Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 810

The comical look on Shen Peichuan’s face had Lin Xinyan hiding her smile behind a hand.

Shen Peichuan’s gaze bounced between Sang Yu’s face and the necklace around her neck. He had honestly not noticed she was wearing it. In fact, she had never had the habit of wearing such an accessory. She was constantly surrounded by men around her age in university while he had been busy outstation the past two months. Panic crested in him at the thought.

But with so many other people around, he was not comfortable bringing this issue up. Steeling himself, he said, “You’re not allowed to accept other people’s gifts.”

Sang Yu took a bite of some vegetables, chewing slowly before swallowing. “It was a wedding gift. I couldn’t exactly refuse.”

Shen Peichuan’s expression darkened. “You’re obviously married and yet they still got you that?”

She nodded.

He pursed his lips and said in a tight voice, “Return it. Just tell me what you like and I’ll buy it for you.”

Sang Yu could not stop a bubble of laughter from escaping her. “You really want me to return this to Xinyan?”

Once again, Shen Peichuan was rendered speechless.

He shifted his gaze over to Lin Xinyan, who stared back at him steadily.

“That’s right, I gave it to her. I deliberately said all that so you’ll feel threatened. Sang Yu is still young and very beautiful, so a lot of men will definitely want to court her. That’s why you have to pay more attention to her. Don’t think that you can ignore her just because you’ve already gotten your marriage certificate.”

“I didn’t ignore her,” Shen Peichuan replied in an aggrieved tone. He loved Sang Yu from the bottom of his heart and was sincere in every interaction with her.

Taking in the lost look on her husband’s face, Sang Yu grabbed his hand from under the table. She had been so angry at him for not contacting her and being distant recently. But seeing him at a loss now caused her heart to soften.

Shen Peichuan squeezed her hand tightly, a layer of sweat breaking out on his palm.

After dinner, it was time for Shen Peichuan and Sang Yu to return home.

Sang Yu was sitting in the passenger seat while Shen Peichuan drove. Silence curled around them as they both kept quiet.

Fiddling with her safety belt, Sang Yu broke the silence, “Don’t you have anything to say to me?”

It was not that Shen Peichuan had nothing to say but that he had too many things to say. He did not know where to even begin.

Sang Yu sighed. “The day you left… I woke up and you were already gone. You didn’t even call me and only sent me a message once. And… You know what, forget it.”

There was no point in bringing all this up now.

Shen Peichuan stopped the car by the roadside. After several seconds of thought, he answered, “I was really busy those few days.”

She bowed her head as she muttered, “But you rarely contacted me even after those first few days. Is it really so hard to send me a message asking how I was doing and that you missed me?”

“Sometimes I only get home when it’s already very late. I was worried you would be resting… “

“Every single day, I stayed up late waiting for you to contact me.” She lifted her head to stare at him. Unknowingly, tears sparkled in her eyes.

Shen Peichuan panicked when he saw that she was about to cry. “Sang Yu, I’m so sorry.”

Sang Yu dabbed at the corner of her eyes. “Forget it.”
