I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 150

When Su Shaoqing sent Shi Nuan back home, they met Fu Chengyan, who just got down after changing into a set of clean loungewear. Fu Chengyan raised his eyebrows and said, “Well, that’s late.”

Shi Nuan removed her shoes and passed a pair of indoor slippers to Su Shaoqing, “Please make yourself at home, I’ll go get you some water.”

Fu Chengyan lifted his eyebrows and looked at Su Shaoqing. He responded with a smiley face and teased, “Too bad you weren’t there, Chengyan. It was quite a show!” Su Shaoqing spoke as he sat down. He then made himself comfortable by placing his feet on the coffee table but Fu Chengyan kicked his feet back and said, “Mind your manners!”

Su Shaoqing was in a good mood. He smiled at Fu Chengyan and teased him again, “You need to be careful. Your wife just received a love confession. That fella confessed to your wife in front of me!”

“Who?”

Fu Chengyan’s face turned terribly scary and he glanced at Su Shaoqing coldly.

Shi Nuan just happened to walk out with two cups of water. She passed one to Su Shaoqing then another to Fu Chengyan and explained, “Don’t listen to him. He was just my classmate. There is nothing going on between us.” Su Shaoqing looked as if he was enjoying the chaos.

“OK,” Fu Chengyan was comforted with her presence. He received the glass of water and took a sip. He noticed that Su Shaoqing was not planning on leaving, so he continued, “I still have something to discuss with Shaoqing. Why don’t you go get a shower and rest?”

“Sure,” Shi Nuan glanced at Fu Chengyan and Su Shaoqing. She figured they probably had something important to discuss, so she left to give them some privacy.

After Shi Nuan left Fu Chengyan’s sight, he turned to Su Shaoqing and questioned gloomily, “Her classmate? Which one?”

Su Shaoqing curled his lips and smiled innocently with a spark in his eyes, “I knew you weren’t going to let it go.” Even though Shi Nuan comforted Fu Chengyan promptly, with his temper, he was not going to let anyone taint Shi Nuan. “Remember that reunion last time? Your wife was bitten by a snake. The classmate was the one who saved her.”

Once Su Shaoqing finished his sentence, he could feel the temperature drop down. He could not help sighing, “Chengyan, don’t be dramatic. He likes your wife, that’s all.”

“That’s not allowed!”

Fu Chengyan tried to recall the man who saved Shi Nuan and immediately squinted his eyes, asking, “What did he say to May?”

“Nothing much though. According to my observation, your wife was not attracted to him at all. So, you don’t have to worry. Comparatively, you are one of the most capable men in Jiang City. Now the problem is with my brother,” Su Shaoqing said.

Fu Chengyan furrowed his eyebrow, “Su Bancheng is not interested in May.” If not, they would not have reached their mutual agreement.

“Right, he is not interested. But my aunt owes it to your mother-in-law. You know Jiang Yu’s nature. Now that they can finally form ties with Su Family, they won’t give up easily. This could probably keep your wife busy for a while. In fact, my brother would be a nice choice- they have good taste!” Su Shaoqing gloated.

Fu Chengyan looked at Su Shaoqing but it was difficult to tell what was on his mind.

It creeped Su Shaoqing out, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Well, I still have you on my side. So from now on, you are responsible for your role as Su Bancheng,” stressed Fu Chengyan as he stood up and looked at Su Shaoqing condescendingly.

“What? Where did this come from? Come on, Chengyan, be sensible. I only promised you and my brother to help out once. It was a desperate measure. You can’t have me pretend to be him every single time. And she is your wife. Are you really OK with that?” Su Shaoqing protested and narrowed his almond-shaped eyes with dissatisfaction.

Su Shaoqing felt a sense of numbness rippling across his scalp. The thought of Fu Chengyan and Su Bancheng plotting against him together troubled him, “I treated both of you as my brothers, I don’t deserve this!”

Fu Chengyan curled his lips, his narrowed eyes looked smiley but full with conspiracies. He tapped on Su Shaoqing’s shoulder to comfort his anxiousness, “I believe in you. You will play this right in my favor. OK now, time’s up. You should go now.”

Fu Chengyan chucked Su Shaoqing out mercilessly. He went to the bedroom to check on Shi Nuan and found that she was taking a shower. He then proceeded to his study room.

To attend the wedding today, he postponed a lot of work. He still had to prepare the documents for tomorrow’s meeting. Hence, Fu Chengyan buried himself with work once he entered the study room.

After Shi Nuan had her shower, she waited for Fu Chengyan for a while in the bedroom. When he did not show up, Shi Nuan checked the hallway and realized the lights in the living room were off. She headed to the study room and found Fu Chengyan busy working.

Shi Nuan curled her lips and was preparing to leave but Fu Chengyan had already noticed her presence. “Can’t sleep yet?”

Shi Nuan paused and moved towards him. She glanced at the files in Fu Chengyan’s hand, asking, “What are these?”

