Stealing Your Heart Chapter 657

Qin Ya appeared somewhat distracted and listless because she was worried about Su Zhan, who was not seen at the wedding ceremony.

Sitting next to Qin Ya, who was not uttering a word, Lin Xinyan could tell that she was in low spirits.

“It must be a tiring day for you.” Lin Xinyan poured her a glass of water.

Qin Ya took a sip of water before answering, “I’m fine. By the way, I notice that Su Zhan isn’t here tonight. Did anything happen to him?”

At last, she couldn’t resist but ask about Su Zhan’s whereabouts.

It was obvious to Lin Xinyan that Qin Ya had yet to move on from Su Zhan.

Pouring herself a glass of water too, Lin Xinyan swirled it as she asked, “Why’re you asking me that? Is it because you still care about him?”

“I am not,” Qin Ya denied it right away before she clarified, “Is it normal for him to be absent at your wedding ceremony with Zong Jinghao?”

Lin Xinyan did not answer her right away. Instead, she took two sips of water first before slowly speaking, “He’s been here all the time; he just didn’t show up in front of the guests.”

“Why?” Qin Ya pressed on.

Lin Xinyan put down the glass of water and stared at Qin Ya without responding to her. She was sure Qin Ya cared about Su Zhan a lot, judging from how eager she was to find out what happened to him. She blurted that question out of her instinct and there was no way she could fake it.

Soon, it dawned upon Qin Ya that her reaction had sold herself. She tried to justify but failed to come up with a valid reason. All at once, she appeared flustered and restless.

Lin Xinyan cast a glance at the door and checked the time on her watch. I suppose Zong Jinghao has tricked Su Zhan into coming here already?

With that thought in mind, she decided to get straight to the point. “Ya, it’s very obvious you care about Su Zhan.”

“I don’t.” This time, there was a diffidence in Qin Ya’s soft voice.

At first, she tried to hold back the urge to ask about Su Zhan so as not to reveal her feelings. However, her effort was in vain now that Lin Xinyan already saw her through.

Instead of probing her for answers, Lin Xinyan gave her time to sort out her thoughts.

Meanwhile, Shen Peichuan was meeting Zong Jinghao in the room next door. Shen Peichuan had found out the sender of the gift Lin Xin received before the ceremony. However, he did not share the information with her because it was sent by someone from the Gu family. In order not to make Lin Xinyan worry, he lied to her and decided to tell Zong Jinghao about it after the wedding ceremony.

Seeing Su Zhan standing at the door to the lounge where Lin Xinyan was resting, Shen Peichuan asked, “Su Zhan’s been avoiding people the whole night. How come he’s standing outside the lounge now? Why doesn’t he just enter the room?”

Zong Jinghao, who was sitting with his back leaning on the sofa, adjusted the collar of his shirt as he responded, “That’s part of my plan.”

Zong Jinghao told Su Zhan to meet him at the lounge as he had something to tell him. When Su Zhan reached the lounge, it naturally followed that he would catch the conversation between Lin Xinyan and Qin Ya.
