I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 63

“Since he’s given you, then why not you accept it?” Fu Chengyan turned and said. “Don’t feel burdened!”

“Are you not surprised at all? It’s 20%! That’s more than what Shi Wei owns!” In reality, Shi Nuan had her own plans. Although she is not on good terms with her family members, the girl had never actually wanted to fall out with them this way. She didn’t want to argue any further with Shi Wei. Now that Shi Yunsheng had suddenly given her 20% of the shares, things would not be very smooth for long.

Shi Nuan was a very simple person. She didn’t want these shares at all; perhaps her family’s treatment of her had long caused her to mellow out.

“The Shi family is going to change drastically now that I’ve gotten this 20% of shares.”

Fu Chengyan merely smiled and casually tapped the steering wheel. “It’s not as serious as you think. Your grandfather has his own reasons. Let’s put Shi Yu aside, the Shi family only has you and Shi Wei. If the Shi family were to fall into others’ hands, your grandfather’s legacy would end in your ends. He’s giving you the shares as a precaution.”

“How do you know that?”

Shi Nuan looked up and turned towards Fu Chengyan in disbelief. These were all Shi family affairs that outsiders would normally be unaware of, yet Fu Chengyan knew. “I’m talking about Shi Yu, and how you know what my grandpa is thinking.”

Fu Chengyan merely smiled. “It’s not hard to guess! Are you hungry?”

It was now that Shi Nuan realized she hadn’t eaten ever since she got off work. She nodded. “Have you eaten?”

“I haven’t either,” Fu Chengyan said with a faint smile. “Wanna grab a bite somewhere?”

“Yeah!” Shi Nuan thought for a moment. “Are we eating outside?”

“Yeah, it’s getting late. It’s fine if you wanna prepare something at home.” Fu Chengyan didn’t mind at all. “It’ll probably be late by the time we’re done buying groceries and preparing dinner.”

“Then let’s eat outside. I’m in the mood for some spicy hotpot. Is that OK?” After all, she didn’t quite understand Fu Chengyan’s taste about food. As for herself, she enjoyed spicy food.

“Sure!” Fu Chengyan nodded. “Where do you feel like eating? Tell me about the place.”

Shi Nuan suggested a place she used to frequent. Fu Chengyan didn’t know how to get there, so Shi Nuan leaned over to key in the GPS location. “It’s not far, actually. It’s near Jing University. There’s a mall behind it, right?”

Fu Chengyan arched his brows and nodded. “Looks like you had a pretty enriching college life!” He knew about that shopping mall; it was one business under Fu family’s conglomerate.

Shi Nuan scratched her head in embarrassment. “I used to visit this place often for some food and drinks with my friends. This place isn’t far from Jing University, so we would come here regularly. The prices are reasonable too, but I haven’t been here much ever since I graduated.”

Shi Nuan couldn’t conceal her good mood when she spoke about her past, but soon looked slightly dejected. “My two best friends were Song Rongrong and Su Yian. What if I introduce you to them next time?”

“Sure!” Fu Chengyan nodded. It was rare for Shi Nuan to be this tactful. “When you’re free then!” She had truly accepted him.

Shi Nuan couldn’t help but sigh inside. She felt that Fu Chengyan wasn’t as how others describe him.

Fu Chengyan drove very steadily, and they arrived at the shopping mall near Jing University in about half an hour. The restaurant Shi Nuan wanted to go to had been operating since this mall was built.

Unfortunately, the place was packed, although Shi Nuan had booked a table half an hour earlier. She scratched her head in a slight embarrassment and said, “Hmm… we can always grab something in another place.”

“There’s no need!” Fu Chengyan merely took Shi Nuan’s hand and walked towards the waiting area. Shi Nuan was stunned for a moment. She held a ticket with one hand while another one was being held onto Fu Chengyan.

After taking a seat, Fu Chengyan released Shi Nuan’s hand. Shi Nuan looked at the hand where Fu Chengyan had just held. It felt slightly moist.

She blushed while starring at her palm before averting her gaze in embarrassment. She looked directly into Fu Chengyan’s brooding eyes. Shi Nuan felt butterflies in her stomach as she subconsciously tightens her grip on the ticket in her hand; the girl’s mouth twitched slightly as she exclaimed, “There are so many people!”

“Yeah,” Fu Chengyan smiled from ear to ear. “There’s no rush.”

“Yeah, there’s no rush!” Shi Nuan smiled. Fu Chengyan opened her palm to get the ticket and flattened out before gazing at her deeply. His face was full of smiles.

“Two more tables!”

Shi Nuan felt embarrassed as she felt Fu Chengyan was doing this on purpose. “Yeah, it’ll be our turn soon!” She bit her lip.

After a couple of minutes, it was finally their turn, and Shi Nuan quickly got up. “Let’s go. It’s our turn!” She subconsciously took Fu Chengyan’s hand.
