I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 292

Song Rongrong was the first to lose her composure and started cackling with glee once they exited the mall. “That was hilarious! Did you see Shi Wei’s face? It was practically distorted! Oh my gosh!”

Song Rongrong couldn’t stop laughing and wanted to pat Su Shaoqing on his shoulder, but realized he was too tall for her to reach. So she turned to Shi Nuan instead. “Speaking of which, what on earth are you and Su Shaoqing playing at?”

Shi Nuan raised her eyebrow and removed Song Rongrong’s hand from her shoulder. “We’re just putting on a show.” She turned to Su Shaoqing. “Where’s Yan? Didn’t you say he was close by?”

Su Shaoqing pretended to look hurt. “Mrs. Fu, do you have to follow in Fu Chengyan’s footsteps and be so heartless? Don’t forget I was the one who helped you earlier. Fu Chengyan only stuck his head in the sand while I had to show up as your fake knight in shining armor and play pretend.”

Shi Nuan couldn’t help but chuckle when she heard Su Shaoqing’s description. But before Shi Nuan could say anything, Song Rongrong jumped in. “So you also know that you’re just a fake?”

Su Shaoqing frowned. “Little lady, you’re being too harsh. But… you were pretty heroic in there just now.”

Song Rongrong tilted her chin and puffed her chest. “Of course! Who do you think I am! But I’ve only been gone for a few months, why do I feel like I’ve missed out on a lot? Just what were you two up to in there?”

“Let’s get in the car first.” Su Shaoqing unlocked the car and let them in before heading to the driver’s seat. He looked towards Shi Nuan, who was sitting next to him. “Fu Chengyan is at Prosperous Dynasty, as is Pei Jingxiu and the lot. Oh, and Ning Xi, that little firecracker!” Su Shaoqing said while starting the ignition.

Shi Nuan was surprised. Prosperous Dynasty was nowhere near where they were, which meant Su Shaoqing had clearly rushed over. “How did you know I was in trouble?”

Su Shaoqing only grinned in response. His reply didn’t matter, as Shi Nuan was able to figure it out herself. Fu Chengyan was likely worried about her safety after finding out she had been followed and also after that previous horrifying incident, and so he arranged for bodyguards to watch over her in secret.

So the bodyguards saw us getting into a confrontation with Shi Wei. They reported it to Fu Chengyan, who then sent the fake boyfriend Su Shaoqing over to help us.

Once Shi Nuan figured it out, she stopped interrogating Su Shaoqing. But for Song Rongrong and Si Yian who were sitting in the back, their exchange was like an answer-less riddle – confusing and unsatisfying. However, as curious as they were, they could tell that this was something they weren’t supposed to know and so they tactfully refrained from asking anymore questions.

Shi Nuan, however, was curious about something else. “Why is Ms. Ning a firecracker?” Shi Nuan always felt that she was a good judge of character. She had met Ning Xi a few times, and each time, she always gave off a very calm and quiet vibe. Shi Nuan just couldn’t relate her to a firecracker.

Su Shaoqing again only smiled in response. “Mrs. Fu, this relationship of yours with Fu Chengyan…” He trailed off and changed the topic. “Your sister sure is interesting.”

“Oh?”

“Interestingly shameless, that is.”

Shi Nuan froze for a few seconds. In the backseat, Song Rongrong and Su Yian burst into laughter, and Shi Nuan soon joined in. “You’re right. She is interesting!”

Shi Nuan realized that Su Shaoqing could be quite fun at times. And though he looked like he didn’t take anything seriously, when his help was needed, he fulfilled his role to a tee. Earlier, Shi Nuan had thought that she was hallucinating as Su Shaoqing was acting so out of character.

“Actually, quite a lot of people know about my relationship with Yan. I don’t think we can hide it much longer, and really, we never intended to keep it a secret in the first place.”

“So this means you’re going public?” Su Shaoqing smiled. “That’s such good news. I won’t need to be stuck between you two any longer. It’s absolute torment being your third wheel – I’m forced to watch all your PDA!”

“PDA?” Song Rongrong giggled and leaned forwards. “I’m surprised you know what that is!”

Su Shaoqing raised an eyebrow. “Of course I know what PDA is! Do you think I’m an old fart?”

Song Rongrong coughed back her laughter, then tried to make sense of all the information she had just received. “So, you and Su Shaoqing became a fake couple to fool people? But what I don’t understand is, who is Jiang Shengfan? When Shi Wei heard that name earlier, she looked absolutely terrified. I haven’t heard of this name in Jiang City before, but he should be some incredible person Shi Nuan is intimidated by just the mention of him.”

Shi Nuan thinned her lips. “You have so many questions! Which one do you want me to answer first?”

“The Jiang Shengfan one,” Song Rongrong answered after some thought.

Su Yian suddenly piped up, “The Jiang family from Sheen City?”

Shi Nuan nodded her head in surprise. “How did you know?”

Su Yian smiled. “Did you forget that my family is from Sheen City? I’ve heard people mention a son from the Jiang family. But are you sure you should be using his name? What if they find out? It won’t be good, even though he’s still in Sheen City.”

Su Shaoqing gave Su Yian a good look. “It’s fine. Technically, Ms. Su and I are from the same family.”

Su Yian just smiled in response. She was well-aware that Su Shaoqing was only saying that out of courtesy. They weren’t actually from the same family.
