Shen Peichuan avoided her gaze and said, “Don’t go out. I’ve placed breakfast on the table. You can go have your fill. I’ll hang the clothes.”
Sang Yu tugged at his shirt and asked, “Why are you not looking at me? Are you angry?”
But why? He’s acting weird.
Shen Peichuan replied, “Go eat your breakfast. I’m not angry.”
Sang Yu pouted. “Then why did you wrap me up in this blanket?”
“You shouldn’t be standing out in the open… since you’re not wearing anything.” Shen Peichuan gave a slight cough in an attempt to mask his awkwardness.
“Who said I’m not wearing anything? I’m wearing your shirt, aren’t I? Besides, people would only be able to see my upper body if they look up since the windowsill is so high…”
“Even still, it would be inappropriate…” Shen Peichuan said in a low voice. “Go eat your breakfast or it’ll get cold.”
With that, he strode towards the balcony to hang the clothes.
Sang Yu stared at him. “You’re afraid that someone will see me?”
Shen Peichuan kept quiet as he reached for the laundry rack.
Sang Yu wrapped herself in the blanket, stood up, and head towards the window sill. She leaned against the wall and looked at Shen Peichuan smilingly. “I’m asking you a question. Why aren’t you answering me? Are you afraid that someone will see my body?”
Shen Peichuan turned around. “You’re my wife.”
As the title suggests, I’m the only one who can see all of you.
How could the shirt cover her up? Besides, she was still naked on the inside.
Sang Yu replied, “I know.”
She walked over and wrapped her arms around his neck with a bright smile. “I just like to see you being petty.”
Shen Peichuan was speechless.
He wasn’t petty, he was just…
He was…
“Why aren’t you saying anything? You’re obviously being petty, right?” Her eyes sparkled like the stars when she smiled.
She leaped onto his back and wrapped her legs around his waist. Shen Peichuan quickly held on to her waist as he was afraid she would fall. Sang Yu curled her lips and said, “But I like it. I like to see you being petty because you care for me.”
Shen Peichuan was once again speechless.
Ok fine, I’m petty.
“Are you busy today? Do you have time to accompany me?” Sang Yu wrapped her arms tightly around his neck. Their posture was extremely intimate.
Shen Peichuan pecked her lips. “I’m very busy.”
What he really meant was he doesn’t have time for her today or else he wouldn’t have worked overtime yesterday. He came here to help the police solve a big case. Nothing must go wrong now that they’ve reached a crucial moment. He still had a lot of things to do today.
Sang Yu understood. She felt a little disappointed but was very understanding.
“I know. I won’t disturb you. I’ll wait for you at home then,” Sang Yu said thoughtfully.
Shen Peichuan felt guilty since he didn’t have time for her when she specially made this trip to visit him. “Sang Yu, I’m sorry.”
“This is your job. I understand.” Sang Yu leaned close to his ear. “Do you know? I really admire your work.”
Shen Peichuan carried her into the bedroom and asked, “Just my work? What about me?”
Sang Yu shook her head. “I don’t admire you.”
Shen Peichuan placed her on the bed and said, “Be good. I’ll go hang the clothes.”
Sang Yu grabbed onto his collar and leaned forward. “I don’t admire you. I like you.”
She let go of him after that and head towards the table to have breakfast. Shen Peichuan felt on top of the world. His eyes were filled with warmth as he looked at her and said, “I can take a few days off after this job and spend time with you then.”
Sang Yu sat in front of the table and drank porridge. She said, “We’ll see.” It was normal for him to be busy with his kind of work. She will also be starting her internship soon when he was done with work here. Hence, she wasn’t sure if they would have the time.
It was still too early to tell.
Shen Peichuan received a call and left hurriedly before he could even have breakfast. Though Sang Yu felt disappointed, she didn’t pressure him and stayed at home alone.
Shen Peichuan returned home in the afternoon and brought her food and clothes. He then left without saying much.
Sang Yu understood that she could go out now with her new clothes. However, she realized she had no money on her and couldn’t buy anything.
She took a walk around the neighborhood and returned home soon after. She then cleaned the house and watched television.
B City.
Su Zhan didn’t take the initiative to contact Qin Ya after she left. He wanted to many a time but didn’t in the end.
He hired a fifty-something-year-old helper back home. The help rarely spoke and kept to herself most of the time. However, Su Zhan was pleased with her since she was very hardworking.
Ever since Qin Ya left, Su Zhan spent most of his time at work and always returned home late.
He returned to retrieve a file he had forgotten at home that afternoon. Grandma Su pulled him over. “Su Zhan, let’s have a chat.”
Su Zhan replied, “I still need to work.”
“You’ve been working long hours these days, you’re bound to wreck your body like that.” Grandma Su was genuinely concerned for him.
Su Zhan kept quiet.
“You’re home for a few days now. Where’s Qin Ya?” Grandma Su asked cautiously.
Su Zhan replied coldly, “We’re about to file for divorce now as you wish. Are you happy now?”
“I just wanted you to have a child. I never wanted you to file for divorce. I know you like Qin Ya. I…”
“It’s pointless to say anything anymore now that we’ve reached this point. I’m very busy and need to leave. Call for Aunt Ji if you need anything.”
He left with the file after that.
“Su Zhan…” Grandma Su rolled her wheelchair and watched as the door closed after her. She felt empty since she had no one to talk to in this big house. She couldn’t go out either since her legs were too weak to support her.
