I Want A Lifetime With You

Fu Chengyan carried Shi Nuan to the living room. When they reached their destination, he noticed that she only had a pair of slippers that had could not retain heat. He couldn’t help but frown at the sight and ask, “Won’t your feet get cold?”

“Not at all,” replied Shi Nuan, shaking her head. She later saw the annoyance in Fu Chengyan’s dark brown eyes, so she coquettishly lifted her feet and shoved them to Fu Chengyan. She even rubbed her feet while leaving them under his shirt. After that, she said, “See? They’re all warmed up now.”

Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes at her but let her act up, anyway. He pinched her feet a little and realized that they were a little cold, so he scolded, “Never let yourself go cold again.”

“Okay, okay,” promised Shi Nuan. She stuck her tongue out at him and added, “Why did you come home so early today?”

“Because I missed you.”

Fu Chengyan’s voice was a little coarse and sexy, and that made Shi Nuan stunned. Her heart softened, and she reached out to engulf him in her embrace. She truly wished that time would stop. “I missed you too,” said Shi Nuan.

“Yeah,” murmured Fu Chengyan. He enjoyed watching Shi Nuan being coquettish with him, so he stroked her hair and calmed her anxious heart down.

“I should have gone to the office with you today instead,” complained Shi Nuan as she pouted. Fu Chengyan understood what Shi Nuan meant almost immediately after she finished speaking. His hand stiffened while stroking Shi Nuan’s hair. He asked, “What’s wrong?”

His voice sounded full of affection, and Shi Nuan suddenly found herself feeling aroused.

She tilted her head up to see his cleanly shaved chin and Adam’s apple. Shi Nuan didn’t even know what got to her, but her mind went blank, and she reached out to nibble on Fu Chengyan’s neck a little.

Fu Chengyan frowned in pain, but he never made a move to move away. He simply lifted Shi Nuan’s chin and forced her to look into his dark eyes. They shone with the kind of lust that suggested his desire to swallow her whole. Shi Nuan’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly regained her composure and shook her head to clear her mind. She protested, “Ah, you’re so annoying. How could you seduce me like that?”

“Oh, but you’re allowed to seduce me?”

“C’mon, don’t be so mean,” chided Shi Nuan as she snuggled up in Fu Chengyan’s arms, “Yan, I’m scared.”

“What are you scared of?” asked Fu Chengyan. It was the first time he heard her talking in that tone, and that prompted him to pull her head closer to his chest. His hug on her tightened as he stroked her back and cooed, “I’m here to protect you. You don’t need to be afraid of anything.”

Shi Nuan bit her lip and hesitantly shared, “I saw Shu Qing today.”

“Yeah, I know. You went to visit her, right?” replied Fu Chengyan. His soft and warm tone calmed her down a lot.

She blinked and continued resting her head on Fu Chengyan’s shoulder. She then added, “I saw Shen Qianan there.”

When Shi Nuan mentioned Shen Qianan, she felt Fu Chengyan stiffening a little. She paused and asked, “Yan, aren’t you curious about what happened?”

“Yeah, I am. What happened?” asked Fu Chengyan. He knew everything, but he wished for Shi Nuan to tell him anyway. “Tell me. I will stay by your side no matter what happened.”

“Shen Qianan went there to cause a scene, Yan. She said that Shu Qing is the home-wrecker who got between Shen Feng and his wife. She even said that Shu Qing is her biological mother.”

Fu Chengyan felt Shi Nuan’s grip on his hand tightening. She tilted her head up and stared at Fu Chengyan before adding, “What’s your take on that? Shen Qianan looks so much like Shu Qing, whereas I…”
