I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 159

The whole day was spent in a busy and fulfilling manner. Shi Nuan felt that Shengyuan’s working environment was very comfortable. No wonder it was one of the best companies in Jiang City. In comparison, Fucheng was nothing.

Shi Nuan sorted out the information Lin Yu passed to her and was about to get off work when she received a call from Fu Chengyan, “Are you getting off work now?”

Shi Nuan who was packing her things right at that moment, nodded as she answered, “Yeah.”

“See you at the parking lot!” Fu Chengyan had also gathered his things, “Let’s go for dinner and then to the movies!”

“Okay!” Shi Nuan grinned from ear to ear, “Then I’ll wait for you there!” Shi Nuan kept her phone after they were done speaking. Coincidently, Yuan Jia walked past and had heard the way Shi Nuan’s voice changed when she spoke on the phone, as if she was in a jolly mood. She leaned over again and asked, “Your boyfriend?”

Shi Nuan retrieved her smile and narrowed her eyes slightly, “My friend.”

Yuan Jia twitched her lips and said, “C’mon, Shi Nuan. You can’t be like this. We’re all colleagues, and I’m just showing concern for a fellow colleague. You don’t need to be like this!”

“Yuan Jia, you said it yourself. We’re just colleagues, and this is my personal affair. I don’t think I’m obligated to inform the whole world about it!” Shi Nuan was really quite irritated. She didn’t think that Yuan Jia would be so difficult and unwilling to back down.

She came to Shengyuan just to work and didn’t want to form some kind of clique. However, Yuan Jia seemed to have misunderstood her and kept talking to her in a bizarre manner. “I have some matter to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first.”

“Shi Nuan.” Yuan Jia sounded a little irked, “We’re all colleagues. You’re going overboard by acting this way!” Yuan Jia’s voice was quite loud, and everyone happened to be getting off work now. Several employees who were just about to leave after packing their things heard the exchange between Yuan Jia and Shi Nuan, and looked over curiously.

“This is only your first day, so I just wanted to get to know you more. Asking you about your relationship with Mr. Zhou isn’t a big deal, so you don’t need to be so secretive!” Yuan Jia raised her voice and everyone looked at Shi Nuan with suspicious gazes.

The way Yuan Jia said it made it sound like Shi Nuan successfully entered Shengyuan with the help of Mr. Zhou. But who exactly was Mr. Zhou? Of course, he was Fu Chengyan’s most capable assistant. Apart from the god-like Fu Chengyan, Zhou Zheng was also very well-known in the company.

Now that they knew that Shi Nuan had a close relationship with Zhou Zheng, they all began to see her in a different light.

Shi Nuan frowned slightly, “I was never obligated to tell you what kind of relationship Mr. Zhou and I have. Yes, we are colleagues, but it doesn’t mean that I have to share my personal affairs with you. I thought that you’d be happy to discuss work-related matters with me instead.”

Shi Nuan’s voice was slightly frosty, and her demeanor wasn’t as relaxed anymore, “My apologies, but I have things to do, so I won’t be discussing my personal affairs with you anymore.”

Shi Nuan walked away immediately just as Yuan Jia made a noise of discontent, obviously disdained by Shi Nuan’s arrogance.

When everyone saw that the main characters were gone, naturally, they didn’t stay longer than necessary, leaving one after another. The corners of Yuan Jia’s lips tugged upwards into a gleeful smirk. She turned around had the shock of her life when she came face-to-face with Lin Yu. It was uncertain how long he’d been standing behind her.

Lin Yu’s eyes were filled with displeasure. It was obvious that he had heard the conversation between Yuan Jia and Shi Nuan earlier.

Yuan Jia’s face paled slightly, “D-Director Lin!”

“The company did not hire you to go around digging into other people’s business. If you don’t want to work, there are others who would do. Shengyuan doesn’t just allow anyone in.” Lin Yu tucked one hand into his pocket, then pursed his lips, not looking very pleased, “If I hear you talking about all these during working hours again, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Yuan Jia was too scared out of her wits to speak at all. Lin Yu only made a noise at the back of his throat, before whizzing past Yuan Jia.

Shi Nuan went downstairs and directly to the parking lot. When she saw Fu Chengyan already waiting there, she quickened her steps, “Did you wait long?”

“Nope!” Fu Chengyan reached out and naturally took Shi Nuan’s bag from her hand, “Didn’t you say you were going to come down first?”

“There was a minor holdup. Let’s go now!”

Fu Chengyan opened the car door for Shi Nuan. After she slid into her seat, she suddenly remembered to ask, “We’re going out for dinner today? What are we eating?”

“Zhou Zheng said that Shengjing opened a new hotpot restaurant. Do you feel like having that today?” Fu Chengyan said just before he closed his side of the door. Just then, there was a call from Zhou Zheng, “Mr. Fu, I’ve reserved a table for you. Also, just now when I passed by the project management department, I saw someone finding fault with Mrs. Fu.”

Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes a fraction, “Mm, got it.”

After he hung up the call, he glanced towards Shi Nuan. She smiled when she saw him staring, “What are you looking at?”

“So, hotpot?” When Fu Chengyan saw that Shi Nuan’s seat belt wasn’t buckled yet, and he leaned over to buckle her up. Shi Nuan couldn’t help a blush from creeping up her cheeks as she looked at the back of Fu Chengyan’s head while he buckled her seatbelt. Although the two of them were already married for so long and had already been intimate with each other, Shi Nuan would still occasionally feel touched by Fu Chengyan’s little actions.

“Okay, let’s go for some hotpot then. The weather is getting cold and it’s good to eat something warm.” Shi Nuan blinked, “Have you bought the movie tickets then?”

