I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 141

Shi Nuan could not help but laugh as she pushed him away. “All right, we are running late.” Shi Nuan glanced at the clock. “But I am not going together with you.”

Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes quizzically. “Eh?”

“Don’t you remember that no one else apart from my grandfather’s know that we are married? If we appear at Shi Wei’s wedding together, we are going to raise some suspicions!” As Shi Nuan spoke, she saw that Fu Chengyan did not look too happy. She knew deep down that he was very unwilling as well, so she tiptoed to give him a kiss on the corner of his lips.

Fu Chengyan’s eyes deepened at that as he held the back of her head with one hand. Before Shi Nuan could collect her senses, he took over her lips again and gave her an even deeper kiss.

Spurred by his actions, Shi Nuan then returned the kiss. It took a while before they parted reluctantly. Shi Nuan was pouting and heaving slightly by then.

Fu Chengyan’s eyes darkened at the sight of Shi Nuan’s moving lips and the tousled color on them.

After spending all this time with Fu Chengyan, she knew very well what all these were leading to. She then immediately pulled away from him and pouted, “We still have places to go and things to do today, so do behave!”

She then reapplied her lip color before picking out a shawl for herself. The weather was getting cold. No matter how vain a person is, it was important to keep warm, let alone Shi Nuan who was different from the others.

“Alright, I know you are not happy. What about this, let’s just make a cursory appearance at the wedding and leave earlier. Then, tonight we will go and watch a movie!” Shi Nuan arranged his tie and scrutinized his chest carefully. “We still can’t let other people know your identity yet. I know you are unwilling, but I am just trying to help you minimize any potential trouble!”

“Yup!” The icy coldness in his eyes had disappeared. “I know.” He wasn’t angry at her for not introducing him to the other people. It was just that he did not want to waste his time on unnecessary people, especially not on people like that.

However, since Shi Nuan had insisted on attending the wedding, he could not stop her. The thought that Shi Wei could do something to Shi Nuan again made his gaze freeze again. However, she clasped his hand and patted him, “Hey, I know you are unhappy about this. Let’s go in your car then?”

“No need!” Fu Chengyan caressed her cheek gently. “Just do whatever that you want to do, you don’t have to be concerned about me.”

Shi Nuan smiled at that. “There is nothing that I really want to do. It’s just that at the end of the day, Shi Wei is still my sister. I don’t have any excuse to not make an appearance, and I don’t want her to use this as an excuse to treat me badly all the time. However, don’t worry, she won’t be able to do anything to me!”

The two of them then walked out of Wutong Residence. Shi Nuan drove herself in the red Ferrari which was a gift from Fu Chengyan.

Her white cocktail dress formed a huge contrast with the fiery red Ferrari, causing quite a sight. This did not quite correspond with her normal behavior.

Fu Chengyan reached out to caress her head. “Go ahead first, I’ll be right behind you!”

“Alright!” Shi Nuan stepped onto the accelerator and sped off. His smile subsided after he watched her car leave, and he called up Su Shaoqing. “Where are you now?”

“Hey Fu Chengyan, you are a little cruel aren’t you? Why should I go to the wedding? I don’t have any connection with them at all!” Su Shaoqing screamed at him while he was changing. “Also, what kind of promise did you make with Su Bancheng? He was supposed to go for this event, and now he has blackmailed and bribed me into going. You know very well that I don’t get along with him!”

“You are sounding very energetic. Seems like that brother of yours showed you some mercy yesterday after all?” Fu Chengyan’s lips curled up but his voice was unbearably cool.

This angered Su Shaoqing instantly, who was just about to unleash a barrage of curses onto Fu Chengyan. “How dare you say that, you and Su Bancheng….” Before he could finish his sentence, he lost his voice. He stared awkwardly at the man that was standing at his door before swallowing the lump in his throat. When his eyes met that man’s piercing glare, the brightest beam appeared on his face as he asked, “Brother, why are you here?”

He was referring to Su Bancheng, who stared stonily at Su Shaoqing. “You don’t need to know what deal I have struck with Fu Chengyan, but you definitely must go to this event. If not….” Su Bancheng’s lips curled up. “I will go back to Sheen City, and leave the Su family’s empire to you. I don’t think that’s what you really want, right?”

Su Shaoqing’s heart dropped went he felt that he was being forced unwillingly into a corner. “Yes, that’s not what I want at all. I think it is better for you to remain at Jiang City. Su family can’t do without your capabilities!” He already despised himself as it is. “However, why did Aunt ask you to attend the wedding? She knows people from the Shi family?”

“That is none of your concern.” Su Bancheng looked at him coldly as he reminded him. “You are running late.”

Su Shaoqing immediately came to the realization too. “Damn, I’m really going to be late.” He glanced at his phone and realized that Fu Chengyan had yet to hang up. “Chengyan, you heard all that?”

Fu Chengyan harrumphed at him coldly over the phone. “How dumb can you be?” Fu Chengyan said to him jeeringly. “Shaoqing, you should remember that I’ve always had the habit of recording every single phone call right? What do you think Jingxiu and Heng will do if they hear how dumb you sounded?”

