I Want A Lifetime With You

“Why are you spaced out?”

Shi Nuan walked over and passed Fu Chengyan his coat. “Put it on! I know you’re strong, but the weather has been very cold lately. So, it’s better to put on a few more layers to prevent yourself from falling sick during the New Year. It would be unfortunate if that happens.”

Shi Nuan had a lot to say today as she kept chattering on and on beside Fu Chengyan. She seemed like a magpie that chirped non-stop. Fu Chengyan didn’t find it annoying. Rather, he found it quite soothing.

When Shi Nuan saw Fu Chengyan spacing out, she couldn’t help but laugh. She opened up his coat and put it over his shoulders. Fu Chengyan reached out and held her hand while smiling at her lovingly. He patted her hands and said, “May, do we look like we’re wearing couple outfit?”

Couple outfit?

Shi Nuan hesitated a moment before looking at Fu Chengyan’s coat and then back at hers. She couldn’t help but burst out in laughter. “It appears so!”

“Let’s go!” Fu Chengyan’s tone grew gentler. He held Shi Nuan’s hand and they walked out together.

They went to pick up Ning Xin at the Fu residence. It was a lot more peaceful now without Song Jingyu around. Shi Nuan waited in the car for Fu Chengyan as he entered the house to pick Ning Xin up.

Ning Xin was all dressed up and waiting for them. When she heard a car turn in, she walked towards the entrance and saw Fu Chengyan coming in. “I heard a car and guessed that it was you.”

“Aunt Ning.” Fu Chengyan helped to support her. She said, “I hope it’s not too much trouble for you to accompany us two ladies out!”

“Of course not!” Fu Chengyan laughed. “I’ve not been very busy and was at home with May anyway. She must have been bored staying with me the whole day, that’s why she invited you out!”

“Oh, you’re such a sweetheart!” Ning Xin couldn’t help but shake her head. “Don’t think that I don’t know you.” She knew he was just being nice. It was obvious to her that they were very much in love with each other. Shi Nuan was definitely not feeling bored. “I think she is more worried about me being bored at home!” Ning Xin added.

Fu Chengyan just smiled. “Aunt Ning, mind the steps!”

As Shi Nuan was waiting in the car, she chatted with Su Yian and Song Rongrong within their group chat to pass the time. In a short while, she saw Fu Chengyan and Ning Xin come out. She opened the door and greeted, “Aunt Ning!”

“Oh! Nuan, you child, get in quick!”

Ning Xin didn’t forget that Shi Nuan and Fu Chengyan’s relationship was still a secret. She was worried that Shi Nuan would be seen by one of the servants, as they were still at the Fu residence.

Shi Nuan laughed instead, and retreated into the car. “Aunt Ning, I hope I’m not disturbing you by asking you out!”

“How could you think that? I can’t be happier when you invited me out! Your uncle has been busy recently. Why don’t I go to Wutong Residence for the next two days? I hope I won’t be in the way!”

“Of course not!”
