I Want A Lifetime With You

Shi Nuan waited outside until Fu Chengyan returned. When she spotted him, she smiled and took his briefcase from him. “What’s wrong? You seem upset.” Hmm, he seems a little down.

Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes slightly. “Did the Shi family do this to you often?”

“Huh?” Shi Nuan raised a brow. Something occurred to her as she chuckled out loud. “You heard them talking about me?” She seemed unperturbed, as that was what she had been through for the past twenty years. She used to be upset at their mocking words, but now she couldn’t be bothered.

Since the Shi family refused to accept her, she didn’t have to please them. No matter how hard she tried, they wouldn’t change their minds. Why should she bother?

Shi Nuan knew they must’ve mocked her badly if even Fu Chengyan seemed displeased. She held his arm and rubbed her head on his shoulder affectionately. “Forget it. Why are you mad? You need to get used to it. I know they’re not my family, so I won’t get upset anymore. Ignore them. Besides, Grandpa and Granddad love me, don’t they? I’m happy. Back then, I had them. Now, I have you!”

“Look at you. What a fool!” Fu Chengyan shook his head and pinched Shi Nuan’s nose. He uttered affectionately, “You surely have me. I won’t dump you.”

“I know!” Shi Nuan giggled. “I’m stuffed!”

“Me too!” Fu Chengyan brought her out. Zhou Zheng was already waiting for them in the car. “Mr. Fu!”

Zhou Zheng got off the car politely. “I’ve already paid Shi Jingzheng. Where are you heading now?”

Fu Chengyan knitted his brows and looked at Shi Nuan. “Do you want to take a walk or head back now?”

“Let’s take a walk. I don’t want to go home just yet.” Shi Nuan could barely walk as she was so stuffed.

Fu Chengyan grinned and nodded. “Okay. let’s go.” He then told Zhou Zheng, “Leave the car with Jiang Hu. You must be tired. You can leave now.”

“No, Mr. Fu. I’m not tired at all!” Zhou Zheng returned anxiously. “Let’s not trouble Jiang Hu.”

Fu Chengyan arched a brow. “Sure.”

He held Shi Nuan’s hand and left. “Should we enjoy the scenery of Quzhou River? I believe it’s only a few streets away.”

“Okay!” A smile flitted across Shi Nuan’s lips. She felt warm in the cool night breeze as Fu Chengyan’s huge hand held hers. “When I was young, I used to have fun at Quzhou River with Song Rongrong and Su Yian. After graduating, we got so busy with work and rarely had time to take a walk, especially night walks.”

A faint smile appeared on Shi Nuan’s face as she reminisced about her past. It was apparent that she had had a great time back at university. “Song Rongrong is an extrovert and a great friend. Yian was more quiet, like me. When we were at university, it was Rongrong who brought us out every time. We’d buy some barbecue meat and have fun beside the river. It was years ago.” She sighed wistfully.
