I Want A Lifetime With You

Shen Shixiu stood straight and nodded at Shi Nuan before flashing her a smile. “I guessed you wouldn’t take too long, so I decided to come down first and wait for you.”

Shi Nuan’s lip twitched. He is really unpredictable and seems to have more secrets than Fu Chengyan. Maybe it is because I don’t know him well enough, but he always seems to emit a mysterious aura.

“Ms. Shi?”

Seeing that Shi Nuan did not reply to him, Shen Shixiu smiled. “I won’t force you to show me around the city if you are busy. But it’s such a pity!”

At that, Shi Nuan could not help but smile. “Mr. Shen, please get into the car!”

Shen Shixiu opened the car door immediately and got in. Shi Nuan got into the car as well. “Mr. Shen, aren’t you curious to know what your sister has told me?”

“Do you want to share it with me?” Shen Shixiu turned to look at Shi Nuan quizzically after putting on his seat belt.

Shi Nuan fell silent before saying, “We merely talked about the different ways of life. I won’t bully your sister since you have absolute faith in me.”

Shen Shixiu smiled faintly. “You’re right, Ms. Shi. I’m not from Jiang City, so I will have to trouble you to show me around.”

“You mentioned that you would like to visit Jing University just now, right? Let us head over there now!” With that, Shi Nuan started driving in the direction of Jing University.

It was almost after-work hours, but Shen Shixiu was still immersed in his work and kept absolutely quiet as if he had forgotten that Shi Nuan was in the car with him. During the journey, Shi Nuan could not shake off the feeling that she was his chauffeur, although it was apparent that he did not feel the same way.

Around half an hour later, Shi Nuan parked the car in Jing University’s car park. She said nothing as Shen Shixiu was on a call.

At that moment, Fu Chengyan sent her a text message asking Shi Nuan about their whereabouts. Shi Nuan’s mind flew back to the conversation that she had eavesdropped on in the hotel, which had actually left a great impact on her.

Contrary to what she had told Shen Qianan, there were times when her mind wandered and doubted Fu Chengyan’s words that he had never treated her as Shen Qianan’s substitute. Only now did she realize that Shen Qianan was her substitute.

Smiling gleefully at that thought, she replied to Fu Chengyan’s message immediately: What would you like to eat tonight? Shall I cook for you?

Fu Chengyan had just ended his meeting when Shi Nuan’s message came in. Fu Chengyan stopped in his tracks and raised his head to look at Zhou Zheng and Mai Qi. “You guys go and get the stuff done now!” Fu Chengyan passed the document in his hand to Zhou Zheng.

“Yes!”