“Hey Chengyan, are you threatening me right now?”

“Come over now! I’ll send this recording to the both of them if you are late by even one minute!” Fu Chengyan said coldly before slamming down the phone.

Su Shaoqing immediately wailed, only to be met with a glare from Su Bancheng.

When Shi Nuan made it to the wedding venue, almost all of the guests had arrived. The first one to notice Shi Nuan was Fu Xicheng, who had spotted her the moment she appeared at the entrance.

It was no coincidence that he spotted her. To be honest, he had his eyes fixated at the entrance, waiting for Shi Nuan to appear. He did not know what he was still waiting for, but he just hoped that Shi Nuan could make it. Even more so, he wished that Shi Nuan could be the bride in this wedding instead.

After a long consideration and struggle, Fu Xicheng had finally come to the realization that he loved Shi Nuan. Yes, he really loved her. However, his father forbade their union, because Shi Nuan did not have any company stocks in her hands. To his father, Shi Nuan was not worth anything at all.

The truth was that Shi Nuan did have the Shi family’s company stocks in her hands. In fact, her share might just be more than Shi Wei’s. Hence, Fu Xicheng was in a dilemma as to whether or not tell Fu Yuqing about this. However, he did not dare to tell his father in the end. If Shi Nuan had really given those company stocks to other people, he and Shi Nuan wouldn’t be able to get married anyway.

Just as he was deep in these thoughts, Shi Nuan walked into the venue. She registered her name at the entrance and presented a red packet.

Known for her extravagance, Shi Wei was also excited to show off her newly elevated status. Hence, most of their university mates were in attendance. Everyone was there because of Fu Chengyan. As Fu Xicheng’s uncle, Fu Chengyan was definitely expected to attend the wedding.

As long as they could get to network with Fu Chengyan, the sky would be the limit for their futures.

Shi Nuan was already communicating with Song Rongrong and Su Yian before she arrived. Knowing that they were already there, she looked around for them hurriedly. Lo and behold, she saw the two of them snacking at a corner. Hence, she went up to them happily.

Fu Xicheng was chatting with several guests when he saw Shi Nuan come in. Just as he was about to excuse himself to go to her, there were simply too many guests who wanted to speak to him, making that an impossible mission.

By then, Shi Nuan was already with Song Rongrong and Su Yian. “How are you girls eating already?”

“What else is there to do apart from eating?” Song Rongrong shrugged her shoulders. “Unless you want us to be like them?” She pointed at their ex-classmates. “Look at them, all trying to suck up to the rich people. Tsk tsk!”

Shi Nuan shook her head and chuckled while picking up a tart from Song Rongrong’s plate. “You are right.”

“Where’s your hubby? Why are you here all alone?”

“He’ll be here soon!” Shi Nuan replied. “He definitely has to be here for occasions like this, but not many people know about our relationship, and neither do I want to let people know about it.”

Song Rongrong and Su Yian both nodded their heads and mimed zipping up their lips.

Suddenly, Song Rongrong shouted out in surprise, “Your husband is here!”

She pointed at the entrance, where Fu Chengyan’s arrival had already caused a commotion. Not all the people in the crowd knew who Fu Chengyan was. However, the sight of his unique outfit and the fact that people were thronging him piqued everyone’s curiosity about his identity.

Fu Yuqing and Shi Qingzheng rushed over to greet him too. “Brother, here you are!” Immediately, everyone began to discuss the relationship between Fu Chengyan and Fu Yuqing.

Fu Chengyan shot a cold glance at Fu Yuqing. When he raised his hand slightly, Zhou Zheng instantly stepped forward to hand him a red packet.

Fu Chengyan’s lips curled upwards a little with his icy stare rendering his expression unreadable. Nobody dared to comment much on Fu Yuqing’s attempt to claim kinship, but everyone noticed that Fu Chengyan’s reaction was rather cold.

Somehow, under Fu Chengyan’s glare, Fu Yuqing began to feel a little fearful. However, Shi Jingzheng kept sizing up this extraordinary man. She couldn’t help but exclaim to herself, how is there still such a man in this world?

While Fu Xicheng seemed not bad, he was nothing next to Fu Chengyan.

With a vague smile, Fu Chengyan handed the red packet to Shi Jingzheng. “Congratulations on your daughter’s marriage, Mr. Shi.” He said. Everyone held their breath as they could not quite understand what Fu Chengyan meant.

Clearly, both Fu Chengyan and Fu Yuqing shared the same surname. Were they not related? Did Fu Chengyan come here because of the Shi family?

Shi Jingzheng was rather surprised, as he did not quite know this young man before him. On the other hand, Fu Yuqing’s face was frozen with embarrassment. Of course he was angry, since he had been completely looked over, but he could only suppress his true feelings.

Fu Chengyan glanced casually at the crowd and said, “Oh yes, is Old Mr. Shi here? I had a really good conversation with him just a few days ago, and we were supposed to have another battle of chess today.”

Everyone was surprised once again. He played chess with Old Mr. Shi? Clearly, Old Mr. Shi was the reason why he was here!
