I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 99

Shi Nuan looked at Fu Chengyan standing near the wardrobe, as if he was deeply occupied in thoughts. Shi Nuan bit her lip and walked over hesitantly, “I’m just thinking… Now that we’ve… Anyway, I just decided to move your clothes here. You’re not getting mad, are you?”

Shi Nuan regarded Fu Chengyan’s face intently and tried to observe even his slightest shift in expression, out of fear that Fu Chengyan would get upset at her.

Fu Chengyan’s lips curved into a smile and he looked warmly at Shi Nuan. He reached out his hand to pat Shi Nuan’s head and then locked her into an embrace, “Why would I?” He was actually overjoyed.

He initially thought that the woman had no sense but she actually took all these initiatives. How could he get angry at her?

Shi Nuan was immensely relieved at Fu Chengyan’s remark. She burrowed her head into Fu Chengyan’s chest, “Why are you back so early today?”

“Because I miss you!” Fu Chengyan replied with his low and husky voice as he stroked Shi Nuan’s soft hair and gazed lovingly at her.

Shi Nuan felt a warm sweetness filling her heart. She leaned in his chest and bit her lip, then she lifted her head to kiss Fu Chengyan’s chin, “I’ve bought your favorite vegetables and made you a meal!”

Shi Nuan wanted to leave to make dinner but was stopped by Fu Chengyan who grabbed her hand, “You’ve been busy all day. Take a rest and let me prepare dinner!”

“Ah, but…”

“Take it as my treat.” Fu Chengyan brushed her nose with a finger as he grinned from ear to ear, “A treat for you being initiative!”

Shi Nuan looked at Fu Chengyan walking away and she blushed slightly. She touched the tip of her nose and could still almost feel the warmth of his fingertips. The warmth rippled from her nose to her heart.

Fu Chengyan was a good cook. Shi Nuan was sure of it after being together with Fu Chengyan for some time. However, today’s meal was even more savory.

She took several peeks at Fu Chengyan as if she was peering at some treasure. Fu Chengyan felt a bit helpless and could only put down his chopsticks and looked at Shi Nuan. Shi Nuan was stumped at Fu Chengyan’s sudden move and lowered her head awkwardly.

Fu Chengyan curved his lips, “Not hungry?”

Shi Nuan burrowed her head to eat and her head got lower and lower, close to getting her entire face into the bowl.

Fu Chengyan shook his head helplessly, “Eat properly, we’ll talk later.”

“Okay.” Shi Nuan felt embarrassed but she still stole a last glance at Fu Chengyan and this time she was caught in the act.

Shi Nuan did not eat much and after she was done eating, she sat up straight to face Fu Chengyan. It was undeniable that Fu Chengyan was a good-looking man. She was also deeply attracted by his calm demeanor.

Shi Nuan felt like she was going insane as her brain was filled with thoughts about Fu Chengyan.

Fu Chengyan finally put down his cutlery and his slender fingers tapped upon the table, “You have something to say?”

Shi Nuan nodded, “I’ve told grandpa about us.”

Fu Chengyan nodded in reply, he knew about this. He had guessed it when Shi Nuan called him just now. “And then?”

“My parents know about it too but they don’t quite believe that I have given those shares away.” Shi Nuan chuckled helplessly, “They really think that I covet Shi family’s assets!”

“What do you plan to do?” Fu Chengyan cleared his throat slightly, “You need my help?”

“Not at the moment.” Shi Nuan shook her head. She did not want to trouble Fu Chengyan for everything. “I’ve told them that my portion of the shares will not threaten them as long as they don’t give away their own shares. I will put my shares to good use if they try to do so.”

Fu Chengyan pursed his lips and Shi Nuan looked nervously at him, “Why? Did I say anything wrong?”

“No, you’re actually doing the right thing.” He just did not hope for Shi Nuan to be dragged into this mess so soon. The Shi family was not to be feared but they were Shi Nuan’s parents after all. He did not want to be completely ruthless towards them. “Your shares are not actually enough to control them. The best you can do is to be on par with them. You have to have absolute advantage if you really want to do this. You get me?”

Shi Nuan’s heart sank, “You know that I don’t like to interfere in these. But I get what you mean. I don’t have a lot of shares on my hands though.” Shi Yunsheng did give her a lot already. The first time he had given 15%, then the other time 25%, making up a total of 40% in her hands. That was more than any other Shi family members. “You mean I should get the shares from other people?”

Shi Nuan had only known today that the first document she signed was inauthentic, only the second one was valid, only that she had not noticed it before. It was until at the hospital ward that Shi Nuan realized that grandpa had given her all 40% of his shares to her. No wonder mum and dad are so exasperated.
