I Want A Lifetime With You

Shen Shixiu’s eyes were filled with rage. He glared at Shen Qianan as if they were going to shred her into bits.

Shen Qianan was intimidated by the terrifying look on Shen Shixiu’s face. The howling wind outside brought a gush of hot air into the car through the window. In an instant, Shen Qianan felt as if she had plummeted into hell.

She straightened her back. Her eyes were trembling with horror and a bit of grit.

Shen Shixiu cackled all of a sudden. “Who the hell do you think you are?”

Shen Qianan shuddered. “How do you think Fu Chengyan will react if he knows you like Shi Nuan?”

“What do you think?” Shen Shixiu’s eyes swept at Shen Qianan disdainfully. “You think he can do anything to me?”

Shen Qianan bit her lips while Shen Shixiu looked in another direction. “You have no right whatsoever to comment on my feelings for Shi Nuan!”

“Shen Shixiu, you’re afraid too, right? I never thought that you are such a pretentious man. I look very much the same as Shi Nuan. Do you not hate her whenever you look at her, just like how you hate me?”

“How can I ever hate her?” Shen Shixiu sneered, “Sure, you guys might look the same, but what matters is on the inside.”

“What do you mean?” Shen Qianan’s face was pale.

Shen Shixiu rolled his eyes at Shen Qianan. “It means while she has a heart of gold, yours is made of coal.”

“Mr. and Ms. Shen, we’ve reached the hotel.”

Jiang Zhan parked the car in front of the hotel’s entrance. He turned his head to look at Shen Shixiu and Shen Qianan and noticed the crackling tension in the air. He coughed dryly. “It’s about time for dinner. Do you guys want to dine in the hotel or…”

“I am not eating!”

Shen Qianan cranked open the doors forcefully and stormed off with Yu with so much haste as if she were running away from Shen Shixiu like he was infected with a pandemic.

“Mr. Shen?” Jiang Zhan stared at Shen Shixiu in the backseat, whose eyes were fixated on Shen Qianan as she marched into the hotel. He paused for a second before speaking, “Mr. Shen, perhaps you should tell Ms. Shen…”

Shen Shixiu’s hateful eyes darted at Jiang Zhan and immediately the driver went silent. Jiang Zhan then got off the car and opened the door for Shen Shixiu. “Sir, are you eating at the hotel?”

“You head up first. Order some food for her.”

Jiang Zhan nodded and gave Shen Shixiu the car keys. “Sir, where are you going? It’s getting late.”
