I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 33

Shi Nuan looked rather unhappy as her grip on Shi Yunsheng’s arm tightened marginally. Shi Yunsheng naturally felt it. His blood began to boil. “It’s my birthday today, and my dear granddaughter is here with me. What embarrassment are you talking about? Is this how you behave as a father!? Hmph!”

Shi Yunsheng supported himself with his cane and stared angrily at Shi Jingzheng. He then smiled and patted Shi Nuan’s hand. “Don’t be afraid, Nuan. With grandpa around, no one will pick on you. Some things should be left behind after they’ve been tainted.”

“What are you talking about, father?” Shi Jingzheng’s expression was beyond ghastly.

Jiang Yu and Shi Wei’s faces didn’t look any better. They both stared at Shi Nuan furiously. Shi Nuan merely narrowed her eyes and pretended not to see them. Had it not been her grandpa’s birthday today, she definitely wouldn’t have come.

She knew that no one in this house welcomed her, but didn’t expect them to take it this far. Her father, who normally knew his limits, actually ended up doing such a thing on her grandpa’s birthday. She was now aware of her father’s true character.

“I’ll sit down with you, grandpa!” Shi Nuan said with a smile. “Look at how many guests there are today. They’re all here to celebrate with you.” Saying that, she held the old man’s arm and was about to walk away with him.

Shi Jingzheng was red with anger, but he couldn’t say whatever he wanted with all these people around.

Suddenly, the crowd began to stir and the guests to called out one after another. Shi Nuan looked towards the crowd and saw a person walking into the large room. The tall man walked steadily and had such an aura that nobody dared near him. His arrival had caused such a commotion that Shi Nuan’s incident was put on the backburner.

The man wore a black suit that was perfectly tailored to accentuate his handsome appearance. He walked with confidence and stead, followed by an equally well-dressed man. The other man held a gift in his hands and walked towards Shi Nuan.

The guests began to talk among themselves. “Isn’t he… That guy from the Fu family?”

“Isn’t that Mr. Fu?”

“My god! The Shi family is so well-known that even the Fu family’s second master would come.”

“But to me, it’s not because of the Shi family. It’s clearly because the Fu family is here. Have you forgotten that the Shi family’s young lady is engaged to someone from the Fu family?”

Shi Wei couldn’t keep her eyes off the dazzling man. She then looked at Fu Xicheng and asked suspiciously, “Since when was there such a man in your family, Xicheng? And he’s what – the second master?”

Fu Xicheng pursed his lips and turned to his father, feeling complicated. But with Fu Chengyan’s arrival, it was indeed a moment of pride for the Fu family. So he smiled and said, “He’s Fu Chengyan, a member of the Fu family.”

“Fu Chengyan.” So he’s Fu Chengyan – the second young master of Jiang City’s Big Four!

Shi Wei was astounded as she grabbed onto Fu Xicheng’s hand rather happily. “He’s THAT Mr. Fu?”

While Shi Wei was excited, Shi Nuan was much calmer on the other hand. She cast a complicated glance at the person walking towards her. That man had his own unique aura, turning heads wherever he went. He strode over confidently and stood in front of her under everyone’s eager gaze.

Shi Nuan didn’t know why, but her heart suddenly beat wildly. She looked at Fu Chengyan, her eyes meaningful as she asked, “What are you doing here?”

Fu Chengyan merely took a quick glance at Shi Nuan before looking away and signaling to the man next to him. Zhou Zheng immediately came over and held a gift box in front of Shi Nuan. “This is Mr. Fu’s birthday gift to Mr. Shi. Wishing you a long life with great prosperity.”

Shi Yunsheng looked at Fu Chengyan suspiciously. This young man looked rather pleasant, but Shi Yunsheng didn’t know who he was. Still, Shi Yunsheng had been alive for many decades, so he certainly knew how to handle such a situation. He lifted his gaze beckoned Shi Nuan to accept the gift.
