I Want A Lifetime With You

“Impossible?” Shen Shixiu stared at Shen Qianan coldly. “Fu Chengyan knew Shi Nuan long ago! Do you really think his love for her would have grown so much within half a year?” Shen Qianan turned pale upon hearing Shen Shixiu’s words and staggered a step or two back until her legs hit the sofa. Grasping onto the sofa arms for support, she said through clenched teeth. “You are bluffing. How do you know all this? You must be lying to me!”

“Do I have to lie to you? I have done a thorough investigation before coming here. But if Fu Chengyan likes you in the slightest bit, I will spare no effort to help you. After all, it will benefit the Shen family if both of you marry. However, the truth is he does not like you, and that’s the reason why I won’t help you out.”

“I don’t believe you!”

Shen Shixiu knitted his brows and made a call to Jiang Zhan. “Give the information we have gathered to me.”

Jiang Zhan joined them swiftly and gave the document to Shen Shixiu.

Shen Shixiu flipped through the document and passed a page to Shen Qianan. “Take a look yourself. See if I’m lying to you!”

Shen Qianan took the document with trembling hands. Her fists clenched tightly as she skimmed through the contents on the paper. “No… This is impossible!”

“Fu Chengyan is a student of Shi Nuan’s grandpa. I bet you didn’t know that, did you? Do you think that a man like Fu Chengyan will fall in love so easily?”

Shen Qianan’s eyes clouded over. “But Yan used to treat me…” Yes, Fu Chengyan used to treat me very well and accede to my request no matter what I asked. And during all those years, he kept quiet whenever I claimed to be his fiancée. I regarded his silence as a tacit admission of his love for me.

Now, Shen Qianan felt like she was the greatest fool on earth.

So it turns out that he has never loved me. He has treated me so well only because I bear a strong resemblance to Shi Nuan.

A gloomy look fell over Shen Qianan’s face. She staggered backward in a dazed state and fell onto the sofa. Her entire body was shivering, but she was still grasping the paper in her hands tightly.

I can’t accept it. I can’t accept the fact that I have been wrong all these years. So it was because of Shi Nuan that Fu Chengyan had treated me so well back then. And he had used me to rid of all the women around him for so many years! So… Fu Chengyan did not ask me anything during that time when I was kidnapped because he did not care about me? To think I have thought that it was because he wanted to protect me!

Shen Shixiu shook his head resignedly at the sight of the desolated Shen Qianan. “Fu Chengyan knew Shi Nuan long ago. So it is not surprising that he has married her. He treated you so well only because you resembled Shi Nuan, and having you around would help deter other women from approaching the single him back in the day. After all, you have saved his life before, hence he has promised to take care of you for your whole life on the condition that you do not break his principles. I guess you have forgotten about that condition?”

So this is it…
