I Want A Lifetime With You

While Shen Qianan was startled by Shi Nuan’s words, she also had a questioning look on her face. It was the second time she reassessed the woman in front of her as her rival.

The first time was in Fu Chengyan’s office this morning. Initially, Shen Qianan thought Shi Nuan was not different from other women other than the fact that she looked exactly like herself. She figured that Shi Nuan was nothing without her looks.

However, Shen Qianan was wrong. Before she could unleash her attack on Shi Nuan, the latter already made a clap back, which caught her off guard.

Shi Nuan simpered. “It’s always good for one to be accepting of new stuff. Are you so used to brewing your own tea that you don’t want to try mine?”

Shen Qianan sneered. “Ms. Shi, it’s only a cup of tea. Chill, girl!” She took the cup of tea from Shi Nuan and could immediately smell the delicate fragrance of the hot tea. Shen Qianan then took a sip of the tea. There seemed to be a hint of annoyance on her face.

“So, how is it?”

“Not bad!” Shen Qianan didn’t take another sip of the tea. She set the teacup on the table and turned to Shi Nuan. “For the record, I asked you out today because I want to be your friend. After all, Yan and I were… Even though our engagement didn’t last, we are still friends. Also, look at the two of us! We look so alike! We must be fated to meet. Be honest with yourself. Aren’t you curious about me when you first saw me? You really piqued my interest back when I first met you. I don’t have any other agendas for asking you out.”

“I also want to be your friend too, since Yan is your friend. As his wife, I feel like it’s important for us to connect too, don’t you think so?”

Shen Qianan was slightly stunned. “Yes, I agree with you. As long as you don’t misunderstand my intentions. Hmm, I think I need to get going. It’s getting quite late.”

“Should I drive you back?”

“It’s fine! This place is quite close to the Fu Residence. I stay there now. It’s quite convenient, I must say.” Shen Qianan rose to her feet. “Grandpa said he wanted to arrange for a driver to bring me around but I rejected him.”

“If that’s the case, then let me send you off.” Shi Nuan did not insist to send Shen Qianan back home since she didn’t really have the intention to do so. She just offered her a ride out of common courtesy. Shi Nuan figured that if she actually showed up at the Fu Residence, Fu Zhengyun might talk her down in front of Shen Qianan. Shi Nuan was smarter than to let herself be humiliated.

Now that Shen Qianan had left, Shi Nuan sat back down to continue brewing the tea. Very soon, there was a knock outside the private lounge. Shi Nuan paused for a while before answering, “Come on in!”

The man strode into the room on his long legs. He had his jacket in one hand.

Shi Nuan shifted her gaze to that man just in time to meet his eyes.

She continued to make tea. The man hung his jacket over the seat next to her and sat down. All of his attention was on her as she skillfully moved around the tea strainer and the teapots.

Fu Chengyan propped his head on his right hand. His dark eyes were glued to Shi Nuan attentively. Shi Nuan raised her head to look at him. “How long has Mr. Fu been eavesdropping on us girls?”

There was a surprised look on Fu Chengyan’s face. He chuckled softly before taking over the cup of tea from Shi Nuan’s hand. “What do you think?”
