I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 384

“Ms. Shen, why are you just standing there? Take a seat!” Shi Nuan smiled warmly at Shen Qianan as if she owned the place. “Look, there’s an unoccupied spot!”

Shen Qianan glanced at Fu Zhengyun in embarrassment. Even though Fu Zhengyun was angry, he never expected Shi Nuan to be so thick-skinned and was rather taken aback.

Shi Nuan’s kind and gentle temperament made it difficult for Fu Zhengyun and Shen Qianan to nitpick her actions. Meanwhile, Song Zhenyan, who hadn’t spoken at all, looked at Shi Nuan in astonishment.

Sensing that someone was looking at her, Shi Nuan raised her head and met Song Zhenyan’s gaze. Mildly surprised, she gave Song Zhenyan a friendly smile. Song Zhenyan frowned and didn’t say anything.

She was in a precarious position at the moment and didn’t want to mess up. She knew that Fu Chengyan wore the pants in the Fu family. Even if this was Fu Zhengyun’s home, he still had to listen to Fu Chengyan. As for Shen Qianan… She wasn’t someone who would easily succumb to threats.

Song Zhenyan glanced at Shi Nuan, then turned to Fu Chengyan and Fu Jiayu. She was now abandoned by the Song family and could only rely on her children. The problem was that she was also estranged from her children. To win the trust of Fu Chengyan and Fu Jiayu, she needed to depend on Shi Nuan. So, she couldn’t ruin her relationship with Shi Nuan for the time being.

The Fu family gradually arrived. When they mentioned Pei Huan and Bao, everyone suddenly fell silent. Pei Huan was the belatedly recognized child of the Fu family. Both Fu Heng and Ning Xin felt bad about this. Meanwhile, Fu Zhengyun was ambivalent toward Pei Huan.

Given Pei Huan now had Li Heng’s backing, Fu Zhengyun naturally wished that Pei Huan would return.

While everyone’s mind was preoccupied, the servant brought Yu down. “Ms. Shen, Yu has awakened. He said he wanted to look for you!”

When the servant mentioned Yu, the mood suddenly became frosty. Shocked, Fu Chengyan looked at Shen Qianan, who immediately rose and took Yu from the servant’s arms. She gently cradled Yu. “Yu, Mommy is here!”

“Ms. Shen!” Fu Chengyan suddenly spoke, “I heard that your brother will be coming to Jiang City?”

Hugging Yu, Shen Qianan’s hand trembled slightly and her face stiffened. Bending down to look at Yu, she concealed her glazed-over eyes. “I don’t know. I haven’t contacted him in a long time!”

“Is that so?” Fu Chengyan curled his lips. “I heard Mr. Shen will be coming to Jiang City soon. You’re the young madam of the Shen family. It must not be easy for you to live abroad and raise a child without family around.”

Shen Qianan froze. “Yan, what do you mean by this?”

“Oh, nothing!” Fu Chengyan laughed and got to his feet. Looking down at Shen Qianan, he said, “I just told your brother that you’re currently staying at the Fu Residence. Your brother must miss you after not seeing you for so long!”

Just as Fu Chengyan finished his sentence, the butler hurried over. “Master, a man who says he is Mr. Shen has come to look for Ms. Shen!”

Hearing this, Shen Qianan’s expression changed. Her arms slackened and Yu almost fell to the floor. Fortunately, Fu Chengyan reacted quickly and caught Yu.

Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes and placed Yu down. Hiding his smile, he asked, “Ms. Shen, why are you so anxious?” He glanced at the butler. “Ask Mr. Shen to come in!”

“Yes, Sir!”

Soon after, the butler brought a man in.

The man, wearing a brown suit with a jacket in hand, strode in confidently.

There was a frosty look on his face and his thin lips were slightly pursed. He frowned upon spotting Shen Qianan, but when he then looked up and saw Shi Nuan standing behind Fu Chengyan, his eyes twinkled. “Old Master Fu!”

Fu Zhengyun squinted and fixed his gaze on the man. This man radiated a regal sense of confidence not found in most people.

“Who are you?”

“Shen Shixiu!” Shen Shixiu smiled faintly. “I met Mr. Fu several days ago and found out that my sister was staying here. I hope I’m not disturbing you.” As Shen Shixiu spoke, he glanced at Shen Qianan. “Come over!”

“Shixiu!”

“Uncle!”

They called out simultaneously. Both Shen Qianan and Shi Nuan were stunned as they stared at Shen Shixiu.
