I Want A Lifetime With You

I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 48

After reaching a consensus with Fu Chengyan, Shi Nuan went back to bed with a content heart. Fu Chengyan was left alone as he stared at her retreating back. The feelings he had managed to hold back started coming back again.

He wasn’t a gentleman, but he kept giving in whenever it concerned Shi Nuan.

His phone that was left aside started ringing. Fu Chengyan was surprised when he spotted the caller’s name, Li Heng. “What is it?”

Li Heng raised his brows when he heard Fu Chengyan’s cold voice. “It’s been a long night. I’m just calling to say hello.”

Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes at the deliberate provocation. “Did Shaoqing tell you about it?” That was the only possibility. There was no other reason for Li Heng to call him in the middle of the night.

Li Heng’s voice was low as he said, “I didn’t expect you’d married her. Have you thought about it carefully?”

“Of course.” Fu Chengyan stood up and brushed his finger across the tabletop before tapping lightly. “I know what I am doing, and I know my limits.”

“Okay, I won’t say another word. You know I hate being a busybody. Anyway, when are you bringing out to see us?” Li Heng was curious about Fu Chengyan’s wife, whom he married willingly. Although he wasn’t as fond of gossip as Su Shaoqing, he wanted to meet her. “We haven’t contacted Jingxiu in a while!”

Fu Chengyan knew what Li Heng meant. The man was using Shi Nuan as an excuse to meet Pei Jingxiu.

He narrowed his eyes. “We’ll see about that!” Shi Nuan wasn’t ready to meet them. “When it’s time, I’ll bring her to meet you.”

“Okay,” Li Heng nodded. “What’s wrong? Shaoqing told me you were having trouble sleeping alone. Don’t tell me that’s true?” Li Heng asked without fear.

Among the four of them, Fu Chengyan and Li Heng weren’t the closest friends, but they had a unique of talking to each other. They were both evenly matched, so comparison was inevitable. Li Heng was a devious and sly man with an eclectic spirit. Fu Chengyan, on the other hand, was more level-headed, but he was also a cunning fox.

When Fu Chengyan heard what Li Heng said, he replied icily, “I remember Pei Huan…”

“Fu Chengyan, one day you’ll lose to me. Okay, it’s getting late. I’m going to bed.” Li Heng hung up abruptly.

Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes. He had underestimated the speed at which gossip travels, especially when the informant was Su Shaoqing. Fu Chengyan shook his head in resignation and pocketed his phone. He went to the balcony and lit a cigarette while staring at the dark sky.

Shi Nuan had a good night’s sleep. When she woke up, it was already eight in the morning. She hurriedly got out of bed and washed up.
