I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 413

Upon seeing how sincere Shi Nuan looked, Fu Ling turned to Fu Chengyan before shaking her head. “That’s okay. I have to visit my kid at the hospital.” Just as she was about to walk away, Shi Nuan hurriedly held onto her hand. “Bai, right? Yan mentioned him once, and he said that he’s really cute. Can… Can I see him?”

Shi Nuan looked completely earnest. She didn’t have a trace of pretense in her eyes, so Fu Ling couldn’t bring herself to say no. Especially not after she met Fu Chengyan’s gaze. She had never seen the man look guilty, but seeing such an expression on his face now really took her by surprise.

Fu Ling pursed her lips, unable to turn Shi Nuan down. Noticing that Fu Ling wasn’t exactly a ruthless woman, Shi Nuan let go of Fu Chengyan’s hand and held onto hers instead. “Let’s go! I’d really like to see him.”

Looking at Shi Nuan, Fu Ling finally nodded. “Okay. But Bai’s a little timid, so he may not want to talk.”

“That’s fine!” Shi Nuan smiled sweetly and headed back into the hospital while holding Fu Ling’s hand.

Then, with her free hand, she signaled Fu Chengyan to come along.

Fu Chengyan’s eyes gleamed slightly. He couldn’t help but curl his lips as he quickly caught up to them.

Shi Nuan smiled with relief upon hearing Fu Chengyan’s footsteps. She turned slightly to observe Fu Ling, noticing that the woman looked more defensive ever since she saw Fu Chengyan. Yan must have caused her a lot of trauma back then.

Still, before Fu Ling came back, Yan said she was one of the more capable members of the Fu clan. I thought they were pretty close, but I didn’t think things would turn out this way.

Fu Ling felt uncomfortable being stared at by Shi Nuan, so she pursed her lips. “Is there something you want to tell me, Mrs. Fu?”

Shi Nuan’s heart sank a little upon hearing the way Fu Ling addressed her. “Honestly, Ling, you and Huan are both Yan’s sisters, so you can just call me Shi Nuan or Nuan.” Shi Nuan continued to hold her hand, refusing to let the woman escape. “You may not know this, but Yan mentioned you when I had just gotten married to him.”

“What?” Fu Ling was visibly taken aback. She didn’t expect Shi Nuan to tell her this, nor did she expect Fu Chengyan to ever talk about her.

Shi Nuan smiled, seemingly satisfied with Fu Ling’s expression. “Yan used to talk about you a lot.”

“Is that so?” Fu Ling’s lips curled slightly. It was clear that she was skeptical.

“Yeah! Yan’s never been good at expressing himself. He doesn’t even tell me how he feels about me. I had to force him to tell me when he started liking me!” Shi Nuan replied cheerily. “He actually had a crush on me ever since he was a teenager; can you believe that?”

Teenager?

Fu Ling arched her brow. “You mean my brother… Fu Chengyan’s been into you since a long time ago?” She was astounded. In fact, she couldn’t quite believe it.

Shi Nuan nodded. “That’s right. That’s why you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. Yan often does things that he refuses to tell me about, but he helps me whenever I need him the most. Sometimes, actions speak louder than words.”

Then, Shi Nuan patted Fu Ling’s hand. “I don’t know what happened between the two of you, but from what Yan’s told me before, aside from Uncle Heng, Aunt Ning, and Pei Huan, you’re the person he’s the closest to in the Fu clan.”

Fu Ling began to tremble, and her eyes obviously showed that she was in disbelief.

Shi Nuan couldn’t help but sigh internally. “There’s no reason for me to lie to you. I know I’ve only met you twice, Ling, but Yan really treats you as his own little sister. It has nothing to do with anyone else’s status or background.”

Fu Ling’s eyes softened a little, but she remained silent.

Just as the three arrived at the children’s ward on the third floor, Fu Ling’s footsteps became especially light. She also became even more hushed upon reaching Bai’s ward. Shi Nuan glanced at Fu Chengyan, who was behind, and the latter nodded.

With that, she followed Fu Ling into the ward, where Bai had just woken up. The nurses had taken good care of him, but his nose was red from crying because he hadn’t seen Fu Ling all day. The boy immediately smiled the moment he caught sight of her. “Mommy!”

“Bai!” Fu Ling walked over and sat him up on the bed. “The nurse said you cried your butt off,” she teased while pinching his nose.

“No, I didn’t!” Bai shook his head and turned away to wipe his tears. “I’m a tough man, Mommy. I never cry! But why are you only here now, Mommy? I missed you so much.”

“Mommy was at work, Darling. Mommy has to earn work hard so you can eat lots of good food!” Fu Ling’s eyes were filled with warmth as she gently stroked the boy’s cheek. “Did you eat your food today, Bai?”

“I did, Mommy. You can ask the nurse if you don’t believe me. I’ve been a good boy!”

“Yes, you are indeed a good boy! Let Mommy reward you.” Fu Ling kissed him on the forehead.

Beaming with delight, Bai reached out to pull Fu Ling by the hand. Seeing this, the woman leaned over so the boy could kiss her cheek. “I love you, Mommy!”

“I love you too, Bai.” Fu Ling never stopped smiling the entire time.

Shi Nuan felt rather moved by the scene. Perhaps she could relate to how Fu Ling felt because she was pregnant too. On top of that, Bai really was an adorable child.
