I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 282

Fu Chengyan pursed his lips and furrowed his brows when he saw the two items. He didn’t know what to make of it either.

“Forget it. Let’s just stop thinking about it altogether!” When Shi Nuan was about to keep the gifts, she saw two red packets at the bottom of the gift boxes. Her eyes sparkled as she took them out. It was given to them by Jiang Shizheng as part of the New Year’s tradition. She couldn’t help but laughed. “Since when did Grandpa learn how to play tricks like that?” Only he would be able to come up with something as elaborate as this.

Fu Chengyan shook his head as he laughed. He passed the red packets to Shi Nuan while he kept the two gift boxes. “Let’s go. I’m sure Grandpa has his reasons for giving those gifts.”

“Get in the car.”

“Alright!” Shi Nuan nodded. She continued to stare blankly at the gift boxes inside the car. Even when they reached home, she was still unaware.

It was only when Fu Chengyan opened the car door and placed his hand on her forehead that Shi Nuan recovered her senses. “What is it?”

“We’re home!” Fu Chengyan helped Shi Nuan unbuckle her seatbelt and reached out to touch the tip of her nose. “Time to get out!”

“Oh, didn’t we say that we wanted to light some fireworks for tonight? We have yet to buy any of them yet!” Shi Nuan finally remembered after she looked around and realized that they had come straight home from Grandpa’s house. How were they going to have fireworks when they didn’t buy any?

“Get down!” Fu Chengyan helped her out and closed the door behind her. She was pleasantly surprised to see fireworks stacked outside Wutong Residence. “This…”

“Mr. Fu, Mrs. Fu!”

Zhou Zheng walked out from inside the house and stood in front of Fu Chengyan respectfully. “I did what you asked. Would you like to take a look?”

“Alright!” Fu Chengyan nodded as he passed the car keys to Zhou Zheng. “Well done. Happy New Year!”

Zhou Zheng caught the keys that Fu Chengyan had thrown in his direction. His eyes sparkled when he saw them in his hand. “Thanks, Mr. Fu!” He turned to Shi Nuan. “Thanks, Mrs. Fu!”

“Me? Thank me?” Shi Nuan gave Zhou Zheng a puzzled look. “What are you thanking me for?”

Fu Chengyan led Shi Nuan into the house as he yelled. “Go home. You have three days off!”

“Thanks, Mr. Fu!” Zhou Zheng’s eyes sparkled with joy as he left with the car keys.

He was initially reluctant to run errands for Fu Chengyan on such an important holiday. However, his reluctance turned into delight when he found out that he would be compensated with a car.

Fu Chengyan held Shi Nuan’s hand as he led her into Wutong Residence. She had no clue what was going on. When she entered the house, her mind was still trying to figure out why Zhou Zheng looked so happy to be running errands on New Year’s Eve.

“What are you thinking of?”

Fu Chengyan had changed into his slippers and passed Shi Nuan hers. However, when he noticed that she was still in a daze, he smiled as he tousled her hair. “Why are you spacing out?”

“It’s nothing!” Shi Nuan shook her head and felt that she didn’t seem to be in her element today. “Why is Zhou Zheng so happy to be working on New Year’s Eve?”

“In exchange for a Land Rover.” Fu Chengyan chuckled.

Shi Nuan blinked in sudden realization. “No wonder he was overjoyed when you passed him the car keys. So you gave him the car as a gift?”

“Of course.” Fu Chengyan nodded as he led Shi Nuan into the house. The living room had its floor heating turned on, and it felt very comfortable.

Fu Chengyan turned on the TV, and they sat together to watch as it was still early. Shi Nuan had taken off her slippers and was sitting with her legs up on the sofa. When she saw Fu Chengyan approach, she patted on the seat next to her.

Fu Chengyan sat down and pulled Shi Nuan into his embrace as they lay on the sofa together. He had one hand on the remote and the other stroking Shi Nuan’s head. “Zhou Zheng has been with me for many years. If you need something and can’t get me, you can go to him right away.”

“Alright!” Shi Nuan nodded in acknowledgment. When she reached out her right hand and admired the shiny ring on her hand, she felt that she couldn’t be happier. “Yan.”

“Hmm?” Fu Chengyan raised his eyebrows. “What is it?”

“I love you!” Shi Nuan stretched herself straight to put her arms around his neck and kissed his neck. Fu Chengyan hugged her tightly and kissed her back. “Why did you suddenly say that you love me, hmm? Is there something wrong?”

“No, there isn’t!” Shi Nuan lowered her head bashfully. She fiddled with her own ring before fiddling with Fu Chengyan’s. “I just realized that I loved you more now!”

“Is that so?” Fu Chengyan sank himself into the sofa as he hugged Shi Nuan’s waist. With one arm on the sofa, he leaned into Shi Nuan’s ear and said, “What a coincidence… I love you more too!”
