Stealing Your Heart Chapter 748

Captain Song’s voice was a lot more hoarse than it used to be.

“I stumbled upon it by accident not long ago.” Shen Peichuan kept his reply as conservative as possible.

He couldn’t bring himself to tell Captain Song that Zong Jinghao was the one who looked it up.

Captain Song let out a huge sigh. “I’m such a huge failure.”

I’ve failed to teach my daughter well, and now she has embarrassed me in front of my subordinates… There goes my dream of retiring with honor…

Shen Peichuan kept quiet as he didn’t know what to say.

Song Yaxin was just like her mother, and anyone who messed with them was bound to have a hard time.

“Why didn’t you tell me about it, then?” Captain Song asked.

“Because I didn’t want you to worry about these things.”

“Hmph…” Captain Song sat down in his chair. “Is that so?”

“Yes, sir…”

“Oh, don’t give me that bullsh*t!” Captain Song interrupted him. “Anyway, I’m old now. I’m thinking of an early retirement.”

“Why?” I don’t understand. Captain Song loves his job!

Captain Song gave him a very vague answer. “I’m tired, Peichuan. I want to rest. All right, you can get back to work now.”

I can’t bring myself to face Shen Peichuan any longer, especially after what my daughter did. I’ve been too busy with work while I was young and ended up neglecting my family as a result. Oh, how much I regret doing that! Had I spent more time with my wife and daughter, I would’ve noticed that change in her attitude and corrected her! She’s turned out like this because of me…

Shen Peichuan figured he probably had his own reasons for it and decided not to ask any further. “I’ll be on my way, then.”

“I… I owe you one for not telling.” Captain Song said as Shen Peichuan was about to leave.

He understood that Shen Peichuan had kept it from him out of respect for his dignity and pride.

“Don’t mention it,” Shen Peichuan said.

Even if he weren’t that close with Captain Song, he still wouldn’t have told anyone about it.

It was soon time to get off work, and Shen Peichuan made sure that everything had been taken care of at work before leaving his office.

By the time he got home, Sang Yu had already tidied up the table, washed his dirty clothes and hung them to dry on the balcony.

There was a half-eaten apple on the table, a book on the floor, and the television had been left on.

Sang Yu had fallen asleep on the sofa with a pillow in her arms.

Shen Peichuan treaded lightly towards her to pick up the book and turn off the television.

Sang Yu woke up when the noise from the television was suddenly gone. She slowly opened her eyes and began looking for her phone to check the time.

“When did you get back?” she asked.
