I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 449

Everyone’s gaze landed on Shi Nuan’s belly, especially Cheng An. When she heard her mother’s words, she stared at her aunt with big, sparkling eyes. Then, she pointed at Shi Nuan’s belly curiously, “Aunt Nuan, is there a baby in your belly?”

Shi Nuan froze, but she heard Cheng An’s voice again, “Is the baby as cute as An?”

She laughed out loud at the latter’s words. She explained as she took the little girl’s hands to stroke her belly, “Yes, that’s right. There is a baby in Aunt Nuan’s belly and he is as cute as An.” She caressed Cheng An’s tiny hands and said, “An, do you like the baby in my belly?”

“Are they just as obedient as An?” Cheng An tilted her head, the adorable expression on her face melted Shi Nuan’s heart. “Yes, he is.”

“Then how can I see the babies in Aunt Nuan’s belly?” She looked distressed. “I can’t see him!”

“Pfft!”

Besides Cheng An, everyone else around her burst into waves of laughter. Shi Nuan quickly explained while pinching her chubby hand, “They will only be born in a few more months. An, you’ll have to wait for a while more, alright?”

“Is that so? Aunt Nuan, you have to be careful, okay? You need to take good care of the baby. When he is here, An will play with him!”

“That’s a good girl!” Shi Nuan smiled at Fu Jiayu. “Jiayu, let me carry her. An is such a cute kid!”

“No way. You’re pregnant now. You shouldn’t be so reckless.” Fu Jiayu shook her head and continued, “An is very mischievous sometimes. I’m afraid she doesn’t know the limits. What if she hurts you?”

Fu Jiayu could already guess the reason Shi Nuan was at the Fu residence. Given Old Master Fu’s temper, even though he disliked Shi Nuan, he always hoped that the Fu clan would be prosperous. Shi Nuan is here at the Fu residence because she’s pregnant.

Fu Jiayu glanced at the others in the living room before asking, “Aunt Ning, where’s Grandpa and Uncle Heng?”

“Oh, your Grandpa is probably out with his friends. He’s not back yet. Your Uncle Heng is caught up with some company matters and is still at his office.”

Fu Jiayu nodded and put Cheng An beside Shi Nuan. “An, sit beside Aunt Nuan and don’t move around unnecessarily, okay? Don’t touch her belly too, do you understand?”

Cheng An nodded even though she didn’t quite understand. “Okay. Aunt Nuan is pregnant so I shouldn’t touch her belly. Otherwise, I might hurt the baby, right?”

“That’s right. So you have to be careful from now on.”

“Okay! An will protect Aunt Nuan.”

Shi Nuan’s gaze softened at the sight of a mature Cheng An.

She started to imagine her children when they were born. Will the baby be as cute as An?

If it’s a boy, it won’t be too bad if he’s like Bao. And if it’s a girl, she’ll look like An. Shi Nuan’s smile widened at the thought of it. “Thank you, An!”

“You’re welcome!”

Song Zhenyan felt especially awkward as she sat there. There was still tension between her and Fu Jiayu, so the latter definitely wouldn’t address her. Like earlier, Fu Jiayu greeted Shi Nuan and Ning Xin, but she purposely ignored her mother. In all honesty, Song Zhenyan would be lying if she said she didn’t care about this.

No matter how much she disliked or resented Fu Sheng, Fu Jiayu and Fu Chengyan were her biological children after all. It was only natural that she felt that way.

But whatever happened today was all because of her own doings. She couldn’t blame anyone else.

Her gaze landed on Fu Jiayu, Shi Nuan and Cheng An. Happiness bloomed in her heart at the sight of the heartwarming scene. But as she looked at Ning Xin, disappointment flashed through her eyes.

Since Shi Nuan was sitting on the opposite of Song Zhenyan, she could perfectly see the expression on the latter’s face. She pursed her lips slightly at the sight of the latter’s pale face.

Shi Nuan didn’t like Song Zhenyan at all. After all, she had been insulted by her previously. The latter even encouraged Song Jingyu to marry Fu Chengyan. Although Shi Nuan wasn’t a bad person, she wasn’t a saint either. That was why she kept telling herself that she shouldn’t be so petty towards Song Zhenyan. But since she wants to have her way and cause troubles for me, I wouldn’t relent too.

However, it had been months since Song Zhenyan last caused her any trouble. Conversely, Shi Nuan could feel the older woman’s gaze on her belly from time to time, but it didn’t seem like she had any ulterior motives. It was more like she looked worried and excited at the same time.

Shi Nuan could tell when someone had changed. So when she saw the look on Song Zhenyan’s face, especially the expression when she watched Fu Jiayu, she couldn’t help but pity her. She obviously misses her daughter and is yearning for Jiayu to forgive her.

She hesitated for a moment before taking Cheng An’s hands and saying, “An, why don’t you go to Grandma, hmm? Let Grandma hug you.”

Song Zhenyan didn’t expect Shi Nuan to say that. She suddenly lifted her head and stared at the latter in disbelief.
