I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 154

It was a calm and silent night; even a pin drop could be heard. It was the first time Shi Wei entered the house that belonged to Fu Xicheng and herself. She was filled with happiness.

Fu Xicheng stayed with Fu Yuqing and Liu Minjun all this while. However, Liu Min realized the need for more personal space as her son had married. She had thought of this earlier and bought a marital home for them both. It was not too far, and was right next to the Fu family.

Owing to the fact that her daughter-in-law was a celebrity and might get a lot of attention, especially from the media, Liu Min spent a fortune on the renovations and furniture, all according to Shi Wei’s wishes.

She was engulfed in happiness as she stepped into the house, completely forgetting about Fu Xicheng, who was drunk.

“Hey, Wei. Please bear with Xicheng today. He was thrilled and drank a couple more drinks,” she said. Liu Min knew that Shi Wei was tired, even though her expression showed otherwise. She felt sorry and was in an awkward position as her son was sleeping soundly at the side.

“Mum, don’t worry. Xicheng is my husband, I’ll definitely take good care of him. It’s late now, both of you should go back and rest now,” Shi Wei said while looking at Fu Yuqing. “Mum, dad, good night!”

“Alright. I’ll hand Xicheng to you. Sorry for the trouble,” Liu Min said.

“My pleasure.”

Shi Wei felt relieved after sending off Xicheng’s parents and walked over to Xicheng. The aureate evening light shone on Fu Xicheng’s handsome-looking face; she reached out and gently touched his face. “Finally! You are mine!” she said.

Shi Wei removed her shirt and took a bath. As she walked out of the bathroom, she saw Fu Xicheng naked on the bed and in a mess. She tiptoed over, trying not to wake Xicheng. She took a cloth and started to clean Xicheng up. As she reached the space between his thighs, Shi Wei could feel it turn hard, and she blushed. Slowly, she held it with both of her warm hands.

He could feel the palms in his dream; subconsciously, he flipped and pressed Shi Wei against the bed. As he leaned forward, Shi Wei could feel the warmth of Xicheng’s breath; their bodies got closer, and he eventually kissed her with passion.

The next day, when Shi Wei woke up, her man was still asleep. She then reached her hands out and touched Xicheng’s face. Fu Xicheng suddenly opened his eyes and saw Shi Wei next to her. At that moment, he was stunned. Why am I on the bed with Shi Wei? He then remembered they were married yesterday; he had yet to get used to it.

“Good morning!” Shi Wei had a smile on her face as she saw Xicheng spacing out. She then asked, “Xicheng? What’s wrong? Why are you staring at me like that?”

“Ah, it’s nothing. I was thinking about how much I drank last night. How did I even end up like this?” he said, trying to cover up.

“Says you. You drank so much that it was mum and dad who helped carry you into the room,” said Shi Wei with a blush on her cheeks. “Alright, wakey-wakey! Time to get up!”

After they washed up, Shi Wei suddenly remembered and asked, “Oh, what did Uncle give you last night? A gift, I suppose?”

Uncle?

Fu Xicheng’s gaze deepened, “You mean Fu Chengyan?” Xicheng had a weird feeling last night, especially when he saw Fu Chengyan sat beside Shi Nuan. Unexpectedly, he did not repulse Shi Nuan; that was the feeling that made Xicheng uncomfortable.

“Yeah? What’s up? Why do you seem a bit unhappy about Uncle?” she asked with curiosity.

“Let’s stop calling him uncle. Moreover, we are not biologically related, and we’re around the same age,” Fu Xicheng urged impatiently. It seemed like he wanted nothing to do with Chengyuan. If Shi Wei’s instinct was right, Xicheng hated Fu Chengyan.

Shi Wei did not like him too. She did not know why she had this weird feeling churning in her stomach every time she saw them. “Okay then! It doesn’t matter anyway,” she said.

“Right…” he replied. As Fu Xicheng opened the gift, he raised his eyebrow in confusion. Shi Wei took a closer took. There were two things in the gift box: one was a travel-around-the-world ticket, and another was a document, with Shi Wei’s name on it.

Shi Wei took it up, and her eyes were wide open, “Wow! This is an endorsement by CMC! My gosh! It is a well-known brand in Europe! Everyone is talking about it! I didn’t know that Fu Chengyan was so capable!” Shi Wei’s eyes were shining bright like a diamond, and she couldn’t take her eyes off the gift.

Compared to the travel-around-the-world ticket, Shi Wei personally liked the endorsement more. After all, she had the money for travel, and it was just a matter of time. But what was the meaning behind this endorsement? It meant a lot to her – resourcefulness, perseverance, and worth, which was crucial to her in the entertainment industry.

“My gosh!” Shi Wei was revolved and wrapped in happiness. “Xicheng! I love you so much!” Shi Wei gave a kiss on Xicheng’s lips. What she did not realize was Fu Xicheng’s infuriated expression.

From Fu Xicheng’s perspective, it was a slap on his face. He did not need money, but Shi Wei lacked resources. Fu Chengyan had both.

“I have to call Guan Jing now. We must turn the tables and win!” he expressed confidently.

Meanwhile, the news report about a popular celebrity who got married to a rich man’s son was all over the news. The words spread like fire, and it was soon on the news headlines; it was even in the finance section.

When Zhou Zheng handed the file to Fu Chengyan, he couldn’t help but scoff, “Master Chengyan, these were sent out by Shi Wei’s manager, Guan Jing. Xinhuang was unaware of it.”

