I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 423

Shi Nuan helped Su Huaibei sit down. “Mr. Su, are you here to visit your friend?”

“Mmhmm. I’m here to see someone I haven’t seen in ages,” Su Huaibei replied. “Young lady, you’re here to visit a friend too? Or are you here for a consultation?”

“Oh, I’m not sick. I’m only here for a check-up.” Shi Nuan was full of smiles. For some unknown reason, she found the middle-aged man quite a lovely person.

Midway through Shi Nuan and Su Huaibei’s conversation, Shi Nuan received a call from Zhou Zheng. There was anxiety in his voice when he spoke, “Mrs. Fu, where are you?”

Shi Nuan glanced at her surroundings. “I am in the hospital’s garden, Mr. Zhou.”

“Okay, wait there for a second. I am coming.”

 

Shi Nuan hung up the call and smiled at Su Huaibei. “Mr. Su, my friend is coming to fetch me soon. It’s nice talking to you.”

Su Huaibei grinned. “Is it your boyfriend?”

 

“Nope.”

Zhou Zheng showed up as Shi Nuan was getting up from her seat. Before he could see the face of the man sitting next to her, Shi Nuan already approached him. “Mr. Zhou!”

Since the man was completely blocked from sight by Shi Nuan, Zhou Zheng didn’t bother anymore. “Mrs. Fu, I’ll send you back to Wutong Residence now.”

On their way to the car, Shi Nuan asked, “Is Yan busy?”

“Yeah. Mr. Fu is having a meeting now.” Zhou Zheng wiped the sweat off his forehead.

“Alright, then send me to the office instead.”

“I’m sorry, Mrs. Fu. I have to send you back home. Mr. Fu wants you to rest after your checkup,” Zhou Zheng hurriedly answered. Of course, he didn’t want to go against his master. “Please let me send you back to the Wutong Residence.”

“Mr. Zhou, it’s still way too early for me to head back home! Just send me to the company. I’ll take responsibility for anything that happens.” Shi Nuan didn’t want to go home so early as there was no one at home. She just didn’t like to be alone in a big, empty house.

Also, Shi Nuan was still in the early days of her pregnancy. She had yet to experience the enervating symptoms that came with it.

Zhou Zheng didn’t want to go against Shi Nuan’s will. Thus, he brought her to Shengyuan.

Even though Fu Chengyan had not officially proclaimed his relationship with Shi Nuan, everyone knew about it. Still, no one dared to talk about the couple openly.

Everyone was surprised to see Shi Nuan and Zhou Zheng showing up at the office as Shi Nuan had been missing from work for the past few days. They watched as Shi Nuan got onto the elevator designated for the directors with Zhou Zheng treading carefully behind her. Immediately, a murmur descended upon the crowd. Everyone was discussing whether Mr. Fu was going to announce his relationship with Shi Nuan soon. Also, there were speculations as to what would happen to Shen Qianan.

Since Shen Qianan wasn’t at the office lately, a number of people pointed out that she must be the third wheel in the relationship between Shi Nuan and Fu Chengyan.

Shi Nuan tuned the voices of these people out completely. Never once had she let their words get to her. However, Zhou Zheng was concerned for Shi Nuan. “Mrs. Fu, don’t ever listen to what they say. Mr. Fu only has you in his heart.”

Shi Nuan merely remained silent in response.

Hmm, Zhou Zheng still doesn’t know me well. If I really mind their gibberish talk, I won’t make it until now.

“When is Yan going to be done with his meeting?”

“Today, he’s discussing with the senior management about an acquisition the company is going to make. I reckon the meeting will take some time.” Zhou Zheng warily looked at Shi Nuan. He read on the internet that pregnant women were more prone to mood swings, and thus he was very mindful of what came out of his mouth. “Mrs. Fu, if you get bored or hungry, just let me know-”

“Mr. Zhou, relax!” Zhou Zheng broke into a soft peal of laughter. At this moment, the doors of the elevator parted. Shi Nuan stepped out of the elevator before Zhou Zheng.

“Mrs. Fu, since Mr. Fu is still in his meeting, do you want to wait for him in his office?”

“Okay!”

With that, the two of them went to Fu Chengyan’s office on the twenty-seventh floor. Zhou Zheng paid extra care to escort the expectant mother to the rest area inside the office. After settling Shi Nuan down, Zhou Zheng checked the time on his wristwatch. Shi Nuan saw and spoke, “Mr. Zhou, actually you don’t have to stay here with me. I am very familiar with Shengyuan.”

“If that’s the case, then can I…”
