Stealing Your Heart

By the time he arrived, it was already late evening.

At this time, Sang Yu and her course mates were busy preparing skewers for a barbecue. Of course, she prepared vegetable skewers for herself too. While the ladies were arranging drinks and fruits on the picnic mat, the boys were busy grilling the skewers.

Sang Yu kept getting distracted and checked the time on her watch. She wanted to estimate when Shen Peichuan would arrive.

“Do you have anything on your mind? You seem a little distracted ever since you answered that call.” One of the female course mates teased her, “I think someone must be missing her hubby!”

All these course mates on this trip had a close relationship with Sang Yu, and this was why they knew she was married.

“Stop it…” Sang Yu lowered her eyes. “I’m just thinking of the clothes I left on the balcony and thought of going home…”

“Oh, come on. Don’t be a party pooper! And it’s late now, so I’m sure it won’t rain. Just forget about it and enjoy a good time here!” One of the boys said.

“He’s right. Don’t tell me you want to leave at this hour? It’s too dangerous! Let’s just have some fun for a night here.”

The others also tried their best to stop her from leaving.

Sang Yu gave in and texted Shen Peichuan to see if he was coming.

Shen Peichuan replied: I’ve arrived at the foothill.

Sang Yu raised her head and looked at her course mates, “My hubby’s here to pick me up…”

“What? Your husband’s here?” Three girls surrounded her immediately. “Introduce him to us.”

“But…” They put Sang Yu in a tight spot.
