Stealing Your Heart Chapter 496

Even Su Zhan perked up upon seeing this uninvited guest. He was full of disdain for this man who lusted after his friend’s wife. “Ah, a rare guest indeed. What are you planning this time?”

Bai Yinning ignored him and looked at Guan Jing. “Please inform him I’m here.”

“Stop putting on an act. You’re acting like a gentleman even though deep down you harbor ill intentions. How could you be so shameless?”

“I’m shameless?” Bai Yinning snorted. He didn’t want to argue with Su Zhan, but the man’s words made him furious. “Did your wife cheat on you with me? Why do you hate me so much?”

“You—”

Shen Peichuan immediately stopped Su Zhan lest they really start hitting each other. “You’re all famous people. Don’t humiliate yourself in public.”

Bai Yinning glared at them. “Chief Shen, he provoked me first. I might be a cripple, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have a temper!”

Shen Peichuan glanced at him and scoffed before leaving with Su Zhan in tow. Su Zhan refused to back down and tried to break free from his grasp.

“Stop it. Do you really want to get into a fight with him here?” Shen Peichuan reminded him and pulled his hand. “Let’s go have breakfast.”

Su Zhan was disgruntled. “I’m not in the mood to eat.”

“You have to eat no matter what. Do you think you can survive just by breathing?” Shen Peichuan demanded. Why do they like to torture themselves? He thought in exasperation.

“We don’t have enough men. If it wasn’t for Gu Bei, I would’ve sent someone to find out where Xinyan and Qin Ya were. As soon as this is over, I’ll send our men to find their whereabouts.”

He would’ve sent his men after the girls if they had enough manpower.

“I was mad at Bai Yinning. He’s too harsh.”

“I know. Don’t worry, he’ll end up in our hands later. You can punish him by then.” Shen Peichuan patted his shoulder to comfort him.

Su Zhan grunted in agreement. As there was a store selling breakfast across the street, they made their way there.

The store was on the third floor. On the right side was a glass wall. You could see the splendid view outside no matter where you were seated. After sitting down, Shen Peichuan ordered three bowls of century egg and pork congee with a few other side dishes. When he returned the menu to the server, he said, “Please pack up one serving of the congee.”

“No problem. Your order will be here soon,” the waiter replied and left.

Shen Peichuan picked up the glass of free water and took a sip. When he placed it back on the table, he asked, “You’re acting strangely. What’s wrong?”

Su Zhan sighed. “Don’t you think we’re weirdos?”

“Weirdos? How so?” Shen Peichuan furrowed his brows. What is he going to say now?

“We’re no longer young. Besides our career, what else do we have?”

This was the first time Shen Peichuan had ever seen Su Zhan being so pessimistic. He was the most cheerful one among the three of them. Su Zhan might be talkative, but it still felt strange when he became quiet all of a sudden.

He would rather let Su Zhan tease him about him being a virgin than being this quiet.

Shen Peichuan couldn’t enjoy his meal upon seeing a dejected Su Zhan. The food was delicious, but it tasted bland to him.
