I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 159

The whole day was spent in a busy and fulfilling manner. Shi Nuan felt that Shengyuan’s working environment was very comfortable. No wonder it was one of the best companies in Jiang City. In comparison, Fucheng was nothing.

Shi Nuan sorted out the information Lin Yu passed to her and was about to get off work when she received a call from Fu Chengyan, “Are you getting off work now?”

Shi Nuan who was packing her things right at that moment, nodded as she answered, “Yeah.”

“See you at the parking lot!” Fu Chengyan had also gathered his things, “Let’s go for dinner and then to the movies!”

“Okay!” Shi Nuan grinned from ear to ear, “Then I’ll wait for you there!” Shi Nuan kept her phone after they were done speaking. Coincidently, Yuan Jia walked past and had heard the way Shi Nuan’s voice changed when she spoke on the phone, as if she was in a jolly mood. She leaned over again and asked, “Your boyfriend?”

Shi Nuan retrieved her smile and narrowed her eyes slightly, “My friend.”

Yuan Jia twitched her lips and said, “C’mon, Shi Nuan. You can’t be like this. We’re all colleagues, and I’m just showing concern for a fellow colleague. You don’t need to be like this!”

“Yuan Jia, you said it yourself. We’re just colleagues, and this is my personal affair. I don’t think I’m obligated to inform the whole world about it!” Shi Nuan was really quite irritated. She didn’t think that Yuan Jia would be so difficult and unwilling to back down.

She came to Shengyuan just to work and didn’t want to form some kind of clique. However, Yuan Jia seemed to have misunderstood her and kept talking to her in a bizarre manner. “I have some matter to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first.”

“Shi Nuan.” Yuan Jia sounded a little irked, “We’re all colleagues. You’re going overboard by acting this way!” Yuan Jia’s voice was quite loud, and everyone happened to be getting off work now. Several employees who were just about to leave after packing their things heard the exchange between Yuan Jia and Shi Nuan, and looked over curiously.

“This is only your first day, so I just wanted to get to know you more. Asking you about your relationship with Mr. Zhou isn’t a big deal, so you don’t need to be so secretive!” Yuan Jia raised her voice and everyone looked at Shi Nuan with suspicious gazes.

The way Yuan Jia said it made it sound like Shi Nuan successfully entered Shengyuan with the help of Mr. Zhou. But who exactly was Mr. Zhou? Of course, he was Fu Chengyan’s most capable assistant. Apart from the god-like Fu Chengyan, Zhou Zheng was also very well-known in the company.

Now that they knew that Shi Nuan had a close relationship with Zhou Zheng, they all began to see her in a different light.

Shi Nuan frowned slightly, “I was never obligated to tell you what kind of relationship Mr. Zhou and I have. Yes, we are colleagues, but it doesn’t mean that I have to share my personal affairs with you. I thought that you’d be happy to discuss work-related matters with me instead.”

Shi Nuan’s voice was slightly frosty, and her demeanor wasn’t as relaxed anymore, “My apologies, but I have things to do, so I won’t be discussing my personal affairs with you anymore.”

Shi Nuan walked away immediately just as Yuan Jia made a noise of discontent, obviously disdained by Shi Nuan’s arrogance.

When everyone saw that the main characters were gone, naturally, they didn’t stay longer than necessary, leaving one after another. The corners of Yuan Jia’s lips tugged upwards into a gleeful smirk. She turned around had the shock of her life when she came face-to-face with Lin Yu. It was uncertain how long he’d been standing behind her.

Lin Yu’s eyes were filled with displeasure. It was obvious that he had heard the conversation between Yuan Jia and Shi Nuan earlier.

Yuan Jia’s face paled slightly, “D-Director Lin!”

“The company did not hire you to go around digging into other people’s business. If you don’t want to work, there are others who would do. Shengyuan doesn’t just allow anyone in.” Lin Yu tucked one hand into his pocket, then pursed his lips, not looking very pleased, “If I hear you talking about all these during working hours again, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Yuan Jia was too scared out of her wits to speak at all. Lin Yu only made a noise at the back of his throat, before whizzing past Yuan Jia.

Shi Nuan went downstairs and directly to the parking lot. When she saw Fu Chengyan already waiting there, she quickened her steps, “Did you wait long?”

“Nope!” Fu Chengyan reached out and naturally took Shi Nuan’s bag from her hand, “Didn’t you say you were going to come down first?”

“There was a minor holdup. Let’s go now!”

Fu Chengyan opened the car door for Shi Nuan. After she slid into her seat, she suddenly remembered to ask, “We’re going out for dinner today? What are we eating?”

“Zhou Zheng said that Shengjing opened a new hotpot restaurant. Do you feel like having that today?” Fu Chengyan said just before he closed his side of the door. Just then, there was a call from Zhou Zheng, “Mr. Fu, I’ve reserved a table for you. Also, just now when I passed by the project management department, I saw someone finding fault with Mrs. Fu.”

Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes a fraction, “Mm, got it.”

After he hung up the call, he glanced towards Shi Nuan. She smiled when she saw him staring, “What are you looking at?”

“So, hotpot?” When Fu Chengyan saw that Shi Nuan’s seat belt wasn’t buckled yet, and he leaned over to buckle her up. Shi Nuan couldn’t help a blush from creeping up her cheeks as she looked at the back of Fu Chengyan’s head while he buckled her seatbelt. Although the two of them were already married for so long and had already been intimate with each other, Shi Nuan would still occasionally feel touched by Fu Chengyan’s little actions.

“Okay, let’s go for some hotpot then. The weather is getting cold and it’s good to eat something warm.” Shi Nuan blinked, “Have you bought the movie tickets then?”
