I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 43

Fu Xicheng was upset when the car sped away. He stomped his feet and yelled, “What kind of man hides in a car? Come out if you dare!”

Unfortunately, Fu Chengyan didn’t hear him yell at all. His car vanished from sight, leaving Fu Xicheng in the dust. Fu Xicheng could feel fury building up as he watched the car speeding away, but there was nowhere for him to vent his anger.

Damn it! I’d dated Shi Nuan for a long time, but she had always refused to spend a night with me! But this man who appeared out of nowhere got her to spend the night with him!

Fu Xicheng clenched his jaw. If the man hadn’t refused to get out of the car, he would’ve given him a good beating!

Right now, Fu Xicheng had no idea that his actions would affect his company.

Fu Xicheng gritted his teeth as he watched the car speed away. He had never imagined that the conservative Shi Nuan would spend the night with a man. It never crossed his mind to reflect on what he did last night.

Shi Nuan rushed back home and closed the door before sliding to the ground, panting heavily.

She felt horrible.

Shi Nuan wasn’t reckless by nature and would normally think twice before making a decision, especially one of such importance. She had no idea why she married Fu Chengyan so impulsively today.

It was true that Fu Chengyan was a successful man and that other people would be terrified of him, too. But now that she thought of it, marrying him wasn’t the only way out. Perhaps she had been pushed over the edge by the Shi family last night, as their plan could have ruined her future for real. But now, she had handed her fate to Fu Chengyan instead.

“Oh, Shi Nuan. What have you done?” Shi Nuan clenched her teeth. She remained on the floor for some time before collecting herself and standing to her feet.

She checked her appearance in the mirror. The blushing woman that stared back at her was unfamiliar to her.

She had thought that she would be devastated and heartbroken. After all, her family and the person she held dear to her heart had joined up to betray her. But in reality, it only upset her for a moment before she realized Fu Xicheng wasn’t her everything. He was no sun – there was no reason for her to orbit around him.

Perhaps the Shi family was too desperate to sell her out, or perhaps Fu Xicheng had treated her too mercilessly. After being betrayed, Shi Nuan’s first reaction wasn’t to feel upset. Rather, the first thought to occur was how she could escape the Shi family.

Shi Nuan splashed water on her face to wake herself up before going to her living room. She plopped down on the sofa.

A knock on the door surprised her. After a brief hesitation, she went to the door and looked through the peephole. When she saw Fu Xicheng outside, her brows furrowed.

How dare Fu Xicheng come after what happened last night?

Shi Nuan glared at the man through the peephole. She inhaled deeply and decided not to open the door. But Fu Xicheng wouldn’t stop knocking. His persistence that she once found admirable was now extremely annoying.

Fu Xicheng was still seething at the man who had ignored him downstairs. He knocks grew louder and more aggressive as time went by and Shi Nuan refused to even acknowledge him. Exploding, he yelled, “Shi Nuan, open the door!”

Since Shi Nuan didn’t reply him, Fu Xicheng continued to harass her, “Shi Nuan, I know you’re at home. I saw you come back earlier.”

Shi Nuan raised her brows in alarm.

“I’m worried about you. Where did you go last night? Do you know that your sister and I were worried sick? Why didn’t you come home? We called you so many times, but you didn’t even pick up. Why didn’t you answer our calls? Don’t you know how worried we were?”

“Worried?” Shi Nuan sneered, “Why would you be worried? Weren’t you lot disappointed because Yun Shen didn’t rape me? What are you really worried about?”

The fact that Fu Xicheng joined her parents’ plan to drug her revolted Shi Nuan extremely.

Even when Fu Xicheng started dating Shi Wei, she never thought of taking revenge or hurting them. But what did they do? They plotted to ruin her and even sacrificed her in exchange for Yun Shen’s filthy money!

What would she do if Yun Shen really raped her last night? Or what if Fu Chengyan didn’t arrive in time to bring her away? It would be a wholly different story now if that had happened.

It was her grandfather’s birthday party last night and the Shi family invited distinguished guests from the upper-class society. If those people had seen her in an intimate position with another man, her life would be ruined.
