Stealing Your Heart Chapter 330
“I know I messed up, Xinyan. Please just help me out.” Su Zhan begged flirtatiously while clinging onto
Lin Xinyan’s sleeves. “Have mercy on me and help me talk to Qin Ya. Please?”
Zong Jinghao frowned as he went ahead and pulled Su Zhan away from Lin Xinyan. “Just talk. There’s
no need for all this touching!” he eximed.
Su Zhan paused.
“Xinyan. If you don’t help me out, I really just might die.” Su Zhan gave Zong Jinghao a re and dived
right onto the couch. “I’m not leaving until I see Qin Ya,” he continued.
Su Zhan was being persistent.
This ce was great anyway. It was huge and had spare guest rooms. Not to mention him not needing
to worry about food.
“Go ahead,” Zong Jinghao replied and dragged Lin Xinyan upstairs.
She looked at Zong Jinghao with uncertainty. “Are we going to just let him be?” Lin Xinyan asked.
Zong Jinghao kept quiet as he pulled her up the stairs. The issue was not whether she should help him.
When it came to rtionships, things would get reallyplicated. Su Zhan should be the one to clear
things up with Qin Ya, so he did not want Lin Xinyan caught up in their rtionship. If they managed to
patch things up, great. But what if something went wrong? Would Lin Xinyan be med?
On the other hand, Lin Xinyan could actually tell that Su Zhan was going through a rough time.
But in any case, he should suffer a little in order to understand and cherish this rtionship.
“I’m giving Qin Ya a call.” She looked at Zong Jinghao who closed the room door. “I won’t involve
myself. I’m just concerned about Qin Ya.”
It was obvious that the separation was not doing Qin Ya any good either. She would not have epted
the marriage proposal if she did not have feelings for Su Zhan.
Lin Xinyan pulled out her phone and dialed Qin Ya’s number.
Qin Ya had moved out of her ce with Ellen and no one knew where the new ce was. It was not
big but the living space was just right for her.
Qin Ya sat at the bay window with a book in hand as rain poured down outside. The book was called
‘What is Happiness’. There was a line in the book that she repeated numerous times. It read, ‘What is
happiness? Happiness is but the warmth of sunlight in the cold winter. It is but the refreshing iced tea
served under the summer sun. When you are content, the smallest of things grants happiness.”
It made so much sense to her. The more one wanted, the more discontented one became. Happiness
was lost in the process.
It was like her current situation. The only things on her mind wereints and regrets. Why did Su
Zhan break his promise? Why did she say yes to his proposal that ended up leaving her in this sorry
state?
Bute to think of it, it’s actually not that big of a deal. I just have to let go.
Su Zhan was just a passerby in her life. He was just someone who made good memories with her but
would not stop her from moving on.
As long as she wanted to, happiness would be an arm’s reach away and she would be under the
warmth of the winter sun.
Buzz…
The phone beside her suddenly rang. She looked at who the caller was but did not immediately pick
up. The shop’s grand opening was scheduled on the 8th; it was still early. Iing calls for her before
that would most likely be rted to Su Zhan.
“Ms. Lin,” she answered the phone after a momentary contemtion.
Lin Xinyan walked to the window. The snow outside had already melted away as water dripped from
treetops and eaves. She silently braced herself before she said, “Are you free right now?” Lin Xinyan
did not want to jump straight into talking about what happened between Qin Ya and Su Zhan.
Qin Ya pursed her lips and asked, “Did Su Zhan ask you to call me?”
“He’s drunk,” Lin Xinyan replied honestly. “He came knocking on my door and said he wouldn’t leave if I
don’t help him. Don’t worry though, I’m not calling to talk about that. There are more than enough
rooms here for him to stay. I just wanted to ask how are you?”
“I’m doing alright.” Qin Ya lowered her head.
I’m doing much better when I’ve figured things out.
Qin Ya understood that she should not be avoiding her issues. Instead, in order to let go, she had to
confront them.
