I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 54

Shi Nuan stopped Fu Chengyan from causing more trouble, “We’re really sorry!”

“We’ll let you off this time as you did not cause any damage, but please behave yourself. You can play however you want at home, but not in public. We wouldn’t want an accident to happen here in the mall with so many people, right?”

“You’re absolutely right. We’ll take note of that. It won’t happen again.” Shi Nuan smiled and apologized again.

Shi Nuan glared at the impatient Fu Chengyan and signaled him by scratching his palm, “It’s nothing major, but we did cause trouble. We should apologize to him.”

“Me? Apologize?” Fu Chengyan crossed his eyebrows, but Shi Nuan warned him with her eyes. Our great Second Master Fu was frightened by a woman’s glare for the first time, “Sorry for causing you trouble.”

The security guard was easygoing enough to let them off as they apologized, “Now that you’ve apologized, you’re…”

“Sorry for being late!”

Zhou Zheng appeared right on time while pretending to be out of breath. The fact was he had arrived earlier but stood outside and witnessed the whole episode. He coughed dryly at Fu Chengyan’s angry look anxiously, “I was late from a traffic jam, Master Chengyan. This…”

“Why don’t you come later?” Fu Chengyan let out a cold snort and glared at Zhou Zheng who was smiling apologetically, “I was caught in a traffic jam, Master Chengyan!”

Zhou Zheng was scared and was at the verge of crying but was still shocked to see his boss apologized to a grassroot worker.

However, he knew to keep quiet about some stories. So he spoke seriously, “Please leave with your missus, Master Chengyan. I’ll take care of things here.”

Fu Chengyan threw a warning look at Zhou Zheng coldly. He snorted and held Shi Nuan’s hand, “Let’s go.”

Shi Nuan tried to speak but she stopped at Zhou Zheng’s pleading eyes and Fu Chengyan’s darkened face. She left with him without saying anything.

Zhou Zheng regretted for missing the best time to enter the room for the show.

The security guard was confused with them especially Zhou Zheng, “There is nothing for you to do here anymore.”

Zhou Zheng kept quiet.

The security guard stared at Zhou Zheng, “By the way, who are you?”

“Haha!” Zhou Zheng smiled coldly, “Do you know whose mall is this?”

“Of course.” The security guard looked at Zhou Zheng as if he was a fool, “It belongs to Shengyuan Group. I have no time to chat with you here.”

“Good, me too. The guy who just left is the owner of Shengyuan Group. Be careful next time.”

“What??” The security guard was shocked, “Are you joking?”

“Do I look like I’m joking?” Zhou Zheng fixed his necktie, “You shouldn’t mind the boss and the lady boss’s business next time.”

Zhou Zheng tapped on his shoulders, “You’re lucky to meet the lady boss today.”

The security guard was shocked…

Shi Nuan observed Fu Chengyan’s mood as he took her out of the mall. He gripped her tighter when she tried to pull her hand away.

Shi Nuan pursed her lips, “Are you mad at me?”

Fu Chengyan kept quiet. She stopped and tugged his hand, “Don’t be petty. The security guard was doing his job to stop us. We have created a mess.”

Fu Chengyan felt funny at the sudden itch on his palm. He pretended to be solemn at Shi Nuan’s words. “But you asked me to apologize.” He turned around to Shi Nuan.

She felt bad and bit her lips. Fu Chengyan would be frustrated as he never had to apologize for anything. Did he feel embarrassed for apologizing today? “It’s okay! No one knew about what happened today.”

“What about Zhou Zheng?”

“I hate it when you asked me to apologize.” Fu Chengyan spoke coldly.

“Fine, it’s my fault. But Zhou Zheng wouldn’t dare to tell anyone about it.” Shi Nuan said, “Besides, it was our fault. You…”

“Pfft!” Fu Chengyan couldn’t take it any longer and laugh at her reaction.

