I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 157

Shi Nuan couldn’t help but laugh out loud. It was really hard to imagine that Fu Chengyan would do such a ridiculous thing.

Fu Chengyan gave Shi Nuan a sidelong glance as he held her delicate ankles. Shi Nuan’s face heated up being stared at Fu Chengyan like that, and she didn’t dare to move at all.

Fu Chengyan lowered his gaze and studied the bottle of nail polish in his hand with a very serious expression. He tapped the bottle lightly and caressed Shi Nuan’s ankle again. Then, he pressed Shi Nuan’s toenail, “Do I apply it like this?”

Fu Chengyan raised his head and saw Shi Nuan sitting quietly there with her eyes fixated on him. Fu Chengyan raised his brows subtly as his lips curved upwards a little, “Mm?”

Shi Nuan snapped out of it and pointed at her toenail in embarrassment, “Just apply it according to the shape of my toenails. Make you don’t go out of line!” Shi Nuan then peered closer at Fu Chengyan, “Are you serious about painting my toenails?!”

“Didn’t I agree already?” Fu Chengyan sat on the couch and placed Shi Nuan’s foot on his lap. Then, he pinched Shi Nuan’s toe carefully between his fingers and picked up the nail polish with the other hand, brushing Shi Nuan’s toenail with meticulous strokes.

With her foot held in place by Fu Chengyan like that, Shi Nuan leaned her head on her other knee which she had bent upwards as she watched him earnestly.

Fu Chengyan gripped her foot, and although he was painting her nails as gingerly as he could, he still couldn’t avoid smudging the nail polish a little.

Shi Nuan dipped her head and leaned closer to peek at Fu Chengyan’s face. She found that his pores were really fine; in fact, they were barely noticeable.

He had a really good skin complexion too, one that was probably even better than hers. And, his eyes were really focused. His long and slightly curled lashes cast a shadow just below his eyes, making him look really beautiful.

Shi Nuan detected the dense layer of sweat gathered on his face and nose. Hence, she tilted her body to the side to grab a few pieces of tissue from the coffee table. Because of her tilted body, Fu Chengyan thought she was losing balance and quickly supported her waist.

When he saw Shi Nuan holding some tissue in her hand with a cheeky look, he gave her look of indignance, “Sit properly!” Shi Nuan immediately sat straight, but her hands fussed over his face, wiping away the beads of sweat.

Fu Chengyan pushed Shi Nuan’s hands away in exasperation, “Stay still!”

“But I wanna wipe your sweat away!” Shi Nuan said, then ignored Fu Chengyan’s protests and wiped his face. After she was satisfied, she leaned back against the couch, “Yan, aren’t you bored? Why don’t I just do it myself!”

“It’s fine. Just sit properly. If you’re bored, you can watch some TV.” Fu Chengyan went back to painting Shi Nuan’s toenails with utmost care. Looking at her fair and dainty feet, Fu Chengyan’s gaze darkened.

She probably had no idea that seeing her like this tugged at his heartstrings.

Shi Nuan seemed to be aware of Fu Chengyan’s emotions. She raised her brows and poked her head forward, “Yan, what’s wrong?”

However, Fu Chengyan dodged her eyes, “Nothing. Just watch TV! Arnold…” Fu Chengyan waved his hand. Arnold, which was originally nestled by the corner, instantly leaped to his paws and ran over. He circled around Fu Chengyan and Shi Nuan as he wagged his tail, trying to get their attention.

When Shi Nuan saw the cuteness overload before her, she completely forgot that Arnold was actually a giant canine that even had a tendency for aggression.

Shi Nuan reached out and patted Arnold’s soft head. Arnold walked obediently to Shi Nuan’s side and rubbed against her thigh. When Fu Chengyan’s stern gaze swept over, Arnold immediately straightened and stopped its movements.

“Why are you scaring him?” Shi Nuan beckoned to the furball, “Arnold, come here!”

After a while, Arnold wagged his tail and dashed towards Shi Nuan, as though he was gloating after successfully winning her favor, completely forgetting that Fu Chengyan was his actual owner.

Shi Nuan patted Arnold’s back and let him sit by her side, teasing him with a toy.

Fu Chengyan chuckled helplessly, but still gave Arnold a warning glare, signaling for him not to play rough with Shi Nuan.

“Yan, if people found out that you’re painting my toenails at home, what kind of reactions would they have?” Shi Nuan pictured that scene in her mind and felt that it was rather comical.

The big boss of the impressive Shengyuan Group painting a woman’s toenails would be hard to believe if people didn’t see it for themselves.

Fu Chengyan paused and he raised his head to look at Shi Nuan, “Is painting your toenails that unacceptable to you?” He didn’t think so, but he lowered his head and continued, “Women are naturally vain, but these chemicals can harm your body, so don’t paint your nails too often.”

“I know!” Shi Nuan smiled, “I never really painted my nails anyway. These were gifted to me by Song Rongrong. I simply didn’t wanna let it go to waste, and besides, using nail polish once in a while is completely fine!” Shi Nuan said as she noticed that one side of her foot was already done, but the nail polish hadn’t dried yet.

Fu Chengyan lifted Shi Nuan’s other foot while she placed the foot with the painted nails on the coffee table and inspected it, “Yan, I realize that you’re a fast learner. You did a good job with just one try!” Besides the first toenail that was a little bit messy, the other ones were almost perfect.

Shi Nuan couldn’t help but feel envious, “The first time I did it, all of my toes were stained by the nail polish. It was so ugly. Song Rongrong and Su Yian couldn’t stop laughing at me!”
