I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 149

“Shi Nuan?”

Qin Yue got even more nervous when he noticed that Shi Nuan appeared seemingly inattentive and impatient. He wanted to step forward but he was intimidated by Shi Nuan’s frosty eyes. His body stiffened and he remained there, waiting for her answer.

Shi Nuan glanced at Qin Yue coldly and then she frowned. She did not miss the look on Su Shaoqing, who was obviously waiting for a show. Shi Nuan was upset. No one would have been pleased by a love confession under this situation.

The surroundings were awfully quiet. The autumn breeze was refreshing but yet rather chilly. Qin Yue was feeling a bit cold- he was not sure if it was because of the breeze or the look on Shi Nuan’s face. She looked indecipherable.

“Mr. Qin, you saved my life earlier. I didn’t get the chance to thank you. Since we are here today, I want to thank you for saving me that day. Anything else?” Shi Nuan stared at him and replied in a flat and neutral tone.

Qin Yue was stunned momentarily as he did not expect Shi Nuan would say that. “Nuan, that was a simple effort. I would have helped anyone, needless to say the girl whom I happened to admire. Shi Nuan, what do you think? I am very fond of you. Will you be my girlfriend?”

Qin Yue continued his confession as he glanced at Su Shaoqing, who was still leaning on the side of the car door. He thought to himself that although this man was good looking, he had no manners at all.

Qin Yue obviously preferred to have the conversation with Shi Nuan in private, but Su Shaoqing would not give them any space. Instead, he just stood there and watched.

Su Shaoqing played his role as an audience and he was expecting a show. He had always been frivolous hence, needless to say, social etiquette did not concern him. Moreover, Su Shaoqing was always interested in gossips, especially when they were about Shi Nuan and Fu Chengyan. He would not miss any of it.

On the other hand, Qin Yue needed to work on his self-awareness and sensitivity to other people. Obviously, Shi Nuan had expressed herself very clear, but he still demanded an answer.

Shi Nuan took a deep breath and pinched her eyebrows, “I got it. Anything else?”

“Shi Nuan! Answer me!”

When Qin Yue saw Shi Nuan’s unconcerned look, he raised his tone, “I confessed to you, but you still owe me an answer.”

Shi Nuan could not care less and her remaining little patience had just vanished. She knitted her eyebrows, raised her head, and looked at him coldly, “Mr. Qin, you have stated that more than three times and I have answered you more than three times. What more do you want?”

“What? I… I didn’t get an answer,” Qin Yue froze in shock in reply to Shi Nuan’s sudden cold and harsh stare.

“I did. I just thanked you for saving me. And I said that I got it. But you are still dwelling. Isn’t that obvious? You saved me and I expressed my gratitude. However, being grateful doesn’t mean that I need to like you. Mr. Qin, we were classmates, I don’t want to screw up our friendship.”

Qin Yue opened his mouth but could not find his tongue. Shortly after, he argued, “But you didn’t tell me that you don’t like me.”

Shi Nuan curled her lips, “That still doesn’t mean that I like you. I tried to reject you implicitly and politely and now it is my fault? You still demand for an answer. Actually, do you need my answer?

Or do you simply need the answer that you want to hear? If my answer is not the answer that you want, are you going to dwell on this forever?” Shi Nuan’s cold voice sounded extremely impatient, harsh, and aggressive.

She had always been tame and kind, but this was too much for her. “Since you demand for an answer, then here is my answer. Mr. Qin, I do not like you, not even the slightest bit. Are you satisfied now? Are we done?” Shi Nuan responded coldly and firmly.

The surroundings were very quiet, one could hear the light wind breezing through. It fluttered the strands of hair on Shi Nuan’s cheeks. Her eyes were frosty and harsh as if they were meant to pierce one’s heart and soul, causing frostbite on Qin Yue’s heart. “I have liked you for so many years, Shi Nuan.”

“That is none of my business. I have no control over that. It doesn’t mean that I have to be responsible for your feelings.”

“Shi Nuan, how did this happen? We have known each other for so many years. You have always known that I like you. You were not repulsive of me back in the days. I thought you will grow fond of me in time,” Qin Yue felt a pain growing deep down into his heart.

“Not every fondness brings mutual feelings from the other party. Qin Yue, I hope you can understand. Whether you like me or not, I have no control over it. But that doesn’t give you right to blame this on my conscious.”

“What about him? I have heard what your mom told you. She introduced him to you on a blind date. You could spend time with him. Why are you rejecting me?”
