Stealing Your Heart

The sky was dark when Shen Peichuan drove to Lin Xinyan’s place.

Sang Yu was playing with the baby in the living room, and the first thing Shen Peichuan did was ask her what happened that day.

“Don’t you already know everything? It’s just like what I said earlier,” replied Sang Yu.

Shen Peichuan reached out to play with the baby too, but Sang Yu slapped his hands away and demanded, “Have you washed your hands?”

Shen Peichuan had no answer to that.

“You must wash your hands before playing with the baby,” insisted Sang Yu.

“Never mind then, I won’t play with the baby.”

Shen Peichuan sat on the sofa, and Sang Yu inched toward him. She said, “I freaked out when I saw that box of money. I thought that I had gotten you in trouble. Fortunately, Xinyan helped me out and came up with a solution. Who knows what would happen if she hadn’t?”

Sang Yu had her eyes on Shen Peichuan as she asked, “Did you piss someone off?”

Why else would someone go through all that to hurt us?

Shen Peichuan answered nonchalantly, “I’ll deal with it.”

Sang Yu replied, “Okay, I’m glad you have a plan. Oh, by the way, remember to thank Xinyan when we have dinner together, okay? I couldn’t reach your phone at the time and was completely out of my wits. If Xinyan hadn’t taught me what to do, things would’ve spiraled out of control.”

Shen Peichuan nodded.
