Stealing Your Heart

Shen Peichuan had drunk quite a lot, but his mind was still clear. Even though I have a good working relationship with Captain Song, how can I impose upon them by staying the night?

He wanted to refuse but did not know how to reject Captain Song’s hospitality.

After all, the man himself had helped him with his problems.

No matter what the reasons were, he had to accept this favor.

“Peichuan, you seemed troubled. Is something bothering you?” Captain Song looked at him meaningfully and asked.

The former’s expression had looked so conflicted that even Captain Song, who already had one too many drinks, could notice it.

Just when Peichuan was struggling to find an answer for Captain Song, the mobile phone in his pocket rang. He immediately responded, “Let me take this call.”

Saying that, he took out his mobile phone. Yaxin, who was sitting next to him, deliberately swiped a curious look at his phone screen, worried that Sang Yu would look for him again.

Consequently, the word “sister-in-law” was displayed on the screen of the mobile phone, and she was relieved. Howbeit, since he was not from B City, he had no relatives here. How in the world did he have a sister-in-law here then?

Yaxin gave Shen Peichuan a strange look.

In the meantime, he promptly answered the call after seeing the caller ID.

“Hello.”

“Is this Peichuan?” Xinyan’s voice could be heard through the phone.

After witnessing Su Zhan walking off alone, Xinyan felt uneasy. That prompted her to give Peichuan a call to request him to look after Su Zhan.

Shen Peichuan replied, “Yes.”

“Su Zhan said he’ll go over to your place. Please look after him, alright?” Xinyan informed.

Sensing something was amiss, Peichuan frowned and asked, “What happened to him?”

“He broke up with Qin Ya and he was in a bad mood. We had just bailed him out of the police station.” Xinyan tried to summarize the whole chain of events.

Shocked to hear that, Peichuan asked nervously, “How did he land himself at the police station?”

Da*n, man! What did you just do?

How did you end up at the police station?

“He got into a fight with someone. His injuries looked quite serious, methinks. I have invited him to come to the villa with me but he rejected me outright. Since I still have something on today, I’ll need a favor from you to look after him for a while. I’m just scared that he would do something stupid again.”

After all, they had agreed to throw a welcoming party for Shao Yun. Both Jinghao and her had to be at the villa. After all, they had planned to introduce Shao Yun to Zong Qifeng and Cheng Yuwen.

Hence they could not follow and accompany Su Zhan all the time.
