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.

Shi Nuan was not business-savvy but she knew what the 40% of shares meant.

Shi Nuan continued, “I’ll take care of it, don’t worry.” Fu Chengyan then got up to clean up the dishes and Shi Nuan stood up at the same time, saying, “Let me do it!”

Fu Chengyan put his hand over Shi Nuan’s and shook his head, “Go take a seat and let me do it!”

Shi Nuan pulled her hand back but followed Fu Chengyan into the kitchen as she fixed her gaze on Fu Chengyan’s back. “I’ve always thought that rich kids like you guys don’t do chores personally.”

Fu Chengyan paused and then said, “Then what do you think I should do?”

Shi Nuan contemplated for a bit before answering, “Just play around and live as you please.” Shi Nuan was serious when she answered Fu Chengyan’s question. Fu Chengyan merely chuckled at her words, “I went abroad when I was little. You know about that, don’t you? Not every rich people live like that, not especially the Fu family. I would say that the Fu family is very strict when it comes to education.”

Shi Nuan could see the melancholy in Fu Chengyan’s eyes as he put on a thin smile. She went closer to him and leaned against his back, giving him a tight hug around his waist. “Thank you, Fu Chengyan!”

“Hmm?” Fu Chengyan felt her light scent and the loneliness in her tone. Fu Chengyan merely waved his hands helplessly at her sudden move and let her hug him tight, “What are you thanking me for?”

“Thank you for giving me a home!” It was not until now that Shi Nuan felt like Fu Chengyan was her husband and they were a family.

She had parents and a sister but they did not make her feel like she had a family. Other than her grandfathers from both paternal and maternal side, nobody ever treated her nicely.

Shi Nuan rubbed herself against Fu Chengyan’s back, “I will take good care of you and will always be by your side.”

Fu Chengyan’s lips curved into a smile and his gaze softened.

“Okay, I will always be by your side too. But wifey, if you keep hugging me like this, I don’t think it’s likely that I can get these dishes done by this evening!” Fu Chengyan said teasingly.

Shi Nuan hurriedly let go of him. She distanced herself from Fu Chengyan and blushed, “I- I’ll let you do the dishes then. I’m going to watch the TV!”

Shi Nuan scurried away to the living room and Shi Nuan grinned as he saw Shi Nuan running away awkwardly.

Shi Nuan’s heart was pounding as it was her first time initiating intimacy and she still couldn’t believe that she had done something like that. She had never been the initiative one between the two of them all these years.

Shi Nuan had no idea what was playing on the TV as her thought was totally preoccupied by Fu Chengyan. She thought that she was going insane. It seems like…. I am quite into Fu Chengyan.

Fu Chengyan walked over to the sofa and sat down beside her after he was done with the dishes. He waved his hands in front of Shi Nuan and she bit her lip. Shi Nuan then moved closer to Fu Chengyan and lifted her head to look at him.

Fu Chengyan patted at his lap and hugged her as he swept her into his embrace. With that, Shi Nuan’s head rested on his lap and she placed her hands on his knees. Her eyes widened a bit as she looked at Fu Chengyan.

Fu Chengyan reached out his hands to massage Shi Nuan’s temples gently. She soon felt really relaxed and comfortable and her lips curved into a smile as she shut her eyes.

Fu Chengyan hands were not only slender and good-looking, they were also very flexible. Shi Nuan felt completely at ease after he massaged her for a while. His gentle fingers maneuvered skillfully at her temples as if they were dancing gracefully.

Shi Nuan’s lips curved into a smile and she mimicked the movement of his fingers as she held her hands high until she touched Fu Chengyan’s chin. “Lower, yes. Your head, lower it some more!”

Fu Chengyan obediently lowered his head and his out-of-the-world handsome face filled her sight. She ran her fingers across his face and when she reached his chin, she noticed he had a bit stubble and she poked his chin repeatedly to tease him.

Fu Chengyan could not help himself at her cuteness and reached out to hold her hand affectionately. “Don’t play around!”

Shi Nuan pulled her hand out of his and continued to draw on his face using her finger. “Why is your skin so nice? It’s even better than mine!”

Shi Nuan touched her face and then Fu Chengyan’s and complained, “Your skin is better than a woman. I’m so jealous!”

“There’s no need to get jealous. I’m all yours!” Fu Chengyan said as he gazed into the pair of iridescent eyes blinking back at him underneath those long lashes.

His expression grew stern as he fixed his gaze at the full, rosy pair of lips while his Adam’s apple bobbed up and down. His ebony eyes were deep-set.

He sighed softly and brought her chin close to his as he planted a kiss on the lips that he had long yearned for.
