Stealing Your Heart

Reaching their apartment, Shen Peichuan unlocked the door while Sang Yu waited behind him. Just then, her phone vibrated in her pocket. She fished it out and saw that it was Wang Tingxue so she accepted the call.

“Sang Yu, when are you coming back?” Sang Yu had brought some of her belongings over to the dorm, saying she wanted to stay a few days. Now it was nearly ten o’clock but she had yet to return. Worried for her, Wang Tingxue decided to call and ask.

Sang Yu entered the apartment and raised her eyes to look at Shen Peichuan, who was staring at her. Pursing her lips, she whispered, “I’m not going back tonight.”

“Why?” Wang Tingxue did not know that Shen Peichuan was back. She distinctly recalled Sang Yu telling her he had gone outstation recently and was not home much.

“My husband is back.”

“Oh.” Wang Tingxue grinned and replied, “Then I won’t disturb you anymore.”

With that said, she hung up and sat on her bed. Admiration and envy toward Sang Yu shot through her. She hasn’t even graduated yet but she’s already found and married a good man. Not only is he influential in society, but his friends are all really wealthy too. I mean, just a present from one of them costs more than ten thousand!

She sighed loudly. It was pointless to be jealous of others. All she could do was work hard for herself.

Sang Yu ended the call and tucked her phone back into her pocket. Shen Peichuan instantly questioned, “Who was that?”

She walked toward the table and poured a glass of water, she replied, “A friend.”

She drank the water thirstily. Twisting her head around, she spotted Shen Peichuan still standing in the same spot. His gaze was locked on her and she self-consciously reached up to touch it. “Is there something on my face? Why are you staring at me?”

He did not respond.

Mentally shrugging, she turned to the laundry basket and noted it was full of Shen Peichuan’s clothes. Picking the basket up, she placed the dirty laundry in the washing machine. Other people’s husbands would bring their wives a little souvenir when they return from outstation. Mine only brings home his dirty clothes.

She sighed mournfully.
