I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 10

Shi Nuan didn’t sleep well throughout the night. When she saw how pale she looked, and how bloodshot her eyes were, she hurriedly splashed some water on her face. After noticing some color returning, she held the counter and looked at her reflection sadly.

“Wake up, Shi Nuan. You can get over this.” Shi Nuan started giving herself her pep talk to cheer herself up.

She carefully applied some makeup on her delicate features. She didn’t stop until she was satisfied that her lethargy was all covered up. When she saw her grandfather calling her again, she frowned, but still quickly picked it up. “Hey, grandpa. Do you need anything?”

“I asked you to come back today. I hope you haven’t forgotten about it.” Jiang Shizheng said. Even though he was an elderly man, his voice sounded as it did when he was young. That was thanks to him being a lecturer all these years.

Shi Nuan was planning to go to work, but after what had happened over the last two days, she changed her mind. Shi Nuan went to the nearest supermarket to purchase something, then she went to her grandfather’s home.

It had been a year since Shi Nuan left Jiang City. She had been working all this time and never came back, but she would occasionally talk to her grandfather on the phone. Shi Nuan was still worried when she arrived at the doorstep.

She stood there until Aunt Fei, the housekeeper, came to open the door. “You’re back, little young miss. Why are you standing there? Come in.” Aunt Fei ushered her in, and she smiled. “The master has a guest today.”

“A guest?” Shi Nuan asked. “What guest? I thought he said—” Before she could finish, her grandfather said, “It has been a long time since you visited me, Yan. Have you been busy lately?”
