I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 364

Shi Nuan bumped into Lin Yu as she was returning to her office. He waved at her. “Shi Nuan, I need to tell you something.”

Shi Nuan put down the things in her hands before heading over to Lin Yu. “Yes, Mr. Lin?”

Lin Yu nodded. “You need to concentrate more on your work. Keep your emotions to yourself.”

Shi Nuan could instantly understand what Lin Yu meant. She smiled at once. “Mr. Lin, you know what kind of person I am. I will never bring my personal affairs to work.”

“That’s good!” Lin Yu nodded. “I don’t wish to see any of my subordinates slowdown in their progress due to their personal matters.” Lin Yu walked into the office with Shi Nuan. “This is the latest proposal we have. It is already finalized since Mr. Fu has already approved it.”

Shi Nuan nodded. “Yes!” Shi Nuan actually knew about it since it was brought up in her conversation with Fu Chengyan yesterday night. “Right now, we just have to prepare the documentation, right? After that, we will be heading to the Prosperous Group to discuss with them the terms of this project. Since Li Heng isn’t around, Mr. Fu asked us to approach Li Xufan or Li Heng’s assistant, Liang Lin instead.”

Lin Yu hummed in agreement. “After everything is settled, the construction will start around March to April. The first phase of the construction will take around half a year.”

“Yep. What did Mr. George say though?”

“Oh, he’s fine with the current arrangement. Right now, we are just waiting for an answer from the Prosperous Group.”

Shi Nuan nodded her head. “Give me a few days’ time. I have some loose ends to tie up.”

“Okay!” Lin Yu nodded. “I think you can leave now.”

“Alright!” Shi Nuan closed the folder containing the documents. “I shall return to my work now.”

“Shi Nuan!” Before Shi Nuan could leave, Lin Yu halted her at the doorstep. Lin Yu cast a puzzled gaze at Lin Yu, “Mr. Lin, is there anything else?”

Lin Yu quirked his lips. “Don’t believe in everything you see.”

Shi Nuan was slightly muddled. She froze in her spot for quite some time before reacting. “I think someone told me that just not long ago. Mr. Lin, please be assured that I will be more mindful.”

Shi Nuan left Lin Yu’s office and took a deep breath before she dove into her work.

Even though Shi Nuan sounded as if she was managing her relationship pretty well, the truth was that there were a lot of questions she needed answers to. Shen Qianan was a big mystery herself Shi Nuan could not wrap her head around. In any case, Shi Nuan could only trust Fu Chengyan’s words and not anyone else’s.

Shi Nuan’s eyes were glued to the documents in front of her but she could not process any of them. There was a messy storm brewing in her mind. After a few minutes of trying to focus, Shi Nuan decided to just rest for a while. She put down her pen and closed her eyes while she lay down on her seat.

Suddenly, she could sense someone approaching her. She opened her eyes and Yuan Jia entered her sight. The latter sized Shi Nuan up before answering, “Shi Nuan, what’s wrong? You look off today.”

Shi Nuan shook her head lightly. “Ah, it’s nothing. I think I slept too late yesterday and I didn’t rest well.” Shi Nuan pinched her forehead. “Is there anything I can help you with?”

“Oh, Mr. Lin wanted me to hand this to you. It’s some data from our most recent calculations. Perhaps you might find it useful!” Yuan Jia dragged a chair over and sat next to Shi Nuan. “You really look like something is wrong with you today. Oh! When I was at the publicity department just now, I overheard some hot gossip!”

“What gossip?” Shi Nuan asked half-heartedly. However, Yuan Jia was still as excited. “Okay, I’m just going to shoot my question point-blank. What is your relationship with Mr. Fu?”

Shi Nuan was stumped. Looking at the anticipation gleaming in Yuan Jia’s eyes, she could only laugh helplessly. “It’s whatever you think it is.”

“Hmm… I think your relationship with Mr. Fu should be… Wait, you are Mr. Fu’s relative, right? Also, how are you related to Shen Qianan?”

Shi Nuan raised an arm in an abrupt move. “Stop right there! Let me tell you something. Shen Qianan has nothing to do with me at all,” Shi Nuan answered with a sigh. “As for what relationship I have with Mr. Fu, I’ll leave it for you to guess.” She gave Yuan Jia a meaningful smile. “Okay, I think it’s time we get to our work. Are you sure you want to talk to me all day and let your work pile up?”

“Ugh, I forgot all about it already.” Yuan Jia got up in a hurry. “I still a bunch of data analysis to make. Shi Nuan, I am not going to let you evade my question. I’m coming back for you later!”

Yuan Jia’s plan to look for Shi Nuan after work to get her answers fell through. Right after work, Shi Nuan gave Fu Chengyan a phone call to discuss whether would they go out to eat that night or prepare dinner at home. But before their discussion was done, Shi Nuan was blocked by someone.

She was on her phone as she tapped out of the company with her employee pass. The moment she stepped out of the building, she was greeted by the sight of Shen Qianan. Shi Nuan smiled at her. “You’re looking for me?”

Shen Qianan nodded. Shi Nuan writhed her lips and told the person on the other end of the call, “I’m afraid I may not be able to have dinner with you later. My friend just asked me out for dinner. You just have your dinner by yourself.”

Shi Nuan hung up her call and smiled politely at Shen Qianan. “Ms. Shen, right? What are we talking about?”

Shen Qianan also beamed in response. “The call is from Yan?”

She thinks that I am Yan’s sister?
