I Want A Lifetime With You

It was a full house now, and almost everyone had arrived. The guests saw Shi Nuan escorting Shi Yunsheng to his seat in a quiet corner while Fu Chengyan and Jiang Shizheng sat down too. Since Fu Chengyan wasn’t someone who could be ignored, everyone’s eyes were on him no matter where he went. Thanks to him, Shi Nuan was the center of attention too.

Everyone was talking about the girl who was holding Shi Yunsheng. Some knew her, so they started discussing among themselves. They noticed Fu Chengyan sitting with Shi Yunsheng and Jiang Shizheng, so they deduced that the two elderly men were trying to match the girl with Fu Chengyan.

When Shi Wei and Fu Xicheng came over, they overheard the conversation and gripped their glasses tightly, distaste apparent on their faces.

“Grandpa, you’re here!” Shi Wei went up to them, holding Fu Xicheng’s hand. She was all smiles. “You’re here too, Nuan.”

Shi Yunsheng and Jiang Shizheng nodded in acknowledgement, but they said nothing. Shi Wei went to stand beside Shi Nuan. “I’m glad you came, Shi Nuan.” She then looked at Fu Chengyan and greeted, “You’re here too, uncle.”

Shi Nuan almost couldn’t hold her laugh in. She looked at Shi Wei, then at Fu Chengyan. Shi Wei was delighted to see Fu Chengyan, and she tried strike a conversation with him, but the man ignored her and didn’t even spare her a glance. That embarrassed both Shi Wei and Fu Xicheng.

Fu Xicheng looked at Shi Nuan and Fu Chengyan. He heard what the guests had said, but he didn’t believe the old master had this idea in mind. Besides, he understood Fu Chengyan’s character – he detested it when people interfered with his business. However, Fu Chengyan’s attitude today baffled him.

“Hello, uncle.” Fu Xicheng then approached him and poured some wine for Fu Chengyan. “Thank you for coming to my wedding.”

Fu Chengyan smiled and glanced over Fu Xicheng. “Congratulations on your wedding,” he replied. Then, the man tapped on the table. “I have to drive home later, so I can’t drink any alcoholic beverages. Zhou Zheng!”

The moment Fu Chengyan called him, Zhou Zheng replied, “Mr. Fu.”

With just a look from Fu Chenyan, Zhou Zheng took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Fu Xicheng. “This is Mr. Fu’s gift for you, Ms. Shi and Mr. Fu. Congratulations on your wedding.”

Fu Xicheng and Shi Wei looked at each other before accepting it. “Thank you, uncle.”

Fu Chengyan nodded. “It’s your wedding, so you should entertain the guests. Don’t spend too much time on me. I’ll talk with Mr. Shi and Mr. Jiang.” With that said, he turned away and ignored the pair.

Fu Xicheng noticed the obvious ‘leave us’ Fu Chengyan was hinting at. The man looked at Shi Nuan, reluctant to leave, but he saw that Shi Nuan too paid him no heed. It angered him further, but he suppressed his fury as there were many guests around, witnessing this exchange.
