I Want A Lifetime With You

Shi Nuan had known the answer before he nodded. After observing Mr. Qin’s reaction towards her, the woman raised her eyebrows and said, “So, the House of Chigu is yours?”

Fu Chengyan laughed before dismissing Zhou Zheng and Mr. Qin with a wave. After the two men left the room, Fu Chengyan unveiled the calligraphy scroll. “Are you surprised?” he asked.

Shi Nuan pursed her lips and glanced sideways at Fu Chengyan. “So, did you intentionally trick me the previous time when we got grandpa his present?” Although she was not angry, the woman had difficulty describing her current feelings.

As he did not deny it, she was unable to get mad at him. “Why are you not answering?” She asked.

Fu Chengyan gave Shi Nuan a meaningful look as he brushed the scroll with his fingers. Tapping on the paper, he explained, “It was your own idea. I was originally thinking of something else when you suggested the House of Chigu,” the man laughed and continued, “I have never bothered with the means, I only care about the outcome.”

Fu Chengyan looked at Shi Nuan with twinkling eyes and a blush spread across the woman’s cheeks. She lowered her head and continued eating as she had nothing else to say.

The next day, Shi Nuan woke up early. As they were going to visit Jiang Shizheng, she wanted to bring her grandpa something else other than antiques, calligraphies or paintings. Needless to say, at the woman’s insistence, Fu Chengyan had started stewing soup at sunrise.

Over at the Jiang family, Jiang Shizheng had already informed Aunt Fei earlier that Shi Nuan would be back today, together with her newlywed husband. Aunt Fei had been working for Jiang Shizheng all this while, but never knew that Shi Nuan had gotten married. As such, she got a shock when she first heard the news but recovered from it quickly. The woman went to the market at the crack of dawn and had been busying in the kitchen preparing food.

Aunt Fei had watched Shi Nuan grow up. Although there were two kids in the Shi family, Aunt Fei was never fond of Shi Wei. When Jiang Yu and Shi Wei came back to visit each year, she could tell that their concern for Jiang Shizheng was just superficial.

Although Aunt Fei was only a servant, she was rather respected in the Jiang family. She had also watched Jiang Yu grow up, but had never taken a liking to the young mistress. However, Aunt Fei always had a soft spot for Shi Nuan.

When Aunt Fei stepped out of the kitchen, she saw Jiang Shizheng reading the papers in the living room. However, he looked distracted as he was taking intermittent glances towards the door.

Jiang Shizheng quickly retracted his gaze when he noticed Aunt Fei looking at him. He glared at the servant as he heard her chuckle. “Go back to the kitchen!”

“Right away!” Aunt Fei answered as she wiped her hands on her apron. Just then, the doorbell rang. Jiang Shizheng stood up halfway, but immediately sat back down again. “Why aren’t you opening the door?” He shouted towards Aunt Fei.

Aunt Fei went and opened the door at once. She was well aware that the old master had been feeling unsettled since morning.

“Missy, Sir.” Aunt Fei opened the door and greeted Shi Nuan and Fu Chengyan, who stood at the doorway with their fingers interlocked. Aunt Fei was surprised only for a moment before opening up a path for them to walk past. “Please come in, Missy and Sir!”
