I Want A Lifetime With You

By the time Shi Nuan came out of the washroom, Zhou Zheng had already left. Shi Nuan tugged on her clothes and set her gaze at Fu Chengyan who was holding a cigarette in his hand but it was not lit. When he saw Shi Nuan, he immediately threw his cigarette away. “What do you want to eat?”

“Was Mr. Zhou here?”

“Yeah. He wanted me to sign a document.” Fu Chengyan turned around to behold Shi Nuan in her entirety.

He knew she was beautiful, but her beauty didn’t stem from her looks but rather from how she composed herself. It was something unique in Shi Nuan alone. Thus, Fu Chengyan could never forget about Shi Nuan even after so many years. Also, it was the reason why he never took a liking for Shen Qianan.

Shi Nuan approached her husband and twisted her torso around. “So, what do you think of my dress?” She slanted her head and grinned. “Thank god my baby bump is still quite small. Or else, I don’t think I can wear any of these shirts Mai Qi had prepared for me.

“You look amazing!” Fu Chengyan extended his arm to usher Shi Nuan into his embrace. “You don’t look fat at all. On the contrary, you are too skinny.”

“Ugh, why are we talking about this again?” Shi Nuan couldn’t help but sigh. “Alright, then I will eat more. I will eat so much that you won’t be able to hug me!”

“I don’t think that will ever happen to you. You are as light as a feather now!” Fu Chengyan scooped Shi Nuan into the air. Shi Nuan was taken aback by Fu Chengyan’s sudden action and frantically wrapped her arms around his neck. “Oh my lord, be more careful, will you?”

“Of course, I will.”

Zhou Zheng and Mai Qi saw the loving couple strode into the elevator and exchanged glances with one another. Mai Qi spoke out of envy, “I sure didn’t know that Mr. Fu could be so affectionate. Ms. Shi sure is a lucky gal!”

“She’s not Ms. Shi anymore! She’s Mrs. Fu, our boss’ wife!” Zhou Zheng corrected in a snappish manner. “Don’t ever address Mrs. Fu wrongly again! If Mr. Fu hears that from you, you are dead meat.”

“Of course I know that!” Mai Qi stuck out her tongue. “But are Mr. Fu and Ms. Sh… I mean Mrs. Fu are actually married?” Mai Qi was Fu Chengyan’s most trusted assistant at work, but it was obvious that she still didn’t know much about Fu Chengyan’s personal life.

Mai Qi knew Shi Nuan and Fu Chengyan were in a healthy and loving relationship, but she didn’t know that the two of them were legally-wedded.

“Then why didn’t Mr. Fu make it known to everyone?”

“Why did he not announce his relationship to everyone?” Zhou Zheng paused for a moment. “I think he’s already made it public, at least to both sides of their families.”

“Mr. Zhou, of course, I’m talking about him announcing it to everyone, not just his family!” Mai Qi was puzzled. If Fu Chengyan and Shi Nuan were actually married, then why did Shi Nuan choose to not announce the status of their relationship? If everyone knew she was the wife of Fu Chengyan, for sure her net worth would be booming.

“Bah, whatever you have in that mind of yours does not apply to Mr. Fu and Mrs. Fu.” Zhou Zheng scoffed. “Don’t try to guess what they are thinking.”

If Fu Chengyan and Shi Nuan’s relationship were announced, Shi Nuan would have to put up with the endless meetings and dinners with all of the important people acquainted with Fu Chengyan. Fu Chengyan would never let Shi Nuan get involved in any of those tiring social life.
