I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 103

“Forgotten?” Zhou Zheng’s face darkened as he muttered in a low voice and waved his hands to dismiss his thoughts, “Ms. Qin, please give the script to Ms. Shi!” He said awkwardly, “Ms. Shi, Mr. Fu had put a lot of emphasis into this drama in view of the huge amount of money invested into it. I would be in a difficult position if I don’t do well!”

Shi Wei started to realize the seriousness of the problem and shifted awkwardly as she cursed her agent silently for messing things up. “Yes, it is our fault this time. But there’ll be no next time, I promise. Please give me half an hour, Mr. Zhou. I…”

“Okay then!” Zhou Zheng pinched the middle of his brows and sighed. “Please hurry up, Ms. Shi. Mr. Fu still has some tasks for me.”

“Sure!”

Shi Wei was flustered and could not calm herself down. It would be a miracle to be able to memorize the script at this time.

She glowered at her agent, and it got him so nervous that he was at the point of sweating. At that moment, Zhou Zheng picked up a call, and his face fell, “Ms. Shi, I have to go back. As for the rest…” Zhou Zheng peered at Qin Hong, “Ms. Qin, I’ll leave the rest to you. Please take good care of Ms. Shi!”

“Noted, Mr. Zhou.” However, Qin Hong thought the task to be quite cumbersome, so she was stern toward Shi Wei. On the other hand, Qin Hong could do nothing since it was an instruction from the top management.

Shi Wei breathed a sigh of relief to herself when she heard that Zhou Zheng was leaving. However, she put on a reluctant face and shifted awkwardly and looked unwilling for him to leave, “Mr. Zhou, I’m really sorry for what happened today, I…”

“It’s fine. Please liaise with Ms. Qin. I really have to get going. Mr. Fu is rushing me!” Zhou Zheng waved his hands in frustration, clearly displeased with Shi Wei.

Shi Wei was exasperated at his remark but could only smile awkwardly as the air grew still.

After Zhou Zheng had left, Shi Wei was visibly relaxed. She then looked over at Qin Hong and asked, “Ms. Qin, how about you?”

“Though Mr. Zhou doesn’t have time, I do. Take your time, Ms. Shi. I’ll be waiting here.”

Qin Hong put on a casual smile as if she has no other matter to attend to and sat down to wait for Shi Wei.

Shi Nuan frowned as she looked at the CCTV footage; she did not expect Shi Wei to behave this way. At that instant, Shi Nuan had a renewed impression of Shi Wei. “I’ve never seen her in this manner!” Shi Nuan was obviously taken aback.

Right beside her, Fu Chengyan sneered as he turned off the footage, “Unexpected?”

Shi Nuan nodded, “I must be really stupid back then.” She had always put up with her family’s mistreatment towards her, thinking that maybe she had done something wrong. It was not until now that she had realized, sometimes people would just dislike a person for no reason and that their behavior was inexplicable, like Shi Wei, whom she had witnessed just now.

“You brought me here today to watch her put on a good show?”

Fu Chengyan beckoned Shi Nuan to come closer. Shi Nuan hesitated but went over obediently. Fu Chengyan hugged her into an embrace out of a sudden.

It threw Shi Nuan off, making her fall onto Fu Chengyan’s lap. She was instantly flustered and glared at Zhou Zheng, “What are you doing? Let me go!”

However, Fu Chengyan merely grinned and rubbed his chin against her shoulders, “Don’t move! Let me hug you for a while!”

Shi Wei could only sit there helplessly and let Fu Chengyan hug her. After a while, someone knocked on the door, “Mr. Zhou?”

Fu Chengyan let go of Shi Nuan instantly, and she got up quickly to straighten her shirt. Soon after, Fu Chengyan uttered, “Come in!”

Zhou Zheng came in but noticed Shi Nuan shifting awkwardly while she tugged at her clothes. He immediately realized that he had been intruding, so he coughed awkwardly, “Mr. Fu, Shi Wei is really a genius!”

Meanwhile, Fu Chengyan beckoned at Shi Nuan again. “You want to go for a walk?”

“For?” Shi Nuan asked.

Fu Chengyan grinned and peered at Zhou Zheng, “Since she’s into tormenting herself, why don’t you help her with it? I’ll leave it up to you!” Fu Chengyan was not someone who liked to trouble himself with trivial matters like this. This time, however, it was all for the woman in front of him. He paused for a while and said, “Let’s give her some more!”

“Fu Chengyan!” Shi Nuan bit at her lip. “Do you really want to do this?”

“You don’t want to?” Fu Chengyan lifted his brows and looked at Shi Nuan with a solemn expression. “I won’t if you don’t want to!” He was not joking around. “But do think through this carefully. Some people just would not reciprocate your kindness.”

Shi Nuan grimaced because she knew Fu Chengyan was telling the truth. “Then see to it yourself!” She was clear on the kind of person Shi Wei was. If Fu Chengyan had not troubled her, then Shi Wei would definitely focus on troubling her instead. Besides, the Shi family now knew that granddad had given her his shares.
