I Want A Lifetime With You

After a long silent moment, Fu Chengyan finally nodded in approval. “What do your parents think about this?”

“Don’t worry. I’m sure they’ll be thrilled to have Nuan as their goddaughter. Even if they don’t, I can always go to my aunt for help.” With a smile, Su Shaoqing added, “Don’t forget that my cousin still owes you one. Perhaps, it’ll be better for Nuan to be my aunt’s goddaughter because they’ve got the Jiang family backing them up.”

Keeping his eyes downcast, Fu Chengyan got lost in thought for a moment before he agreed, “I’ll leave it to you then.”

“Of course! Isn’t it nice to have a brother-in-law like me?”

Fu Chengyan shot Su Shaoqing a stiff smile that sent a tingling sensation creeping over the latter’s scalp. “Nuan is younger than me, isn’t she? After she becomes my mother’s goddaughter, she’ll be my god sister. That naturally makes me your brother-in-law! Why are you looking so upset hearing that?”

Fu Chengyan sneered, “I’m just worried that the title might stress you out eventually!”

Pursing his lips, Su Shaoqing countered, “Don’t try to threaten me because threats don’t work on me.”

“Enough, you both!” As the two started bickering with one another, Shi Nuan spoke in a resigned tone in an attempt to mediate their argument, “I know both of you are doing this for my good! Mr. Su, I don’t even know how to express my gratitude for you.”

Shi Nuan was really thankful for Su Shaoqing, who always came to her rescue in the nick of time. Although she knew he did not do that solely for her sake, she still saw the need to express her appreciation for his help. “By the way, I remember speed dialing Mr. Su when I was on my way to the mansion earlier. Yan, how come you…”

“Why was I there too?” Fu Chengyan chuckled. “I must say that it was a smart move speed dialing Shaoqing.”

“Didn’t you tell me before to do so once I found myself in danger?” Shi Nuan had been bearing his advice carefully in mind all the time. “Before I left with your grandfather’s men, I asked Mr. Lin to inform you about my whereabouts. But, I only remembered that you had gone out for work at the time, so I was worrying that Mr. Lin might not be able to reach you.”

“Yes, Lin Yu did visit my office earlier today.” Fu Chengyan nodded his head in agreement. “I’m sorry. It was my oversight that caused you the trouble.”

Ever since the moment he was suddenly asked to attend to some work outside in the morning, he had had a premonition that something bad might happen to Shi Nuan.

His family had been behaving unusually low-key since his mother visited Shi Nuan. That was certainly not his grandfather’s style of doing things – that was unless he was waiting for an opportune time to execute his plan. Fu Chengyan’s guess had been proven right when he received a call from the customs early that morning, informing him that a batch of his goods had been seized. He had no choice but to settle the issue himself because none of his subordinates were capable of solving it.

As he happened to switch off his phone in the midst of the negotiation with the customs people, he had missed the call from Lin Yu.

Meanwhile, Zhou Zheng had received a call from Jiang Hu when he was waiting for Fu Chengyan outside the customs. The bodyguards who had been secretly protecting Shi Nuan reported that she had been brought to the seaside mansion by Old Master Fu. As soon as Zhou Zheng got hold of the information, he immediately passed it on to Fu Chengyan.

“You did the right thing by calling Shaoqing.” The moment Su Shaoqing got the call from Shi Nuan, he immediately started tracking down her location using her phone signal. As her phone had been kept inside her bag, the phone call had remained connected all the time. Thanks to that, it only took him a short time to locate her and rush his way to her rescue.

After having detected her phone signal from the same location for quite a long time, he confirmed the exact bearings and took the risk to make his way over there. To his surprise, he saw Old Master Fu at the seaside mansion he had arrived at.

“Your grandfather was behaving really weird when I got there. It looked like he was having some sort of negotiation with Nuan at the time. The things he said were nothing but a truckload of crap.”
