Stealing Your Heart Chapter 779


    Lin Xinyan kept her head low as she shot him a sidelong re.


    Zong Jinghao responded with a soft chuckle.


    As they made their way out of the ward, they were met by the group that came back from visiting the


    baby earlier.


    “Congrattions on your new baby boy.” The voices of both Shen Peichuan and Su Zhan echoed


    simultaneously. It was an unexpected synchrony. They exchanged a disdainful nce before they


    turned their backs against each other.


    Su Zhan seemed to have recovered from his injury. The bandage on his head earlier had been


    removed.


    The man’s previous hairstyle had been sacrificed in the process. Nevertheless, he hadn’t lost his


    charm.


    Meanwhile, Sang Yu and Qin Ya instinctively walked over to Lin Xinyan’s sides. “Let us do it,” Qin Ya


    said to Zong Jinghao as the duo supported Lin Xinyan on her feet.


    “Be careful, you two,” Zong Jinghao instructed as he made way for them.


    “Tsk tsk,” Qin Ya muttered under her breath. What’s with that arrogance? A passing thought crossed


    her mind upon Zong Jinghao’s authoritative tone. On the other hand, she could empathize with how he


    felt. It’s only understandable that he was so immersed in the pride and happiness of having fathered a


    newborn son.


    Wary of Lin Xinyan’s postpartum condition, Qin Ya shifted her focus back onto providing support while


    being as careful as possible.


    Lin Xinyan nced at Sang Yu and then at Qin Ya, noticing how different each of them looked. Sang


    Yu appeared somewhat healthier and more radiant than before. Qin Ya, on the other hand, didn’t look


    too well.


    Lin Xinyan held onto Qin Ya’s arm as she slowly lowered herself onto the couch. Conscious of the fresh


    stitches on her abdomen, she leaned back further to prop herself up against the cushioned backrest.


    “Is there something on your mind?” Lin Xinyan looked at Qin Ya worryingly.


    Qin Ya lowered her eyelids. “It’s nothing,” she replied, her voice devoid of emotion.


    The past few days had been tormenting. However, Qin Ya did not want to ruin the atmosphere. That


    was why she decided to keep those feelings of distress to herself.


    Ever since Su Zhan recovered, Grandma Su had been urging them both to undergo a test in the


    hospital.


    The results that came weren’t pleasant. The report showed that she had poor ova quality and was


    required to give herself six injections daily. The numerous needle marks left on her waist and arm


    looked just as miserable as how she felt.


    Qin Ya had only made it through the first three days. It was just the beginning, but the days ahead


    seemed as if they’d only be getting more and more difficult. It took such a huge toll on her body and


    mind.


    “What’s wrong? Did you have an argument with Su Zhan?” Sang Yu asked.


    Before Qin Ya managed to answer, Su Zhan intervened, “What are you talking about? If any argument


    happened, it’d be between you and Shen Peichuan. Don’t you start cursing us!”


    Sang Yu shot him an angry re. “What’s gotten into you? There’s no need to be so offended. You


    could’ve simply said a ‘no.’“


    “Looks like you’ve improved a lot on your arguing skills these days. Haven’t you learned anything good


    ever since being together with Shen Peichuan?”


    “You’re one to talk. Haven’t you been bullying Peichuan every time you’re with him?”


    “You…”


    Before Su Zhan could retaliate further, Shen Peichuan cut his sentence off. “What’s the fuss about?”


    He jabbed an elbow at Su Zhan, who stood near him. The wounds on Su Zhan’s body no longer hurt


    much, but he acted as if he was still in a lot of pain. “Ouch! Shen Peichuan, are you trying to get me


    hospitalized again?”


    Shen Peichuan looked at him, unamused. “Don’t snap at me. Aren’t you pretty much recovered


    already?”


    “Who told you I’ve recoveredpletely? Whatever. You’ll have to pay for that!”


    “What am I supposed to do?” Shen Peichuan maintained a cold attitude towards his acting.


    Su Zhan answered without thinking, “You’re going to give me a huge sum of red packet money.”


    “In your dreams!” Shen Peichuan replied dismissively. He then wrapped an arm around Su Zhan’s


    shoulder. With a taunting grin, he spoke in his ear, “I’ll give you a big one on the day you have a son.”


    He gestured in the air with his hands as if outlining the image of a huge money sack.


    Su Zhan was rendered speechless.


    He immediately regretted his answer earlier. Of all things, the topic of having a child hit him the hardest.


