Stealing Your Heart Chapter 488

Su Zhan and Shen Peichuan shared a look before they said almost in unison, “Since we won’t be able to sleep tonight, why don’t we have a drink.”

After all, drinking helped with sleeping.

It was all too easy to read their intentions. The moment they said it, Zong Jinghao knew what they were trying to do. However, he agreed, wanting to get drunk anyway.

After leaving the office, they got into one car to a quieter bar.

When they sat down, they ordered a fruit platter and two bottles of wine.

The warm yellow lights enveloped the room as the air conditioner under the ceiling slowly blew out gusts of cool wind.

Su Zhan poured wine into the glasses as he glanced at Shen Peichuan, “You have to drink this.”

Shen Peichuan shot him a glare, knowing what the other man wanted.

Before Su Zhan could say anything, Shen Peichuan explained, “Don’t let your imaginations run wild. The girl’s too young for me. Karma will come for me if I go after someone that young.

As he spoke, he peered at Zong Jinghao and asked, “Isn’t that right?”

Zong Jinghao narrowed his eyes, noticing something amiss about his words. After drinking a sip of his wine, he uttered frigidly, “I’m not in a good mood.”

It sounded like a warning to Shen Peichuan that he was not in the mood for jokes, let alone listening to mentions of Lin Xinyan.

Now, every time he heard her name, a weight would land on his chest. He missed her so much that he dared not return to the house. He could not sleep when he was by himself. All he could do was numb himself with work so that he would not have the time to think.

Shen Peichuan sighed, “Look at all of you. You look like wilted flowers. Now I’m scared of having a relationship. Say, can’t you be a better example for me?”

Seriously. I’m traumatized.

“Your words are just sour grapes.” Su Zhan sat closer to hook his neck. With a somber expression, he muttered, “I’ll be honest. That girl is pretty. You should appreciate it.”

“Stop overthinking it.” Shen Peichuan was close to having a heart attack because of Su Zhan. Stop overthinking whenever a woman appears by my side!

This is just a task entrusted by someone else.

“She’s only in her first year of college. If I… I’ll be an animal!” Shen Peichuan pried Su Zhan’s arm away from his neck. “Even if I’m looking for one, I’ll look for someone my age. She’s just a kid, so I’d have to coax her every day. I want to marry a wife, not raise a daughter.”

Su Zhan leaned back onto the couch lazily. Beside him, Shen Peichuan looked as though he wanted to crush him so that the former would cease being an annoying man.

“Someone your age? The ones that fit your requirements are all guys. It’s rare to see a girl. I can’t believe you’re still so melodramatic. What’s wrong with being young?”

Although Su Zhan was not as old as Zong Jinghao, Qin Ya was not as old as Lin Xinyan either. To sum it up, both Zong Jinghao and he had an age gap of seven to eight years with their wives.

When they were at the age of kissing and knowing what love was, their wives were still in elementary school.

Now that they were near their thirties, their wives were still in their early twenties.

Are we robbing the cradle?

“Su Zhan, where’s your brain-to-mouth filter?” Shen Peichuan frowned. What Su Zhan needs is a good beating.

He wished Qin Ya would return to teach Su Zhan a lesson. Otherwise, the man would just keep pushing his luck.

“What about this, Peichuan? Let’s make a bet. If you find a young one, you’ll dance on the table wearing a bra on the day of your marriage. Do you have the guts to put a bet on this?”

Shen Peichuan ignored him, not wanting to make pointless bets with the likes of him.

“You don’t?” Su Zhan poured another glass of wine.

“I can’t be bothered by you.”

“You just don’t have the guts for it.”

“You’re irritating.”

“You’re afraid you’ll fall in love with that college freshman. That’s why you don’t dare to bet with me.”

“NO, I’m not!”
