I Want A Lifetime With You

Which incident from this morning? Is this about Shen Qianan bringing her kid to work? wondered Shi Nuan. Shi Nuan raised an eyebrow and said, “Indeed. Apparently, someone brought their kid to work today.”

Hearing Shi Nuan’s tone made Fu Chengyan breathe a small sigh of relief. Knowing that she wasn’t upset, he relaxed a little. “Shall we go back to the Fu Residence?

“Okay!” she replied enthusiastically.

Ever since the Fu clan knew of Shi Nuan’s existence, she had not taken extra measures to avoid them. In fact, she was quite composed in spite of the incident at Fu Zhengyun’s birthday banquet. Shi Nuan smirked, satisfied at her performance overall.

“When are we going tonight?” she asked. Since Fu Zhengyun had already made clear his dislike of her, she reckoned that any more forbearance on her part would just worsen her status in the family.

“After work. I’ll come pick you up!”

“Very well.” Shi Nuan hung up and noticed that Yuan Jia was staring at her with a very odd expression. She reached up and gave Yuan Jia a playful shove, saying, “Alright, back to work with you!”

It was the Fu clan’s family banquet tonight. Having not disclosed the nature of their relationship before, Fu Chengyan had never brought Shi Nuan to family gatherings. Even though the family found out later, Shi Nuan was not on good terms with Fu Zhengyun, and so she did not attend. However, she refused to compromise this time.

Now that Shen Qianan If she had to tolerate any more grievances, she might be seen as a doormat to be bullied by everyone else in the family. After all, such incidents had occurred in the past.

Finally, Shi Nuan got off work and went to the underground parking lot to wait for Fu Chengyan. To her surprise, she ran into Shen Qianan instead. Shen Qianan also noticed Shi Nuan in the distance and greeted her amicably in spite of her look of astonishment.

Shi Nuan raised a finely plucked brow and coolly said, “Actually, you should address me as Mrs. Fu.”

Hearing that, Shen Qianan’s face paled slightly. “Ah, look at how forgetful I am. You did marry Yan, after all.”

“You’re quite busy with your personal affairs, and forgetting is natural after all. But of course, Ms. Shen, surely you’re familiar with the three strikes rule? Do you wish for people to gossip about your terrible memory at such a young age?”

“Why are you being so aggressive toward me, Ms. Shi? Everything between Yan and me is all in the past! What happened that day was just an accident! You guys are fine, right? If you still harbor resentment toward each other over the misunderstanding, then I have committed a grave sin indeed.” Shen Qianan hurriedly tried to explain herself. The mild expression on Shi Nuan’s face frustrated her to no end.

Flustered, Shen Qianan tried again. “Look, you’ve reconciled with Yan, haven’t you? Why else would you be waiting for him here now?”

Every word that fell from Shi Qianan’s lips piqued her curiosity. Shen Qianan was unable to tell what Shi Nuan was thinking. Somehow, both Shi Nuan and Fu Chengyan are similar in that regard. Unpredictable and
