Stealing Your Heart Chapter 302

Abruptly, Qin Ya heard the door to the house opening. Next, she heard the maid and Grandma Su’s voices, as the two entered the house while discussing something. From the joyful tone, she could tell that the old woman was in high spirits.

Since this was a private matter between her and Su Zhan, she did not want to let the older woman know of her problems. With her advanced age, she would probably be unable to accept this.

She was not doing this for Su Zhan, but rather, for the old woman, who had always been very kind to her.

Pulling her room door open, she saw the maid providing Grandma Su some assistance, in removing her jacket.

“Oh, you’re home?” The old woman was visibly surprised to see Qin Ya. Soon after, a wide smile crossed her face. “Come, come, take a seat! I have good news!”

Obediently, Qin Ya took a seat on the couch. The old woman immediately clasped her hand in both of hers.

“What has gotten you so happy, Grandma?” The younger woman tried her best, to hide her despondent emotions, not wanting to reveal anything before the elder.

While they had not been around each other for long, the older woman’s kindness and friendliness had touched her deeply.

No matter what had happened between her and Su Zhan, she did not wish to hurt the old woman.

“I met this fortuneteller today. He said that my fortune is smiling down upon me and that something very good will happen!” Many old people were deeply superstitious and believed in the art of fortunetelling.

Qin Ya twitched her lips into a small smile and questioned, “You believe him?”

In response, the old woman’s eyes widened earnestly. “I didn’t even tell him that I had a grandson, yet, he instantly knew just from looking at my face! He told me that I had a grandson who’d recently got married and that I should expect to have a great-grandchild next year! How could I not believe him?”

Beside them, the maid added, “Old Madam Su was so ecstatic she immediately gave him a huge red packet!”

The smile on Qin Ya’s face faltered.

The old woman tightened her hold on Qin Ya’s hand and leaned over. “Ya, whether I get a great-grandchild is up to you now.”

Her gaze slowly drifted to Qin Ya’s abdomen. “Who knows? Maybe it’s already living inside there.”

Qin Ya could not find it in herself to laugh, or say anything, that would make the old woman happy. Once Su Zhan returned home, they would part their ways amicably. What Grandma Su hoped would happen would never become a reality.

To repay the old woman for her kindness, Qin Ya got up and suggested, “Let me make some dinner for you.”

This would be the first and last time that I’ll personally cook for her.

“No, no! You don’t have to do this. You should rest.” The elderly woman tugged on her hand, insisting that she need not do such a thing. “Where’s Su Zhan? Is he still busy with work? New Year is coming so he should be spending more time with you!”

“I think that he’s still busy,” Qin Ya managed to reply indifferently.

“That little brat must be itching for a good spanking! How could he place work before spending time with his family? Just you wait; I’ll give him a beating when he comes back!” If he doesn’t come home, how am I supposed to have a great-grandchild? It takes two to create a child, after all.

The skies slowly darkened, as the night approached. Still, there was no sign of Su Zhan.

Qin Ya ignored Grandma Su’s protests, as she was intent on personally cooking for her.

She might not have possessed amazing cooking skills, but it was the thought that mattered.

Under the guidance of the maid, she was able to whip up several meals, of the old woman’s favorite dishes.

In the end, she made radish stew with pork ribs, crispy-skinned tofu, garlic stir-fried shrimps and boiled yam.

After setting the table, she washed her hands and called Grandma Su for dinner.

Understandably, the old woman was still delighted, over what she had heard earlier.

Hence, she did not sense anything strange with Qin Ya at all. Instead, she was soon distracted by the fact that this was the first time the younger woman had cooked for her.

Inwardly, she was praising her grandson’s choice for a spouse.
