Stealing Your Heart 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. Sheter 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 me it on me if you wake up all sore,”


    comined Sang Yu. She then got a nket out of the cab 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 lipster 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 nket under his feet. She then poured a ss of water for him and cleaned the ce up a


    bit before taking a shower herself. When she was done with everything, shey 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 secondster, 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 nket. 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 nket 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 drunkst 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 nning 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 runningte. Still, he asked, “I didn’t piss


    you offst night, did I?”


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


    She stared at the nket 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 upte 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.


    “Work? But you’re pregnant,” protested Shen Peichuan with a frown.


    “That won’t be a problem. Besides, I’m only doing an internship instead of working full time,” said Sang


    Yu as she grabbed her purse. “I’ve already taken two days off, so I have to go to work today.”


    After saying her piece, Sang Yu turned to leave the house. Shen Peichuan put his hat on immediately


    and called out, “Wait, I’ll drop you off.”


    He grabbed his keys and followed closely behind Sang Yu, who rejected his offer. “You don’t have to do


    that. My office isn’t that far…”


    “I’ll drop you off,” insisted Shen Peichuan while staring at her.


    Sang Yu didn’t reply. She knew he wasn’t backing down.


    In the end, Shen Peichuan dropped Sang Yu off at her workce before he clocked in himself.


    Shen Peichuan had more work to do that day, so Sang Yu got off work before he did. A middle-aged


    man with a box of apples came running when she was in the elevator. The elevator door was about to


    close, so he called out, “Hold the door!”


    Sang Yu held the door open, and the man with the box got in before thanking Sang Yu.


    Sang Yu smiled politely but didn’t reply.


    The man didn’t press any elevator buttons and went straight to the same floor that Sang Yu was


    heading to. When they were getting out of the elevator, the man asked, “Oh, you live here?”


    Sang Yu nodded.


    The man then further asked, “Do you know Chief Shen?”


    Sang Yu stared for a moment. She didn’t answer his question and instead asked, “Is there something


    wrong? Why are you looking for him?”


    The man looked like he was in his mid-fifties and seemed like an honest man. He said, “Oh, the thing


    is, Chief Shen once helped me out, and I want to thank him for it. Unfortunately, I don’t have much, but


    my family grows apples, and I thought I would gift a box to him.”


    “He doesn’t ept gifts,” said Sang Yu.


    Shen Peichuan was a public servant, after all, so he couldn’t ept any gifts from the people.


    It didn’t matter that a box of apples didn’t cost much.


    “He was kind to me, so I must show him my gratitude,” insisted the man. “Do you know him?”


    Sang Yu murmured an affirmative reply.


    “You’re his wife, right?”


    Although the middle-aged man asked the question, his eyes shone with rity. It was obvious that he


    was just confirming her identity. He shoved the box of apples to Sang Yu and asserted, “A box of


    apples isn’t much, but please keep it anyway as my token of appreciation.”


    Sang Yu tried to reject the offer, but the middle-aged man left immediately after he shoved the box to


    her.


    He got into the elevator and before the door closed, he told Sang Yu, “Chief Shen is a good man.”


    Sang Yu was proud to hear that. Of course he is.


    The elevator door closed. Sang Yu stared at the box of apples and thought that it was quite heavy. She


    couldn’t bring herself to throw it away because it was a kind gesture from another person. In the end,


    she brought it back home.


    She ced the apples on the counter after she got in. After that, she fished her phone out of her purse


    to call Shen Peichuan and ask him when he wasing home. Shen Peichuan told her that he would


    be homete because his boss had assigned a tough case to him. He already had his people working


    on it, but the case was tooplicated. The previous investigator had been working on it for over a


    year, but his investigation bore no fruits. That was why it was reassigned to Shen Peichuan.


    Shen Peichuan had just gotten promoted, and Captain Song was the only one who had Shen


    Peichuan’s back. Shen Peichuan didn’te from a powerful family and had to w his way up.


    Hence, the case assigned to him wasn’t an easy one, but everything would be fine if he could solve the


    case. If he failed to do so, others might think that he never should have been promoted.


    That was why he had to work harder.


    Sang Yu cooked for herself that night. After she ate, she showered and went to bed. She was all


    groggy when Shen Peichuan got home. She felt like she had something to tell him, but couldn’t recall


    exactly what it was.


    Shen Peichuan got into bed and held her in his arms so she could sleep well.


    He got a call the next morning. It seemed to be an urgent matter, so he told Sang Yu to grab a cab over


    to her workce before he left for work.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    When Sang Yu headed to the refrigerator to get some milk, she saw the box of apples on the counter.


    Only then did she recall what she had to tell Shen Peichuan. Sang Yu hadn’t had an apple for a while


    and suddenly felt like having one, so she headed over to open the box.


    She peeled the tape off, but there were no apples inside the box. Instead, it contained wads of cash.
