Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 850

Shen Peichuan’s lips curled into a smile.

A glance at his expression told Su Zhan the other man must have experienced something good. “No wonder you’re buying us dinner. It looks like you’ve got something to show off.”

Shen Peichuan glanced at him. “I’m not as much as a show-off as you.”

“What can I possibly show off?” Su Zhan flashed him a quick smile. Although life had not been easy, he could finally have a stable life with Qin Ya.

Ahead of them, Sang Yu and Qin Ya entered the house first. Lin Xinyan and Zong Jinghao had been the first to arrive. Although they had moved out of the place, they often hired people to clean the house. Therefore, the house was still clean despite being empty for most of the time.

When Lin Xinyan saw them enter, she poured a few glasses of water and placed them on the table.

“Peichuan, I heard you’ve got a promotion,” Lin Xinyan said when she put down the glasses and looked at him.

Shen Peichuan sat on the couch and answered, “Xinyan, news reaches you quick. You already know it before I got the chance to tell you about it.”

Lin Xinyan chuckled. She had heard it from Zong Jinghao, but she did not know how that man had found out about it. Zong Jinghao was well-connected with many people, so it was normal for him to hear about things quickly.

“Let me take the opportunity to announce something.” Wrapping an arm around Qin Ya, Su Zhan stated, “Qin Ya and I have made arrangements. We’re back to pick Grandma Su up.”

“To where?” Shen Peichuan asked. He had just come back from his outstation work, so he did not know about Su Zhan’s plan to move to C City.

That was why he had asked that question.

After briefing him about what happened, Su Zhan continued, “Grandma Su is quite sick, but it’s good news to me. That means I can be with Qin Ya.”

It was a tough road to get to where they were now.

Grandma Su had dementia. After falling and hitting her head, her memory had gotten worse; she only seemed to remember old memories and nothing new. To him, it was good news that she had forgotten about those unhappy incidents.

“If you’re going to move there, then what about here…”

“I’ve settled everything here,” Su Zhan cut him off, knowing what Shen Peichuan was about to ask.

Shen Peichuan gave him a pat on the shoulder. Right then, the doorbell rang. It was the deliveryman.

Lin Xinyan stood up to head to the door. Three deliverymen had come, and in their hands were bags of food. Lin Xinyan turned to let them in as she instructed, “Leave them on the table.”

In a blink of an eye, the food was all placed on the table.

After the deliverymen left and Lin Xinyan closed the door, Qin Ya and Sang Yu went over to help open the food boxes.

Lin Xinyan muttered, “I can do it myself. Why are the two of you helping?”

“Let the men talk. It’s not like we can get a word in, anyway,” Sang Yu laughed. “Do you need plates?”

Qin Ya responded, “These are already packed. Pouring them into plates is only for the sake of the food looking better. If we use the plates, we’ll have to wash them later.”

“That’s true.” Sang Yu then turned to Lin Xinyan. “Xinyan, why did you two move to the old house instead of staying here?”

Lin Xinyan lowered her eyes to conceal her feelings. She only told them they moved because Zong Qifeng was not in the best of health, and he missed the old house. That was why they moved.

After preparing the dishes, Qin Ya shouted in the direction of the living room, “You can eat while you talk.”

“We should celebrate Peichuan’s promotion. I’m going to grab a bottle of wine,” Lin Xinyan muttered.

“We all drove here. How are we going to drive back after drinking?” Su Zhan pulled Qin Ya to her seat.

Lin Xinyan halted in her footsteps, finding reason in Su Zhan’s words.

“Can’t we call for a driver? It’s rare for us to gather together. Mr. Shen will definitely be busy after his promotion, and Su Zhan and I will be moving to C City. I don’t know when our next gathering will be. Let’s just have a glass. How about that?” Qin Ya persuaded with a smile.

As everyone nodded in agreement at her words, Qin Ya then brought two bottles over.

Lin Xinyan moved to pour the wine, but Shen Peichuan took the bottle instead. “I’ll do it.”
