I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 493

Fu Chengyan was surprised by her words. He didn’t expect Shi Nuan would come out with such a condition to Su Huaibei, but he still rubbed her head affectionately. “No, you’re not bad at all.”

“But… I can see that he loves Shu Qing deeply. She’s probably the only woman he has ever loved in his life, yet I cruelly asked him to break up with her! What if someone else forces you to break up with me the same way as I did?” Shi Nuan couldn’t explain what she felt right now. She only knew she felt extremely terrible after visiting Su Huaibei.

Fu Chengyan brought her to his lounge and patted her back comfortingly. “May, humans are selfish by nature. I know you must have your own reasons for requesting that, right?”

Shi Nuan curled her lips in disdain. “I don’t have any reason for requesting that. I just think I could accept Su Huaibei as my father because I can feel his desire to atone for his sins, and I’m not repulsed by him. But Shu Qing doesn’t like me in the first place, so I don’t want to force myself to accept her. Isn’t that selfish of me?”

“Silly girl!” Fu Chengyan pulled Shi Nuan into his embrace. “No one is perfect. Besides, even without your interference, they may not end up together. Their problem stems from distrust, and no one can save them from it. Had their love been strong enough, no one in the world could’ve separated them at all.”

Shi Nuan smiled. “Yan, you are really good at comforting me.”

“I’m only good at comforting you and no one else.” Fu Chengyan patted Shi Nuan and tightened his hug. “This is not something you can control. Since he has agreed to your condition, he must have thought it out, right?”

Shi Nuan nodded. Fu Chengyan planted a kiss on her forehead and asked in concern, “Now, is there anything else bugging you?”

“What if, what if I regretted it? What if I tell him that I don’t need him to agree to that condition of mine?”

“I told you, he must have thought it out when he made that decision. If you ask me, I’ll say he’s the one who should regret it later on and not you. Since he doesn’t regret his decision, that means his end with Shu Qing will still be the same regardless of your conditions. So there’s no need to feel bad about it, okay?”

“Okay.” Shi Nuan nodded and nuzzled her head against Fu Chengyan again. “I didn’t interrupt your work, did I?”

“Nothing is more important than you.” Fu Chengyan lifted her chin and uttered, “Don’t ever think of yourself as a burden to me, okay?”

“Okay.” Shi Nuan straightened herself and cupped Fu Chengyan’s chin to plant a kiss on his lips. “Here, your reward for comforting me. Go ahead and settle your work. I’m taking a nap.”

“Alright. I’ll wake you up when I’m done.” Fu Chengyan carried Shi Nuan to the bed and tucked her in the blanket. He then landed another peck on her forehead before leaving the lounge.

Zhou Zheng, who had been waiting outside for ages, immediately approached Fu Chengyan the moment he came out. “Mr. Fu.”

Fu Chengyan nodded in acknowledgment. “You’ve gotten the materials?”

“Yes. These are all Su Huai-” Before Zhou Zheng could speak, Fu Chengyan cast a warning gaze at him and eyed the lounge behind him. Zhou Zheng immediately caught his meaning and lowered his voice. “These are records of the happenings between Su Huaibei and Jiang Yuan after they departed for the capital twenty-five years ago. It’s incomplete, considering how long ago it was, but it’s enough to understand what actually happened back then. Shu Qing is Jiang Yuan’s stage name. She was indeed in love with Su Huaibei during her younger days, but conflict often happened between them when they were in the capital. It was not easy to survive in the capital back then. In order to secure her career in the entertainment industry, Jiang Yuan would join parties and dinners with rich producers and investors. One of them happened to be Shen Feng. But his relationship with Jiang Yuan is a bit complicated. He was only acting with Jiang Yuan in a rumored relationship. Oh, and turns out, it was Jiang Yuan who saved Shen Feng’s wife in a car accident many years ago.”

Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes at Zhou Zheng’s explanation. “What about Shen Qianan?”

“It’s just as you guessed!” Even Zhou Zheng didn’t expect the two would be siblings. “Mr. Fu, how did you know Mrs. Fu and Shen Qianan are sisters of the same parents?”

“Their face.” No two people could look so similar unless they were born from the same set of parents. Fu Chengyan had guessed if they had different fathers, Shen Qianan would never look so similar to Shi Nuan. Of course, this fact was just speculation without any proof until today.

“Oh, by the way, Shen Feng has also arrived at Jiang City. He has met up with both Shu Qing and Su Huaibei a few days ago.”

Fu Chengyan nodded. “Okay, you may go now.”

“Alright.”

“Wait!” Fu Chengyan halted Zhou Zheng. “Other than Su Huaibei, who else did May saw at the hospital?”

“Shu Qing. But she didn’t meet her in person, she saw Shu Qing entering the hospital and she waited downstairs until Shu Qing came out. She also saw Shu Qing having a talk with Fu Yi.”

Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes at Zhou Zheng’s report. “Okay, you may leave now.”

Once Zhou Zheng left, Fu Chengyan flipped through the materials in his hands. As expected, the contents were almost the same as his deductions. Both Shen Qianan and Shi Nuan were indeed daughters of Su Huaibei and Shu Qing.
