I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 83

Fu Chengyan frowned slightly, his entire being exuding an air of hostility. Shi Nuan suddenly stopped eating her porridge and reflexively looked at Fu Chengyan. “Is something wrong?”

Fu Chengyan immediately collected himself and shook his head gently at Shi Nuan. “Everything’s fine!” He voice was soft, yet emotionless. “Let it happen then, as long as we get what we need!”

“They haven’t thrown him overboard yet, Mr. Fu. It’s just that… They’re about to.” Zhou Zheng was on the verge of a breakdown. How could the two masters be so nonchalant?

Fu Chengyan frowned slightly and said, “Tell Shaoqing to wait. I’ll drop by in a while. Leave the other matters to him!”

Zhou Zheng shuddered. He could imagine a bloodbath soon. Compared to Mr. Su, Mr. Fu was much more extreme.

“OK. I’ll get Liang Lin to continue investigating the foreign account. We found out that the sleeping gas from last night didn’t seem like the usual ones being sold in the market. According to our results, Shi Wei isn’t too big of a threat.” It was clear what Zhou Zheng meant; Shi Wei could pull a few tricks, but such an elaborate plan and the use of an unusual sleeping drug indicated that Shi Wei couldn’t have been the main culprit.

“OK. Keep looking!” Fu Chengyan hung up and looked at Shi Nuan. “Are you full?”

Shi Nuan nodded. “Yeah. You haven’t had much, so eat up!” She served Fu Chengyan a bowl of porridge, but felt a stinging pain when her finger touched the edge of the bowl. She looked down and was slightly astounded.

“What’s wrong?” Fu Chengyan creased his eyebrows.

Shi Nuan shook her head. “It’s nothing. I just don’t know when I got this cut on my hand.” Since it wasn’t bleeding anymore, Shi Nuan didn’t pay much attention to it. However, Fu Chengyan’s gazed darkened slightly. “Does it still hurt?”

“Not anymore. Do you think I’m that fragile?” Shi Nuan replied and paused for a moment. “Fu Chengyan.”

“Hmm?” Fu Chengyan looked up. “What is it?”

“Thank you for yesterday,” Shi Nuan said earnestly, remembering how well he treated her. “I’ll introduce you to my friends when we’re both free!”

Fu Chengyan raised a brow and smiled. “So are you saying that I’ve passed the test, darling?”

Shi Nuan blushed, feeling nervous and giddy. “I guess so! I don’t have many friends. I only have Song Rongrong and Su Yian. Rongrong is a journalist, whereas Yian and I opened a tea house together. It’s called Ruyi Tea House.”

“Mm!” Fu Chengyan nodded. It was where he once fetched Shi Nuan. She had met Old Master Shi at the tea house.

“I’ll leave the arrangements to you!” Fu Chengyan was always available, he just didn’t want Shi Nuan to feel uncomfortable.

Shi Nuan’s eyes lit up as she heard him. “OK. I’ll meet with Rongrong and Yian today, then!” She said excitedly. “It’s been a while since the three of us last gathered.”

“OK!” Fu Chengyan nodded. Thinking about what happened yesterday, he figured it would be nice to let Shi Nuan have some fun outside. “Drive safely!”

After Shi Nuan had left, Fu Chengyan gave Zhou Zheng a call. “Send two men to follow the madam, but make sure not to bother them.”

“Yes, Mr. Fu!” Zhou Zheng immediately arranged for two of their best bodyguards to follow Shi Nuan. As per Fu Chengyan’s instructions, they kept their distance and did not approach Shi Nuan.

Shi Nuan met up with Song Rongrong and Su Yian. Due to the fact that they hadn’t gathered like this in a long time, they ate, drank and shopped together merrily.

Su Yian was a rather quiet girl, which was why she opened a tea house with Shi Nuan. Apart from running the place, she would just read in her free time. Song Rongrong was the polar opposite. She was outgoing and lively, and was the bubbliest among the three. That was why she chose to be a journalist. Travelling all over the country was a common occurrence to her.

It was so rare for them to meet nowadays, so they had as much fun as they could, shopping at several stores and buying a bunch of clothes. Of course, Song Rongrong had insisted on buying most of the clothes, but they weren’t for herself. They were for Shi Nuan.

Song Rongrong’s reason was simple: since Shi Nuan was now married to Fu Chengyan, she had to dress better. However, Shi Nuan didn’t think there was anything wrong with how she used to dress.

But Su Yian was shocked. “You’re married, Nuan?”

Su Yian had every right to be shocked. After all, she had been brought up to speed on what happened between Shi Nuan and Fu Xicheng. Back then, Shi Nuan was still on her business trip, and Su Yian didn’t know that Shi Wei had ended up getting engaged to Fu Xicheng. It was only when Shi Nuan and Shi Yunsheng dropped by the tea house that Su Yian found out about Fu Xicheng’s betrayal.

She didn’t think that Shi Nuan would get married this quickly. “When did this happen? How could I have not known anything about it!?”
