I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 422

Shi Nuan’s social media friends went into a frenzy when they saw her post as she awaited Zhou Zheng to pick her up at the hospital.

Song Rongrong and Su Yian immediately commented below her post: You’re pregnant? Why didn’t you tell us about it?

There was also Pei Jingxiu and others who had been invited to follow one another on social media out of courtesy. Everyone commented below Shi Nuan’s post the moment they saw it. Everyone except for Fu Chengyan and Su Shaoqing.

One was in the middle of a meeting, whereas the other one was performing surgery, so of course they had yet to see it.

Amongst those who commented was Shen Shixiu. He had been friends with Shi Nuan on social media even though Shi Nuan never knew who he was.

He was busy with work when he saw Shi Nuan’s pregnancy post. Since he had turned on post notifications from Shi Nuan, he could see all of her posts the first moment they appeared.

The smile on his face was a little awkward when he read her post.

The man he was negotiating with couldn’t help but narrowed his eyes when he saw the look on Shen Shixiu’s face. “Mr. Shen?”

Shen Shixiu put his phone down and gestured for the man to continue with the negotiation. “I’m so sorry.”

Jiang Zhan was already waiting for Shen Shixiu outside the building when the two finally reached a deal. “Sir, I’ve booked the flight tickets to the capital. We’ll be flying at noon the day after tomorrow.”

Shen Shixiu nodded. “How is it going with Shen Qianan?”

“Everything is fine.” What could possibly go wrong with her? Shen Qianan had been dealt a devastating blow ever since she found out she was just a stand-in for Shi Nuan. In the past few days she had locked herself in the hotel room, refusing to see anyone and barely ate anything.

Although Jiang Zhan had been working for a long time under Shen Shixiu, he always felt that his boss’ methods of handling sticky situations were especially heartless. Shen Qianan was Shen Shixiu’s sister, but the way he treated her was no better than a stranger.

Shen Shixiu swept his gaze over to Jiang Zhan and the latter immediately lowered his head. He knew deep down that he was in no position to interfere.

Shen Shixiu raised his hand. “Are there any updates on Fu Chengyan?”

“Fu Chengyan is still investigating Ms. Shi’s birth family.” Jiang Zhan paused before continuing, “Oh right, Fu Chengyan is investigating Ms. Shen these days!”

“Shen Qianan?” Shen Shixiu was stunned and frowned. “Is there anything else? Did he check out the Shen family, too?”

“He investigated a woman called Shu Qing.”

Shu Qing!

Shen Shixiu paused with a hand on his cufflink as his eyes turned cold. “Why her?”

“Shu Qing will be coming to Jiang City soon to build momentum for a new movie, which will be released early next month.”

“Why did you wait till now to tell me something so important?” Shen Shixiu gave Jiang Zhan a sharp look. Jiang Zhan was taken aback as he stared at Shen Shixiu dumbfounded. He was puzzled as to why he had to inform Shen Shixiu about Shu Qing since she was just an actress.

Shen Shixiu never paid much attention to film stars in the past, even though there had been rumors of him being involved with some of these actresses or models. These celebrities were all young women, whereas Shu Qing was old enough to be his mother.

Of course, Jiang Zhan didn’t say it out loud. He only lowered his head and said, “I’m sorry, it’s my fault.”

Shen Shixiu narrowed his eyes. “When is Shu Qing arriving?”

He grew increasingly hostile as Jiang Zhan didn’t have an answer to his query. He looked at Jiang Zhan sharply and gritted his teeth. One could easily tell he was freaking mad at the moment.

“Check it out right this instance. When is her flight, where will she be heading these days, and who she is meeting. I’ll give you one day to find out. If not, don’t follow me back to the capital.”

“Ok, I will get down to it immediately!”

Shen Shixiu’s brows were knitted tightly as he watched Jiang Zhan scurried off.

Shu Qing! She’s finally back! Don’t blame me for being merciless since you dare to return.

Shen Shixiu pinched his cufflinks and returned to his calm and composed demeanor again.

He took his things, turned around, and saw Shen Qianan standing at the door with Yu in her arms. Shen Qianan was staring at him coldly as if he were a stranger to her.

Shen Shixiu gave Shen Qianan a once-over and noticed she was a little pale. In fact, she didn’t even hear Yu calling out to her.

Shen Shixiu subconsciously frowned, clenched his fists, and pursed his lips.

Shen Qianan stood rooted to the ground, stunned. Her eyes were glazed over and she was at a loss of what to think or do. She turned a little timid when she saw the look on Shen Shixiu’s face.
