I Want A Lifetime With You

Shi Nuan broke into laughter and chided, “Drive carefully!”

“Will do!” Fu Chengyan retracted his gaze and stepped on the accelerator.

Back in the parking lot, Shen Qianan strained and contorted her face as she stared after the vehicle that was long gone. She clenched her fists, and for the first time, she had to acknowledge the bitter humiliation she felt. No thanks to Fu Chengyan, of course.

How is that possible?

She recalled her pregnancy three years ago, and how Fu Chengyan had reacted then. Throughout the ordeal, he had remained calm even after finding out that the child wasn’t actually his. Never once had he sought to put the blame on her. Shen Qianan thought that Fu Chengyan would treat her with some kindness. After all, they had spent some time together in the past. But now that someone else had appeared, Shen Qianan realized that the past truly meant nothing.

She bit her lip and made a call before leaving the parking lot.

When Fu Chengyan and Shi Nuan arrived, the Fu clan had already gathered in twos and threes. The banquet this time was a smaller affair, and there were not that many in attendance. Except for the core members of the Fu Clan, everyone else was not invited.

Now, this is a proper family banquet. Of course, that is if Shen Qianan doesn’t show up, mused Shi Nuan.

The couple made their entrance, holding each other’s hands. An astonished servant who saw the display exclaimed, “Young Master Chengyan! Ms. Shi!”

Suddenly, Fu Chengyan stopped in his tracks. He turned around and glanced at the servant and said, “She is my wife, and you will address her as Mrs. Fu. If you can’t remember this, then you needn’t work here.”

There was no mistaking the anger that bubbled beneath his mild demeanor. To him, that servant had committed a faux-pas.

Hearing this, the servant’s face paled, “Young Master… I-I had no idea!” He panicked and looked at Shi Nuan pleadingly. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Fu. Please forgive me!”

Shi Nuan smirked. “There’s always room for improvement, and since this is the first time you’ve made this mistake, I’ll forgive you. A fault confessed is half redressed, after all. But remember, the young master is not very fond of stupidity.”

The servant nodded frantically.

Fu Chengyan glanced at Shi Nuan approvingly. He was happy to let her deal with such matters and found her performance satisfactory.
