I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 499

When Fu Chengyan was about to carry Shi Nuan downstairs, she insisted on walking by herself. However, Fu Chengyan was adamant about it. Left without a choice, Shi Nuan covered her head and grumbled in her heart. She felt as if she was no different from a cripple. Fu Chengyan tugged at her hand helplessly. “Fine, I’ll put you down in a while.”

Coincidentally, Su Huaibei and Fu Zhengyun walked in from the garden and saw them acting all lovey-dovey. Su Huaibei smiled at the sight of it. “Nuan!”

Shi Nuan’s face froze momentarily but she quickly broke into a grin. “You’re here!”

Despite not greeting him as her Dad yet, Shi Nuan’s response was more than enough to keep Su Huaibei happy. Su Huaibei nodded with a smile. “I’m here to see you and also discuss with Yan about the matter of changing your surname.”

Shi Nuan couldn’t help but frown. “Must I change it?” She looked at Su Huaibei and Fu Chengyan the moment she asked.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to change it,” Su Huaibei quickly added. “I respect your opinion.”

Fu Chengyan shook his head instead. “You have to.” To him, it was a must. “I’ll take care of the matter, so don’t worry about it.”

“But…” Shi Nuan wasn’t particularly stubborn, it was just that it didn’t matter much to her what her surname was. Furthermore, Shi Yunsheng had always treated her very well. Hence, she didn’t want him to feel upset.

“Have you forgotten what Granddad said?” Fu Chengyan gently stroke her head. “Hmm? The Shi family shares that you own. Have you forgotten about them?” Fu Chengyan leaned in to whisper into Shi Nuan’s ear.

Realization dawned on Shi Nuan. “Yes! Now that you reminded me of it.” No wonder Shi Yunsheng insisted on her changing her name yesterday. She now understood why. “But, aren’t the shares with you now?”

“Silly gal. Only you know that, but they don’t.” Fu Chengyan pinched her nose in amusement. “Anyway, don’t worry about it. Are you hungry? Let’s go have lunch.”

“Sure!”

Su Huaibei and Fu Zhengyun exchanged glances and nodded to each other in satisfaction.

In the afternoon, Fu Chengyan went out to deal with something while Shi Nuan stayed home and played with Cheng An. As Cheng Jing was always working outstation, Fu Jiayu and Cheng An had moved in with them. The Fu residence became livelier as a result.

Just when Shi Nuan and Cheng An were playing a spelling game. Her phone unexpectedly rang. The servant rushed into the room with her phone. “Young Mistress, your phone is ringing.”

“Pass it to me.” Shi Nuan reached out and stroked Cheng An’s head. “An, go play by yourself for a while. I have a phone call to take.”

“Okay!” Cheng An nodded. “Come back quickly.”

“Alright!” As Shi Nuan stood up, she was surprised to see that it was Shi Wei that called. “Hello?”

“Shi Nuan, let’s meet outside.”

Shi Nuan squinted her eyes. “Ms. Shi, what do you want to see me for?”

“How long has it been and you’re already acting so distant? We have been sisters for more than twenty years, haven’t we?” When Shi Wei heard how Shi Nuan addressed her, she couldn’t help but grit her teeth. “Shi Nuan, don’t you forget, even if you changed your surname, it was the Shi family that raised you. You…”

“Just get to the point, what do you want?” Shi Nuan couldn’t be bothered to hear the same old speech again. “It’s best if you can just tell me over the phone.”

“Shi Nuan, don’t forget that you haven’t changed your surname, and your household register is still tied to the Shi family,” Shi Wei gleefully declared. “How about it? Let’s make a deal.”

A deal? Shi Nuan narrowed her eyes and quickly understood what Shi Wei’s intention was.

“The household register is with my mom. I will hand it over to you but in return, you must give me the shares you have in Huancheng.”

“Ms. Shi, you seem to have your plans all laid out well.” Shi Nuan knew that Shi Wei wouldn’t do her any favors without an ulterior motive. However, she didn’t expect her to also be after the shares. “What if I don’t want to give them to you?”

“Then you can forget about changing your surname. As long as your household register is here, you will still be officially designated as a member of the Shi family. Haha, Shi Nuan, I think you would prefer not to have anything to do with us. As long as you’re a member of the Shi family, we will be relatives of the Fu clan. I’m sure the Su family will not be happy about that.”

Shi Nuan couldn’t deny that Shi Wei had her plan well thought out. However, she probably overestimated herself and underestimated the capabilities of both Fu Chengyan and the Su family. Something as trivial as this was likely not going to be much of a problem for Fu Chengyan. That being said, Shi Nuan was curious as to where Shi Wei got the courage to dare come and negotiate with her.

“Hmm, it will depend on whether you can reach them in the first place.”

“What do you mean? Shi Nuan, I tried being nice. So don’t force me to be nasty.” Shi Wei changed her tone immediately. “Do you really not want to change your surname?”

“I don’t think you have to worry about that on my behalf. If there’s nothing else, I don’t think we have anything more to talk about.” With that, Shi Nuan was about to end the call. However, Shi Wei quickly stopped her, “Shi Nuan, don’t you want to know why you were left by the beach when you were a teenager?”

Shi Nuan’s hand paused. “What did you say?”
