I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 260

The shooting for the advertisements for St. Dee progressed quickly. Shi Wei finished all her parts in a few days. As for ‘Beneath the Sky,” everything had been finalized. In fact, the first cast member to be officially announced was none other than Shi Wei.

Even though the news regarding Fu Chengyan and Shi Wei had been removed from all sites, it couldn’t stop people from continuing to gossip about whether Fu Chengyan and Shi Wei really had a thing.

Having the same thoughts were Fu Xicheng, and Mr. and Mrs. Fu Yuqing. They weren’t completely aware of everything being said on the internet, but because one of the subjects of the gossip was their wife and daughter-in-law, all of it naturally weighed heavily on them.

And even though Shi Wei had moved back and had explained everything, it was still a thorn on their side. However, Fu Yuqing chose to remain silent on the matter. He thought about the Shi family’s stocks in Shi Wei’s hands, and made it clear to Fu Xicheng to endure it – no matter what happened, he shouldn’t quarrel with Shi Wei.

But that wasn’t how Fu Xicheng saw things. He was suddenly really remorseful that he had ditched Shi Nuan for Shi Wei and all the alleged money and power. And now Shi Wei was embroiled in rumors of infidelity. Fu Xicheng was any ordinary man, and hearing that his wife had a scandalous affair with someone else made him feel humiliated. This was compounded by the fact that the other party was Fu Chengyan, someone who was better in both power and social standing.

“I’m back!”

Shi Wei pushed the door open but saw that there was no one there to welcome her other than a blast of cold air.

Shi Wei frowned, but the family cook came out right then. “Madam, you’re home?” The family cook was surprised to see her, but when she saw Shi Wei’s expression, she quickly ducked her head. “Madam, Mr. Fu is still out. I’m about to prepare some food. What would you like to eat?”

Shi Wei’s expression cleared up slightly. “Anything will do.” Shi Wei headed up the stairs but suddenly stopped as if she remembered something. “Cook whatever Mr. Fu likes to eat. Let me know when he’s home.”

“Yes, madam!”

Shi Wei headed straight up the stairs and quickly tidied up the room, changed a new set of sheets and covers, then took a good long bath. When she came out, she saw Fu Xicheng taking off his coat.

It was clear that Fi Xicheng hadn’t expected Shi Wei to be home so early. But upon seeing her, all he did was just give her a quick look before walking away. Shi Wei’s anger rose when she saw how Fu Xicheng was acting. She barely suppressed her anger and asked, “Xicheng, you’re back?”

Shi Wei walked over and took Fu Xicheng’s coat from him. “The cook said she’s cooking some of your favorite dishes. I’m sure you’re tired after a long day of work. I’m not working for the next few days so I can have meals with you every day!”

Fu Xicheng nodded and grunted but didn’t give any other response.

“Xicheng!” Shi Wei saw how icy Fu Xicheng was to her and couldn’t hold it in any longer. “I’ve already explained everything to you and you’ve understood it. Why are you still so cold towards me? I really don’t have anything to do with Fu Chengyan. You know the person I love is you; otherwise I wouldn’t have done everything I could to be with you in the beginning! I mean, I even hurt Nuan in the process!”

Shi Wei’s face turned pale and she bit her lips, looking innocent and pitiful.

No one could deny that Shi Wei was a natural actor. What she was doing was clearly working on Fu Xicheng.

The moment he saw her demeanor, his heart softened.

Shi Wei saw Fu Xicheng’s expression relax a little so she quickly walked over to tug at his arm, like a little child trying to win favors. “Xicheng, do you still not know how I feel about you?”

“That’s enough. I’m not really mad at you, but you need to be more careful in the future,” Fu Xicheng sighed. The bottom line was he and Shi Wei were married, so no matter how upset he was with her, they couldn’t possibly a divorce right after getting married.

“You know how my relationship with Fu Chengyan is. If rumors about the two of you spread again, it’ll be very difficult for me and will affect my standing in the family.”

“I understand. To be honest, Xicheng, I think the reason Fu Chengyan is being so nice to be and providing me with all these resources is because of you. Think about it, I’d never even met him until I met you. Why would he help me? You were the one who helped get into Xinhuang too. Xicheng, things between me and Fu Chengyan really aren’t like what the rumors are saying.”

Shi Wei quickly gave Fu Xicheng a kiss on his cheek, then she whispered in his ear. “Do you know Song Jingyu, Fu Chengyan’s cousin? I think she’s the one behind all this. It’s like she has it in for me. Actually, I think she has it in for any woman who gets close to Fu Chengyan, regardless of whatever relationship they have with him.”

Fu Xicheng narrowed his eyes as if he suddenly remembered something. “Song Jingyu?” Fu Xicheng racked his brain and finally recalled who Song Jingyu was. “Are you telling me that Song Jingyu likes Fu Chengyan?”
