I Want a Lifetime with You

Shi Nuan kept her attention on Pei Jingxiu and extended her hand for a handshake.

Pei Jingxiu gently nodded and greeted her with a very quick but polite handshake. “I heard Chengyan had gotten married but just couldn’t find the right time to pay you all a visit. Hope you understand.”

“Don’t worry about it.” Shi Nuan drew her hand back. Suddenly, she remembered what Fu Chengyan did to her earlier, and she gave him a murderous stare and pinched him back.

Fu Chengyan, who gave you the permission to pinch me?

Shi Nuan’s childish act was obvious, and it drew Pei Jingxiu’s and Su Shaoqing’s attention. Their eyebrows waggled. While Su Shaoqing had gotten used to their interaction, Pei Jingxiu was surprised how Fu Chengyan tolerated her behavior.

Pei Jingxiu pondered and looked at Shi Nuan for a moment before talking to the rest, “Come on, let’s go.”

“A few days ago, I’ve asked people to tidy up your villa. Since it’s has been vacant for quite some time, I’m not sure if you’ll feel comfortable staying in it.”

“No worries. It’s just a temporary place for me to stay, and I won’t be here for long.” Pei Jingxiu said while walking in front with Fu Chengyan by his side.

As a medical doctor, Su Shaoqing had no interest in their business discussion, so he retreated to the back and walked behind them.

Shi Nuan, too, was alert enough to leave the two men alone. She walked beside Su Shaoqing and asked, “Is Jingxiu a powerful person? The three of them seem to respect him a lot.”

Su Shaoqing’s forehead puckered for a bit, but he eventually responded with a smile, “Not as powerful as Chengyan, I guess? But if they were to engage in a fight, even two Chengyan’s’ would be no match for Jingxiu.”

“Really?” Shi Nuan was shocked to hear that. She had always thought Fu Chengyan was already a powerful man though she had never seen him fight. During their first encounter, Fu Chengyan rescued her from the balcony where she was drugged, and he managed to carry her single-handedly. It was at that time Shi Nuan thought he was a powerful man with great strength.

Now Su Shaoqing told Shi Nuan, even two Fu Chengyan’s’ might not defeat Pei Jingxiu? How is it possible?

“Let me put it this way. Jingxiu will have no problem defeating Chengyan and Li Heng if he engages in a fight with the two at the same time. That’s how powerful he is. If you’re interested in his background, try asking your husband. He knows him more than I do!”

Su Shaoqing was constantly in awe of Pei Jingxiu when he was talking about this man. “Jingxiu has even saved my life once!”
