I Want A Lifetime With You

“Lin?” George nodded. “He was my student, but he had left France some time ago. Ms. Shi, do you know him?” George’s gaze had changed, especially when Shi Nuan nodded in reply. “Great! I haven’t met Lin in a while. I wonder how he is right now.”

“He’s doing well!” Shi Nuan smiled. “Mr. George, your last trip to China must’ve been a while ago. Lin Yu is working in Shengyuan Group now. He’s my superior,” Shi Nuan told him. “Mr. Lin was supposed to be here today, but he had been feeling unwell recently, so he couldn’t make it.”

“That doesn’t matter. We can meet another day.”

When they were chatting, Zhou Zheng had already driven the car to the neighborhood. As they needed a pass to enter, Shi Nuan took out the pass she had prepared earlier and handed it to the security. “Number 1808.”

“Oh, is this Mr. Fu? Mr. Fu hasn’t been here in ages.” The security knew Fu Chengyan well. To be exact, those who lived in this neighborhood had to be verified before they could move in.

After the security let them in, Shi Nuan handed the pass to George. “This is one of my husband’s villa, but no one lives here. Mr. George, you can stay here without any worries. I’ve already prepared the toiletries.”

They out of the car as Zhou Zheng helped them bring in the luggage like the assistant he was. Shi Nuan fell behind as she was chatting to George about Lin Yu. It seemed like George liked Lin Yu a lot, because the man was delighted to talk about him.

Shi Nuan unlocked the door, and they went in. Zhou Zheng brought George, Dani, and the assistant to their upstairs while Shi Nuan went to the kitchen to check it out. Luckily, Shi Nuan had already sent someone to clean the place up and restock the refrigerator with fresh ingredients last night.

“Hey, who’s this?”

Shi Nuan heard a familiar voice and turned to see Su Shaoqing leaning against the doorframe. The man’s arms were folded across his chest as he shot a smile at her.

Su Shaoqing was surprised to see Shi Nuan here, and vice versa. “Mr. Su?”

The man arched his brows. “Yes. Why are you here?” Su Shaoqing walked over to Shi Nuan and studied the place. “I was wondering why someone suddenly showed up at this villa after it had been left empty for two years. I thought Chengyan has finally see the light. Where is he?”

“He isn’t here. He went to see Li Heng.” Shi Nuan gazed at Su Shaoqing. “Why are you here?”

“Here, see that?” Su Shaoqing brought Shi Nuan to the villa’s entrance and pointed at a villa not far away. “That’s me, number 1806. Back then, when Li Heng finished developing this area, he gave us one villa each. That’s mine, and Jingxiu’s villa is right beside mine. But Jingxiu and Chengyan never stayed here. Li Heng rarely comes by too.”

Realization dawned upon Shi Nuan. “So you don’t stay with your family?”
