I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 14

“Fate blows in random directions, Ms. Shi. If you can’t run away from it, why don’t you face it? Isn’t that right?” Fu Chengyan looked at her. There was another layer of meaning in his question. Shi Nuan bit her lip and stopped struggling.

When Fu Chengyan noticed she wasn’t struggling as much anymore, he let her go. “Please come in, Ms. Shi.” Shi Nuan looked at him angrily, but still she complied. Fu Chengyan smiled. “Seatbelt.”

Even though Shi Nuan had gotten into the car, she didn’t want to have any contact with Fu Chengyan. After telling him an address, she didn’t speak with him anymore, save for the occasional reminders when Fu Chengyan took a wrong corner.

Fu Chengyan wasn’t an idiot, so he could see her distaste for him. When they came to her complex, the man glanced at her. “The deal still stands, Ms. Shi. Call me anytime when you want to pull the trigger.”

Shi Nuan pursed her lips. “You seem to be a successful man, Mr. Fu, and you’re still an eligible bachelor. If you just say the word, I think the whole of Jiang City’s ladies would line up to be your partner. You don’t have to waste your time on me.”

“That’s what you think, not me.” Fu Chengyan tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, then he unlocked the doors. “Now that we’re here, I shouldn’t bother you anymore, Ms. Shi.” He knew what he should do at all times, so the man was patient with his prey. He knew when to strike and when to retreat.

Shi Nuan went down. “Thank you for sending me home, Mr. Fu, but I can’t accept your deal. I’m sorry. I just got out of a hellhole, so I don’t want to subject myself to another one.”
