I Want A Lifetime With You

Su Shaoqing broke the silence as things were about to get awkward between the old man and the young woman.

He asked, “Grandpa, how can you bring Grandma’s jade pendant with you everywhere you go?”

“Am I supposed to inform you of every decision I make in my life? Your grandmother has never traveled abroad back in the day. I bring it along with me because it feels as though she’s still by my side.”Su Yumin suggested once more,

“Nuan, why don’t you keep this?”

His so-called granddaughter gulped and turned him down. “Old Master Su, I-I don’t think that’s appropriate!”

Shi Nuan had no intention to accept the jade pendant from the start, and she certainly would not accept it after hearing the story behind this precious item.

Since Su Yumin considered it as one of his family’s heirlooms, Shi Nuan was certain it was a valuable item. He should hand it over to his children instead of me, since it belonged to his wife. I can’t possibly accept an item of such importance from him!

Su Yumin put on a pitiable front since Shi Nuan had turned him down once again. “Is it because this isn’t a valuable item? Never mind. Consider it a souvenir to commemorate our first meeting! I have plenty of gifts for you, Nuan!”

“E-Erm…” Shi Nuan stuttered and massaged her temple because Su Yumin wasn’t the calm and collected man she thought he would be.

“Shame on you, Grandpa! How can you copy me? You’re not supposed to act cute like a little girl!” Cheng An spoke up. Fu Chengyan helped his niece stand on the chair, and the girl tucked her arms as she berated Su Yumin.

Su Yumin and those from the Su family were at a loss for words. After all, Cheng An’s remark was exactly on point.

Nevertheless, Su Yumin rebuked the little girl’s statement, “You’re not supposed to make fun of me! I’m merely trying to entertain my beloved granddaughter!”

Shi Nuan’s lips twitched involuntarily. She looked at Fu Chengyan, not knowing whether she should accept the jade pendant.

Fu Chengyan looked at her with his gleaming eyes and replied courteously, “May, since it’s a gift from Old Master Su, why don’t you accept it?”

“He’s right! This isn’t a valuable item, either!” Su Yumin nodded vigorously.

The members of the Su family couldn’t believe their ears because a minute ago, Su Yumin had just told her it was a family heirloom. By now, however, he had changed his mind and claimed it was something without much value.

“I-I can’t! T-This must be very precious to you!” Shi Nuan turned him down once more.

“Since this isn’t the thing you desire, why don’t you get him to give you something else?” Fu Chengyan beat around the bush. To his surprise, Su Yumin nodded without a second thought. “He’s right, Nuan! What do you want? I’ll give you everything that’s within my possession!”

Shi Nuan pouted her lips and told him, “Actually, there isn’t anything that I want in particular, but could you please do me a favor? Maybe you can stop being overly enthusiastic?”

Su Yumin was taken aback by his granddaughter’s words. He reflected upon his action and muttered, “Huh? Am I being overly enthusiastic?”

She nodded in return and suggested, “Old Master Su, why don’t you place your order? What do you like to eat?”
