I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 67

Shi Wei froze. She didn’t expect Fu Chengyan to have such a reaction since she was from the Shi family and was also a popular celebrity. She thought anyone who came across her would show her at least some respect.

But Fu Chengyan was straightforward when he bluntly said that he didn’t know who she was. That was humiliating enough.

Shi Wei took a deep breath. She was, after all, a socialite who could control her emotions well. A smile lit up her face as she said, “Mr. Fu, you are a busy man. There were many people at the party, so no wonder you don’t remember me. Let me introduce myself.

My name is Shi Wei, from the Shi family who owns Huancheng. I’m also Fu Xicheng’s fiancée.” Shi Wei was certain Fu Chengyan would at least know who Fu Xicheng was.

Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes and replied, “The Shi family, I remember them. But who is Fu Xicheng?” Fu Chengyan’s lips curved up in a smile. “Anyway, Ms. Shi, are you here to buy shoes?”

Shi Wei’s face fell when Fu Chengyan told her he didn’t know who Fu Xicheng was. But since Fu Chengyan continued the conversation, she smiled and said, “Yes, I came shopping with a few friends. Mr. Fu, are you here to shop too?”

Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes and turned to Shi Nuan instead. “Ms. Shi, are you here to buy shoes too?”

Shi Wei was stunned and she pointed at herself. “Mr. Fu, are you talking to me?”

Fu Chengyan replied with a chuckle. “Who else am I talking to?”

Shi Nuan’s lips twitched as she saw that the sudden change in Shi Wei’s expression was horrifying. When she realized Fu Chengyan was willing to help her out, she nodded. “Yes, I’m here to buy a pair of flats.” Shi Nuan grinned. Since she was here, she wouldn’t let Shi Wei affect her mood.

She turned to the salesperson, “Excuse me, please bring me…” Shi Nuan looked around before pointing at a pair of flats. “A pair of those in size seven.”

Shi Nuan smiled at the salesperson. The salesperson wasn’t a fool either. She had guessed that Fu Chengyan was not an ordinary man based on his actions and speech. From what she heard in the women’s conversation, her guess was affirmed. When they addressed him as “Mr. Fu”, she quickly realized who the man was.

Shi Nuan had come in with him earlier and what happened between them wasn’t her concern. All she knew was that she couldn’t afford to offend Fu Chengyan and Shi Nuan.

“Yes, miss. Just a moment, please.”

The salesperson went off to get the correct size. Shi Nuan then turned to Fu Chengyan. “Mr. Fu, are you here to shop too?”

Fu Chengyan’s eyes sparkled with delight but that sparkle disappeared almost in a flash. He nodded. “I didn’t expect you to remember me, Ms. Shi.”

“Of course I remember you.” Shi Nuan replied with a smile. “My grandpa loves the chess set that you gave him. I wanted to give him one too but its price tag was too high.” Shi Nuan was honest with him.

The chess set costed more than a few million but Fu Chengyan presented it to Shi Yunsheng without hesitation.

Fu Chengyan’s eyes crinkled up. “Good that he likes it.” Fu Chengyan continued, “The brush you gifted him was a brilliant choice too. You’re quite an expert.”

Shi Nuan raised her brows as she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Fu Chengyan seemed to be praising her but he was in fact praising himself. The man chose the brush. In truth, she wasn’t an expert at all.

Fu Chengyan played along with her just to upset Shi Wei. Shi Nuan never expected that he would do something like that. When she noticed that Fu Chengyan wasn’t in his seat, she thought he had left.

She’d be lying if she said she wasn’t happy. As a woman, it felt great to be treated like a princess by Fu Chengyan.

Of course, their act upset Shi Wei greatly. Shi Wei never imagined the reason Fu Chengyan walked up to them was only to talk to Shi Nuan instead of her.

How could that whore Shi Nuan get his attention? Why did Fu Chengyan remember her?

Back then, Shi Nuan saw Fu Chengyan for the first time just like me. Fu Chengyan didn’t even notice Shi Nuan at the party. But why did he come to greet Shi Nuan instead?

The more Shi Wei pondered, the more upset she got. She saw how Shi Nuan interacted with Fu Chengyan and in contrast, how Fu Chengyan failed to remember her. The man was chatting to that whore Shi Nuan happily. That whore most certainly didn’t deserve this!

Anna and Su Su felt the same way as Shi Nuan. At first, they thought Fu Chengyan was brilliantly outstanding. No woman would say no to such a handsome man. After noticing that Fu Chengyan was wearing a custom-fitted suit, they were certain he was a wealthy man.

