I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 446

“Shen Qianan, do you think you know me that well?” Shen Shixiu reached out for her neck and the glare in his eyes made her tremble. “I…hack, hack…let go of me!”

Shen Shixiu kept staring at Shen Qianan, like he was watching a person that was fighting for their life.

Shen Qianan’s face grew redder as the oxygen in her brain became thinner. Just as she thought that Shen Shixiu was going to strangle her to death, he suddenly released her.

He pulled out a handkerchief to wipe his hands and stared at Shen Qianan coldly, “How does death feel like?”

“Shen Shixiu, you are a devil!”

Shen Shixiu laughed, “Is that so? You mean this scares you?”

Shen Qianan’s face was pale because she lacked oxygen for a long time and was experiencing lightheadedness. When she saw Shen Shixiu’s face, she wanted to step forward to scratch him, but he avoided her easily.

Shen Shixiu patted the dust away and the glare in his eyes subsided, “It’s getting late. You can stay here with Yu!”

Shen Qianan finally heaved a huge sigh of relief when she saw Shen Shixiu leave. She fell onto the chair and stared blankly at the door.

Shen Shixiu was really frightening. Just now, she really thought that she was going to die. She believed that based on Shen Shixiu’s personality, he really could have strangled her to death.

Come to think of it, what was she thinking about when she provoked him just now.

Shen Shixiu had arranged for them to meet at South Mountain, and there was a restaurant there serving authentic Jiang City cuisine. Shi Nuan came here with her friend before. This restaurant had been around for some time. From the outside, it did not look like it was anything special, but this restaurant stood out for being very exquisite, and the view inside was awesome.

This restaurant was supposedly built according to Suzhou gardens back in those days, which cost a lot of manpower and material resources, but it looks very simple from the outside.

Apparently, this place required a reservation at least a fortnight or one month in advance. Shi Nuan used to think that this was an exaggeration but since her last visit with Song Rongrong, Shi Nuan found out that the rumor was true.

In fact, it was Fu Chengyan who got Zhou Zheng to help make a reservation. At that time, Song Rongrong mentioned that Fu Chengyan was indeed influential enough to get a reservation without a two-week notice.

When Shi Nuan and Fu Chengyan arrived, Shen Shixiu was already there. He stood up when he saw them and said, “Mr. Fu, Mrs. Fu!”

“Mr. Shen!”

Shi Nuan looked at Shen Shixiu with a smile. “I’m so sorry we are late, there was a bit of a traffic jam on the way here!”

Shen Shixiu nodded, indicating he understood. “Please take a seat!”

With that, he handed a menu to Shi Nuan. “Ladies first!”

Shi Nuan smiled. “For me? In that case, I’ll go with my taste!” She then went on to order food that both she and Fu Chengyan liked. Then she passed the menu over to Shen Shixiu and asked, “What about you, Mr. Shen?”

Shen Shixiu took a look at the dishes that Shi Nuan had chosen and smiled. “I’m not picky.” He then instructed the server to take the order.

After the server left, Shen Shixiu finally looked at Fu Chengyan. “It’s really my honor to have you take the time to come here today, Mr. Fu!”

Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes and said, “You don’t have to be so polite, Mr. Shen. Just tell us what you want to say!”

Fu Chengyan and Shen Shixiu were both intelligent people, and they knew what to expect. Regardless of who the organizer of the meeting today, the other party definitely had something up his sleeve. However, Fu Chengyan was the person to ask first.

Shen Shixiu squinted and there was a glint in his eye. However, he nodded. He was put in the spot by Fu Chengyan this time. “This is a simple matter. I can’t bring Shen Qianan away for now.”

As if he knew that Shen Shixiu would say this, Fu Chengyan was not too affected and merely washed his teacup carefully. He then poured a glass of warm water for Shi Nuan before looking up to Shen Shixiu. “This is your business. It is also Ms. Shen’s own business as to where she wants to go, isn’t it? All I share with Ms. Shen is just gratitude for saving my life years ago.”

There was a glimmer of light within Shen Shixiu’s eyes. When he heard him, he frowned but yet nodded, “Good to hear that then!”

Shen Shixiu had planned to bring Shen Qianan back to the capital, but it was clear to him that she didn’t really want to go back. Last night’s incident was still vivid in his mind, and he did not know whether Shen Qianan was still hanging on to Fu Chengyan or the man from the past.

“I’ve been in Jiang City for long enough, it’s time for me to return!” Shen Shixiu looked at Shi Nuan. “I heard that you are pregnant. Congratulations, Mr. Fu and Mrs. Fu.”

“Thank you!” Shi Nuan thanked him sincerely. “Do come back for a visit when you have the time!”

“Definitely!’
