I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 377

Shi Nuan immediately let go of Fu Chengyan’s hand that she was holding right after they got out of Fu Residence. The abrupt change left him in a dazed state. With a deadpan face, she continued walking without waiting for him.

After a while, Fu Chengyan frowned a little with an intimidating look in his eyes while catching up to her speedily. “May!”

Ignoring Fu Chengyan, Shi Nuan continued striding toward the door of his Maybach and came to a stop.

Fu Chengyan came over to Shi Nuan’s side with quick and steady steps. He tried to grab her hand, but she withdrew it before he could manage to touch it. Fu Chengyan’s own hand was left outstretched in the air as Shi Nuan glared icily at him.

The two stood still while staring at each other without uttering a single word. Fu Chengyan had never seen such an unfamiliar look in her eyes before this. It was exceedingly aloof, which stirred up uneasiness in his heart.

Shi Nuan stretched her hand out after a long moment of silence. “Key!”

Stunned for a moment, Fu Chengyan stared at her. Shi Nuan’s eyelashes fluttered briefly before she said, “Give me the key if you’re not gonna leave. I want to go home.”

Upon hearing that, Fu Chengyan responded, “Okay.”

Without delay, he took out his car key and opened the door to help her get into the car, but she shoved his hand aside.

He looked at her as she got into the car by herself. A sense of helplessness rose in him as he watched her put her guard up against him and kept him at arm’s length.

Anxiety struck him as Shi Nuan remained muted while sitting quietly after he got into the car. It was as if he was non-existent. “May—”

“Please drive. I don’t want to stay here even for a second,” Shi Nuan interrupted. He had no choice but to abide.

Fu Chengyan drove slowly. It took them over an hour to arrive at Wutong Residence. Neither of them spoke throughout the entire journey.

As Fu Chengyan witnessed Shi Nuan’s figure gradually disappearing after she got off the car and entered the house, he couldn’t help but heave a deep sigh. A few moments later, Zhou Zheng’s call came in. “Mr. Fu, the matter is done.”

“Good. I want to see the report regarding Shen Shixiu on my desk tomorrow morning.” After that, Fu Chengyan ended the call. There was an impassive look in his eyes as he looked out of the window.

Shi Nuan was standing in front of the door of their bedroom when Fu Chengyan reached the second floor. Wasting no time, she handed over a pillow and a blanket to him and said, “Go sleep in the guest room.”

Fu Chengyan’s usual neat look was disorganized by the pillow thrown at him. He met her unwavering gaze and said, “I thought you might have some questions for me.”

Shi Nuan smirked mockingly while looking at him. “Well, I thought you’ll take the initiative to tell me, or at least make an effort to keep them hidden until the very end. But you didn’t.” Then she stood upright and shouted, “I don’t want to talk to you for now! And I don’t want to share a room with you either!”

Meanwhile, Fu Chengyan simply stared at her without moving an inch.

To avoid making rash decisions that she would regret later, along with the reluctance to stay in an awkward atmosphere, she had decided not to see him temporarily.

Fu Chengyan could tell that she was suppressing her emotions. So, he nodded. “Okay.”

With that, he spun around and entered the guest room, which was opposite their bedroom.

Shi Nuan exhaled after he entered the room and leaned against the wall. She smiled bitterly as she stared at the door of the guest room.

In reality, she had mustered every ounce of her strength back at Fu Residence to refrain from losing control of herself. She had only uttered those words back there out of pure exhaustion.