    Grandma Su had been giving him a lot of pressure on this matter. It hurt him to see Qin Ya suffer


    because of this too.


    He was so torn in between.


    Lin Xinyan’s voice broke the momentary silence. “I’m getting tired. Ya, can you help me into the room?”


    “Sure.” Qin Ya immediately offered the woman a hand.


    Lin Xinyan wasn’t exactly tired. She could see that Qin Ya was troubled, and she wanted to have a


    word with her.


    Qin Ya kept silent as she helped Lin Xinyan walk.


    “Close the door,” Lin Xinyan requested once they entered.


    In a swift and nimble motion, Qin Ya swung the door shut with one hand. As Lin Xinyan settled onto her


    bed, she motioned for Qin Ya to sit beside her. “Something is definitely troubling you. Can’t you tell me


    about it?”


    Qin Ya let out a helpless sigh. “It’s not that I don’t want to talk about it. I just don’t know where to


    start…”


    Lin Xinyan frowned as she waited for Qin Ya to continue.


    “I went for a test recently, and it turns out that my eggs are of poor quality. I’ve been on medication and


    injections every day since, and I’ll have to go for a follow-up at the hospital again in a month’s time. I’m


    so stressed… I’m really scared about this. I know it’s just the beginning, but I feel like giving up


    already…”


    Qin Ya’s voice trailed off as she looked out the bedside window. She had been wrestling with her inner


    thoughts. She had never felt so lost in her life before.


    Ever since she remarried Su Zhan, there wasn’t a single day where her heart felt at peace.


    Lin Xinyan ced her hand on Qin Ya’s as she listened to her story. The former didn’t know what best


    to say tofort her.


    “Are you looking for a surrogate?” she asked. It would be impossible for Qin Ya to bear a child without a


    uterus.


    Qin Ya nodded. “We’ve already found a suitable candidate.”


    Lin Xinyan’s eyes widened in surprise. “That was faster than I thought!”


    Qin Ya gave another helpless nod. “Grandma Su’s been really desperate,” she replied and looked up at


    Lin Xinyan. “She’s been making me drink these weird concoctions every day… I have no idea where


    she has gotten such recipes from. She imed that they’re herbal supplements for my body, but the


    ingredients she used were ridiculous. You wouldn’t believe what she’s actually put into those so-called


    herbal soups…”


    Qin Ya’s face turned pale as she exined. Lin Xinyan held onto her hands firmly. There had been


    times she felt tempted to advise Qin Ya to give up, but she had held her tongue each time nheless.


    Grandma Su wasn’t a bad person. She was indeed known to be staunch, however, whenever it


    involved her old-fashioned mentality or personal interests.


    If Lin Xinyan were to tell Qin Ya to give up, how would her friend survive being a part of the Su family in


    the days toe?


    Lin Xinyan teared up with regret. “I’m so sorry… I shouldn’t have helped Su Zhan convince you to


    reconcile with him. Su Zhan’s a good person who’s matured a lot after that incident. I also understand


    that it’s difficult for him to disobey his grandma. She’s the one who raised him, after all. I should’ve


    known better back then… I didn’t realize these would all be so unfair to you…”


    “Don’t put the me on yourself. It has nothing to do with you.” Qin Ya knew she shouldn’t make


    anyone responsible for her own decisions. If she herself wasn’t so softhearted back then, nobody


    could’ve convinced her either way.


    It was heartbreaking for Lin Xinyan to see Qin Ya pale so much that her face began to turn yellow. Lin


    Xinyan reached out a hand and gently caressed her cheek. “Oh, dear… I can’t imagine how will it be


    like for you from now on…”


    “I can only hope that everything eventually gets better,” Qin Ya replied nkly.


    Lin Xinyan nodded. Perhaps this would be thest hurdle she had to endure before her painful ordeal


    comes to an end. Perhaps the rainbow would finally appear after this onest storm.


    “Feel free to tell me if there’s anything you need,” Lin Xinyan murmured. She wished so much to help


    ease Qin Ya’s burdens. Yet again, she realized that there was nothing she could do.


    Qin Ya put on a weary smile. “You shouldn’t be worrying about me in your current state. Rest up as


    much as possible and focus on your own recovery first.”


    Her facade didn’t make Lin Xinyan worry any less. “Who’s the surrogate? What kind of a person is


    she?” thetter probed further.

    She had to make sure that the surrogate was chosen carefully. If something were to go wrong with the


    childbearing process, Qin Ya’s future could be at stake.