“If he’s being unreasonable, just ask him to call me.” She had cklisted Su Zhan’s contact prior to Lin
Xinyan’s call but decided to undo that. Although she had not forgiven him, it was time to move on. She
was ready to confront him with herposure now.
“He really looks like he’s suffering,” Lin Xinyan smiled as she replied, “I’m not trying to persuade you
here. I’m just telling you what I see.”
Qin Ya also smiled. “He really doesn’t let anyone feel secure, does he?”
Maybe he has feelings for me.
“I’ll tell him that,” Lin Xinyan replied.
After that, they proceeded to talk about work. The conversation went on pleasantly. As they hung up,
Lin Xinyan went downstairs to let Su Zhan know that Qin Ya would be picking up his calls now. But it
turned out that he was already fast asleep.
Aunt Yu covered him with a nket. Sighing, Lin Xinyan left him alone. We’ll talk in the morning.
She returned to her room and saw that Zong Jinghao was lying t on his back with his arms and legs
stretched outwards. It was truly unsightly. Lin Xinyan gave him a look and suggested, “Su Zhan fell
asleep. You wanna get him into a room?”
Zong Jinghao turned to his side with one hand supporting his head and signaled her with his index
finger. “Come here.”
As for Su Zhan, the house was heated so he was at no risk of catching a cold anyway.
Lin Xinyan instinctively backed away and eximed, “What are you doing?”
Raising an eyebrow, Zong Jinghao grinned. “What are you afraid of? I don’t bite,” he teased.
“You’re weird.” Her lips curled.
Zong Jinghao paused.
How am I weird?
“Come here. I have something for you.”
Lin Xinyan skeptically took another step back.
A sudden sense of defeat welled up from within Zong Jinghao seeing how nervous she was.
He let out a sigh and took out the ne that Zhuang Zijin had given him from his pocket. “Your mom
wanted you to have this.”
“It’s my mom’s?” Lin Xinyan replied hesitantly as she gazed at the trinket in his hand. She went up to
him but refrained from reaching out. In fact, Lin Xinyan was still considering the truth of his words.

After all, she had never seen this ne on Zhuang Zijin, nor was this something Zong Jinghao
would buy.
A brief momentter, Lin Xinyan extended her hand toward the ne. The moment she touched it,
Zong Jinghao grabbed her arm and tugged at her, causing her to fall into his arms.
“Are you gonna hide?” He smiled.
“Nope,” Lin Xinyan replied while shaking her head.
She quietly stayed in his embrace and asked, “Did my mom really ask you to give me this?”
“Yes,” Zong Jinghao assured her.
Lin Xinyan inspected the ne carefully but did not find anything unusual about it. It was just a in
and simple tinum ne. “Put it away if it makes you feel ufortable,” Zong Jinghao said as
he cuddled her from behind.
She shook her head. “Help me put this on.”
As a matter of fact, Lin Xinyan already had her closure. She was just saddened by the future trials and
tribtions that Zhuang Zijin had yet to face.
Since the ne was hers, she decided to wear it as it felt as though her mother was still beside her.
Zong Jinghao ced the ne around her neck and sped it in ce. Although he noticed some
tiny wordings on the sp, he assumed those were the marks of the ne brand and did not
inspect any further.
The chain was very thin but bright at the same time. It stood out brilliantly from Lin Xinyan’s ck
sweater.
Life after the new year was a peaceful one. The two kids went back to school after the fifteenth. Lin
Xinyan’s ns to feature Tea Silk in a fashion show was put aside. On the other hand, Zong Jinghao
had gotten quite busy recently. She rarely saw him because he left home early and came homete.
As for Qin Ya and Su Zhan, Lin Xinyan did not concern herself with their issue any further. Su Zhan left
on the day she told him about Qin Ya being able to see him. She never saw him since then.
Time flew by and almost a month had passed since the new year. February was near when Lin Xinyan
received a call from Zong Jinghao asking her to head to hispany.
After she hung up, she got off work. She was getting ready to meet up with Zong Jinghao when she
passed by the washroom to see that Qin Ya was throwing up inside.
