I Want A Lifetime With You

The Shi family had always gathered during New Year’s eve as with tradition, but they chose to gather earlier this year. This was done to accommodate Shi Wei, who had to spend New Year’s eve with her in-laws. Going forward, Shi Jingzheng and Jiang Yu decided they would have their family gathering before New Year’s Eve.

Shi Nuan had no problem with the decision as it didn’t matter to her. If given a choice, she preferred not to be there. The only reason she attended was that she was obliged to do so as a member of the Shi family and because of her close relationship with Shi Yunsheng. No matter how much she hated it, she would still visit nonetheless.

Shi Nuan didn’t want to go empty-handed so she went shopping. It was customary to bring presents for the New Year family reunion. As Shi Nuan’s relationship with Fu Chengyan was still a secret, both of them couldn’t go out together. But Fu Chengyan refused to let Shi Nuan go out alone, so he tasked Su Shaoqing to be her porter instead.

A porter was just Fu Chengyan’s way of sugarcoating it. In reality, Su Shaoqing was supposed to carry all her shopping bags. Fu Chengyan pampered Shi Nuan so much that he wouldn’t allow her to do anything that would require any actual effort. Su Shaoqing felt pathetic that he had to go along with it.

At that moment, Shi Nuan was buying up gifts non-stop while Su Shaoqing’s hands were filled with all sorts of bags. He wanted to complain but didn’t dare do so. He could only stare at the petite figure in front of him darting around.

Shi Nuan enjoyed shopping for the New Year, despite the fact that she didn’t like the members of the Shi family. Nevertheless, she loved her granddad and was looking forward to seeing him. Hence, everything she bought was suited for the elderly. She also picked out some high-end electronic gadgets for him.

Shi Yunsheng always said that he didn’t need health supplements, but Shi Nuan bought them anyway due to her filial love for him.

Shi Nuan had spent the whole afternoon shopping before she remembered that Su Shaoqing was with her. She was shocked when she turned and saw him with his hands full of shopping bags. She held out her hand embarrassed. “Su, I think I can carry some of those!”

Su Shaoqing squinted and said, “No, you’d better not. If Chengyan knows that I mistreated you, it will be the end of me!” Su Shaoqing then laughed wryly as he looked at Shi Nuan. “Besides, how much more are you going to buy?”

This was the first time Su Shaoqing felt the full force of a woman’s shopping spree. Shi Nuan bought a lot of things that Su Shaoqing thought were unnecessary.

Shi Nuan shook her head awkwardly. Just as she was about to say something, her phone rang. “Granddad?”

“Nuan, where are you?” She could hear Shi Yunsheng’s familiar voice over the phone. “It’s getting late, why are you still not here?”

“I’m coming now, I’m already on my way!” Shi Nuan laughed. “Granddad, please wait a while longer!” Shi Nuan ended her call before turning to Su Shaoqing. “Sorry for the trouble, Su. I shouldn’t have involved you in all this in the first place.”

“Don’t mention it. But I still feel that you can’t hide forever. Sooner or later you will need to tell everyone. You just can’t keep using me as a substitute!” Su Shaoqing shrugged his shoulders helplessly. “Let’s go; your grandfather can’t wait anymore!”

“Sure!” Shi Nuan nodded. They drove to the Shi residence after settling the bill.