Fu Chengyan smirked as he glimpsed through the headlines; it was the same old tricks that the media would use. They would exaggerate things to attract readers, and it was nothing new. “Well, anything else?”

“Lingyu took Mrs. Fu to the western district. It seems that Lingyu decided to train Mrs. Fu herself.”

Fu Chengyan glanced at Zhou Zheng, “Huh? Are you bored and have nothing to do?”

Zhou Zheng was taken aback and straightened his posture, “No, sir. My apologies. I’ll get prepared now and head to Xinhuang.” Zhou Zheng knew that he almost crossed a line.

About Shi Nuan’s problem, it was not a big deal; even if it was, it was not Shi Nuan’s fault.

Fu Chengyan waved him off, “You’re dismissed.”

As Zhou Zheng left, he immediately picked up the phone and called Zhang Qing and Shi Wei, who worked in the public relations department. “Take care of Shi Wei’s problem,” he ordered.

“Shi Wei? What happened to her?” Yu Meng asked. She had only heard of her name but had not met Shi Wei personally. Even though she worked in the public relations department, she did not care about a small celebrity like Shi Wei.

Previously, Yu Meng was curious if Xinhuang had signed Shi Wei.

Upon hearing it for the first time, she immediately searched for the news about Shi Wei. She facepalmed, “Is she obsessed with becoming famous?”

“Absolutely!” Zhang Qing exclaimed as he received the memo too. “Since she has already signed on with Xinhuang, I’m not sure what else she is trying to do,” Zhang Qing complained. At once, he took up the phone and called Guan Jing. “What is this all about?” he asked, feeling disturbed. “You did all these without going through us?” He was agitated that Guan Jing had taken matters into his own hands.

“What?” Guan Jing answered while watching the news. He was filled with satisfaction from the look of his expression; the news coverage about Shi Wei was indeed a success. However, the annoyance in Zhang Qing’s tone was something he had not expected. “Mr. Zhang, what do you mean?”

“What do I mean? It’s all about Shi Wei’s publicity. We are still in the midst of discussing with the Board, yet you ignored us and started spreading the news. Are we non-existent to you?”

“I-I…” Guan Jing never thought that it would be this serious. “But p-previously when we…”

“I don’t care how it was run previously. Our company, our rules. We need to rebrand Shi Wei. Otherwise, the previous incidents may be leaked,” Zhang Qing sounded authoritative.

Zhang Qing then hung up the phone and called Zhou Zheng. He told Zhou Zheng that everything was settled and promised that he would take care of the rest.

Shi Nuan followed Lin Yu the whole day. Basically, they were strolling around in the deserted land of West City while scouting out the area. Lin Yu was a knowledgeable person; she told Shi Nuan everything that was on her mind. Shi Nuan was right behind Lin Yu, with a pen and notebook in her hands. She followed obediently with her high heels on while Shi Nuan led the way. It was late in the evening, and the sun was setting before Lin Yu stopped. “Alright! Let’s call it a day!” Lin Yu said while looking in Shi Nuan’s direction. Shi Nuan looked exhausted as she could barely stand.

However, Shi Nuan was someone who was persevering. Neither did she complain nor make any fuss about how tired she was.

Lin Yu looked at Shi Nuan’s feet. It seemed to be worn out after the day’s hard work. She stood uncomfortably as she moved her feet constantly, trying to find the most comfortable position.

Lin Yu nodded with satisfaction, “Let’s head back!”

“Okay,” Lin Yu replied while closing her notebook. Lin Yu followed Shi Nuan to the car. As they sat down, Shi Nuan started to search around, but only manage to find a bottle of plain water and handed it to Lin Yu. “Here you go, take it. It’s my fault for being inconsiderate and caused your injury.”

“Oh, it’s nothing!” Shi Nuan finally understood why Lin Yu was not driving. She thought that Lin Yu had left something behind. “It’s not that painful. Anyway, I’m willing to sacrifice for the sake of beauty,” she replied.

Although Shi Nuan said so, she was rubbing her feet constantly. “Thank you very much for bringing me out, sir. I learned a lot today,” she thanked Lin Yu sincerely.

“Look at the time! Let’s head back to the office, shall we?”

“Sure!”

They headed back to the office, but it was past the office hours. Hence, Shi Nuan went downstairs.

As she entered her car and settled, she felt as if someone was behind her. Without hesitation, she abruptly turned around and saw Fu Chengyan in the back seat with a pile of documents in his hands. She had no idea when he entered, and was surprised. “You’re off work?” Chengyan asked.

“You gave me a scare!” she yelled, as she patted her chest, feeling relieved. Her face was slightly pale and she asked, “And why are you in my car?”

Shi Nuan glared at Fu Chengyan as she felt irritated. Fu Chengyan smirked and folded the documents. “So, you’re with Lin Yu the whole day?” he asked with a neutral voice, sounding as if nothing had happened.

Shi Nuan nodded. “Yeah, Sir Lin Yu brought me to West City. Didn’t you tell me about the development plan in West City? I am so glad that he brought me along,” she said with a big smile. “Hmm, I just joined the company, yet Mr. Lin involved me in such an important project. Do you think it’s inappropriate?” she asked.

Shi Nuan did not realize that Fu Chengyan’s expression darkened. “Mr. Lin?” Fu Chengyan asked in irritation. He bit his lips and continued, “You address Lin Yu as so?”

“Yeah, yeah. He is my senior, and I learned a lot from him! Calling him that wouldn’t be a problem, right?”

“Of course, there is a problem with it! And it’s a big problem!” Fu Chengyan blurted out, “I am your husband. If he is of such superiority, then am I inferior to him?”
