Stealing Your Heart Chapter 717

Su Zhan closed his eyes and suppressed his frustration. “Grandma, can we change the subject?”

Grandma Su was displeased. “Why should I change the subject? This is the only wish I have for the rest of my life. When exactly can you fulfill it?”

Slouching over Grandma Su’s lap, Su Zhan said nothing.

He also wanted to tell her that he and Qin Ya had started afresh, but then the latter’s health was…

Grandma Su would surely keep urging Qin Ya to have a baby, which would definitely put a lot of stress on Qin Ya.

It took him a lot of effort and time to finally get back together with Qin Ya. He did not know what he would do if she was scared away by Grandma Su’s insistence on having a great-grandchild.

Meanwhile, Grandma Su was annoyed at Su Zhan’s silence, so she reached out and patted him on the back. “Say something. Are you trying to piss me off?”

Su Zhan buried his face in the blanket and said dully, “Grandma, I’m begging you. Your responsibility is to have a grandson, and you’ve done that. As for the great-grandchild, it’s my business and it has nothing to do with you anymore, so can you stop worrying about it?”

Grandma Su pulled a long face. “What do you mean by that?”

Su Zhan pretended not to hear her and did not look up. Hence, Grandma Su grabbed his hair and insisted, “Explain to me clearly.”

“Ouch, it hurts.” Su Zhan grimaced in pain. “You really don’t go easy on me, do you? Am I still your grandson?”

“What do you think? If you’re not my grandson, I would’ve long abandoned you. Tell me, what exactly do you mean?” Grandma Su just would not let go.

Su Zhan bitterly said, “With whom do you want me to have a baby?”

“If Qin Ya really won’t get back with you, you have no choice but to look for another woman.” Grandma Su felt sorry for Qin Ya, but she couldn’t allow Su Zhan to be the last of the Su lineage.

As an elderly, she was old-fashioned. She lived to watch Su Zhan get married and have children; otherwise, she would be ashamed to face her husband in heaven.

Su Zhan took Grandma Su’s hand and said, “Grandma, I only like Qin Ya, so I don’t want any other woman…”

“Are you planning on not getting married for the rest of your life if she doesn’t forgive you?” Grandma Su glared at him in anger. Once Su Zhan answered her with a “yes”, she would beat him up until he was willing to get married.

“As long as I work hard, I can still win back Qin Ya’s heart. Grandma, you have to give me some time and stop forcing me.”

“I want to give you some time, too, but God isn’t giving me enough time. How much longer can I live?” Grandma Su knew that she was old and was even paralyzed now, so her days were numbered.

“Su Zhan, I don’t have any other expectations for you. You’re not young anymore, but you don’t even have a family. How can you stand on your own two feet?” Grandma Su said earnestly, “Anyway, you must let me see my great-grandchild while I’m still alive.”

Su Zhan felt like he was going mad. When he heard Grandma Su talking about great-grandchildren, no words could describe his feeling.

Agony?

Agony could not describe his mood at the moment.

“The doctor asked you to rest more. You need to listen and rest well. Only with good health can you see me get married and have children, okay?”

Grandma Su was indeed getting old, so her health was not as good as it had been.

While Su Zhan was keeping her company, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated. Standing up quietly, he walked out of the ward and took out the phone. Seeing Qin Ya’s number on the screen, he accepted the call and brought the phone to his ear. “Hello, Ya.”

Qin Ya had just finished her work so she called to ask about the condition of Grandma Su as she was worried about her.

“She’s okay. Don’t worry. She’s now in the hospital, and the doctor said that she’s fine.” Su Zhan stood by the window, looking outside. “Ya.”

“Yes?”

Su Zhan had a lot to say to her, yet he couldn’t utter a single word.

Qin Ya could seemingly feel his dark mood, so she did not probe him nor hang up the phone. She simply listened to the sound of his breathing through the phone.

After a while, Su Zhan asked, “Are you busy?”

“I just saw a customer out.” Qin Ya sat down at the desk and asked, “Are you okay?”

“I just miss you,” replied Su Zhan.

Qin Ya picked at the corner of the table with downcast eyes. “Su Zhan, when can you be serious?”

“Am I not serious?” Su Zhan asked.

“What do you think?”

“Will I only be considered serious by hiding the fact that I miss you?” Su Zhan was upset. “That’s called pretentious. I’m a gentleman who says whatever is on my mind. I’m an honest man, Ya.”

“Get lost!”
