I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 438

“You want to use me to lure him out?” Shen Qianan already knew what Fu Chengyan was capable of, but she still felt a chill down her spine when she heard what he said. “Fu Chengyan, after all, I stayed by your side for so many years. Furthermore, I went through a lot of trouble for you.”

“How did you think you would be able to stay overseas in peace for the past three years?” Fu Chengyan retorted.

Shen Qianan lost her last bit of dignity with his response. “Did you know that I was coming to find you today?”

“No, I didn’t,” Fu Chengyan replied.

“That’s impossible!”

Fu Chengyan continued, “Whether you stay here or not, that man will still appear, and it’s just a matter of time. Is there anything else you need? Otherwise, you can leave now.”

 

Shen Qianan could not remember how she left Shengyuan. She only remembered stumbling out of his office after being humiliated by Fu Chengyan in front of Shi Nuan.

She wandered on the street, not knowing where she should go or where she could call home. I dont even know the purpose of life or what is there to live for.

 

Her unfortunate childhood did not make her feel inferior nor discouraged. However, she felt so small in front of Fu Chengyan. To make things worse, she realized that he had never loved her, not even the slightest bit.

Although she knew it earlier, she still felt miserable when he made it clear to her and tried to cut all their ties.

She did not know how long she had been walking nor where she was. Staring blankly at the traffic on the road outside, she watched the people walking past her. The pedestrians came and went.

A blockbuster trailer was showing on a big screen from a distance away. Shen Qianan raised her head to see a somewhat familiar yet unfamiliar face, and her last line of defense collapsed.

She rushed forward desperately towards the big screen. She wanted to ask why that woman why did she even returned.

However, a strong force pulled her backward, and in the next second, she felt a sharp pain in her arm. Then, she heard a man’s cold voice, “Are you courting death?”

Her eyes widened when she saw Shen Shixiu in front of her. She tried to push him away to escape but was still caught by him. “Shen Qianan, what on earth are you trying to do?”

“Let go of me! Stop bothering me!” Shen Qianan struggled against his grip.

“If I don’t care about you, who else will?” Shen Shixiu frowned, then glanced at Shen Qianan. There was anger in his eyes, and he raged, “Where were you?”

“Why do you even care?”

“Did you go look for Fu Chengyan?” Shen Shixiu could guess it without having to think about it. With Shen Qianan’s temperament, she would not leave so easily.

Since she did not want to leave, Fu Chengyan would be the first person who she thought could help her. However, he was also the same person who pushed her into a dead end. Yet, she never knew about it.

“Are you done with your tantrum?” Shen Shixiu demanded.

“I told you not to care about me anymore.” Shen Qianan looked at Shen Shixiu in annoyance. “Who are you to meddle with my affair? Who do you think you are?”

“I dare you to repeat yourself.” Shen Shixiu sounded cold, and he squeezed Shen Qianan’s arm tightly. His voice was laced with hostility, and it made Shen Qianan’s tremble uncontrollably in fear. “Let go of me!”

“I want you to leave this place with me. You know that I will never change my mind once I’ve decided. You have to leave with me tomorrow!” Shen Shixiu ordered while dragging her by her arm across the road to the opposite side.

Jiang Zhan saw Shen Shixiu walking over and hurriedly opened the door. He greeted, “Hello, Sir.”

Shen Shixiu squinted at him and asked, “Where is Yu?”

“He is inside, taking a nap,” Jiang Nan reported.

“Yu!” Shen Qianan called out.

Her face turned pale, and she hurriedly pushed Shen Shixiu away to get into the car. She only let out a sigh of relief after she saw Yu sleeping peacefully.

She tilted her head and met Shen Shixiu’s gaze. “Yu is still a child. Why do all of you have to use him to threaten me?”

“All of us? Are you talking about Fu Chengyan too?” Shen Shixiu curled his lips. Noticing that, Shen Qianan was startled and stared at Shen Shixiu in a daze.

Meanwhile, Shen Shixiu raised his eyebrows and got into the car before closing the door. “Jiang Zhan, you can start driving now,” he ordered.

“Yes, sir!” Jiang Zhan acknowledged.

Immediately, he got into the car and started the engine.

Shen Qianan was sitting next to Yu. However, because Shen Shixiu was coming closer, she subconsciously stiffened while holding her child in her arms protectively.

Shen Shixiu narrowed his eyes. Looking at how Shen Qianan was reacting, he could not help but show an unpleasant expression on his face. He growled, “You’d rather look for Fu Chengyan than to trust me?”

“Well, do you deserve my trust?” Shen Qianan sneered. “Three years ago, all of you left me in the lurch, and from then onwards, I never pinned any more hopes on you nor anyone from the Shen family.”

Shen Shixiu nodded. “It’s up to you.”

“You…”

Meanwhile, he took out his cigarette pack and squeezed it. His gaze fell on the big screen outside the car window, still showing the trailer. “That woman will be here next month in the capital and Jiang City. Don’t you want to meet her after so many years?”

“Shen Shixiu, you are just trying to take revenge on me!” Shen Qianan suddenly yelled, and she unintentionally awakened her child.

Is that important to me?

I want to figure it out too.
