I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 117

Shi Nuan laughed out loud before throwing him a prickly stare. “Are you sure this saying exists?” she asked.

“Of course!” Fu Chengyan grabbed her hand. He was gazing at the woman intently with his deep-set pitch black eyes, as if wanting to penetrate the depths of her heart.

Shi Nuan’s heart skipped a beat and she felt an indescribable feeling. Just by looking at him, her heart had already done a few rounds of somersaults.

As the woman snapped out of her daze, she pulled her hand out of Fu Chengyan’s grip. “I never knew you were so frivolous!” Even though Shi Nuan was nagging at him, she was feeling blissful.

While she was focused on tying his tie, she also realized how simple happiness could be. Being with Fu Chengyan did not turn out to be as unbearable as she had thought.

Shi Nuan let go of the man after she was done with the task. However, Fu Chengyan pulled her into his arms again. He lifted her head and looked at her seriously. “Since you are already with me, you just have to trust me!”

The woman’s heart starting racing again. She tried to shift her eyes away but Fu Chengyan held her chin in place, forcing her to look up at him. “Understand?”

Shi Nuan’s face was flushed red and she looked away awkwardly, but the man followed her gaze. There was no way she could escape his blazing eyes. The woman’s heart was beating wildly. She was glad that Fu Chengyan did not harp on it. She felt only relief when he let go of her. Nodding her head, she replied, “Understood!”

When the two of them stepped out of the house, it was already 8 p.m.. Shi Nuan’s mind was completely occupied with getting a gift for Jiang Shizheng. As such, once they reached town, she immediately dragged Fu Chengyan to choose a present. The man shook his head helplessly and stopped her. “Let’s have dinner first!”

“But grandpa’s present… “ Shi Nuan bit her lips and continued. “It’s getting late. What if the shops are closed after we finish dinner?”

“Eat first!” Fu Chengyan insisted. “We can think about that after dinner!”

“But… “ Shi Nuan wanted to object but was interjected by the man. “If grandpa knew that I kept you hungry, he wouldn’t let me off! C’mon, let’s go eat. Even if we don’t get to buy the gift today, there’s always tomorrow!”

The woman had no choice but to obey her husband.

As it was already quite late, Fu Chengyan took Shi Nuan directly to Yun Shui Jian. When the manager of Yun Shui Jian saw that Fu Chengyan arrived, he immediately greeted the man warmly. “Mr. Fu, you’re here!”

Fu Chengyan took a glance at the manager and acknowledged him with a nod. “Yup, is it empty now?”

“Yes, we have always kept your private room ready for you,” the manager said, before adding, “Mr. Li and Mr. Su are here too!”

As the manager saw Fu Chengyan arch his brows, he continued saying, “Does Mr. Fu want to join them? They are in the private room next to yours.” The manager glimpsed at the woman next to Fu Chengyan and had a look of surprise on his face, but did not say anything.

Fu Chengyan frowned and twitched the corners of his mouth. He and Shi Nuan looked at each other simultaneously.

Shi Nuan’s hand, which was interlocked with Fu Chengyan’s, trembled slightly and stiffened. She fixed her gaze on Fu Chengyan, awaiting his decision.

It seemed like an impactful day for Shi Nuan. Earlier on, her grandpa found out about her marriage to Fu Chengyan. And now, they had to bump into Li Heng and Su Shaoqing. It was indeed eventful.

Although the woman did feel that it was too soon, she was not completely against the idea of meeting his friends. If Fu Chengyan wanted to, she would go along with it.

However, Fu Chengyan had been observing the woman and had taken in her reaction. He replied the manager, “Not now, maybe another day. Please take us to our room now.”

“Sure.” Although the manager did not know who Shi Nuan was, he could tell that she was dear to Mr. Fu, and he himself had been paying close attention to Mr. Fu’s actions. Mr. Fu had not let go of that woman’s hand since they first entered. She must be someone really important.

After the manager brought them to their private room, Fu Chengyan removed his jacket. Shi Nuan habitually took the jacket from him and put it down. Then, she looked at him and said, “I thought that you would want me to meet them!”

Fu Chengyan raised his brows slightly as he heard the woman. “Do you want to?”

Shi Nuan pursed her lips but did not answer. With an understanding, the man continued, “Let’s not meet them today. I’ll introduce you to them officially next time! Besides, I haven’t even met both your grandpas yet!” Shi Nuan caught the deeper meaning to Fu Chengyan’s words. At the same time, he had also elevated the importance of Jiang Shizheng and Shi Yunsheng. She nodded her head as she felt a warm fuzzy feeling in her heart. “We shall meet them next time then, today feels too informal anyway!”

“That’s what I’m thinking too!” Fu Chengyan ordered a few of Shi Nuan’s favorite dishes and instructed the manager to leave the room.

Speaking of Li Heng and Su Shaoqing, it was also by coincidence that they met each other today. Su Shaoqing was away for a long time. As such, he naturally had a lot to catch up with Li Heng. Fu Chengyan was the focus of their conversation. They were both surprised that Fu Chengyan had suddenly gotten married without informing anyone. It was likely that everyone from the Fu clan was also kept in the dark.

Li Heng’s dim eyes lit up at the news. He tapped his long, slender fingers and said, “I wonder who this lady is. These people from the Fu clan… Ha!”

Even though Li Heng and Fu Chengyan were close friends, he did not think too highly of the Fu clan. As he thought about that woman… Li Heng’s eyes darkened.

Su Shaoqing was a smart man. Judging from Li Heng’s behavior, he knew that the man had not been able to leave the past behind him. “Heng, you can’t dismiss everyone from the Fu clan just because they treated you that way. You need to understand that you had hurt their daughter, whom they took pains to find. Because of you, she had even left the country. You should count yourself lucky that the Fu clan did not create any trouble for you.”

Li Heng’s eyes darkened even more as he lifted his head to look at Su Shaoqing. “You are speaking as if you had never hurt anyone.”

Su Shaoqing turned pale and tightened his grip on his wine glass, before loosening it again. He let out a bitter laugh and said, “It seems like we have suffered from the same fate, being continuously defeated by members of the Fu clan.”
