I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 114

After Shi Nuan hung up, she couldn’t fall back asleep. The woman took a towel out to dry Fu Chengyan’s hair and asked, “Why didn’t you wake me up earlier?”

She recalled how she fell asleep, even though her body was slick with sweat, and demanded, “Didn’t you say you’ll bring me to the bathroom to take a shower?”

“You were sleeping so soundly.” Fu Chengyan’s gaze softened when he reached out to hold Shi Nuan’s hand. “Let me do it.”

However, Shi Nuan shook her head. “I’ll help you. Fu Xicheng must’ve gotten into trouble. He called me with another person’s phone.” The phone call left her feeling resigned, even until now. “I never knew he was someone like that!”

A smirk appeared on Fu Chengyan’s face when he heard Shi Nuan’s upset tone. “What was he like?”

“I don’t want to talk about him.” Shi Nuan was still annoyed. “I don’t understand. He had chosen Shi Wei, but why did he continue to disturb me?”

He even told the police that I’m his girlfriend! What would others think when they hear his nonsense?

Shi Nuan bit her lips and stared at Fu Chengyan. “Did he upset you?”

“No.” Fu Chengyan frowned. “He can’t do that to me.” He grabbed Shi Nuan’s hand before patting the bed, asking her to sit down. Shi Nuan went and sat down obediently beside Fu Chengyan. The man then cupped Shi Nuan’s head and guided her to lie down on his lap before massaging her temples gently. “Did he wake you up?”

“I was really sleepy, but I can’t go back to sleep now,” Shi Nuan nodded wearily.

Although Fu Xicheng couldn’t upset Fu Chengyan, Shi Nuan wasn’t as strong as him. The phone call had appeared to affect her somehow.

With frustration pent-up inside her, Shi Nuan sighed and closed her eyes to relax her tense body under Fu Chengyan’s calming massage. Soon after, her frustration gradually subsided, and the man’s low and calming voice rang above her, “Don’t bother about what he thinks. If you don’t want him to contact you again, just change your phone number. You won’t be going back to Fucheng again anyway.”

Shi Nuan pondered for a while and said, “I guess that’s the only way.” Then, she clenched her teeth, “Argh, how annoying!”

“You don’t have to be annoyed,” Fu Chengyan wasn’t even bothered. “Don’t worry. After what happened today, he wouldn’t even bother you again.”

“Why?” Shi Nuan was confused. She opened her eyes and met Fu Chengyan’s sparkling gaze. Then, she asked curiously, “Why are you so sure of that?”

Fu Chengyan smirked. “Make a guess?”

Shi Nuan thought about it but ended up shaking her head. “I don’t know.”

Then, Fu Chengyan beckoned her with his finger cheekily. Shi Nuan climbed up and brushed a kiss across his lips. “Can you tell me now?”

“He won’t have time to bother you anymore.” Fu Chengyan replied before pushing Shi Nuan back onto his lap. “Fu Yuqing must be punishing Fu Xicheng now. I know Fu Yuqing well. He won’t let Fu Xicheng do whatever he wants. As long as Shi Wei has Huancheng’s shares, and continues being favored by the Shi family, Fu Yuqing will make sure Fu Xicheng marries Shi Wei.”

Shi Nuan opened her eyes at once in realization. “Yes, that sounds like what Fu Yuqing will do!” Back then, he didn’t force Fu Xicheng to break up with her because he thought she was favored in her family. But after the man found out her family didn’t favor her, he sent her away so Fu Xicheng would end up with Shi Wei.

Fu Yuqing was, indeed, cunning as a fox. He had planned this for ages, so he wouldn’t let his plan fail at the very last minute.

Fu Chengyan smirked. “So, Fu Yuqing is currently planning for Fu Xicheng to marry Shi Wei as soon as possible. It was only natural that Fu Yuqing had coerced them into tying the knot.” Fu Chengyan patted Shi Nuan’s hand. “Fu Xicheng has the experience, but he isn’t bold enough to go against Fu Yuqing. So he’ll end up marrying Shi Wei.”

“You’ve thought of everything.” Shi Nuan sighed. She was already exhausted when she heard him explaining the schemes.

Fu Chengyan noticed her frustration, so he held her hand, leaned down, and pressed his forehead to hers. “We can’t stop others from doing what they like. But we can at least follow our own paths, right?”

Shi Nuan smiled and nodded. “Okay, I got it. Don’t worry. Since I’ve cut off ties with them, I know what to do. They won’t be able to bully me ever again.”

I was too weak back then. I didn’t ask for anything, so they thought I was an easy target. But they must’ve forgotten that I didn’t fight back because they used to care for me. Since they have stopped caring for me and even sold me out, I won’t be a fool and let them hurt me again.
