I Want A Lifetime With You

Shi Nuan stayed in the meeting room after Shu Qing left. Zhou Zheng and Xu Yue stood by her side with concerned looks. “Mrs. Fu, why did you…”

The lady raised her hand to halt the question. “I fully expected her not to agree to it. It’s not the contract’s problem- it’s me.” The self-aware Shi Nuan admitted laughingly.

If she were still a delicate young lady, Shu Qing’s words would have scarred her deeply. However, she had since grown and matured, and her ego was no longer that fragile.

Zhou Zheng watched on worryingly at the side. He personally knew a lot about her family background as Fu Chengyan had instructed him to investigate it secretly. Unfortunately, being just a lowly secretary, he had no right to probe further into the matter. Nevertheless, working for Fu Chengyan for a long time did shape his perspective on the issue.

As such, he could not help but feel indignant for Shi Nuan. Yet concurrently, he realized that the lady did not actually need any emotional support- she was already rather mature, beyond what he himself was capable of.

“Alright, it’s getting late. I think that you should return to the headquarters,” Shi Nuan told Zhou Zheng.

“What will you be doing then, Mrs. Fu?” came Zhou Zheng’s question.

Usually, Shi Nuan would be visiting Shengyuan at this hour. Otherwise, she would have met up with Fu Chengyan. “I think I will go on a stroll with Xu Yue!” She turned to Xu Yue and continued, “Since Yan got you to be with me, your schedule shall be determined by me. Don’t worry though, I am a very kind person.”

“Sure thing, Mrs. Fu!” Xu Yue cheered. “Where do you want to go?”

“I haven’t made up my mind. Let’s just head out first. Meanwhile, can you help me tidy up these contracts now? I foresee that the woman shall be back.” Shi Nuan always trusted her instincts. “Anyways, what is Shi Wei doing recently? Did the company give her any new acting offers?”

The query was directed at Qin Hong and Ms. Qin. Ms. Qin replied, “She went ahead to audition for an urban drama, which we did not invest in, and got the gig. There was an official announcement made a few days ago. We originally wanted to take action against her since this was a breach of contract, but Mr. Zhou advised us to close an eye on this issue.”

Zhou Zheng concurred with Ms. Qin’s statement. “It was Mr. Fu’s orders!”

Shi Nuan nodded. “Alright then, we will let sleeping dogs lie.”

Following the exchange, Shi Nuan and Xu Yue departed from the building and headed out.

Frankly, Xu Yue was rather afraid of Shi Nuan initially. Although she had worked on the twenty-seventh floor previously, she barely had the chance to see Fu Chengyan. When Mai Qi, the head secretary, ordered her to be with Shi Nuan, she had no idea who she was. Once Mai Qi told her about Shi Nuan’s actual identity, Xu Yue began to feel apprehensive.

She had imagined that Shi Nuan would be a difficult person to be around. Nonetheless, after a while, she began to realize how wrong her assumptions were.

Tagging along behind Shi Nuan, she watched on as the lady browsed through some luxury goods and bought some children’s clothes at the boys’ section, before heading to the kids’ area.
