Stealing Your Heart Chapter 767

Qin Ya had to leave the house soon after returning as there was still an unwell Su Zhan to care for at the hospital.

She instructed the new maid to take care of Grandma Su, to which the young girl reassured her that she would.

Guan Jing, who was waiting outside, gave Qin Ya a ride to the hospital.

Shen Peichuan was present in the hospital when Qin Ya arrived. The man had just ended a hectic day at work; he had to settle a ton of workload alone due to Captain Song’s absence.

Realizing that Grandma Su had already been discharged by the time he arrived, Shen Peichuan made a detour to Su Zhan’s ward instead.

“Qin Ya has settled everything,” Su Zhan told him.

That eased his worries. “Not gonna put up an act anymore?”

Su Zhan let out a strained laugh. “If it continues, I may just lose everything.”

Shen Peichuan was confused. “Why? You’ve been discovered?”

“It’s not that… It’s just… “ Compunctious feelings of apprehension were gripping him.

“It’s just what?” came Qin Ya’s voice out of the blue as she opened the door.

Quick on his feet, Su Zhan switched the topic immediately. “Nothing much; I’m just asking how this man’s marriage life is going.”

Shen Peichuan rolled his eyes internally. Of all the topics you could have chosen from… Seriously?

That statement reminded Qin Ya of something. “Speaking of that – I haven’t been able to prepare a wedding gift in time. Everything was too sudden.”

“You can give it to us next time,” replied Shen Peichuan.

Seeing that Qin Ya was here, he reckoned it was time to take his leave. Rising from his seat, he said, “Since you’re back, I shall go now.”

“Looks like someone’s missing his wife and children at home. Ah, such is the blissful warmth of having a wholesome family,” Su Zhan teased.

Shen Peichuan entertained the idea of duct taping Su Zhan’s mouth for a moment. He scoffed, “I’ll have mercy on you today because Qin Ya is here today. Don’t push your luck.”

His comment made Su Zhan chuckle. “Because of Qin Ya? Shouldn’t you be more benevolent because I’m injured?”

“Don’t think too highly of yourself,” was Shen Peichuan’s final jibe before he left – not forgetting a brief greeting to Qin Ya in the process.

Qin Ya stood by Su Zhan’s side. “Are you feeling better?”

The man answered in the affirmative. Pulling her closer so that she sat on the bed, Su Zhan dotingly asked, “Are you feeling tired?”

Qin Ya shook her head. “No, not really.”

“You look very tired.”

Lethargy was obvious from her frazzled appearance. Tenderly stroking her palm, he continued, “Ya, let’s go get our marriage certificate tomorrow and return home.”

The said marriage certificate had been waiting at the registry since the wedding was held.

“Don’t think about that yet; you’re still injured.”

Su Zhan eased her concerns. “It’s fine. There’s no difference between recuperating at home and in the hospital. The only troubling aspect is my head injuries. I will need to be back here in a few days to remove the bandages. Other than that, I would very much love to escape from these 4 drab hospital walls.”

Qin Ya enquired if the doctor had approved it.

“I asked, and the doctor said that it’s fine.”

Since the idea had already been greenlighted by a medical professional, Qin Ya agreed. She was not one to protest anyway.

“Ya, you’re the best.” Planting a chaste kiss on her hand, Su Zhan lamented, “I should be taking care of you. But all this while, you’ve been the one who’s doing everything for me. I feel terrible.”
