I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 42

Shi Nuan was startled when the man took her phone away. Fu Chengyan raised his brows at her suspiciously, “You’re reluctant?”

Shi Nuan pursed her lips in displeasure. She didn’t know what Fu Chengyan was implying, but ever since Fu Xicheng had cheated on her with Shi Wei, she had already given up on that man. “No!”

“Really?” Fu Chengyan snorted in disbelief.

Fu Chengyan obviously didn’t believe her. But on second thought, who was Fu Chengyan to her? Their relationship now was not as simple as before. “No matter if you believe it or not, I have nothing to do with Fu Xicheng right now.” Shi Nuan paused, “Don’t worry. Since we’re married, I won’t betray you!”

Fu Chengyan raised his brows in surprise and smiled, “Great. Let me give you a ride back.”

“Okay!”

Shi Nuan knew it was useless to explain. The man was an adult who could think for himself. She couldn’t influence him at all.

Fu Chengyan had come to Shi Nuan’s neighborhood before, so he drove there without getting lost. When Shi Nuan was about to get out of his car, Fu Chengyan stopped her. Shi Nuan’s hand that was holding the handle stilled as she turned to him. “What’s wrong?”

Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes. “I know that this marriage came out of the blue, but that is our reality now, and I hope you remember that!”

Shi Nuan frowned. She was taken aback and stared at Fu Chengyan without a word.

Fu Chengyan furrowed his brows. “Got it?”

The man was used to being in control of others, but he was cautious whenever it concerned Shi Nuan. Shi Nuan’s lips thinned before she nodded, “Give me some time.”

They were married, but it had been less than 24 hours since she carelessly got herself married. Shi Nuan was in a daze, but she knew she was married, and there were bound to be changes in her life.

The corners of her lips tilted upwards as she tried to appease him, “Actually, you don’t have to remind me. Since I’ve married you, I’ll do whatever married couples do—”

“Shi Nuan!” Fu Chengyan cut her off. There was a hint of amusement in his eyes. “Don’t panic. I’m just making small talk. I won’t gobble you up like a tiger.”

Shi Nuan forced an awkward smile on her face. You’re scarier than a tiger, she thought. But of course, she didn’t say that out loud. She merely replied with a smile, “Okay!”

“Go. You must be tired since last night. Be careful and don’t get a cold.” Fu Chengyan’s gaze settled on Shi Nuan when he said that, but Shi Nuan started blushing because of his reminder.

Nothing happened between them last night, but Fu Chengyan’s words were ambiguous. Anyone’s imagination would run wild upon hearing his words, let alone Shi Nuan, who wasn’t a carefree person.

Shi Nuan blushed and gripped the handle tighter. “You—”

“Three days. After three days, I’ll come pick you up!”

“Eh?” Shi Nuan gazed at Fu Chengyan in surprise. “What’s happening in three days?”

Fu Chengyan grinned, “Do you think we’re going to live separately after getting married?” He stressed on the words “live separately”, causing a tremor to run through her body.

An embarrassed look crept onto her face. That look was evidence enough that she had never thought about living together as a married couple.

Shi Nuan relaxed her grip and leaned back in the seat. Her slightly awkward actions revealed her thoughts.

Shi Nuan was nervous, and she could feel her palms perspiring. She clenched her fists before relaxing them. “I-I’m sorry. I’m not prepared for that!”

Although they were married, Fu Chengyan was still a stranger to Shi Nuan.

All she knew about him was that the man was the CEO of Shengyuan Group, and that he was one of the Jiang City’s Big Four, hence no one dared to go against him. She knew nothing else about him.

Shi Nuan didn’t know Fu Chengyan’s preferences, family life and social connections.

Shi Nuan was only beginning to realize how careless she was. She had entrusted her future to a man she knew nothing about. Plus, she had only met him a few times prior to their marriage! Shi Nuan massaged her temples as she felt a headache forming. She gave herself a few light slaps to sober up before sheepishly asking, “Mr. Fu, can I retract my decision to marry you?”

Fu Chengyan raised his brows and glanced at Shi Nuan.

In the past few minutes, he watched as Shi Nuan’s expression changed from torn to regretful, and to frustration, finally settling on something that looked akin to insanity. None of them were positive.

Am I that unreliable in her heart? She regrets getting married to me just after a few hours?

Shi Nuan gazed at Fu Chengyan hopefully, but the man raised his brows with a smile on his face. He seemed to be in a good mood, but his next words dashed all her hopes immediately.
