I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 39

Fu Chengyan finally packed up his work when it was past midnight. He then lit a cigarette and stood on the balcony gazing at the sky. It was deep into the night, and the Wutong Residence was surrounded by complete darkness. He let go only after the cigarette had been put out. Those pair of sharp eyes looked brighter than usual under the night sky.

Fu Chengyan dropped by the master bedroom. At this time, Shi Nuan was already sleeping peacefully, but the man continued to watch over her lest the drug took effect again.

As he stood by the bedside gazing down upon Shi Nuan, he noticed that the woman’s initially scarlet face had now returned to normal. She looked exquisite.

Fu Chengyan could tell at first glance that Shi Nuan was a beautiful woman. He just didn’t expect her to look this good.

With a smile, he pulled the blanket over her with his slender fingers. This woman looked rather unruly when she slept. This demeanor was different from her usual appearance on the surface. It was probably too warm for her and she gave the blanket a kick, revealing her bare shoulder.

At that very moment, Fu Chengyan’s gaze deepened and his breathing became more rapid. He lowered his head to look at the sleeping Shi Nuan, then glanced at his own body. He was now feeling rather despicable about himself.

It seemed like ever since Fu Chengyan had met this woman, he…hadn’t quite been able to restrain himself.

The phone by the window suddenly rang, sounding especially loud in the silent night.

With a darkened gaze, Fu Chengyan walked over and picked up Shi Nuan’s phone. There were a few missed calls. Aside a few calls from Shi Yunsheng and Jiang Shizheng, Fu Xicheng’s number dominated the call log.

Fu Chengyan’s lips curled into a smile. He muted the phone and let it flicker on its own, paying it no heed.

This man had always been a bit of a troublemaker!

Shi Nuan couldn’t really sleep well. The front half of her body felt like it was on fire, whereas the back felt like it was immersed in ice. It was only after she began to warm up slightly that she felt more relaxed and comfortable.

But for some reason, Shi Nuan kept feeling as though there was someone gazing at her from behind. She even felt the chills in her dreams.

She opened her eyes to find herself in an unfamiliar room. Shi Nuan was naturally in a daze after waking up. She stared dumbfoundedly at everything in this room. The lack of familiarity made her feel unsafe, especially since an air of masculinity filled the room.

The thought of this made Shi Nuan quickly pull her blanket aside and look at her clothes.

Her black evening gown was gone and had been replaced by a man’s white long-sleeved shirt.

The shirt was so big that it reached her thighs, looking a bit funny on her. She stared at what she was wearing in shock and slowly began to come to her senses.

It was grandpa’s birthday party last night and she had gone to the Shi family villa to celebrate. Then, Shi Wei had tried to make things difficult for her. This was then followed by her own father calling her over, drugging her and sending her to Yun Shen. Then… Fu Chengyan’s face suddenly flashed in her mind. It was him?

As the memories from last night began to resurface in her mind, Shi Nuan turned pale and couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

She knew how much her parents favored her sister, but she had believed that no matter what, they were still her parents. Yet, Shi Nuan had not expected that they would sacrifice her just for the sake of Shi Wei and Huancheng. They had actually sent her to Yun Shen in exchange for two hundred million worth of funds.

So these are my own parents. So they’ve never actually thought about me at all.

Marriage?

If the agreement was to get me to marry him, why would they send me to his bed in such a rush?

“You’re awake?”

A man’s clear voice rang across the room, interrupting Shi Nuan’s thoughts. She cautiously took a few steps backwards, only to accidently bump into the bed behind her and fall onto it. She looked rather pale.

Fu Chengyan raised an eyebrow at the sight of Shi Nuan behaving this way. Is she frightened?

Realizing how she had overreacted, Shi Nuan smiled awkwardly. “Mr. Fu!”

“Mhm,” Fu Chengyan nodded. “Good to see you’re awake. Are you feeling unwell? There’s some medicine on the table for your fever.”

“Fever?” Shi Nuan asked in shock. “I don’t have a fever. Was it you who saved me last night, Mr. Fu?”

Fu Chengyan squinted and replied with a smile, “Obviously!”

Shi Nuan took a deep breath. She didn’t want to be indebted to this man, but he had still saved her. “Thank you! But my…” Shi Nuan awkwardly looked at the clothes she was wearing. “These clothes.”

“I changed you into it!” Fu Chengyan said without any hesitation. “There were no maids or women in this house, so I’m sorry about this, Ms. Shi.”

Shi Nuan bit her lip as she blushed. How could he say such a thing so straightforwardly?

Shi Nuan was rather embarrassed, feeling as though she had exposed her entire being to Fu Chengyan, which seemed to be a regular occurrence when she was around him. “Ah… That’s not what I meant. I’m asking where my clothes are!”
