I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 301

Being a difficult conundrum, this matter was something that couldn’t be resolved immediately. However, Ning Xin’s performance today made Fu Chengyan certain about one thing.She isn’t completely heartless toward Li Heng. Hence, it was all up to Fu Heng now; if he had nothing to say about this, Fu Chengyan would have a way to bring Pei Huan back.

If it were still possible, Fu Chengyan sincerely hoped that Pei Huan wouldn’t return.However, if someonewere truly trying to stir trouble using this incident, things would get rather dangerous for Pei Huan. Apart from her own parents, the only person who cared for Pei Huan the most was Li Heng. He would be certain to ensure her safety.

“I’ll do my best in this regard, Aunt Ning. You don’t have to worry about Huan.” If Fu Chengyan had already promised to help, Pei Huan would be safe and sound.

Ning Xin nodded. “I’ll give it further consideration.”

“There’s no rush. Shall we head back first, then?”

“Yes, let’s head back. I’ve spoken to your uncle too. He has agreed to allow me to stay with you at the Wutong Residence.”

Shi Nuan let out a sigh in relief. Initially, she was worried that Ning Xin would be upset over what they had done today, meaning that she would refuse to go home with them. Seeing that Ning Xin wasn’t mad at them, she got up and held onto her. “Let’s go home together, Aunt Ning!”

Fu Chengyan rose to his feet too, only for his phone to ring. With a squint, the man took out his phone and paused for a moment before answering it. “What is it?” It was a call from the Fu family home.

“Y-Young Master Chengyan! Your grandfather wishes to see you.” Upon catching wind of the butler’s words, Fu Zhengyun grabbed the phone, his voice blaring across the other end of the line. “Come home right this instant.”

Fu Zhengyun had sounded rather displeased; it was evident that something serious had arisen.

Nonetheless, Fu Chengyan casually sat back down and asked, “Is something up?”

“You’d dare to ask me that? Aren’t you aware of what you’ve done? Tell me! You came over earlier today, didn’t you?” The old man was furious.

“Yes, to take Aunt Ning shopping. What’s wrong? Do you have to poke your nose into something as simple as this?” Fu Chengyan was unaware of the situation at hand, so he spoke carefully.

“It has nothing to do with Ning. Let me ask you this, was there a woman inside your car?”

Fu Chengyan’s eyes suddenly gleamed. Both Shi Nuan and Ning Xin could also detect a difference in the atmosphere. Hence, the two women sat back down. As Shi Nuan poured Ning Xin a cup of tea, she caught sight of Fu Chengyan frowning. “Looks like you’ve found out, Grandpa.”

“How could I not? It was so obvious!” Fu Zhengyun replied frostily. “When did that woman come back? Didn’t you send her away back then?”That woman?

Fu Chengyan glanced sideways at Shi Nuan. Upon seeing that the woman had shot him a gaze of concern, he gave her a reassuring look, telling her not to worry. “You’ve misunderstood, Grandpa.”

“How could I have misunderstood? She looks exactly like—”

“No,” Fu Chengyan cut his grandfather off. “You should know me well enough. I wouldn’t lie to you about such a matter.”

“Then it has to be that lady from your company!” Fu Zhengyun snorted. “Don’t think that I’m not well aware of this. I may be old, but I’m no fool. I’m warning you, break up with that woman at once, or—”

“Or what?” Fu Chengyan chuckled. “I’ll take care of my own matters.”

“No! You have to split up with her. How could that woman ever be worthy of you? If you don’t end things with her, I’m going to have to come between you.”

Fu Chengyan’s gaze darkened as a cold air engulfed him. “Go ahead and try.”

“Oh, I will. Come back this instant, and bring that woman along with you. I’d like to see if she’s that incredible, or if it’s merely the fact that you just can’t let go of her!”

Fu Chengyan put his phone away before looking up at Shi Nuan and Ning Xin.

Shi Nuan was worried to see the man, who was looking rather off. “Is something wrong? Did something happen at work or the Fu family—”

“Not at all. Everything’s fine,” Fu Chengyan answered softly before turning to Ning Xin. “I have to drop by the family home, Aunt Ning. Why don’t you and May head back first?”

Ning Xin seemed to understand what was happening immediately, so she nodded after giving Shi Nuan a glance. “That’s a good idea. I’m kind of tired too. I’d like to go home and get some rest.”

“Alright. I’ll ask Zhou Zheng to send you both home.”

“There’s no need for that, Yan. I can look after Aunt Ning. You should hurry over if you have something to do.” Shi Nuan rarely saw Fu Chengyan looking like such.

“No. I don’t feel safe leaving you on your own—not especially when Aunt Ning isn’t in her best health.” With that, Fu Chengyan gave Zhou Zheng a call before turning back to them. “Wait here, inside the tea house. Zhou Zheng will be here right away.”

“Okay, then.” Truthfully, Shi Nuan was fine on her own, but Ning Xin really did have some health issues. She had to be considerate towards the older woman.
