I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 73

“You came here past midnight for this?” Fu Chengyan asked after a long pause. “Are you afraid?”

Shi Nuan nodded helplessly. “Yes, I’m afraid. Will you help me?”

Fu Chengyan curved his lips up. Shi Nuan seemed really terrified, since her reputation was important to her. “Don’t worry, I’ll solve this well.” Since they were already married, he would take action no matter what.

Fu Chengyan saw Shi Nuan heave a sigh of relief. He smiled. “Don’t worry. It’s late, you should go to bed now.”

Shi Nuan bit her lips although he had already reassured her anxious heart. She trusted Fu Chengyan to help her. But she couldn’t explain why she felt that Fu Chengyan was dependable.

Fu Chengyan raised his brows when he saw that Shi Nuan didn’t move. “Darling, are you inviting me to sleep with you?”

“Ah?” Shi Nuan raised her head in surprise before hurriedly explaining, “No, I… I’ll go to bed now. You should get some rest too.” Shi Nuan retreated to the door but she suddenly stopped and turned around, saying, “Fu Chengyan, thank you!”

Fu Chengyan’s eyes crinkled up as he watched Shi Nuan walk away. He called Li Heng, “I might need your assistant’s help for two days.”

“Oh? What will I get in return?” Li Heng asked when he heard Fu Chengyan’s request. “Did you get into trouble?”

“It’s nothing big.” Fu Chengyan tapped his fingers on the table and told him, “You want the developer’s rights for that land in the south of the city, right? Shengyuan will pull out from the bidding.” Li Heng snorted in displeasure. “Bro, you’re getting thriftier day by day.”

“Don’t expose me.” Fu Chengyan smirked. “Tomorrow, ask Liang Lin to come over. He’s better than Zhou Zheng regarding computer stuff.”

“Sure!” Li Heng agreed. After Fu Chengyan hung up, a hint of amusement appeared in Li Heng’s dark gaze.

Shengyuan wasn’t that interested in that piece of land in the south. Since Fu Renjiang who had always wanted this land was already in jail, Fu Chengyan didn’t want to get involved in his mess. That was why Li Heng snorted when he was offered the land.

Li Heng’s gaze darkened when he called Liang Lin. “Chengyan needs your help for the next few days.”

“Yes.” Liang Lin had worked for Li Heng for a while and knew what character his boss had. If it wasn’t important, Fu Chengyan wouldn’t ask for his help and Li Heng wouldn’t let him help the man either. “When will I be coming back?”

“Ask Chengyan!” Li Heng hung up on him. In the dimly lit study, the man was seated on the leather sofa with a cigarette between his fingers. His gaze was fixated at a book on the shelf. It took him a while to regain his senses.

Time has gone by so quickly!

The next day, Liang Lin went to Shengyuan to look for Fu Chengyan and found out that he was going to be working under Zhou Zheng. This made him slightly upset.

Zhou Zheng noticed Liang Lin’s displeasure and nudged him. “Why are you upset? I saved you, you know.”

Liang Lin glared at Zhou Zheng. “Why do I have to listen to you?”

“That’s Mr. Fu’s decision.” Zhou Zheng had a cunning smile on his face. “Let’s get back to business. I need your help to hack someone’s computer.”

“Again?” Liang Lin sounded upset. “Even if I’m good at it, this doesn’t mean I have to do sneaky stuff all day!” Liang Lin shot Zhou Zheng a look. “Who is it this time?”

“Fu Renjiang!”

Liang Lin’s fingers paused midair as he asked in surprise. “It’s still not done yet?”

“Yes. I came to you because I have other stuff to deal with now.” Zhou Zheng spread his hands helplessly. Seemingly entertained, Liang Lin switched on his laptop and glanced at Zhou Zheng. “What other stuff?”

“It’s about Mrs. Fu.” Zhou Zheng answered, “It’s a hassle. I might need your help later.”

“Mrs. Fu? When did Mr. Fu get married?” Liang Lin’s eyes gleamed. How exciting! ”Why didn’t I know about this?”

Meanwhile, Shi Wei started venting her anger by smashing everything in her sight after she reached home. The servants stayed out of her sight as they were terrified. There was only one maid trailing behind Shi Wei who cleaned up all her mess. That maid, named Hong, had been with Shi Wei for years.

Shi Wei was terribly upset about what had happened in the shopping mall. She was from the Shi family and gained some popularity in the entertainment industry. Everyone in Jiang City treated her politely.
