I Want a Lifetime with You
Chapter 194
“Yan!”
“Enough, mother. I don’t have time to talk about this. It’s late, and I haven’t had dinner yet!” Fu Chengyan hung up without hesitation. When the man realized Shi Nuan was gripping his hand, he raised his brows and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”
Shi Nuan shook her head. “You don’t get along with your mother?” He was harsh to his mother, and they seem to be at odds. She felt bad for him. “Is there a misunderstanding?”
“No.” Fu Chengyan patted her head and grinned. “Don’t think too much. Isn’t dinner ready? Let’s go.”
It was apparent Fu Chengyan didn’t want to talk about this, so Shi Nuan had no choice but to nod. “Let’s go. I’ll get you some rice.”
“Okay!” Fu Chengyan stared at Shi Nuan’s back as his gaze darkened.
Shi Nuan sensed Fu Chengyan was in a foul mood today because of his mother, Song Zhenyan’s phone call. She had no idea what happened between Fu Chengyan, his mother and the Fu family, but it seemed to be something terrible.
Shi Nuan recalled her own family, suddenly realizing they were in the same shoes.
At night, Fu Chengyan made love to her tirelessly. Shi Nuan was already exhausted, but the man’s desire wasn’t satiated yet. Right then, she realized how dreadful it was when a man got angry. Her husband wasn’t mad at her, but she was the one who had to bear the consequences.
The next morning, Shi Nuan woke up with an aching body. Her entire body was falling apart, but the culprit was smiling at her as he leaned on the door. “You’re up this late? We’re going to be late!”
Shi Nuan bit her lips. “You should sleep in the guest room tonight. I mean it!”
Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes and walked over, his eyes crinkling up in amusement. The man propped one hand on the bed and wrapped his other hand around Shi Nuan. His lips brushed gently on Shi Nuan’s forehead while he chuckled. “Good girl, go wash up now. Breakfast is ready.”
Shi Nuan shoved him away and waved her fists at him. She growled at him menacingly, “Didn’t you hear me? I said, you’re going to sleep in the guest room tonight! I mean it. It isn’t a joke!”
