I Want A Lifetime With You

Lin Yu’s expression looked off. He felt a little on edge when Shi Nuan stared at him in that manner, but he still replied, “Oh, it’s nothing. I tried getting in touch with her lately, but she seemed busy all the time. Perhaps she just didn’t see my texts?”

Revelation shone on Shi Nuan’s face. Ah, Su Yian stopped chatting with Lin Yu in private, so he is looking for her now?

Mischief shone in Shi Nuan’s eyes. She felt that Lin Yu and Su Yian would be great together, so she pretended to be deep in thought. Later, she replied hesitantly, “It’s probably nothing, but some time ago, Yian went to a speed dating convention. I guess she made a few friends there and has been hanging out with them.”

“Speed dating? Friends?”

Lin Yu caught those two keywords. He narrowed his eyes at Shi Nuan and asked, “Did you just say that Ms. Su went to a speed dating convention?” Lin Yu stared at her suspiciously. It was clear that he didn’t think Su Yian to be the type who would speed date people.

Shi Nuan guessed what Lin Yu was thinking, so she sighed and replied, “Yian is not worried about not marrying soon or anything like that, but she couldn’t bring herself to say no to her parents. You know how the previous generation is. They worry that their children will start dating at school. Yet, as soon as the kids start working, the parents start worrying about them refusing to get married. Yian’s parents are like that. They are especially nervous because they know me as well, and when I got married, they became even more worried about Yian. Yian has always been an obedient kid; she always does what her parents ask of her. Although… I guess it’s not a bad thing for her to go to that speed dating convention. She’s single, so it’s good that she’s meeting a few more eligible bachelors, isn’t it?”

Shi Nuan examined Lin Yu’s expression as she spoke. She realized that he looked grimmer than she had ever seen before, and that made her certain that she had guessed right. Hence, she continued, “I heard from Yian that she met a couple of pretty amazing men. They’re not ridiculously rich, but they are still successful individuals. Leading an ordinary life with regular home folks is pretty awesome too, don’t you think?”

“Did you say Yian is currently into a guy?” asked Lin Yu as his face darkened.

“I don’t know if she’s into him because I’ve never met the guy before. Yian probably just meant that she will try developing a rapport and a relationship with him. If she later falls for the guy, Song Rongrong and I will go check the dude out for her. We’re all besties, after all,” shared Shi Nuan.

Lin Yu didn’t actually hear what Shi Nuan said after that. All he knew was that Su Yian was seeing someone, and it looked like the woman was rather into the guy.

“Isn’t it a little irresponsible of her to be with someone despite not having feelings for one another?”

“But it’s not like people can fall in love at first sight all the time, right? Most fell in love after hanging out with one another and developing a rapport. Yian is not a young lady anymore. She should explore and try hanging out with an ideal guy. If they later fall in love then great, but if not, they can just break up. Isn’t that how the current society works?” asked Shi Nuan.

“Oh, so any capable man will do, then?”

“Uh… Mr. Lin, aren’t you getting a little too excited? I mean, isn’t it great that Yian found someone she could be with? Shouldn’t you be happy for her?” asked Shi Nuan as she stared strangely at Lin Yu.

“I… Well…” murmured Lin Yu awkwardly. He didn’t know what was wrong with himself. All he knew was that his interaction with Su Yian had lessened lately, and at first, he thought that he could get used to it. As time passed, Lin Yu found himself in a daze and uncomfortable. It felt like something was missing in his life.

A few days ago, Lin Yu went out of the country to go on a business trip. He bought some souvenirs for Su Yian, so he called and texted her about it. However, Su Yian never responded to anything.

Lin Yu also went to look for Su Yian in person, but he didn’t get to see her either. That was why Lin Yu initiated that conversation with Shi Nuan to test the waters. The former never expected Shi Nuan to give him news that shocking.
