Stealing Your Heart Chapter 296

Su Zhan froze as he slowly stepped back. He did not know why he had not dared to come clean to Qin Ya about meeting Liu Feifei.

He lied, almost out of reflex, “I forgot because I was meeting a customer.”

Qin Ya was waiting for him to come clean, but what she had received was a lie.

Her heart sank violently. She panicked because she did not know what to do with her relationship with Su Zhan now.

She stood up and walked to the cabinet to get some clothes. Su Zhan then hugged her from behind and asked, “What happened? You don’t seem like yourself today.”

Qin Ya broke free and declared, “I’m sleeping in the guest room.”

Su Zhan tugged onto her, “What are you doing?”

Su Zhan’s grandmother knew that she had something to worry about once she heard that they were sleeping separately right after they had gotten married.

“I’m very tired today.” Qin Ya’s voice quavered.

She felt that she was wronged.

Su Zhan heart clenched as he reached out and held her face. She did not want to cry, but she could not help it. The pressure and indignance that she felt had festered, and she could not hold it back anymore.

Su Zhan panicked when he saw that Qin Ya was crying. He wiped her tears away and asked, “What happened? Did someone do something to you at the store? Did a customer give you attitude?”

Qin Ya sobbed even more uncontrollably.

“Don’t cry. I feel so anxious when you cry. If you feel aggrieved, just quit the job. I’ll take care of you.” Su Zhan wiped away her tears.

Qin Ya looked down, “You don’t have to take care of me. I can take care of myself. I just thought of something very sad, so I couldn’t help but…”

Su Zhan took her into his embrace and consoled her, “Don’t think about it anymore.”

“Would you ever lie to me?” Qin Ya asked.

Su Zhan tensed up immediately. He then recovered instantly and replied, “No.”

Qin Ya inhaled deeply and proclaimed, “I give myself two chances.”

What she meant was she would give Su Zhan two chances as well. If there was a next time, she would divorce him.

This was the respect that she had given to their marriage.

“Why do you give yourself two chances?” Su Zhan was puzzled.

“Nothing.” She broke free from his embrace.

“I want to be alone. I’ll sleep in the guest room.”

Su Zhan tugged onto her, “If Grandma saw you going to the guest room, she would definitely be worried about us because she would think that something happened to our relationship. How about this. I won’t touch you tonight because you’re in a sour mood. Can’t you stay?”

Qin Ya did not compromise. She did not want to see Su Zhan, because all she could think of was Liu Feifei when she saw him.

“How about this. I’ll sleep on the floor tonight, and you’ll sleep on the bed. Please stay?” Su Zhan murmured.

“Grandma is so old now, so I don’t want her to worry about me.” Su Zhan’s voice was even softer now.

Qin Ya turned around and looked at him. All he’s talking about is his grandmother’s worries. Does he not want me to stay instead?

She smiled bitterly, “Alright.”

Since she had decided to give him another chance, she needed to bear this pain.

I was too soft back then when I’d agreed to marry him. Now, I’m reaping the rotten fruits that I’ve sowed.

She took her clothes and went to the bathroom.

Su Zhan noticed that something was amiss, but he could not pinpoint what had exactly gone wrong. He suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as he scrolled through his call history on his phone. She never called me. That means she couldn’t have found out that I met Liu Feifei today.

But her mood was so foul today. Is it really because we met Liu Feifei today?

Is she still worried about that?

Su Zhan was panicking severely because Qin Ya was like that, so he had decided to call Lin Xinyan to ask if Qin Ya’s mood was foul when they were in their store today.

Lin Xinyan did go to the store today. She had gone away for so long, so she needed to check on the store when she came back.

While Lin Xinyan was not around, Ellen accepted a few orders, and some of them were placed because of Lin Xinyan’s reputation. But because Lin Xinyan was not present, Ellen could not convince the customers to stay.

Lin Xinyan stayed in the store for the whole day because she had wanted to calm herself down after the Zhuang Zijin incident. Besides that, she needed to think of a way to improve their business, so that Ellen, Qin Ya, and the employees’ salaries can be raised.

Besides that, capital was required to keep the store afloat.
