Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 804

Lin Xinyan glanced at Shen Peichuan and asked, “Have you guys quarreled?”

Surprised by her question, Shen Peichuan replied, “No, we haven’t.”

Lin Xinyan was a little doubtful yet she refrained from further pursuing the matter. Given that Sang Yu was young and emotional, Lin Xinyan felt the need to remind him, “You are well aware of Sang Yu’s situation. Seeing as such, you have to be sure to cherish and protect her. Make her feel at home, and don’t ever leave her in the cold.”

Shen Peichuan shot her a smile as he assured her that he understood.

He loved Sang Yu in his own way, as he supported her too, in pursuing her studies. Hence, he didn’t stop her when she wanted to move to the dormitory, even going as far as to give her a lift to the dormitory.

Now that Lin Xinyan had reminded him of it, he began to ponder over their relationship. He couldn’t help but feel that something was subtly different between them. In the past, she liked to stay with me all the time. Nevertheless, she seems to be distancing herself from me now. Have I done something wrong?

He remembered that they didn’t quarrel at all before he left. Seeing that he had been rather busy lately, they didn’t even have time to communicate with each other, not to mention quarrel.

Did I overthink it? Perhaps Sang Yu isn’t pissed off at me at all?

“Hand the baby over to me.” Zhuang Zijin carried the kid from Lin Xinyan and continued, “He is supposed to take a nap now.”

Handing the kid over to her, Lin Xinyan took two glasses of water and placed one of them before Shen Peichuan. Then, she asked, “How long will your next trip be?”

“About a month,” Shen Peichuan replied.

She nodded in response. Upon taking a sip of the water, she asked again, “How many days will you stay here? When will you be leaving?”

“I was quite busy back then. But now, I am free for several days. I will be taking my leave on Tuesday. I should be able to complete the course when I return the next round,” Shen Peichuan explained.

“I understand that you’re busy. However, you still have to spend some time to accompany Sang Yu.” When Sang Yu visited their house, Lin Xinyan sensed that she was troubled with something. Although she kept smiling, she would easily be lost in thought whenever she didn’t speak.

Shen Peichuan nodded and affirmed, “I understand.”

“Let’s have lunch now.” Aunt Yu announced after she put the dishes on the dining table. Since it was a weekend, Zong Qifeng brought the two kids to the cultural center. Besides, Zong Jinghao couldn’t come home because he had lunch with a business partner.

As such, the house was rather quiet now.

Shen Peichuan left after lunch. When he hopped into his car, he realized that he had nowhere to go. After all, his house was quiet because Sang Yu wasn’t at home. Hence, he took out his phone and sent a message to Sang Yu: Have you had your lunch?

Miles away from him, Sang Yu had taken some food at the canteen. Unfortunately, she didn’t have the appetite to consume her food. When her phone rang, she hurriedly took it out. She felt a little excited, the moment she caught sight of Shen Peichuan’s message. Although she was upset that Shen Peichuan didn’t take the initiative to contact her for many days, she couldn’t help but open the message immediately.

Upon reading the message, she pretended to be calm as she replied to him: Yes, I have.

Holding the phone, Shen Peichuan was unsure as to how he should respond. Should I say I miss you? Nonetheless, he felt that it would be too cringy for Sang Yu because she was on campus. Hence, he sent another message to ask another question: What did you have for lunch?

Sang Yu was rendered speechless once she saw the message.

Is he the dullest man on earth?

She held in her annoyance as she replied to him: Some cowpeas, stir-fried pork with ginger, along with some bean curd.

Since he began to feel his dullness, he tried to change the subject: How many classes do you have in the evening?

Sang Yu’s eyes sparkled when she saw the message as she asked him in return: Why do you want to know?

The next moment, he quickly typed out a few words: I wish to see you…

However, upon hesitating for a while, he soon changed the message: Let’s have dinner tonight.

Sang Yu felt speechless once again.
