I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 84

“You told me to make arrangements so you can meet my friends. Can we do it today?”

Shi Nuan treaded carefully, but Song Rongrong just had to yell from the side, “When are you going to treat us to a meal, brother-in-law?”

Fu Chengyan’s narrow eyes lit up upon hearing Song Rongrong’s words. As his lips curved into a smile that reached his eyes, his mood instantly brightened. He waved at Jiang Hu, indicating that he would take his leave.

Meanwhile, Jiang Hu’s eyes widened in shock. He stared at Fu Chengyan in disbelief.

To Jiang Hu, the second master was always a man who stood above others. No one could ever go near him. But now, he was seeing a gentle side to Fu Chengyan that he had never seen before. Even as Fu Chengyan walked further away, he exuded an air of warmth and gentleness.

“What’s up?” A hand slapped him on the back. Jiang Hu instinctively grabbed the person’s arm and a scuffle ensued. After a few rounds, Jiang Hu finally stopped. “Don’t slap my back as you please.”

Jiang Hu was a brawny guy, but he wasn’t simple-minded. “By the way, did something good happen to Mr. Fu recently?”

Zhou Zheng worked as Fu Chengyan’s assistant, so he was always by Fu Chengyan’s side. Jiang Hu envied how Zhou Zheng was much closer to Fu Chengyan than he was.

Zhou Zheng raised an eyebrow and tried to imitate Liang Lin who was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Zhou Zheng raised his hand to adjust his glasses. The problem was, he didn’t even wear glasses. Zhou Zheng smiled. “So you’ve also noticed something different about Mr. Fu?”

“Of course! He was being all gloomy, then he suddenly turned into a gentleman from just one phone call. I’ve followed Mr. Fu like a dog all these years, but I’ve never seen him treat anyone like that!”

“Not even the one from before?” The corners of Zhou Zheng’s lips tilted upwards. Jiang Hu shook his head. “No. Mr. Fu acted strange around her. Either way, I can’t describe it. It’s definitely not the same!”

“Come on, it’s not like you and I can interfere with Mr. Fu’s affairs. But since you asked, I’ll tell you the truth. The person who just called was most likely the madam. Remember when I borrowed two men from your side? It was to protect the madam. Get your men to be more alert. If anything were to happen to the madam, I can’t guarantee you’ll live!”

“Madam? Mr. Fu is married?”

Fu Chengyan was on cloud nine after hearing Song Rongrong call him her ‘brother-in-law’. “Are you free now?” He asked.

Shi Nuan blushed and gave Song Rongrong a whack before nodding. “Yeah, we just finished shopping. Rongrong and Yian want to officially meet you. I figured that today happens to be a non-working day, so…”

“Sure!” Fu Chengyan didn’t hesitate at all. “So which one of us will choose the venue?”

“Hmm, I’ll leave it to you!” Shi Nuan replied. “It’s still early, so there’s no need for you to come over so soon.”

“OK!” Fu Chengyan smiled faintly as he drove out of the parking lot and returned to the Wutong Residence. “Are your friends picky?”

“They’re alright!” Shi Nuan laughed. “They’re about the same as me. Actually, they’re not picky at all.” Shi Nuan gave it some thought and figured that a simple meal would do.

“She’s right, brother-in-law! As long as you’re with us, we’re OK with eating anything!” Song Rongrong yelled into the phone. “We’re just scrounging for free food anyway.”

“OK, Ms. Song. Then would you like to eat outside or…?”

“Can we drop by your place?” Song Rongrong snatched the phone from Shi Nuan. “Honestly, Yian and I can eat just about anything. It’s such a rare opportunity to be treated to a meal. Or maybe you could let us visit your home?”

Shi Nuan thought that Fu Chengyan would be displeased and wanted to reject her suggestion when she heard Fu Chengyan agree breezily. “That’s fine. Have Nuan take you both here then!”

With that, Fu Chengyan turned the car around and headed towards the largest shopping mall.

Song Rongrong hung up the phone and looked at Su Yian slyly. “Tsk tsk, look at how nice our brother-in-law is!”

Meanwhile, Su Yian shook her head, disagreeing with Song Rongrong’s actions. “We’re meeting him for the first time, so you should give him a good first impression. He’s Nuan’s husband, after all.”

“It’s fine. We get to take a look at Nuan’s and Fu Chengyan’s home and find out whether he really treats her well!” This was Song Rongrong’s main intention. She couldn’t care less about a meal.

Thanks to Fu Xicheng, Song Rongrong now regarded everyone with caution. Even if Fu Chengyan seemed to do well last night, she still wanted to personally observe how Shi Nuan living conditions were.
