I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 20

Shi Nuan’s head hurt as she sent Yue Ling away. For the past few days she had forced herself to remain strong, but when she saw Fu Xicheng and Fu Yuqing at the meeting room earlier today, she couldn’t help but feel bitter.

Just a year ago, Fu Yuqing had even dined with Shi Nuan in private and hinted at how he sincerely hoped she would marry Fu Xicheng. Shi Nuan could have never anticipated that things would turned out this way.

“Ms. Shi, Mr. Fu is looking for you,” Fu Yuqing’s secretary called. Shi Nuan was stunned for a moment before responding, “Alright, I’ll head over at once!”

Shi Nuan tidied her documents and headed towards the CEO office.

Shi Nuan knocked on the door and pushed it open after hearing a voice telling her to enter. There she saw Fu Yuqing sitting on the couch reading some financial news. Seeing Shi Nuan enter, he waved at her and said, “You’re here, Nuan!”

“Hello, Mr. Fu.” Shi Nuan certainly wasn’t as broadminded as Fu Yuqing was. She knew that after everything that had happened, she had to maintain some distance from them. “Is something the matter?”

“You little…” Fu Yuqing shook his head as his smile vanished. “I was just thinking that we hadn’t seen each other for over a year. How’s work now that you’re back?”

“Oh, it’s going fine!” Shi Nuan said with a wry smile. “I haven’t quite gotten the hang of it, but I’m sure I can manage. There’s no need for you to worry, Mr. Fu.”

The way Shi Nuan addressed Fu Yuqing showed that she had no intention of being close with him.

Fu Yuqing’s eyes gleamed as he squinted. “That’s good to hear,” he said with a smile. “I called you over to talk about the matters between you and Xicheng. I’m sure you’re also aware that he and your sister, Shi Wei…”

“We’re at the office now and it’s still working hours, Mr. Fu,” Shi Nuan interrupted with a stiff look on her face. “Besides, there’s nothing going on between Fu Xicheng and I.”

Fu Yuqing was shocked to hear Shi Nuan speak like this. He stared at Shi Nuan meaningfully for a while before he finally grinned, “You’re right. You’re indeed a clever one, Nuan!”
