I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 418

A cold glint was apparent in Jiang Shizheng’s eyes as he stared at Fu Chengyan angrily. Just as he was about to speak, Shi Nuan’s voice was heard, coming from the door, “Why are you guys here, Grandpa? Yan?”

Suppressing his anger, Jiang Shizheng pursed his lips slightly with a gloomy look on his face. In Shi Nuan’s presence, he could only hold back his emotion. “Aren’t you sleepy? Why are you up?”

“I…” Shi Nuan gave Jiang Shizheng and Fu Chengyan an embarrassed look. She couldn’t bring herself to say that her urge to pee had woken her up. “I’m hungry!”

Looking at how embarrassed she was, Jiang Shizheng could not help but chuckle and shake his head. “What’s so embarrassing about being hungry? Let me go and check with Aunt Fei if the dinner is ready!” After speaking, he rose to his feet and left the study.

Shi Nuan looked at him suspiciously as he left, then looked back at Fu Chengyan and asked, pursing her lips slightly, “What’s up with you and Grandpa?” She could sense that the atmosphere just now had been somber.

Shaking his head, Fu Chengyan placed the chess pieces on the chessboard and stood up. He walked up to Shi Nuan and held her hand, a faint frown appearing on his face. “Why is your hand so cold?” Then, he placed her hand into his palm and added, “Did you kick the blanket off?”

“No, I didn’t. I’m not a kid! What did you say to Grandpa? He looks so angry!”

It was not the first time Shi Nuan saw Jiang Shizheng get angry, but it was the first time she saw him get angry with Fu Chengyan. She had always thought that her grandpa was very satisfied with this student of his.

“It’s nothing. He’s just very dissatisfied with my recent performance. He asked me to pay more attention to what I do.” Fu Chengyan did not intend to tell Shi Nuan about the conversation between him and Jiang Shizheng.

Shi Nuan nodded her head. “Your performance some time ago was indeed really unsatisfactory. No wonder Grandpa was dissatisfied with you. I’m warning you – I’m not alone now. There are two people in my belly!” Shi Nuan stated proudly while stroking her belly.

Fu Chengyan couldn’t help but raise his brows and shake his head. He stretched out his hand to flick Shi Nuan’s forehead, saying in a rather helpless tone, “How could I dare to mess with you now? I’m treating you like my queen now. Do you still want to sleep for a while longer?”

Shi Nuan shook her head. “No. Now that I’m up, I don’t feel like sleeping anymore.”

Shi Nuan and Fu Chengyan walked to the living room and saw Jiang Shizheng instructing Aunt Fei to cook. When he saw Shi Nuan and Fu Chengyan, he hurriedly asked the latter to get Shi Nuan to sit down.

Shi Nuan was being treated like a national treasure now. She thought that she was already living like a God when she was merely a couple of months in. Shi Nuan didn’t actually have any pregnancy symptoms at the moment, but since everyone treated her as so, it made her feel weird if she did not go along with it.

“Wanna watch some TV?”

Fu Chengyan handed the remote control to her. Taking it, she turned on the TV out of boredom. After a while of switching the channels, she finally found an entertainment channel. It was playing some latest news about the movie, White Nights. It was said that the male lead and female lead of White Nights would soon come to Jiang City to build momentum for the film at the beginning of next month.

“Look, Yan. This is the movie I was talking about. It’ll be released at the beginning of next month. The female lead is so beautiful. I think her name is Shu Qing or something. By the way, I heard she’s from Jiang City!”

Clank! A loud noise was heard coming from the living room.

Upon hearing the noise, Shi Nuan and Fu Chengyan looked at each other before they hurriedly rose to their feet. Jiang Shizheng was seen standing in the living room while the bowl of fish soup in his hands had spilled on the floor, causing a mess.

“Grandpa?”

Shi Nuan hurriedly walked over. Even Aunt Fei, who was in the kitchen, rushed over anxiously, asking, “Master, are you okay?”

While wiping her hands with her apron, Aunt Fei immediately walked over to help Jiang Shizheng walk to the side. “Master, you should go and have a seat first. I’ll clean this up!”

Then, she went to get a broom and dustpan while muttering, “That was the fish soup Little Miss likes the most!”

“It’s okay, Aunt Fei.” Shi Nuan smiled at her as she walked over to hold Jiang Shizheng’s arm. “What’s wrong with you today, Grandpa? Why are you so absent-minded?” Taking his arm, Shi Nuan walked him to the living room and saw him staring at the TV, which happened to be showing footage of Shu Qing.

“Grandpa, do you know Shu Qing?” Shi Nuan helped him take a seat and then added, “I never thought that you would keep tabs on entertainment news, but Shu Qing is a pretty good actress! I heard that she lived in Jiang Shizheng before she developed her career in Hollywood. She now stars in this movie at the age of forty-six. That’s really rare!” There were basically no celebrities from Z Nation who could shine in Hollywood, but Shu Qing’s acting career was very successful.

Although Shi Nuan didn’t pay much attention to the entertainment news, she knew a little bit about Shu Qing because of Song Rongrong.

Shu Qing?

The look on Jiang Shizheng’s face turned even gloomier as he suddenly pushed Shi Nuan away and asked, “Where’s the remote control?”

“Grandpa?”

After being pushed like this by Jiang Shizheng, Shi Nuan crashed into the sofa. Although she was fine, Jiang Shizheng’s behavior was so strange that she couldn’t help but ask, feeling puzzled, “Grandpa, what’s the matter with you?”

Jiang Shizheng had always been a calm and steady person. His many years of teaching experience had given him a habit of not showing his true emotions easily in front of others, and yet he was now giving himself away in front of Shi Nuan.

As soon as Fu Chengyan saw Shi Nuan being pushed away, he hurried over to stabilize her. “Are you okay?”
