan switched the topic immediately. “Nothing much; I’m just asking how this man’s marriage life is going.”

Shen Peichuan rolled his eyes internally. Of all the topics you could have chosen from… Seriously?

That statement reminded Qin Ya of something. “Speaking of that – I haven’t been able to prepare a wedding gift in time. Everything was too sudden.”

“You can give it to us next time,” replied Shen Peichuan.

Seeing that Qin Ya was here, he reckoned it was time to take his leave. Rising from his seat, he said, “Since you’re back, I shall go now.”

“Looks like someone’s missing his wife and children at home. Ah, such is the blissful warmth of having a wholesome family,” Su Zhan teased.
