I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 69

Fu Chengyan smiled and shook his head. He stroked her head gently and said, “Even if you do nothing, she’ll hate you anyhow.”

Shi Nuan sighed. She had to admit what Fu Chengyan said was true but decided to keep a distance from Shi Wei anyhow. “You don’t get it. Shi Wei will not let this rest. She—”

Fu Chengyan shook his head. “Looks like she bullied you frequently back then, huh?”

Shi Nuan smiled bitterly. “Yes.”

No matter what happened, she was always on the losing side. She had already gotten used to it. Back then, Shi Nuan would try to stay away from Shi Wei. She even moved out at a young age just to avoid running into Shi Wei. She’d only return home for the occasional family gatherings to visit her grandfather, Shi Yunsheng.

Fu Chengyan gazed at the woman who seemed helpless. It was obvious she had been giving in for years. “She is something.”

Shi Nuan raised her brows. “I can’t believe you’re praising her.” Right then, the salesperson had already wrapped up the shoes and the general manager walked up to them. “Mr. Fu, the shoes…”

“Give them to me!” Fu Chengyan frowned and took the shoes from him before asking, “Where are the flats?”

“Here!” The salesperson was smart as she had guessed what was going on when Fu Chengyan and Shi Nuan came in earlier to look at the flats section. She gave the flats to Shi Nuan. “Ms. Shi, put them on!”

Shi Nuan arched her brows and shot a look at Fu Chengyan. Fu Chengyan nodded and told her. “Put them on. Don’t wear high heels next time.” He then added with a laugh, “But you can wear them at home though!”

Shi Nuan’s cheeks puffed up at the strange comment from Fu Chengyan. After realizing what Fu Chengyan meant, she glanced at the general manager.

When the general manager heard their conversation, he reminded himself to serve Ms. Shi well the next time she visited their shopping mall. He hinted at the salesperson before turning to Fu Chengyan, “Mr. Fu, I’ll go back to work then.”

Fu Chengyan nodded. After the general manager left, he looked at Shi Nuan. “Do they fit well?” Shi Nuan nodded. She felt herself relax the moment she put the flats on.

Shi Nuan told the salesperson to pack her own shoes up before walking up to Fu Chengyan. Without the high heels, Shi Nuan seemed small in front of Fu Chengyan.

Shi Nuan wasn’t short as her height was 165cm. She was considered tall among girls. But she was obviously petite to Fu Chengyan who was 185cm tall.

A smile flashed across Shi Nuan’s face as she took the shopping bag from the salesperson and thanked her. Turning to face Fu Chengyan, she said, “Let’s go!”

“Okay.” Fu Chengyan walked behind Shi Nuan and shot the salesperson a look. The salesperson immediately bowed. “Mr. Fu, have a good day!”

After Fu Chengyan and Shi Nuan left, the store manager went to the salesperson and scrutinized her. “You did well today!”

“Thank you, sir!”

After changing into flats, Shi Nuan seemed more relaxed. Shi Nuan walked ahead of Fu Chengyan for some time before turning back to the man who lagged behind her. “Thank you for today!”

She knew well if Fu Chengyan wasn’t there to help her, she’d get bullied by Shi Wei again. Shi Wei knew she would avoid creating a scene. Plus, Shi Wei had Anna and Su Su with her today. No matter what, she’d be on the losing side again.

Fu Chengyan’s lips curved up. “Will thank you suffice?”

“Well, I said thank you.” Shi Nuan said while smiling, “What else do you want?”

Fu Chengyan raised his brows. “No wonder you’re no match for her.” Fu Chengyan strode up to her and took the shopping bag from her. His other hand reached out to hold her hand.

Shi Nuan was taken aback and she blushed. “What are you doing? People are staring. Let go!” Shi Nuan struggled but failed to free her hand. She glanced around nervously.

Fu Chengyan’s gaze swept over Shi Nuan. When he saw Shi Nuan acting this way, his eyes crinkled up in delight. “Are you ashamed of me?” Many women would die to be with him. She was the only woman who gave him the cold shoulder.

Shi Nuan chuckled, “No. Shi Wei has just left. If she finds out about us, I’m afraid—”

“Afraid of what?”

Fu Chengyan snorted, “I didn’t expect you’d be this afraid of your sister. She’s merely a wolf in a sheep’s skin.” Fu Chengyan couldn’t be bothered about Shi Wei, so he didn’t understand Shi Nuan’s reaction.
