Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 852

“Don’t touch me,” growled Shen Peichuan.

Sang Yu was helping him take off his clothes at the time. Her hands trembled, and she paused before she circled around and called out, “Peichuan.”

Shen Peichuan fell asleep after growling.

Sang Yu was speechless.

She frowned from the bedside. It took her forever to get one sleeve off of him, but that sleeve had since landed underneath him. To make matters worse, Shen Peichuan was too heavy for her to turn him.

What do I do?

Sang Yu was stumped, but she couldn’t let him sleep just like that either. He wouldn’t be able to sleep well that way. She later crouched on the bed and pushed hard to get him to turn around. Shen Peichuan simply pried her hands away like he was annoyed. He sounded extremely irritated as he repeated, “Don’t touch me.”

Sang Yu stared. That was the first time she saw him drunk.

She was exasperated but thought it was funny as well.

“Fine, then you can go ahead and sleep like that. Don’t blame it on me if you wake up all sore,” complained Sang Yu. She then got a blanket out of the cabinet and draped it over him.

Shen Peichuan shifted and reached out to fumble around. “Where’s my phone?” he asked.

“You’re drunk. Why are you still looking for your phone? Calm down and go to bed,” said Sang Yu as she held his hand and stopped him.

Shen Peichuan ignored her and insisted, “No, I have to make a call.”

Sang Yu rubbed her temple and asked, “Who are you trying to call in this drunken state?”

“I’m calling Sang Yu,” answered Shen Peichuan.

Sang Yu was momentarily stunned. Her lips later curved into a smile, and she reached out to caress his face. “You’re drunk, but you’re still thinking about her?” teased Sang Yu.

“Yeah, I miss her,” murmured Shen Peichuan before he turned around and fell asleep again.

There was an old wives’ tale about how one would speak the truth when drunk. That tale got Sang Yu delighted. He’s still thinking of me, despite being drunk. He must truly care for me.

She got a wet towel to help him clean his hands and face. After that, she took off his shoes for him and stuffed the blanket under his feet. She then poured a glass of water for him and cleaned the place up a bit before taking a shower herself. When she was done with everything, she lay down beside him to go to bed. His breath reeked of alcohol, and Sang Yu was bothered by that.

Perhaps it was because she was pregnant that caused her nose to be more sensitive. Regardless of the reason, Sang Yu still turned around to have her back to him. Unfortunately, Shen Peichuan reached out soon after and pulled her into his arms. He even put his legs over her, and the weight annoyed her. Sang Yu had no choice but to get up and push that leg away. A few seconds later, Shen Peichuan’s leg went over her again. Sang Yu was tired, but the weight made it impossible for her to sleep, so she got up and grabbed another blanket. After that, she went to sleep in the living room.

Shen Peichuan woke up the next morning to see that no one was lying next to him. When he saw Sang Yu sleeping on the sofa, he asked, “Why are you sleeping here?”

Sang Yu got up to fold the blanket while instructing, “Go take a shower.”

Shen Peichuan stood there nervously without moving a muscle. Why did Sang Yu sleep on the sofa last night? Did I do something to piss her off while I was drunk last night?

“Why did you sleep on the sofa?” asked Shen Peichuan again.

Sang Yu thought he was acting strangely, so she turned to him and pointed out, “Are you planning to go to work in that outfit? It’s almost seven o’clock, and you don’t have much time. Go shower and change into your clean clothes before reporting for duty.”

Shen Peichuan checked the time and realized that he was running late. Still, he asked, “I didn’t piss you off last night, did I?”

Sang Yu finally understood why he dragged his feet. Oh, he’s worried about me being angry.

She stared at the blanket she was holding and guessed why he thought she was angry. With a smile, she walked to him and said, “No, you didn’t.”

After that, Sang Yu tiptoed and pecked his lips before saying, “Go shower.”

Shen Peichuan’s nervous frown loosened up immediately, and relief washed over his heart. He went to shower and change his clothes after that.

Sang Yu woke up late that morning, so she didn’t have time to prepare breakfast. She put a formal outfit on and suggested, “Let’s settle on eating out this morning.”

“Okay,” replied Shen Peichuan. He then saw Sang Yu getting ready to head out too, so he asked, “Where are you going?”

“I’m heading to work,” answered Sang Yu.
