Stealing Your Heart

Grandma Su was sleeping in her room. When Su Zhan wasn’t around, Chen Xue would take care of her. Upon hearing his question, Chen Xue told him everything about the fortune-teller and the ritual.

“The man said that Qin Ya should have to sleep in her room.”

Su Zhan knew how desperately his grandma had wanted a great-grandson, but he had no idea that she would resort to something this superstitious.

He went to the bedroom that he had shared with Qin Ya. Upon pushing the door open, he saw an incense burner table with a Guanyin deity on it. The incense was still burning, so the whole room reeked of smoke.

He couldn’t believe his eyes. If Qin Ya were here, she would have erupted in fury.

He himself was about to go crazy any minute!

Fortunately, I didn’t bring Qin Ya back. Su Zhan began to mull to himself. Hurriedly, he took his luggage out and packed their clothes.

After packing up, he was about to leave when Grandma Su woke up. She saw his luggage and questioned, “Where are you going? Where is Qin Ya? She’s supposed to come home today, right?”

“I sent her to C City. We have some business there—”

“Nothing is more important than getting pregnant. There was an evil spirit in our house, so the first failed attempt wasn’t her fault. I’d invited someone over to chase the evil spirit out, so the next attempt will succeed for sure. Hurry, bring her back.”

“Grandma, she’s a living being. You can’t think of her as a reproductive tool—”

“What are you talking about? She’s your wife! She should give birth to your child!” Grandma Su demanded. “Hurry, bring her back home!”

“I can’t do that. She’s no longer here.”

Grandma Su punched him angrily. “Hurry, bring her back home!”
