I Want A Lifetime With You

Shi Nuan frowned for just a second before her smile returned. “Nice to meet you, Ms. Shu,” she uttered, sticking her hand out for a handshake. Instead of reciprocating her actions, Shu Qing merely continued to stare at her.

Shi Nuan’s hand hovered in mid-air, her smile still plastered on her face.

It caused Shu Qing to shiver, and she suddenly found herself at a loss for words.

It’s Shi Nuan! It’s that…

Shu Qing turned around and tried to leave, only to be dragged back by her manager. “What the hell are you doing?” he growled into Shu Qing’s ear. “This is the lady boss of Shengyuan Group, the largest shareholder of Xinhuang! Can’t you keep it down?”

Shu Qing’s face paled. “It’s you!” she gasped.

Shengyuan Group… Xinhuang Entertainment… Why are they under Shi Nuan’s control now?

Oh, wait… Isn’t Fu Chengyan the CEO of Shengyuan Group? He was the one that Shen Qianan was supposed to marry…

With that, the fear in her eyes was gone, replaced by a chilling coldness. “Ms. Shi,” she responded.

Instead of addressing her as Mrs. Fu, she went ahead and referred to Shi Nuan by her maiden name.

Everyone gasped in surprise, confused by Shu Qing’s attitude toward Shi Nuan. They had already noticed how the two of them resembled each other, but they could not figure out why Shu Qing was acting in such a manner in Shi Nuan’s presence.

Shi Nuan, on the other hand, knew everything. She was still smiling, but Shu Qing’s glare sent shivers down her spine. “It’s fine. You may call me whatever you wish. Please take a seat, Ms. Shu.”

You’d better sit down, or I’ll take it as an insult toward myself and my companies.

The executives from Xinhuang trembled in their seats. Since when did Shi Nuan become the top shareholder? Isn’t she the wife of Fu Chengyan?

Everyone had been bewildered when they found Shi Nuan and Zhou Zheng in the CEO’s office that morning. They had anticipated an announcement from Zhou Zheng, but none of them had expected to witness Shi Nuan being sworn into office.

The truth was, most of them had questioned her identity before, but they were still shocked to find out about her new post in the company.

Everyone respected Shi Nuan, but Shu Qing did not seem to care at all.

Shi Nuan seemed unfazed by Shu Qing’s rudeness. Upon placing her orders with the waiter, she smiled at everyone present and urged, “No need to feel uncomfortable around me. I’m a newbie in the entertainment industry, so I’ll need all of your help from now on.”

Her words sounded like music to everyone’s ears, which was a breath of fresh air from the CEO and Zhou Zheng’s way of speaking.