They heard Shi Wei addressed him as “Mr. Fu”. In Jiang City, there weren’t many people with the surname Fu, let alone rich ones. So, it took just a minute for them to realize who the man was.

But he ignored them and chatted with that whore Shi Nuan!

“Mr. Fu.” Anna interrupted Shi Nuan and Fu Chengyan’s conversation as she wasn’t willing to give up without a fight. “Hello, I’m Anna, An Chenyu’s sister.”

Fu Chengyan arched his brows at Anna.

Anna was initially delighted to see that she had caught his attention. But Fu Chengyan merely gave her a nod before turning away.

Seeing his reaction, Anna felt a great despair and she called out helplessly, “Mr. Fu…”

“Miss, this is the size seven that you wanted. Please come here and try it on.” The salesperson returned with the shoes in her hands.

Shi Nuan smiled at her before turning to Fu Chengyan. “Mr. Fu, I have to go.”

“Okay!” Fu Chengyan nodded. After Shi Nuan walked away to try on her shoes, he turned to look at Shi Wei and her friends.

Anna’s gloomy mood was immediately lifted up as she stared at Fu Chengyan hopefully. Shi Wei and Su Su had the same reaction too. When a refined man like Fu Chengyan started walking towards them, their hearts thumped hard.

A thought even occurred to Shi Wei. If she wasn’t engaged to Fu Xicheng, she’d pursue Fu Chengyan herself.

A tiny smile lit up on Fu Chengyan’s face as his gaze settled on the three women. But he looked away almost immediately and walked past them to the display cabinet. He then stopped to look at a pair of high heels.

Shi Wei and her friends’ faces fell. Fu Chengyan had ignored them several times. No one could bear the humiliation, especially when they were inside a luxury store like this in public.

Shi Wei was a celebrity. She was always in the limelight since her fans would always gather around her. Fu Chengyan was the first man she met who kept ignoring her.

Shi Wei was upset. Why does Fu Chengyan remember that whore Shi Nuan but ignores me?

Since young, I have everything that I want. She stepped forward and stood beside Fu Chengyan. “Mr. Fu, do you like this pair of high heels too? The high heels are—”

“I’ll take this pair of shoes.” Fu Chengyan told the salesperson without waiting for Shi Wei to finish her sentence.

The salesperson came over. “Yes, sir.” She asked, “Sir, what about the size?”

Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes and gazed at Shi Nuan. Shi Nuan felt his eyes on her and raised her head to look at him.

She pursed her lips as her chest tightened. Would Fu Chengyan say something out of the blue?

Fu Chengyan merely smiled. “Size seven.” He stared at Shi Nuan, “Could you help me, Ms. Shi?”

Shi Nuan relaxed before giving him a smile. The pair of flats she had just tried on were dangling in her hands. She answered, “Of course, if you don’t mind.”

“Let her try the high heels.”

“Okay!” The salesperson hurriedly gave the high heels to Shi Nuan. “Ms. Shi, shall you try these on? I think your feet matches well with this pair of high heels!”

The salesperson felt that Shi Nuan was a natural beauty, unlike the other three women.

Now Shi Wei was visibly upset. This was the first time she had ever been so completely ignored like this. Even if the person who did this to her was Fu Chengyan, it wasn’t acceptable.

Shi Wei gripped her handbag so tight that she almost twisted its form. She glared viciously at Shi Nuan and vented all of her frustration on that whore.

Fu Chengyan asked her to try on the high heels? How dare she?

“Excuse me, please give me a pair of the heels. I am a size seven too. I don’t have to try them on.” Shi Wei clenched her teeth.

Fu Chengyan raised his brows and curved his lips up in an attractive smile. He said nothing. Shi Nuan froze when she heard what Shi Wei said, as she was still holding the pair of heels.

She never thought Shi Wei would end up being so frustrated. That wasn’t what she wanted in the first place. But since Shi Wei blurted that out, it was obvious that this man had hurt her pride.

The salesperson was squatting on the ground. A flash of impatience flashed across her eyes as she too heard what Shi Wei said. But she stood up anyway and said, “I’m sorry, miss. This is the last pair in size seven.”

“I’ll take this then!” Shi Wei clenched her teeth. “This is my card!”

“I’m sorry, Mr. Fu has already bought it.” The salesperson gave her a smile.

“He hasn’t paid yet. The person who pays for it first will get it! Here’s my card!” Shi Wei took a card out from her bag. “Why are you still standing there?”

The salesperson maintained the same smile on her face. “Miss, I’m really sorry. Mr. Fu doesn’t have to pay for it. This pair of shoes belongs to him.”

“Y-You don’t want to do my business? Do you know who I am? If I file a complaint about your shop, you won’t be able to survive in Jiang City!”
