I Want A Lifetime With You

Just before he returned, Fu Chengyan managed to erase the look of pure revulsion on his face. However, Shi Nuan could tell from his brooding expression that something was still bothering him.

While he was outside, Shi Nuan had been chatting with Ning Xin about something funny. The topic had turned to one of Shi Nuan’s friends from her high school days. It was evident that Ning Xin was very fond of Shi Nuan— she had asked her many questions about herself, to which Shi Nuan responded eagerly.

When she saw Fu Chengyan tiptoeing into the house, Ning Xin paused in the middle of her sentence and announced, smiling, “See? I told you that he’d be back soon.”

Shi Nuan glanced up and smiled at Fu Chengyan, her eyes crinkling into tiny crescents. “Yan, you’re back!”

“Yes, I am.” Fu Chengyan had been in a very bad mood upon his return, but Shi Nuan’s smile had caused his worries to melt away in an instant. Grinning back at her, he asked, “What were you chatting with Aunt Ning about? The both of you seem very happy.”

“We were talking about you!” Shi Nuan uttered, giggling. She stood up and reached out for Fu Chengyan’s coat before handing a pair of slippers to him. “Have you sorted out your stuff?”

“Yup!” Fu Chengyan nodded. Caressing the back of Shi Nuan’s head, he pressed forth, “So, what did Aunt Ning say about me?”

“What do you think? Don’t worry, Aunt Ning didn’t say anything bad about you.” Shi Nuan could not help but tease him a little. “In fact, she was praising you the entire time! She had talked so much about you that I started to feel a little jealous.”

“Haha, is that so?” Fu Chengyan patted her shoulders affectionately. “What would you like to eat for dinner?”

“Of course! I made up my mind a long while ago.” As she spoke, Shi Nuan grabbed his hand and rushed over to Ning Xin. As she pushed Fu Chengyan into a seat, Shi Nuan announced, “You must be tired after all of that! Take a seat first. When Aunt Ning and I were returning home, we asked Zhou Zheng to take us on a detour to the grocery store. We had bought lots of household supplies and some cooking ingredients, so you can look forward to a dinner cooked by us tonight.”

“Is that so? You’re so cute today!” Fu Chengyan stretched out his hand to give Shi Nuan’s nose a little pinch. Unfortunately, Shi Nuan slapped his hand away almost immediately as she gave him the stink-eye. He has no sense of propriety whatsoever. ”What do you think you’re doing? Aunt Ning is still around. Sit down here and have a little chat with her while I put your clothes in the wash and whip up dinner for all of us!”

“Alright.” Fu Chengyan smiled as he gazed at Shi Nuan who was rushing upstairs cheerfully. When she disappeared from his line of sight, the smile instantly vanished from his face. Turning to Ning Xin, he said, “Aunt Ning.”

“Has your grandfather already caught wind of this?”

Fu Chengyan nodded. “Aunt Ning, I knew that I wouldn’t be able to keep this from you.”

However, Ning Xin shook her head. “Well, what do you plan to do about this?”

Even without Fu Chengyan telling her, Ning Xin had already guessed what Old Master Fu’s next move was going to be. Old Master Fu has given his entire life to the Fu family, and he has put the family’s prosperity above everything else, in his life. The old man has not only been strict to Fu Sheng and Fu Heng, rather, he has also been the same to Fu Chengyan, his grandson.

Ning Xin had married into the Fu family a long time ago, so she knew how bad her father-in-law’s temper could be. Shi Nuan bears an uncanny resemblance to Shen Qianan, which doesn’t help her cause at all. Although she has been married to his grandson for quite some time, Old Master Fu has refused to acknowledge her as part of the family. He has never spoken a word in praise of her.

In fact, Shi Nuan’s resemblance to Shen Qianan is the main cause of the problems that have recently arisen. When Shi Nuan had first started going out with Fu Chengyan, Ning Xin was no exception, wondering privately whether Fu Chengyan was only taking an interest in her because she looked like Shen Qianan.
