I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 247

“Why is it impossible? Don’t tell me the photos are fake.” Fu Xicheng’s fury heightened. He had never expected Shi Wei would betray him by getting together with Fu Chengyan. Back then, Shi Wei had promised him that with her help, Fucheng would get plenty of chances to collaborate with Shengyuan. If the help Shi Wei meant was achieved through the means reported in the news, he would’ve been cuckolded. “Shi Wei, how could you do this to me?”

“No, Xicheng. You have to trust me. Fu Chengyan and I aren’t in that kind of relationship. Don’t misunderstand. I don’t have feelings for Fu Chengyan. I merely think of him as an elder. I was treating him as an elder—”

“Enough!” Fu Xicheng shoved her hand away impatiently. “Look at how you gazed at Fu Chengyan. Looks don’t lie. Shi Wei, you never failed to surprise me. So you do harbor feelings for Fu Chengyan, huh? Now that you are exposed, what else do you have to say?”

Fu Xicheng flung the covers off and got out of the bed. Glaring at Shi Wei with contempt, the man changed his clothes swiftly. Shi Wei’s heart sank. Her eyes were red-rimmed, as if she was about to cry any minute. The woman climbed out of bed and grabbed Fu Xicheng’s arm. “Xicheng, don’t be mad at me. It must’ve been a misunderstanding. Trust me, I’ll ask someone to find out what really happened. Xicheng, you—”

“Enough! If it was a misunderstanding, resolve it before you come to me.” Fu Xicheng sneered, “I even felt guilty and brought you on a trip, but you did this to me.”

Fu Xicheng ignored Shi Wei’s pleas. After changing his clothes, he left the room and went downstairs.

They were in Sheen City to travel, but Fu Xicheng had business to discuss here, too.

Because Shi Wei spoke with such certainty that day, Fu Yuqing valued her help and forced his son to bring her on this trip. Fu Xicheng also thought he had neglected her for some time and agreed to bring her along.

Downstairs, Fu Xicheng’s secretary showed up not long after. “Mr. Fu, where do you want to go now?”

“Let’s get breakfast, then we’ll go survey the site.”

“Then… What about Mrs. Fu?” The secretary had obviously read the news and asked cautiously, “Should I arrange her schedule today?”

Fu Xicheng’s gaze turned frosty as he glared at his secretary behind him. “Are you my secretary or hers?”

The secretary shut up immediately. “Mr. Fu, please get in the car.”After opening the door for Fu Xicheng and watching him enter the car, the secretary slid into the driver’s seat. He dared not mention Shi Wei anymore.

Shi Wei could only watch as Fu Xicheng left. She wanted to go after him, but because of her identity and the news, she dared not go out.

After changing her clothes hastily, Shi Wei made a call to Su Su.

Su Su was having breakfast at home with her parents when she received Shi Wei’s call. A gleam appeared in her eyes, along with a mocking smile on her face. “Hello, Wei? How are you? Are you having fun with your husband in Sheen City?”

“Having fun? How can I have fun? Su Su, I am in deep trouble.” Shi Wei was about to cry. “Please help me!”

“Calm down, don’t cry. What’s wrong? Did you have a fight with Fu Xicheng?” Su Su asked. Her parents turned to look at her. Motioning for them to remain quiet, Su Su left the dining room and went to the living room to sit down. “Calm down and tell me everything. What happened?”

“Don’t you know? Didn’t you read the news today?” Shi Wei was stunned. “Someone posted photos of me that was taken during Shengyuan’s annual meeting.”

“Isn’t that great?” Su Su was confused. “I’ve been spending time with my parents at home, so I wasn’t keeping up with the news. But that seems like a good thing, no?”

“Of course not! If it’s positive news, I’ll be over the moon, but this is bad news! Someone took photos of me and Fu Chengyan at an incriminating angle and sold the photos to the paparazzi. Now, every news outlet is reporting our so-called secret relationship! It would have been fine if I were single, but you know that I am married to Xicheng. To makes matters worse, my husband is related to Fu Chengyan. Su Su, you need to help me!”

“This is hard to handle. Does Fu Chengyan know about this? What about Xinhuang?” Su Su frowned. “Wei, return now. Book a flight ticket back today. We can’t delay this any further. If this affects your image, Fu Chengyan would sacrifice you to protect Xinhuang.”

“Okay, I’ll book a flight ticket back now,” Shi Wei agreed before she continued, “Xicheng just found out about this. He was extremely furious and left without me. If I leave now, will he get angrier?”

“You’re not in the position to care about your husband’s mood swings. Come back now. After we deal with this, Fu Xicheng will stop being mad at you,” Su Su snapped, “I’ll book your flight ticket now.”
