I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 134

Shi Nuan completely didn’t expect such a tense situation to turn out this way, nor did she know what Fu Chengyan had said to her granddad that caused the old man to treat him better than he treated Shi Nuan.

The two men talked about business. Shi Nuan didn’t understand much about this aspect, so she was rather sidelined. Feeling bored, Shi Nuan lowered her head and focused on eating, while Fu Chengyan would chat with Shi Yunsheng and took care of Shi Nuan at the same time. Whenever Shi Nuan’s bowl became empty, Fu Chengyan would get her more food. If she wanted to eat prawns, he would peel the shells for her and not let her lift a finger.

It was impossible to do such things just for the sake for putting on a show. Shi Yunsheng had met many people and he knew this. He knew that Fu Chengyan truly treated Shi Nuan well, and he was relieved.

Shi Nuan was anxious throughout the entire meal. She was so occupied with thinking about what Fu Chengyan had said to her granddad that she ate everything Fu Chengyan gave her. When she finally realized it, she was beyond stuffed.

After the meal, Fu Chengyan was extremely thoughtful about the gifts. As they left Yun Shui Jian, Fu Chengyan instructed Zhou Zheng, who had been waiting all along, to send everything over to the Shi family in a car. Shi Yunsheng wanted to turn down the gifts, but he eventually didn’t after some thought.

After seeing Shi Yunsheng off, Shi Nuan turned to Fu Chengyan, unable to hide her curiosity anymore. “What in the world did you say to granddad? Why is he—”

“I told you to leave everything to me!” Fu Chengyan pinched Shi Nuan on the nose. “Meanwhile, why did you say that earlier?” he asked, although without any intention of blaming Shi Nuan. He then held Shi Nuan by the hand. “Shall we take a walk?”

Shi Nuan looked down at her stomach and nodded. “Why did you keep getting food for me? I’m so bloated now,” she couldn’t help but grumble. “If you keep doing this, I’m going to get fat!”

“How could that be?” Fu Chengyan laughed softly and took a look at Shi Nuan before pinching her soft cheeks. “You’re too thin, so it wouldn’t hurt to fatten you up a little. You’d feel nicer to hold too!”

Fu Chengyan’s profound gaze at Shi Nuan made her blush. “You’re crazy!” she exclaimed. “I’m talking about granddad and you’re changing the subject!”

“So you noticed?” Fu Chengyan cast a gentle gaze at Shi Nuan and sighed faintly. He then pulled the woman into his arms and caressed her slightly messy hair. “I told you I’d be careful. As for my conversation with your granddad, that will remain a secret. You should just leave some things to me, OK?”

Being embraced by Fu Chengyan like this made Shi Nuan feel warm all over. “OK. I won’t ask then!” She knew how Fu Chengyan was; if there was something he had to tell her, he would never hide it.

Meanwhile, Mr. Yang drove while glancing at the car following behind. He couldn’t help but sigh emotionally. “Master, it looks like Ms. Nuan has found true love.”

“Yup!” Shi Yunsheng was very happy with Fu Chengyan too. He didn’t care if the man married Shi Nuan in the most dishonorable way; as long as he treated Shi Nuan kindly, that was enough.

“I was initially worried that Shi Wei’s marriage to Fu Xicheng would affect Nuan, but it looks like I was just overthinking. This Fu Chengyan really is a somebody, and I have no concerns leaving Nuan in his care. Jiang Shizheng and I are both old now anyway, so we won’t be able to look after Nuan for long,” Shi Yunsheng spoke with a tired frown on his face. “Shi Wei and Fu Xicheng are getting married two days later?”

“Yes, master,” Mr. Yang nodded and said rather reluctantly. “Master, do you think… Do you think the young master isn’t aware of how much Fu Xicheng and his father, Fu Yuqing, have their eyes on the family’s shares? He’s even letting Ms. Wei marry Fu Xicheng. I don’t know what he’s thinking. Fu Xicheng clearly used to be Ms. Nuan’s boyfriend, but to think that Ms. Wei could do this to her own little sister, and—”

“Forget it, Yang!” Shi Yunsheng interrupted while shaking his head. “This isn’t something you and I can stop anyway. That son of mine—it’s not as if you don’t know how bitter he’s always been towards my adopted son, Shi Yu.” The old man looked unusually melancholic at the mention of Shi Yu. “That child… It must have been tough for him.”

“Don’t say that, master. Master Yu has always been so thoughtful. He left precisely because he didn’t want to cause you pain. He’ll always remember the kindness you’ve shown him, so don’t worry.”

“You’re right. It’s just that I haven’t seen him for quite some years.” Shi Yunsheng was old now, but it was still rare for him to look this lonely. Mr. Yang was also an old man who had been by Shi Yunsheng’s side for so long that he completely understood how his master felt. “If you miss the young master, you can always ask him to come back!”

“Forget it. Just treating Nuan better already gives them so much to complain about. If Shi Yu were to come back, they’d probably go ballistic!” Shi Yunsheng didn’t want Shi Yu to return, but there were some things he couldn’t explain with just a few words. “Thankfully, Nuan has found herself a man like Fu Chengyan, so I’m slightly relieved!”

As Mr. Yang arrived the Hanlin villa area and stopped the car, Zhou Zheng also stopped right behind them and quickly got out. “Sir, would you like me to help move these into your place?”

“Yan is so thoughtful,” Shi Yunsheng remarked as he looked at all the gifts from Fu Chengyan. They were all imported and expensive goods. It wasn’t as though Shi Yunsheng had never seen such things, so he wasn’t too surprised. But it was still a thoughtful move by Fu Chengyan. Since these were items given by an in-law after officially meeting for the first time, Shi Yunsheng couldn’t turn them down.
