I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 444

“Your family affairs are none of my business. I just want to tell you this. All these years, none of them, including Sheng, Yan, Jiayu or Ling, has lived a happy life. You only feel that everyone had done you wrong, but who’s the one who caused things to turn out this way?” Ning Xin stood up. “That’s all I want to say. It’s up to you to decide what you’re going to do next.”

I can only be a mediator between them. Zhenyan and Yan’s relationship will not change unless she takes the first step. ”Jiayu is married and has her own family now. You should be grateful that she isn’t affected by you.”

The woman couldn’t help but quiver. “Ning Xin!”

After a brief pause, Ning Xin scrutinized her while letting out a sigh. “I know you want to make peace with Jiayu and Yan, or else you wouldn’t have looked for me today.”

Song Zhenyan smile ruefully. “Do you find someone like me ridiculous? Back then, I was the one who…” Her voice got stuck in her throat. “But now Jiayu is married. She treated me like an enemy the last time I saw her.”

“Are you worried that it’s too late to make amends now?” Ning Xin understood her concerns. After all, the hurts that she had brought upon her children were beyond repair. “Where there’s a will, there’s a way. As long as you can still see them. I can help you if you want to meet up with Jiayu. As for Yan, if you want to be on good terms with him, then stop trying to split him and Nuan up.”

Shi Nuan?

Song Zhenyan thought of the woman who looked exactly the same like Shen Qianan, yet they were utterly different in terms of character.

I’ve never expected my son to be with a woman like her. She’s completely different from the kind of woman whom I imagined my son would be with. ”Yan loves her deeply, so Nuan is the key if you want to reconcile with him.”

“Are you asking me to please her?”

Ning Xin sneered, “Please her? Nuan doesn’t need that. Yan won’t mistreat you, provided that you don’t make things difficult for his wife and get along well with her. I believe you both will get closer to one another as time goes. Trust me, she’s a kind-hearted woman, and Yan isn’t heartless as well.”

I’ve said more than enough. The rest is up to Song Zhenyan herself.

Going upstairs, Ning Xin ran into Fu Sheng, who was standing at the doorway of his room and waiting anxiously. Taking a deep breath, Ning Xin walked over to him. “Sheng.”

“Hello, Ning Xin.” Fu Sheng seemed a little embarrassed, as if he were caught red-handed. “Have you finished talking to Zhenyan?”

Ning Xin gave him a nod. “Are you worried about her?”

Fu Sheng seemed abashed. Glancing at his shy expression, she chuckled. “You don’t have to feel shy. She’s your wife, and it’s totally normal that you worry about her.”

“No, you don’t understand. Zhenyan…” He heaved a sigh. I used to be a competent man, yet Zhenyan is my nemesis.

“She just needs some time to mull things over, so please be patient, Sheng. You both are not getting any younger. Jiayu and Yan are married as well. So don’t dwell on the past anymore. Since Zhenyan is back, you should spend more time with her.”

“As your brother-in-law, I’m such a failure that I need you to guide and advise me.” He shook his head helplessly. “Did she cause you any trouble just now?”

“No.” Seeing Fu Heng coming out of his room, she said, “Sheng, I’ll go back to my room now.”

“Sure.”

She walked over, then Fu Heng held her hand and brought her into the room.

On the other hand, Fu Sheng stood motionless right where he was. After a long while, he finally walked down the stairs.

Ning Xin was right. It’s been many years, and a lot of things had changed as time passed. Fu Sheng himself knew that they were the ones who refused to get over it.

Meanwhile, Song Zhenyan had been sitting downstairs since the talk ended, deep in contemplation of the things that had happened all these years. Just when she was about to stand up, she saw Fu Sheng walking toward her.

He was still the same handsome and dashing man in her memory. Though his hair turned grey, it didn’t taint his good looks and charm. Fu Chengyan looked stunning. Hence, as his father, it’s only fair that he was good-looking.

Staring squarely at one another, both Song Zhenyan and Fu Sheng couldn’t find their words.

Finally, Song Zhenyan broke the ice. “I heard that Fu Ling is back.”

Fu Sheng’s body stiffened at her words. I thought she would either talk about us, Yan, Jiayu or the past.

Yet, she mentions nothing but Fu Ling.

Her name was like a taboo between the couple. It was the trigger of all the conflicts and divisions between them. If Song Zhenyan hadn’t drugged him revengefully, the innocent woman wouldn’t have been dragged into this mess, and Fu Ling wouldn’t have been born.
