Stealing Your Heart

Sang Yu shrugged and replied nonchalantly, “Is my future important, though? I’ve lost the person I want to take care of, so what’s the point of finishing my studies or finding a good job? Would that really make me happy?”

Shen Peichuan turned to Sang Yu. She was still standing by the door and had her back to the sun. The light engulfed her and made her look like a lonesome entity.

Shen Peichuan couldn’t see her expression under those circumstances, but he could tell that she had gotten thinner and weaker.

Shen Peichuan clenched his fists in frustration and asked, “Are you really planning on spending the rest of your life here?”

Sang Yu turned around and had her back to him then. She sat by the door and looked into the distance before confessing, “I don’t know. Maybe I’ll leave this place after I get married…”

“Who are you marrying?” interrupted Shen Peichuan at lightning speed before Sang Yu could finish her sentence.

She’s getting married? To whom? Who is she marrying?

“Don’t get married,” blurted Shen Peichuan. He only realized that he had crossed the line after he had already said his piece. Ah, I have no right to stop her from marrying anyone.

“Uh, I mean…” said Shen Peichuan slowly while thinking of an excuse, “Ah! I mean that you’re still young, so you don’t need to be in a hurry to get married.”

“I understand. Thank you for your concern. But don’t worry, I will plan for that myself,” replied Sang Yu as she rested her chin on her hand, “Actually, now that I think about it, this is a pretty decent place. The people here are honest, and they don’t scheme against one another. Living in this environment will be very relaxing.”

Shen Peichuan couldn’t say anything.

Everyone had the right to choose their own lifestyle, and Shen Peichuan had no right to interfere with Sang Yu’s choices.

“Are you planning on getting married in the future?” asked Sang Yu suddenly.

Shen Peichuan couldn’t see her expression at the time. All he saw was her back, but he wasn’t the kind of man who would lie anyway, so he answered, “Yeah.”

Sang Yu knew that Shen Peichuan wouldn’t remain single for the rest of his life. Plus, he is so wonderful, and someone else is already in love with him. The only downside is that he is a little slow when it comes to the matter of the heart. If he wasn’t, he would’ve already gotten married and have kids by now. thought Sang Yu. She knew all that, but her heart still stung at the thought of him being with another woman and them having kids together.

She pretended to comb her hair with her fingers so she could secretly wipe her tears off. After that, she commented in an even tone, “That’s nice. Are you marrying Ms. Song?”

Shen Peichuan fixed his gaze downwards and murmured an affirmative reply.

Hearing that, Sang Yu dug her fingers into her palm to suppress the bitterness welling up in her tongue. She took some time to gather herself and only spoke when she was certain that her tone would remain nonchalant. “That’s great. She comes from a great family, is beautiful, and is around your age. She can help boost your career, and the two of you look great together. You’ll lead a happy life after the two of you get married.”

Happy?

Shen Peichuan thought that adjective was something that was way out of his reach. Or rather, it was something he would never experience.

“Do you think I’ll be happy?” asked Shen Peichuan in a daze.
