I Want A Lifetime With You

“Forget it!” Shi Nuan blushed as she walked ahead, ignoring Fu Chengyan.

The man’s lips curved up in amusement. He caught up to Shi Nuan and told her, “Okay, I won’t tease you anymore. We have to find Mr. George now.”

When they found George, he was urging his assistant to resolve the problem anxiously. Because of the language barrier, they couldn’t communicate well with the ground staff. The luggage must be terribly important because George was obviously fretting about it.

“George!” Fu Chengyan went to the man and stretched his hand out. “Do you still remember me?”

“Eric? Oh, you’re the one who’s supposed to pick me up?” George was excited upon seeing Fu Chengyan. His gaze settled on Shi Nuan almost immediately. “And this is?”

“My wife.” Fu Chengyan conversed with George in fluent French. When George saw Shi Nuan, his eyes sparkled as he exclaimed, “Eric, your wife is gorgeous!”

“Thank you.” Shi Nuan didn’t take French back in university, but because Su Yian was interested in it, she followed her friend to class a few times. She couldn’t understand everything they said, but she had no problem understanding simple vocabulary.

“I’m Shi Nuan. Hello, Mr. George!” Shi Nuan spoke in English. George nodded and switched to English. His English sounded awkward somehow. “Mrs. Fu, you can understand French?”

“A little, but I’m not that fluent. Mr. George, if you don’t mind you can continue using French.” Shi Nuan gave him a smile. “Mr. George, what are you looking for?”

“Well, one of my luggage went missing. My drawings are inside and they are very important. So…” George sighed helplessly.

Shi Nuan nodded and told Fu Chengyan. “You should chat with Mr. George while I go and find out what’s wrong.” After thinking about it, she continued, “It might take a long time, so why don’t you go to a cafe? I’ll come find you later.”

Fu Chengyan’s eyes narrowed. “Sure.” He gave Shi Nuan’s phone back to her. “I’ll be at Starbucks which is just opposite. Call me when you locate it.”

“Okay, I’m not a three-year-old kid!” Shi Nuan gave him a little push. “Don’t make Mr. George wait!”

Shi Nuan found a ground staff to find out what happened. The ground staff told her there was too much luggage, so one or two might get mixed up. The staff was already trying his best to find the luggage, so Shi Nuan remained at the counter to wait for George’s luggage.

Fu Chengyan brought the rest to Starbucks and found a table so they could sit down. He ordered a cup of coffee for George. The architect’s team was small. He only brought his assistant and a young girl along. The young girl couldn’t stop staring at Fu Chengyan the moment she set eyes on him.

Fu Chengyan greeted her politely and continued chatting with George. Both of them weren’t besties, but since George designed two shopping malls for Shengyuan, they had many things to talk about. George admired Fu Chengyan’s talent, knowledge, and leadership.
