I Want A Lifetime With You

“Huh? Hey, Nuan!” Su Shaoqing came to his senses and smiled goofily at Shi Nuan. “Don’t worry; I’m just fooling around with Chengyan a bit. As Bancheng’s gone, I should get going too.” He shot Fu Chengyan a knowing look before making a hasty departure.

Eyeing both of them suspiciously, Shi Nuan asked Fu Chengyan, “What’s the matter with Mr. Su?”

“He’s gone mad!” Fu Chengyan blurted. “Do you need help?”

“Nope. I saw Mr. Su’s cousin leaving just now, so I decided to come upstairs and check if everything’s alright.” Wearing a pleasant smile, she cast an inquisitive glance at the inside of the study. “What were you guys talking about just now? What’s the thing Mr. Su asked you to tell me?”

A hint of alarm flickered in Fu Chengyan’s eyes. His face stiffened before he sighed. “It’s nothing important. In fact…” He continued after a short pause, “There’s indeed something I need to tell you.”

“Oh?” Shi Nuan raised his brows and stared at him in amusement. “This certainly sounds very mysterious to me.” Looking at the ominous expression on his face, she prompted, “Shoot.”

Fu Chengyan reached for her hand and held it as he dragged her out of the study.

He led her to their bedroom. Staring at the back of his head, Shi Nuan could feel that his breathing was growing ragged. Also, she noticed there was something unusual with the way he behaved too. “Have you been grappling with a tricky issue lately?”

Fu Chengyan let go of her hand and gazed into her eyes. After a long beat, he spoke, “Can you promise me that you will believe in me no matter what rumors people might start feeding you from now on?”

Shi Nuan’s heart lurched when she heard those words of his. Her instinct told her that she was about to face something utterly mind-blowing in the near future. On top of that, it could be something capable of undermining her relationship with Fu Chengyan too.

She tilted her head slightly and stared at him skeptically.

He must be facing some difficult situation that prompted him to say something like that to me. However, she could not make a sound guess of it without having him reveal it to her. “Yan, we’re married. You shouldn’t be held back from sharing things with me.”

“Here’s the thing – you might bump into a person tomorrow at the office.” He stretched out his hands to draw her into an embrace and sighed, “Look, this is one hell of a complicated mess, but… please believe me when I say that I’ll be able to solve it, okay?”

“Hold on!” Shi Nuan placed both hands on his chest and pushed him away gently. With her lips pursed, she scrutinized his face. “You seem nervous.”

Fu Chengyan shook his head in resignation. “Fine, let me just tell you everything. There’s a girl named Shen Qianan who’s an old friend of mine. She’s been handpicked by my family as my ideal wife!”

Color drained from Shi Nuan’s face at once. Clenching her fists tightly, she looked up at him with uneasiness in her eyes. “Is she back in the country now? So, is your family forcing you to marry her instead? Is this the reason why you couldn’t make time to go home with me that day?”

However, whatever the two of you used to have is now a thing of the past, isn’t it? Since you’ve chosen me as your wife, it can only mean that you’ve moved on from your past.
