Stealing Your Heart

The comical look on Shen Peichuan’s face had Lin Xinyan hiding her smile behind a hand.

Shen Peichuan’s gaze bounced between Sang Yu’s face and the necklace around her neck. He had honestly not noticed she was wearing it. In fact, she had never had the habit of wearing such an accessory. She was constantly surrounded by men around her age in university while he had been busy outstation the past two months. Panic crested in him at the thought.

But with so many other people around, he was not comfortable bringing this issue up. Steeling himself, he said, “You’re not allowed to accept other people’s gifts.”

Sang Yu took a bite of some vegetables, chewing slowly before swallowing. “It was a wedding gift. I couldn’t exactly refuse.”

Shen Peichuan’s expression darkened. “You’re obviously married and yet they still got you that?”

She nodded.

He pursed his lips and said in a tight voice, “Return it. Just tell me what you like and I’ll buy it for you.”

Sang Yu could not stop a bubble of laughter from escaping her. “You really want me to return this to Xinyan?”

Once again, Shen Peichuan was rendered speechless.

He shifted his gaze over to Lin Xinyan, who stared back at him steadily.

“That’s right, I gave it to her. I deliberately said all that so you’ll feel threatened. Sang Yu is still young and very beautiful, so a lot of men will definitely want to court her. That’s why you have to pay more attention to her. Don’t think that you can ignore her just because you’ve already gotten your marriage certificate.”

“I didn’t ignore her,” Shen Peichuan replied in an aggrieved tone. He loved Sang Yu from the bottom of his heart and was sincere in every interaction with her.

Taking in the lost look on her husband’s face, Sang Yu grabbed his hand from under the table. She had been so angry at him for not contacting her and being distant recently. But seeing him at a loss now caused her heart to soften.

Shen Peichuan squeezed her hand tightly, a layer of sweat breaking out on his palm.
