I Want A Lifetime With You

“You—you sharp-tongued vixen!”

Song Zhenyan had not expected Shi Nuan to retaliate. There wasn’t an ounce of respect in the way that the girl had spoken to her. “You insolent witch! How dare you compare yourself to me?”

“No, indeed!” Shi Nuan smiled blandly. “Actually, I must thank you for praising my oratory skills, Mrs. Fu. After all, your son is of the same mind as you!”

“Shut the hell up!” Song Zhenyan slammed the table angrily. “I suppose that you won’t be leaving Yan, then.”

“I don’t have any reason to leave my husband!” Shi Nuan snapped. “Mrs. Fu, I wonder why you’ve even bothered to call me here, for this discussion today. What sort of mother doesn’t want her son to be happy? Yet, I had the misfortune of meeting you, Mrs. Fu. Your desperate attempts to break up our marriage have made me a little confused.”

Song Zhenyan glared at Shi Nuan as though she was looking at her biggest nemesis. “Of course I want my son to be happy and fulfilled. Nevertheless, I’ll never accept you as his wife. Never!”

Shi Nuan had never met Song Zhenyan before this, so she never had the opportunity to get into her bad books. However, upon seeing the malicious look on the older woman’s face, anyone would have thought that the both of them harbored an ancient grudge against one another.

Shi Nuan pursed her lips. “Why not? I’ve never offended you in any way…”

“Take a good look at your own face!” Song Zhenyan spat suddenly. “Why do you think Yan fell for you in the first place? I’ll tell you— it’s because of your face! You—you’re no more than a replacement for her…”

Before Song Zhenyan could finish speaking, there was a loud bang, as someone kicked the door in. Shi Nuan and Song Zhenyan were nearly startled out of their seats. Keeping her wits about her, however, Shi Nuan turned to Song Zhenyan and asked, “Yes, who am I?”

“You are nobody but yourself!”

A hulking figure of a man had appeared in the doorway. His face was clouded over with rage, and the dangerous aura that he radiated sent shivers down the two women’s spine. As he met his gaze to Song Zhenyan’s, his gaze resembled that of an arsenal of knives that were hurtling towards her.

For an inexplicable reason, Song Zhenyan felt petrified at that moment. She got up hastily and gazed at Fu Chengyan, her face entirely white. He is my son, but he is also the man whom I fear the most in the entire world. ”Y—Yan, what brings you here?”

Fu Chengyan refused to shift his gaze from hers. His lips narrowed cruelly, to match the dark expression on his face.

Shi Nuan was no exception, She could feel the anger radiating from him too. Fu Chengyan is certainly furious, this time around.

Fu Chengyan gazed at Song Zhenyan for a long while. A moment later, he finally stepped into the room. With every step that he took, Song Zhenyan felt as though a knife was being plunged, deep into her heart.

Fu Chengyan stopped beside Shi Nuan and placed a protective arm on her shoulder. His arm felt a little heavy, and the expression on his face was still extremely ugly. “Why am I here? Madam Song, I was merely wondering why you’d invited my wife out today.”
