I Want A Lifetime With You

“Nuan’s pregnant?” Shen Shixiu froze. He had heard Shi Yunsheng’s entire conversation with Shi Nuan earlier. A complicated look appeared on his face for a brief moment, but he immediately broke into a smile after that. “That’s great. Has the pregnancy been confirmed?”

“Nuan says Yan will take her to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow. This girl… She’s had it rough all her life, so as her grandfather, I’m happy that she’s found herself a man who loves her.” A gentle smile formed on Shi Yunsheng’s face at the mention of his beloved granddaughter. Then, he beckoned Shen Shixiu over. “Are you sure you don’t want Nuan to find out who you are? After all—”

“I’d prefer if she didn’t. I’m just relieved that she’s doing well now. Besides, I’ll be returning to the capital soon, and we may not even see each other ever again. So what’s the point in her knowing?”

Hearing that, Shi Yunsheng shook his head. “Alright then. That’s your choice. But if Nuan ever finds out…” He could already imagine the consequences if Shi Nuan were to ever find out the truth.

“Why worry about the future, Granddad? At least Nuan’s doing great now. That’s what matters the most!”

“You’re right. By the way, does Nuan’s grandpa know you’re back?”

Shen Shixiu nodded. “I’ve met him.”

“And?” Shi Yunsheng knew how much Jiang Shizheng disliked the Shen family. The man would choose not to meet Shen Shixiu if he could. Jiang Shizheng and Shi Yunsheng had gotten into a huge argument back when Shen Shixiu became Shi Yu. Jiang Shizheng had only let the matter go after knowing that Shen Shixiu didn’t harbor any ill intentions against Shi Nuan.

“Honestly, it has nothing to do with you. It’s my fault for dragging you into this, to begin with.” Shi Yunsheng still felt guilty thinking about it. After all, this whole incident really had nothing to do with Shen Shixiu from the start.

Yet, Shen Shixiu’s eyes twinkled slightly. “I willingly agreed to it back then, Granddad.”

“Then what do you intend to do about Shen Qianan?”

“I’ll take her back. She’s part of the Shen family, after all. It’s just that…” Shen Shixiu paused for a moment. “Qianan has no idea, so…”

“I know. In fact, Shen Qianan is a victim too.” Shi Yunsheng couldn’t help but let out a sigh again. “In that case, take her with you. Remember not to let anything happen between her and Nuan.”

Shen Shixiu nodded. “Don’t worry, Granddad.”

Jiang Zhan waited for Shen Shixiu outside Shi Yunsheng’s place. Upon seeing the man come out, the former hurriedly opened the door for him.

Shen Shixiu tossed his coat into the backseat and rubbed his temples upon entering the vehicle. “Fu Chengyan is currently looking into you, Sir,” he heard Jiang Zhan saying.
