I Want A Lifetime With You

Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes but his gaze was still upon Shi Nuan, completely ignoring Fu Xicheng in the process. This made Fu Xicheng feel rather awkward, as he did not know what to say at all.

Sensing the subtle unease in the atmosphere, Shi Nuan said, “Mr. Fu? Why are you here?”

Fu Chengyan’s lips curled up slightly as he said, “I was just having a chat with Old Mr. Shi where he brought you up, Ms. Shi.” He barely responded to her question, but she understood his meaning immediately. “You are good friends with my Granddad? He had just given me a call just now, asking me to join him.”

“In that case, shall we?” Fu Chengyan said while Shi Nuan nodded hurriedly. “Yes, let’s go!”

Of course Fu Xicheng was not about to let Shi Nuan leave so easily. “Nuan!” He called out to her. “You promised to talk this through with me.”

Shi Nuan frowned at him. How could he still not give up, even with Fu Chengyan’s appearance?

Fu Chengyan’s eyebrows raised slightly at that. Despite his mounting domineering aura, his expression remained unchanged. He then looked sharply at Fu Xicheng and said brusquely, “If I remember correctly, you are getting married to the eldest Ms. Shi today. Instead of being at the hall as you should, here you are disturbing your sister-in-law? That’s rather strange, don’t you think?”

His tone was rather flat, but still sounded authoritative nonetheless. This was especially so with the elevated pitch in his final sentence, which gave more effect to his authoritative presence.

Fu Xicheng’s heart thumped. Something felt strange, but he could not put his finger to it.

He looked at Fu Chengyan and Shi Nuan who were standing side by side. They weren’t exactly stuck to each other, but there was not much distance between them either. Next to Fu Chengyan, Shi Nuan looked even more petite than ever, and the two of them looked strangely perfect for each other whilst side by side. A sense of crisis then rose within Fu Xicheng.

Fu Xicheng’s gaze fell upon the two of them. Even though he was not happy about it, he knew very well that Fu Chengyan had stated the truth. “I….”

“It’s getting late, and I don’t think it’d look very good if the bridegroom is nowhere to be seen at the banquet hall.” Fu Chengyan said as he glanced at Shi Nuan. “Ms. Shi, shall we go?”

Shi Nuan nodded. “I haven’t seen my Granddad for a while.”

“Timing is perfect, because your Grandpa Jiang Shizheng is there too.” There was now a hint of gentleness in Fu Chengyan’s otherwise cold voice. “They are both so superb at chess, they make me feel ashamed of myself.”

Shi Nuan looked up to his eyes and said teasingly, “Mr. Fu, you are too humble! Both my grandfathers are just playing around, how could they compare to you?”
