I Want A Lifetime With You

Fu Chengyan was about to speak when the door to the room opened. Shi Nuan walked in with a packet of tea leaves. Her gaze darkened when she noticed Fu Chengyan’s hesitation. “Granddad, Yan!”

Shi Nuan sat down beside Fu Chengyan. “What were you talking about?”

“What else other than the two of you?” Shi Yunsheng changed the topic a little unnaturally. And in their following conversations, no matter how hard Shi Nuan tried, he always avoided her questions. But the more he avoided, the more curious and determined Shi Nuan was to find out the story behind her birth. Because Shi Yunsheng would not say anything, Shi Nuan couldn’t do anything about it either.

It was a good thing Fu Chengyan was there to help mediate the awkward atmosphere.

On the way back, while he was driving, Shi Nuan sat in the passenger seat silently with her head down. Anyone could tell that she wasn’t in a good mood. Fu Chengyan didn’t start a conversation. He played a song to ease the strange vibe between them.

In the end, it was Shi Nuan who couldn’t stand it and spoke up first. “Don’t you have anything to ask me?”

Fu Chengyan held the steering wheel with one hand and looked over to Shi Nuan. His gaze was calm as if nothing could faze him. He reached out and squeezed her hand gently. “I said I’ll wait until you’re ready to speak up. Take your time.”

Shi Nuan’s eyes flashed, and she pushed Fu Chengyan’s hand away for the first time. She looked out the window and waited for several minutes before saying, “You’ve known for a long time, haven’t you?”

“What?” asked Fu Chengyan.

Shi Nuan pursed her lips. “About my birth and my relationship with the Shi family!” Shi Nuan was getting agitated, feeling that Fu Chengyan was just playing dumb. She felt humiliated.

“May!” Fu Chengyan interrupted Shi Nuan’s thoughts and sighed, “I’ve already told you. I don’t care what your family name is. I only care about you and that you are my wife. That’s all that matters.”

Shi Nuan turned to look at Fu Chengyan, her eyes wet with tears, but she refused to cry.

Shi Nuan bit her lips and gave a pained smile. “When did you know?”

“Not too long before you.” Actually, he was only making guesses before. He had no evidence to prove it. It wasn’t until that day when Shi Nuan broke down did Fu Chengyan conclude his guesses were correct. And yet, he still had no proof.

Shi Nuan hung her head low. “I’m so pathetic. The things I’ve been chasing after weren’t even mine to begin with. No wonder they were never liked me. It’s all clear now. I’m not their biological daughter.”
