Stealing Your Heart Chapter 609

Qin Ya didn’t return his gaze, calmly resting her head on her hand. “I’m not familiar with him.”

That was her way of making it clear that she didn’t want anything to do with him.

Su Zhan felt a sense of bitterness in his heart, but he remained smiling. “Are we familiar strangers then?”

Qin Ya smiled too. “Are we familiar with each other? Why don’t I remember?”

Su Zhan couldn’t match Qin Ya’s coldness. Pursing his lips, he sat down. “If hurting me can make you happy, feel free to hurt me then.”

“You’re not worth me hurting you. You don’t mean anything to me. I don’t care about you. I don’t hate you. I simply dislike you.”

As she spoke, Qin Ya balled up her hand under the table and squeezed it tightly, digging her nails in her palm in an attempt to force herself to maintain calm.

She actually really wanted to slap him.

When Lin Xinyan was going to take the milk, she happened to take note of this small action. Even though she didn’t say anything, it was evident from Qin Ya’s actions that the woman wasn’t as calm as she claimed to be.

If Qin Ya really doesn’t care about Su Zhan, she wouldn’t need to control herself.

What on earth is she hiding? If she has really given up on him, then why is there a need to hurt him?

Sighing, Lin Xinyan pretended that she didn’t see anything and just poured the milk. When she reached for Su Zhan’s glass, she asked, “How’s Grandma doing?”

She wanted to change the topic to ease the tension.

“She needs someone to care for her.” The elderly woman couldn’t take care of herself – she wasn’t even able to talk now.

Lin Xinyan nodded. “Take good care of her.”

Su Zhan nodded. “I will. She’s my only family left. So, of course I will take good care of her.”

Zong Jinghao walked in and pulled out a chair. He glanced at Su Zhan but didn’t say anything.

Su Zhan smiled. “I’ll look for Peichuan next time. I won’t disturb you anymore.”

Zong Jinghao picked up the glass of milk that Lin Xinyan had poured him and looked at his friend. The man seemed to have deliberately chosen to come here.

Undoubtedly, it was because of Qin Ya.

Zong Jinghao didn’t expose Su Zhan’s intentions and asked, “Did you get drunk yesterday?”

Su Zhan paused. He had drunk a lot, but his mind had still been clear. Indeed, he had intentionally asked the bar staff to call Zong Jinghao’s mobile phone.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so coincidental either. There were so many contacts on his phone. What were the odds that the staff called was Zong Jinghao?

“Could I have faked it?” Su Zhan refused to admit the truth.

Zong Jinghao glanced at him meaningfully. “Well, only you know the truth.” He didn’t ask any further. Reaching his hand out, he picked up an egg, then peeled it and handed it to his daughter. “Do you want to learn how to draw?”

Zong Yanxi immediately nodded. “Yes.”

She was really interested in drawing. Seeing her life-like drawings, she felt very accomplished.

“Shall we go to an arts school today?”

“Do you mean that?” Zong Yanxi asked in disbelief.

Of course, she would agree. She was so delighted that her busy father actually had time to bring her out.

“Of course.” Zong Jinghao had already called Guan Jing, informing him that he wouldn’t be going to the office today and not to contact him if there wasn’t anything important.