“Yes!” Fu Chengyan leaned away from Shi Nuan, “Did you have trouble at the company today?”

Shi Nuan’s gaze flickered and made a small sound of surprise. Then, she arched her lips into a smile, “You’re really well-informed! But it was just a trivial matter and didn’t get in the way of my job.”

“Really?” Fu Chengyan’s brows lifted, “If you encounter something that can’t be solved, you can come directly to me.”

“That’s really unnecessary. It was just a small matter. If I need you to do everything for me, then wouldn’t I become a useless person? You have to trust me. I can handle matters like this on my own!” Shi Nuan waved her hand and signaled that Fu Chengyan shouldn’t intervene, “I’m so hungry, Yan!”

“Fine.” Fu Chengyan smiled helplessly, “We’ll be there soon. Zhou Zheng has already booked us a table.”

The two of them had a big feast at the hotpot restaurant, but in truth, Shi Nuan was the one who was eating most of it. She had always craved for this during her schooling days and had zero resistance when it came to an authentic Szechuan spicy hot pot. Fu Chengyan didn’t eat much. Most of his time was spent cooking the meat for Shi Nuan and more than half of the it went into Shi Nuan’s belly.

Shi Nuan was a little embarrassed in the end and kept stuffing Fu Chengyan’s mouth with food, which he readily accepted.

The movie theater was just right above the hotpot restaurant. When the both of them finished eating, their movie was about to start as well. Fu Chengyan was experienced after what happened before, so he quickly took out their tickets and led Shi Nuan into the cinema.

As it was a movie at night, the cinema was basically packed to the max.

Fu Chengyan held Shi Nuan’s hand and weaved through the crowd towards the best seats in the cinema. Their looks were just too outstanding that many of the movie-goers couldn’t help but keep their gazes on Fu Chengyan and Shi Nuan all throughout the way. There were even a few women whispering about Fu Chengyan, wondering whether he was some kind of celebrity.

Just as Shi Nuan sat down, she heard two young girls pointing at Fu Chengyan and discussing among themselves without any qualms. Shi Nuan let out a giggle. Fu Chengyan sat down and gave her a sidelong glance, then passed the box of popcorn in his hand to Shi Nuan, “Eat!”

Shi Nuan grumbled under her breath, “I just ate, and the movie hasn’t even started yet. What do you mean ‘eat’?!” Shi Nuan took the box and placed it in the holder next to her, then paused in thought, “Yan, they’re saying that you’re a celebrity. And by the way, what movie are we even watching today?”

Although Shi Nuan was already inside, she didn’t look at the tickets earlier, so of course she wouldn’t know what movie they were watching today.

Fu Chengyan took out the tickets and gave them to Shi Nuan, “It was Zhou Zheng’s recommendation. He said that you girls like watching these kind of movies.”

Shi Nuan lowered her gaze to the tickets as he was speaking. It turned out to be a movie favored by young girls. No wonder the whole theater was almost filled with girls. Shi Nuan laughed softly, “Not all girls would like it, but we’ll see!”

She had long passed the age of bittersweet adolescence, so watching a movie like this to reminisce her younger days seemed a little too far-fetched.

The whole movie was set in the teenage years with all kinds of drama during schooling days. It was obviously the most carefree moment in life, and one couldn’t help but feel sentimental. Shi Nuan looked like she was about to fall asleep halfway through the movie. The popcorn in her hand tipped sideways together with her body and almost fell to the ground, but Fu Chengyan had good reflexes. He swiftly braced Shi Nuan’s body and also caught the box of popcorn at the same time.

Several gasps could be heard around them. However, they weren’t captivated by the movie plot; instead, their reactions were because of Shi Nuan and Fu Chengyan.

Because Fu Chengyan’s movements were too quick, he scooped Shi Nuan up.

Shi Nuan fell into Fu Chengyan’s arms, but she wasn’t completely asleep. She opened her unfocused eyes and asked, “Is the movie over?”

Fu Chengyan’s lips lifted slightly and he caressed Shi Nuan’s cheek with his palm, “Just sleep if you’re tired!” He used his other hand to act as a pillow for Shi Nuan, who closed her eyes once again.

The two girls beside Shi Nuan turned their head and stared wide-eyed at Shi Nuan and Fu Chengyan, or to be more precise, at Fu Chengyan. “That man is so handsome! And he treats his girlfriend so well!”

Fu Chengyan squinted slightly and made a small gesture with his hand before passing the box of popcorn to the two girls, “She doesn’t want the popcorn. You both can have it!”

The two girls thanked him in excitement, but when they saw the signal in Fu Chengyan’s eyes, they immediately fell silent again. Fu Chengyan nodded with a smile, then lifted Shi Nuan’s body slightly to find a more comfortable position for her to sleep better on his hand.

When the movie was about to end, Fu Chengyan carried Shi Nuan and zigzagged through the seats to head out.

Shi Nuan peeled open her eyes lazily, but when she realized that Fu Chengyan was carrying her, her face flushed a little, “The movie is over?”

“Not yet, but it’ll soon be!” Fu Chengyan said, “All awake now?”

Shi Nuan nodded vigorously, “Just put me down. I’ll walk on my own!”

Fu Chengyan really did put Shi Nuan down, but in the next second, he walked in front of her and crouched down. “May, get up!”

Shi Nuan blinked in dubiety, thinking she had heard it wrong as she looked around in embarrassment. They hadn’t left the cinema yet and were actually standing on the aisle next to the seats. At that time, more heads started to turn towards them. Shi Nuan grew more embarrassed and whispered harshly, “You don’t have to do this!”

“Get up, May!” Fu Chengyan turned his head to look at Shi Nuan, “Lie on me and sleep for a while longer!”
