I Want A Lifetime With You

Shi Nuan wasn’t happy for being praised by Fu Chengyan. All she did was force a smile. “So, Fucheng is finished?”

Fu Chengyan thought about it for a bit, then he tilted his head. “Why? Are you feeling sad about it?”

Shi Nuan pursed her lips. “You know I don’t mean it that way.” She didn’t drag her own emotions into this, though she thought this wasn’t the only way. “Must you do it this way?”

“Stay out of the company matters. I can’t tell you everything,” Fu Chengyan said. “You will know about it when the time is right.”

Fine then. Shi Nuan knew it wasn’t as simple as it looked. This wasn’t the only reason that prompted Fu Chengyan to make this decision, so she smiled. “If Fucheng is finished, what should I do?”

“I told you. You’re a smart woman, so you’ll find a better company.” He tapped on his knee. “Take a left turn.”

Shi Nuan snapped out of it and smiled awkwardly. “Sorry. I know I shouldn’t poke my nose into the company’s matters.”

“Nope,” Fu Chengyan looked at her salaciously. “I can tell you if you want to know about it.”

Shi Nuan’s heart raced when she met his fiery gaze, and she gulped. “Thanks but no thanks. I’m not your staff after all.” Shi Nuan ended this topic. Fu Chengyan wasn’t someone who would pester her for answers, so they tacitly agreed not to talk about this.

They agreed that Shi Nuan would be the one to cook after this, but still the man busied himself in the kitchen. Shi Nuan looked at him, something welling up within her. She leaned on the doorstep and hesitated about something. When Fu Chengyan turned around and saw her looking at himself, he lifted his brows teasingly. “Do you need something?”

“Do you need my help?” Shi Nuan pointed at the veggies in the basin. “I can cook, you know.”

“Alright, then wash the veggies.” Fu Chengyan pointed at the vegetable in the basin. “You’ll have a lot of opportunities to cook after this.” He enunciated, then the man looked at her. “Don’t be in such a hurry.”

Shi Nuan froze up. She was holding a lettuce when Fu Chengyan told her that. “Alright then.” Suddenly, someone rang on the doorbell, and Shi Nuan looked at Fu Chengyan, feeling suspicious. “It’s late, so who could it be?”

Fu Chengyan squinted, then he smiled. “Open the door then.”

Shi Nuan nodded. She wiped her hands dry before going to take the door, thinking that it might be one of Fu Chengyan’s friends. However, she was shocked after opening the door, for there was a gigantic creature there. Shi Nuan screamed, then she staggered backward, looking at the man and the dog outside the door.
