I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 47

Fu Chengyan brought Shi Nuan back to his house at Wutong Residence.

Shi Nuan had been here before, so she was familiar with the area. But when his car drove in, Shi Nuan couldn’t help but glance around.

She had heard about the soaring property prices in this neighborhood and how someone had spent a fortune to buy the land here. Shi Nuan had wondered who was rich enough to buy almost half of the neighborhood, but it turned out to be Fu Chengyan.

After Fu Chengyan parked his car in the garage, Shi Nuan got out of his car and was astounded by the scene that greeted her. “You have so many cars!” Enough for an auto show!

Fu Chengyan was taken aback by her words. The man merely smiled in amusement. “You have a driving license, right?”

Shi Nuan nodded, “I got it back in college with a friend.” She accompanied her friend to get a driving license back then and got one herself since she was already there. However, although she successfully got one, she didn’t get to drive that much.

After Shi Nuan graduated, she started working almost immediately. Her family didn’t offer to buy her a car and she couldn’t afford one herself, so seldom had the chance to drive.

Fu Chengyan pointed at a Ferrari in the corner. “I won that car in a bet with Su Shaoqing last year. I rarely drive it, so you can have it.”

Shi Nuan was stunned. She glanced at the red Ferrari before shaking her head. “No need for the trouble. I can just take the cab.”

“It’s just a car. If you don’t drive it, it’ll just be sitting the garage and collecting dust anyway.” Fu Chengyan wasn’t bothered. He took out Shi Nuan’s luggage from the trunk as he continued, “Plus, this area is a bit secluded. You have to walk a distance to the nearest bus station to take a cab. It won’t be convenient for you to commute to work that way.”

Fu Chengyan was right. His house was in a secluded area. That was also the reason he bought all the land here – so no one would come and disturb him.

The man hated noise, so he didn’t hire any stay-in maids. He had to do everything himself. “I didn’t hire any maids, but someone will come over and clean the house every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. We’ll have to cook for ourselves.”

Shi Nuan helped him with the luggage. She was relieved when she heard his words. “It’s fine. I can cook simple dishes. You’ve tried my cooking earlier.” Shi Nuan smiled and touched her head, “I don’t like strangers in my house too.”

“Your house?” Fu Chengyan smiled in delight at her choice of words. “Good, we’ve reached a consensus.”

“Eh?” Shi Nuan glanced at Fu Chengyan in confusion. “What consensus?”

Fu Chengyan shook his head. “It’s nothing. Let’s go!”

He helped her enter her fingerprint into the security system of the main door. “It’ll be easier for you to come and go. The password is my birthday.”

Shi Nuan withdrew her hand and nodded while looking at her finger. “Okay! When is your birthday?” she asked.

Fu Chengyan turned. He narrowed his eyes and settled his gaze on Shi Nuan. The man raised his voice, “Don’t you know my birthday?”

Shi Nuan was startled as she stared at his face blankly. Her heart started thumping violently, quivering in fear when he stressed the word “birthday”. “How would I know? You never told me,” she said on the brink of tears.

Fu Chengyan’s gaze darkened dangerously. Shi Nuan licked her lips subconsciously. “Why don’t you tell me?”

“Fifth of April!”

“Ah?” Shi Nuan was flabbergasted. “That’s my birthday.” She did a double-take. “How do you know my birthday? Or do we share the same birthday?”

Her reaction exasperated Fu Chengyan. He flicked her forehead and told her, “Looks like you don’t really care about me, huh?”

Shi Nuan was rendered speechless. She really didn’t know his birthday. Why would she know a stranger’s birthday?

“It’s on our marriage certificate, Mrs. Fu. Take note next time!”

Fu Chengyan brought her luggage upstairs and left Shi Nuan standing alone at the entrance. She stared at his back with mixed feelings.

Shi Nuan touched the spot he flicked earlier. It hurt a little. She pursed her lips as an uncomfortable feeling arose in her heart.

Their relationship began suddenly, so she had no time to get used to it. But it was obvious that Fu Chengyan had adapted to it well.

Shi Nuan went upstairs and noticed Fu Chengyan had brought her luggage into the master bedroom. She hurriedly went in. “Actually, you can leave my luggage in the guest room.”

Fu Chengyan, who was unpacking the luggage stopped in his tracks abruptly. Shi Nuan looked at him and took a deep breath. “I think we—”

“Shi Nuan.” Fu Chengyan put down the item he was holding. “We’re married. As your husband, I don’t think we should sleep separately.”

“B-But we don’t know each other that well yet.” Shi Nuan couldn’t sleep in the same bed as him. “You said you’ll give me time.”

Fu Chengyan arched his brows. “Yes, I did agree to give you time. But that was for you to get used to our relationship, not to make the gap between us grow bigger.”