“The development of West City. It hasn’t been confirmed yet. The project tendering starts next month and I need to prepare for it,” said Fu Chengyan as he closed the file and signaled Shi Nuan to come near him.

Once Shi Nuan was close enough, Fu Chengyan stretched his slender arm and grabbed her. She fell in a sitting position on Fu Chengyan’s lap. “Hey, I thought you have got work to do,” Shi Nuan blushed and lowered her head.

“Almost done. You couldn’t sleep?” Fu Chengyan’s deep but clear voice disclosed a slight hint of self-restraint.

Shi Nuan nodded, “I feel energetic today. Probably because I have been lazy and spent too much time at home. I was slacking around.”

“Really? It wasn’t because of what happened today?” Fu Chengyan chuckled and pecked on Shi Nuan’s lips gently. His large hand squeezed her fingers then pinched on her phalanges softly.

Shi Nuan was momentarily stunned and she tilted her head to meet with Fu Chengyan’s deep dark eyes. Unsurprisingly, she detected a slightly different emotion from his usual even-tempered eyes. She paused shortly before giggling and then she leaned her head on his shoulder. She shrugged her shoulders to relax herself and said, “Yan, is that jealousy I sense?”

There was a rare ripple of emotion in Fu Chengyan’s deep eyes, “Who said anything about jealousy?”

One of his hands was wrapping Shi Nuan’s waist while another hand squeezed on her fingers, he increased the pressure on both sides and said, “How could that be possible?”

Shi Nuan held back her laughter; she was forced to straighten her back to meet with Fu Chengyan’s eyes. She bit her lips and said, “Right, not jealous at all.” But the smile in her eyes revealed her emotions.

Fu Chengyan’s eyes darkened as he claimed his rightful ownership over Shi Nuan with a kiss upon her lips.

Before Shi Nuan could make a sound, her seductive lips were sealed. Shi Nuan blinked, as soon as their eyes met, she shut her eyes hurriedly and followed Fu Chengyan’s lead, responding slowly.

Undeniably, Fu Chengyan was extremely in control in this aspect. He gradually led Shi Nuan’s emotions while deepening the kiss. It seemed that so much time had passed when Fu Chengyan’s lips finally separated with Shi Nuan’s. Fu Chengyan lightly rested his forehead on hers and his fingers rubbed on her cheek gently. He was panting softly when he said, “You are mine. Do I need to be jealous?”

“No. You don’t,” Shi Nuan’s mind was cloudy, she was still in a daze because of Fu Chengyan’s kiss. She could care less for the jealousy.

However, her heart was contented. No matter what Fu Chengyan said, she was happy. It showed that Shi Nuan meant everything to Fu Chengyan. “You are not jealous and you don’t need to. Because other than you, I could not have loved anyone else. There is no chance for you to be jealous.”

“That’s more like it. But still, I won’t go easy on you. Tell me, what’s going on with that man?” Fu Chengyan pinched Shi Nuan lightly.

Shi Nuan was puzzled- she thought Fu Chengyan’s irregularities today were because of Shi Wei and Fu Xicheng’s wedding as well as the blind date with Su Shaoqing. She never expected that Qin Yue was the reason instead.

When she realized what was on Fu Chengyan’s mind, she despised Su Shaoqing in her heart. How could he tattle tell to Fu Chengyan?

Shi Nuan felt the pressure on her waist, even though Fu Chengyan’s force was not aggressive, she could still feel some aching. She complained lightly, “Go easy. What’s that for?”

His mildly warm tongue licked Shi Nuan’s earlobe while he asked with his deep voice, “What are you thinking about?” Shi Nuan could not help but shiver lightly. She stopped Fu Chengyan from going further. Fu Chengyan would not stop, “How could you think of another man when you are with me?”

“No!” Shi Nuan muttered in denial. She looked at Fu Chengyan and showed her dissatisfaction. Why would you deny such overbearing jealousy? It is so obvious! You are overthinking when I was just slightly distracted. Shi Nuan thought to herself secretly. “Another man? Are you kidding me? A perfect man like you is right in front of me. It makes no sense not to pay full attention to you.”

Shi Nuan bit her lips, her eyes rolled and she circled Fu Chengyan’s neck with her hands. She leaned forward and whispered in his ear, “I see that now- you have no self-confidence. Mr. Fu, you have to know that you are the best of all people in Jiang City. How could I leave my elite husband behind for any other man? That would be silly!”

Shi Nuan’s words pleased Fu Chengyan greatly. Her breath tickled his neck when she whispered. He buried his head in Shi Nuan’s neck and bit her gently, “You are not silly. That’s why we have found each other. But I am not confident that those annoying flies would leave you alone. Look what happened today- too many people were looking at you. I don’t like it!”

Shi Nuan was utterly dumbfounded by his remarks. “No one was staring at me. You were the one who attracted all the attention at the wedding banquet. Don’t you know that? Not only a bunch of women stared at you, but men too! I should be the one who is jealous.”

Shi Nuan flung her arms around Fu Chengyan’s neck, “Yan, actually you look cute when you are jealous!”
