Stealing Your Heart

Su Zhan was at a loss for words. Worried that the idiot might say something to Qin Ya that he would regret for the rest of his life, Shen Peichuan dragged him to the side and ordered, “Just go away and leave this to me.”

Feeling wronged because he got berated for looking out for Lin Xinyan, he retorted, “Peichuan, women are so sharp-tongued nowadays!”

“Can you stop your nonsense, please?” Shen Peichuan had to take a few deep breaths to restrain himself from punching Su Zhan across the face.

“Let’s see how you can handle her!” Su Zhan scoffed and walked away sulkily.

Shen Peichuan only turned to Qin Ya after making sure that Su Zhan was far enough from them. “You’re Qin Ya, right?” he asked. Not waiting for her to deny, he continued, “Su Zhan was too blind to realize it was you.”

Given Shen Peichuan’s intelligence, Qin Ya knew that she couldn’t hide her true identity anymore since he had figured it out himself. Smiling bitterly, she replied, “I noticed that.”

“Why is your voice different? Did you change it deliberately?” Shen Peichuan asked out of concern.

Qin Ya shook her head. “My vocal cords were injured.”

Shen Peichuan heaved a sigh. “You look fine now.” Stretching out a hand for her phone, he continued, “I assume that you know where Xinyan is?”
