I Want A Lifetime With You

“Have you been enjoying yourself so much that you forgot to come and see me?” Jiang Shizheng shook his head as he pinched Shi Nuan’s nose affectionately.

As Fu Chengyan brought the presents in, he could hear Shi Nuan speak to Jiang Shizheng in an endearing tone. Her face was filled with joy as she greeted him, “Grandpa!”

Jiang Shizheng nodded. “Have a seat!” When his gaze fell upon Fu Chengyan, he stared at him for a moment. He then nodded his head in approval and said, “I thought you would let Nuan come here alone.” He had not expected Fu Chengyan to visit him together with Shi Nuan.

Jiang Shizheng had always disapproved of how they rushed to get married. However, he couldn’t change her mind, so there was nothing else he could do. From Jiang Shizheng’s perspective, Fu Chengyan was no more than just one of his students.

A student that simply performed better than others. This is in contrast to the public perception that placed Fu Chengyan on a pedestal, giving others the impression that he was unattainable. To him, Fu Chengyan had gotten more than he deserved in Nuan.

However, Shi Nuan didn’t see it that way. That was the reason why she had no plans to make their marriage public despite being married for more than half a year. Just the day before, Jiang Shizheng had wanted to visit the Fu residence for the New Year out of courtesy. He sent Aunt Fei to check what the situation was and found out that Fu Chengyan had not visited the Shi residence.

Although Jiang Shizheng didn’t really like the Shi family, he felt that Fu Chengyan was obliged to visit the Shi residence with Shi Nuan now that they were married now. The fact that he didn’t only show that they were still keeping their relationship under wraps. Hence, that was what made Jiang Shizheng upset.

Nevertheless, he felt comforted that Fu Chengyan had made the effort to visit him with Shi Nuan today.

Fu Chengyan’s observational skills were sharp. He could deduce that Jiang Shizheng didn’t approve of his methods just by reading his gaze.

“Missy, Sir, please have some tea!” Aunt Fei brought in some tea and served all of them. She said, “I’m going back to the kitchen since I still have lots to do. Just now, Sir was so happy to hear that Shi Nuan was coming for a visit!”

“Aunt Fei, let me help you!” Shi Nuan said as she followed Aunt Fei back into the kitchen. Fu Chengyan stared at Shi Nuan’s silhouette before smiling at Jiang Shizheng and greeted, “Grandpa!”

Jiang Shizheng snorted coldly. “Join me in the study!”

Fu Chengyan nodded as he followed Jiang Shizheng into his study. Jiang Shizheng observed Fu Chengyan and noticed that he was sat up straight. He didn’t seem to have any fear and wasn’t nervous at all. This was the reason why Fu Chengyan had attracted Jiang Shizheng’s attention then.

In those days, he had a lot of students under his wing. Every one of them was exceptional. Though Fu Chengyan was among the youngest of them, he had the largest presence among all.

“Do you know why I called you here?”

Jiang Shizheng didn’t waste any time beating around the bush. “I understand how you feel about Nuan, but both of you…”

“Why are we talking about this at the table?” Despite her response, Shi Nuan looked towards Fu Chengyan in
