Read Novel I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 582

Shi Nuan was the one who suggested making dumplings, but when they got to it, Shi Nuan didn’t do much to be of any help. Firstly, she was pregnant, so it was hard for her to move around. Secondly, Fu Chengyan wasn’t willing to let Shi Nuan tire herself out.

There were many residents in Wutong Residence. With combined effort from everyone, there was no more room for extra hands. Fu Chengyan and Li Heng were busying away, while Shen Qianan, Pei Huan, and Fu Ling assisted them whenever they were needed. Meanwhile, Shi Nuan sat beside Fu Chengyan.

Whenever she extended her hand in hopes of doing something, Fu Chengyan stopped her. Shi Nuan had no choice but to withdraw her hand, but she still looked at Fu Chengyan pleadingly. Her current expression reminded Fu Chengyan of how Shi Nuan looked during her teenage years. Shi Nuan also used to cuddle into Fu Chengyan’s arms with the same look back then.

They didn’t know each other back then. Shi Nuan even accused Fu Chengyan of being at fault. Fu Chengyan smiled as he looked at how Shi Nuan was now, and he lovingly pinched her nose. Shi Nuan raised her hand to swat Fu Chengyan’s hand away. She rubbed her nose impatiently. “My nose is dirty now!”

Fu Chengyan handed a ball of kneaded dough to Shi Nuan. Then, he patted her head.

“Go on and play with Bao and Yu!” The corner of Shi Nuan’s lips twitched. She felt that Fu Chengyan was teasing her like a child. “I’m an adult! There’s no way I’m going to play with dough!”

“Good girl!” Fu Chengyan tickled Shi Nuan’s nose. “If you still want to have dumplings tonight, you should behave!”

“Fine then!” Shi Nuan sighed and held the dough in her hands. She proceeded to approach Bao and Yu. “Bao, Yu, would you come and knead the dough with me?” Bao and Yu were playing with toy cars. Their eyes lit up when they heard Shi Nuan’s voice, but as soon as they saw the dough in her hands, Bao ignored Shi Nuan completely, which was rare. Yu ran over and touched Shi Nuan’s cheeks while comforting her, “Aunt Nuan, I want to play with the toy car with Bao. Why don’t you knead the dough on your own?”

Shi Nuan was speechless. The rejection of both the children caused her face to flush crimson red. Shi Nuan then helplessly turned to the others who were busy wrapping the dumplings.

The others stopped their work when they saw Shi Nuan turning to them for help. Su

Shaoqing couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “Nuan, you’re being isolated!” Hearing that, Shi Nuan was upset. “What do you mean?”

Shi Nuan was unhappy as she glared at Su Shaoqing. She stomped toward Fu

Chengyan and tossed the dough at him. “I don’t want to make dumplings anymore!”

Fu Chengyan’s smile widened as he resignedly pulled Shi Nuan to her side. He wrapped a hand on Shi Nuan’s waist and gently caressed her cheek. “Good girl. Let me finish wrapping the dumplings so we can cook them for our meals later!” Fu Chengyan spoke in a gentle tone, calming Shi Nuan’s restless heart.

It wasn’t that Shi Nuan was acting unreasonably. She simply didn’t know what to do! Shi Nuan felt wronged since it was rare that she wanted to make dumplings, but Fu

Chengyan did not allow her to do anything. Tears formed in Shi Nuan’s eyes as she looked at Fu Chengyan in misery.

Left with no choice, Fu Chengyan handed the dumpling wrapper to Shi Nuan. “Honey, don’t cry. It’s not that I don’t want you to help but won’t you feel uncomfortable sitting on the stool? Although wrapping dumplings isn’t tough work, you have to keep bending your back. Aren’t you afraid that your stomach will feel uncomfortable?” Fu Chengyan helplessly coaxed her.

Shi Nuan pouted. “I don’t care! I want to help!”

“All right!” Fu Chengyan didn’t speak any further because he could tell that Shi Nuan wasn’t actually desperate to prepare the dumplings. She merely wanted to join in the fun.

There were so many people, yet Shi Nuan was the only one idling around, thus the fuss. Nonetheless, she looked just as adorable while kicking up a fuss.

Shen Qianan’s gaze softened at the sight of Shi Nuan and Fu Chengyan’s bantering. Shen Qianan sat beside Pei Huan as she giggled and whispered into Pei Huan’s ear, “Nuan is growing more and more brazen.”

Pei Huan felt that it was hilarious too. “The truth is, when I was pregnant, I had mood swings too.” Pei Huan thought of something and added, “I wasn’t any better than her.”

Shen Qianan grinned. “Indeed!”

Huo Ling was also wrapping dumplings as guided by Fu Ling. To Huo Ling’s dismay, she didn’t hold any talent in it. Huo Ling’s hands might have been a pair of holy hands within the medical field, but she was hopeless in such mundane tasks.

Fu Ling glanced at the few dumplings on the plate placed in front of Huo Ling, and her mouth couldn’t help but twitch violently. Fu Ling was at a loss of words at the sight of the tragedy before her. It was equivalent to the scene of a car crash.

The dumplings Huo Ling prepared were large and filled to the brim with torn wrapping.