Shi Nuan realized that Fu Chengyan was fooling with her seeing that he smiled. “Well done. You’re teasing me now?” She asked with her face flushed.

Shi Nuan pulled her hand away and pinched Fu Chengyan’s arm. “How can you do this to me?”

“Hmm!” Fu Chengyan drew a breath with his brows squeezing together. Shi Nuan let go and stared at him anxiously, “Does it hurt that much? I didn’t pinch you that hard. Are you okay?”

Shi Nuan tried to pull Fu Chengyan’s sleeve up, but he caught her in his arms. “It’s okay. I’m fine.”

Shi Nuan was a little overwhelmed with his embrace. She wanted to resist this strange feeling in her, but it had somehow attracted.

Fu Chengyan had a lemony citrus scent on him blended with a hint of coldness but it was so refreshing.

Shi Nuan didn’t know that a man could smell that great. Fu Chengyan pulled her in and pressed her head onto his chest lightly.

She could hear the rhythm of his strong heartbeat and her heartbeat went along. Then, she blushed and pushed Fu Chengyan’s away with her hands, “What are you doing? Let me go! Everyone is watching.”

Shi Nuan was shy and wanted to push Fu Chengyan away, but he pressed her head down, “Don’t move.”

She could smell him and his husky voice had stopped her from moving. She stiffened in his arms. “What’s the matter?”

“Little Five.” He called her.

Shi Nuan blinked, “Hmm?”

“It’s nothing.” Fu Chengyan took a deep breath and let go of her as he didn’t want to scare her. He turned to the side and picked up the groceries, “We should get going after wasting so much time. Didn’t you say you are hungry?”

Shi Nuan rubbed her stomach, “I’m really hungry.” She didn’t want to think too much about Fu Chengyan’s action then, “Which one of us is cooking today?”

“You drive us home, and I’ll cook for you. Let’s go!” Fu Chengyan said.

When Zhou Zheng came out of the mall, he saw his noble boss looking at Shi Nuan dotingly with the groceries they bought in his hands.

He couldn’t believe his eyes that the cold man would step down and lived a simple life like this.

Third Master Li and Fourth Master Su would laugh at him if they knew about this.

Zhou Zheng felt terrified at the scene and chased it away quickly, “I saw nothing, I didn’t see anything!”

Shi Nuan felt weird with Fu Chengyan sitting at the passenger seat as she drove. She had never felt this way before.

He turned and sat sideways while holding his face with his hand and stared at her casually, “Why are you looking at me this way?”

Shi Nuan was embarrassed for being caught in action, “It’s nothing. I was just wondering why you let me drive when I’m bad at driving?”

“Practice makes perfect. You have to learn how to drive better now. I think you should drive whenever we go out together.”

Shi Nuan was speechless with his explanation. She somehow dug her own grave and suddenly remembered, “So Shengyuan Group actually have dealings with Fucheng!”

“Hmm?” Fu Chengyan raised his eyebrow seeing how stiff she was in changing the topic and nodded, “Yes. Are you sure that you’ve worked at Fucheng for a few years?”

Shi Nuan pursed her lips, “Fine, I’ve never paid attention to it. I didn’t know Fucheng was related to you or that Shengyuan belonged to you.”

Fu Chengyan couldn’t help but laugh, “What do you want to know?”

“Why did you cut Fucheng’s orders?” Shi Nuan couldn’t figure it out.

Fu Chengyan laid by the car door with a smirk on his face while tapping his knee, “You are very smart. I am sure you can guess it.”

Shi Nuan stared at Fu Chengyan in suspicion, “I know Fucheng wouldn’t have survived for so long without Shengyuan’s support. But I don’t understand your relationship with Fucheng, or even Fu Yuqing and Fu Xicheng. You are a very intelligent person so you should know that this is a bottomless pit!”

Fu Chengyan raised his eyebrows and signaled Shi Nuan to continue. So she went on, “Are you giving up on Fucheng this time?”

He was impressed, “As I have said earlier, you’re smart.”
