I Want A Lifetime With You

Time came to a standstill. Shi Nuan’s heart was beating quickly and uncontrollably. She suddenly regretted being so impulsive. No matter what, she shouldn’t have said that.

Blushing and keeping her head down in embarrassment, Shi Nuan couldn’t bring herself to look at Fu Chengyan. How could a girl ask such a shameless question?

Fu Chengyan had been staring at Shi Nuan the whole time. Seeing her chain of reactions from saying those words, a smile slowly worked its way into his eyes. He tapped his slender fingers on the table, one after another, as though knocking on Shi Nuan’s heart.

Shi Nuan bit her lip, feeling even more awkward. She had been placed in a completely passive position. No matter what she said, everything seemed to sound very passive. “Uhh… Feel free to ask anything. Don’t take me seriously!”

“But I already did!”

Fu Chengyan’s voice had a hint of jest in it.

Initially, Shi Nuan had already planned to give up. Being embarrassed once was not a big deal, but she never expected Fu Chengyan to respond this way. Instantly surprised, she looked up and stared at him in disbelief. “Huh?”

She thought Fu Chengyan wasn’t being serious. Moreover, from the way he had acted just now, she hardly had much hope. “I… beg your pardon?”

“You heard me,” Fu Chengyan said with smiling eyes. “I’m a person who keeps my word and doesn’t joke around. I said I’d give you time to consider, but since you’ve made up your mind, there’ll be no turning back.”

As he spoke, he was in control of both the situation and her heart from beginning to end.

For some reason, Shi Nuan felt a moment of fear, although that feeling disappeared shortly after.

Shi Nuan tried to force a smile but couldn’t. “I… I just wanted to…”

“You don’t have to tell me your reasons, Ms. Shi,” Fu Chengyan interrupted her. “I’m not concerned about what changed your mind or sped up your decision-making. Things are turning out the way I want and that’s good enough.”

Shi Nuan had no idea how to describe her feelings. Should I entrust my life to him just like that?

“Don’t worry, Ms. Shi. As I’ve said before: marry me and I’ll give you the happiness you want,” Fu Chengyan said as he tapped on the dining table. “If you agree, you can request anything!”

Shi Nuan pursed her lips and thought for a moment. “Can I ask you something, Mr. Fu?”

Fu Chengyan raised a brow and stopped tapping the table. He then spread out his hand slightly, indicating Shi Nuan to speak. Shi Nuan bit her lower lip. “It’s the same question as before: why me?”

Fu Chengyan did not respond and the atmosphere became tense.

He fixed his cold gaze on Shi Nuan, as though trying to search for something, only to retract it in the end. He laughed softly. “Do you really want to know the answer, Ms. Shi?”
