I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 225

“It’s their wedding anniversary.” Fu Chengyan smiled. “Aunt’s health isn’t too great, so Uncle decided to celebrate at home rather than take her out. We should give them some space and not disturb their alone time.”

This uncle of Fu Chengyan’s was someone who loved and pampered his wife, Ning Xin, a great deal. It had been over twenty years since the two had gotten married, but Fu Heng’s love and affection for Ning Xin never decreased. This was something that Fu Chengyan greatly admired.

Even though Shi Nuan hadn’t known Fu Heng and Ning Xin for long, but since the two moved into Wutong Residence, Shi Nuan herself witnessed the closeness between a husband and his wife.

Ning Xin wasn’t in great health, so Fu Heng would always be with her, both in body and in mind. It was one of those rare loves, and thankfully, Fu Heng was so good towards Ning Xin.

“Alright then, we’ll eat out today.” Fu Heng and Ning Xin were going to celebrate their wedding anniversary, so naturally, she and Fu Chengyan shouldn’t bother them.

“I’ll go find you after I get off work. You won’t need to work overtime tonight, will you?”

 

“Yup, I’ll be getting off work early.” Fu Chengyan smiled with a hint of affection in his eyes. “Where do you want to have dinner? And do you want to watch a movie? Work has been so busy lately; we haven’t gone on a date in a long while.”

“Date? We’re married!” mumbled Shi Nuan. Fu Chengyan shook his head when he heard her and said, “Alright, you get back to work!”

 

“Yup. I really can’t talk any longer. I still have a lot of work I need to finish.”

Shi Nuan hung up the phone and stared at her screen for a while before laughing to herself.

When Yuan Jia passed by and saw what Shi Nuan was doing, she couldn’t help but ‘tsk’ her. “You sure look like you’re in a good mood today. What’s going on? Talking on the phone with your boyfriend?”

“Boyfriend?” Shi Nuan bit her lip. “I guess that’s kind of true.”

“So you do have a boyfriend!” gasped Yuan Jia in surprise. “No way!” She was just throwing things out there, who knew Shi Nuan actually admitted to it.

Shi Nuan raised an eyebrow when she saw how surprised Yuan Jia was. She put down her phone and looked at her sternly. “What? Do I look like no one wants me?”

Yuan Jia quickly shook her head. Who wouldn’t? Shi Nuan was beautiful and had a good personality. A woman like her would have plenty of suitors. No one wanting her was just an impossibility. She was just taken aback earlier, that’s all. “Let’s meet up one day so I can meet him!”

“Someday!” Shi Nuan giggled. She didn’t want to tell Jia Yuan that the ‘boyfriend’ she mentioned was actually Shengyuan’s boss, Fu Chengyan. That would definitely shock her even more.

Yuan Jia shrugged then said, “I’ll get back to work then.” She was only just a little curious and wasn’t actually interested in who Shi Nuan’s boyfriend was.

When it was time to get off work, Shi Nuan quickly tidied her desk before she grabbed her bag and left.

Because she had to go to Fu Chengyan’s underground parking lot, Shi Nuan made sure to be extra cautious. She saw that Fu Chengyan hadn’t arrived yet, so she got into the car first to wait. What she didn’t know was, after she had gotten into the car, another person came out of the elevators and stared intently at Fu Chengyan’s car. That person was none other than Song Jingyu.

But luckily, Shi Nuan had gotten in just in time, and Song Jingyu hadn’t seen her.

The reason Song Jingyu was there at the time, was only because she wanted to try to get a ride from Fu Chengyan. She had endured silently at Shengyuan for so long, but Fu Chengyan never even gave her a sliver of a chance. And earlier, when Song Jingyu saw Shi Nuan’s back view, she had gotten the strongest feeling, a feeling that couldn’t be wrong. For some reason, she felt that Shi Nuan’s back view looked very familiar, but she just couldn’t remember where she had seen it before.

Song Jingyu stood by the car door and looked inside.

Shi Nuan had just hopped in and was about to give Fu Chengyan a call when she was surprised by the shadow outside the window. She looked out and saw Song Jingyu’s face looming towards her.

Taken aback by her sudden appearance, Shi Nuan was so taken aback that she gasped aloud, especially when she saw Song Jingyu’s face was nearly plastered against the window. Shi Nuan instinctively gripped her phone harder. It felt as if Song Jingyu could see her through the window.

It shocked her so much that she forgot that the windows were tinted one-way, so while one could look out, one couldn’t look in.

Shi Nuan’s heart raced while she tried to swallow her fear, thinking that Song Jingyu had seen her. But after a while, she noticed that Song Jingyu stood back up, leaned against the car, and started playing on her phone.

Shi Nuan breathed a sigh of relief, and that was when she finally remembered the windows were tinted. Thus, it was likely that Song Jingyu didn’t know she was in the car.

Shi Nuan immediately sent a text to Fu Chengyan telling him that Song Jingyu was in the parking lot and that she didn’t know what to do.

Fu Chengyan had just gotten inside the elevators and was about to head down when he saw Shi Nuan’s text. He quickly replied that he would be there right away and asked her not to be afraid.
