I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 184

Fu Jiayu laughed when she heard it. “Then how do you think I should speak to you?” Although Fu Jiayu was smiling, her gaze was exceptionally cold. She could see the fear in Song Zhenyan’s eyes for a moment. It was the same look of fear when Fu Chengyan confronted her just now.

Fu Chengyan looked at both of them and said, “Anan is already sleepy. Let’s go, Sister. I’ll send you home!” He turned and carried Cheng An out just as he finished.

Fu Jiayu curled her lips when she saw Song Zhenyan’s expression. She reveled in the satisfaction she had just gained. “Mother, please rest early. We’re leaving now!”

Fu Jiayu came with her driver as her husband Cheng Jing was working overseas. It was only after Fu Chengyan called her that she knew her mother was in town.

When Fu Jiayu walked out, she saw Fu Chengyan put Cheng An into his car. She quickly approached him and said, “Yan, you can give Anan to me. My driver will pick us up instead.”

Fu Chengyan nodded. “Sure, you should go home now. I’ll be off too.”

“Yan!” Fu Jiayu called out to Fu Chengyan and paused. After a short moment of silence, she let out a gentle frown. “Mother…she hasn’t been in Jiang City for a long time, so it’s normal for her not to understand us. You don’t have to take it to heart.”

“I should be the one saying that to you.” Fu Chengyan pursed his lips. “I know where to draw the line. You don’t have to worry. Cheng Jing is not home so please take good care of Cheng An.”

“Definitely!” Fu Jiayu nodded. “About last time…” Fu Jiayu was still worried. “Thank you!”

“You’re my sister. You don’t have to thank me. Please bear in mind that as long as I’m here, you will always have a place in the Fu clan.”

Fu Jiayu’s eyes sparkled. “I know.” This was Fu Chengyan’s assurance to her and he would definitely keep it once he made a promise. “I’ll leave with Anan now. See you!”

“See ya!”

When Fu Chengyan returned to Wutong Residence, the guests had already left. Shi Nuan was in the study doing random things while she waited for Fu Chengyan to return. She had to prepare the work that Lin Yu had given her so that she would not be caught off guard tomorrow. It was already ten at night when she was done.

She put down her pen and walked to the window to check when she heard a car outside. . Moonlight shone on Fu Chengyan’s car as it entered Wutong Residence. Shi Nuan just stood there and watched quietly.

The living room light was still on when Fu Chengyan entered the house but he didn’t see Shi Nuan. Just as he was removing his shoes, he could hear the pitter-patter of slippers coming down the stairs. Shi Nuan was wearing a pair of fur slippers. “Yan, you’re finally back!”

“Yes!” Shi Nuan approached him as he removed his shoes. She brought out a pair of slippers and he realized that they were a matching pair with hers.

Fu Chengyan lifted up his leg as Shi Nuan bent down and put the slippers next to his feet. She then saw Fu Chengyan stop. She looked up and asked quizzically, “What’s wrong?”

Fu Chengyan’s narrow eyes had a gleam in them. He bent down and picked up one side of his new slippers and waved them at Shi Nuan. “You have some childlike naiveness!”

Shi Nuan was stunned for a second before she burst out in laughter. She rubbed the back of her head embarrassingly. “Do you like it? I saw them while I was at the mall today. I think they look really good and cute so I bought them.”

Shi Nuan got up and pointed at her own slippers. She lifted one leg and put it near Fu Chengyan’s as she shook it in the air. “One side from each of ours makes a pair! I think they’re just so cute. What do you think?”

Shi Nuan shook her leg as she held onto Fu Chengyan’s arm for support. She almost lost her balance as she accidentally swung her leg too forcefully. But she managed to catch hold of Fu Chengyan’s sleeve just in time as she giggled. “Don’t you like it?”

When Fu Chengyan caught Shi Nuan’s gaze which was full of longing, he squinted his eyes a little before using his hand to scratch her nose gently. “I love it!”

“You should put them on then!” Shi Nuan insisted.

Fu Chengyan could only put on the furry slippers reluctantly given how excited Shi Nuan was. “Did you go to the mall alone?”

“No!” She wrapped her arms around his neck as she saw him being so obedient. She then tiptoed to kiss him on the lips as her hands hung onto his neck for support. She smiled and said, “I invited Li Heng and Su Shaoqing back for dinner today!”

“Oh?” Fu Chengyan narrowed his gleaming eyes. “Why did you invite them? Next time don’t let them come in if I’m not around. Even if they are my best friends!”

“Oh, you’re being too possessive!” Shi Nuan purposely made an awkward face and bit her fingers before letting out a sigh. “But I also invited Song Rongrong and Su Yian over too!”

“My dear girl, don’t sleep yet. I’ll carry you to the shower,” Fu Chengyan whispered into her ear softly. Shi Nuan no longer had any energy left to move. “No, I’m so sleepy!”

Fu Chengyan shook his head as he couldn’t help but smile. As he carried her into the shower, she closed her eyes and felt asleep.

He carried her out and placed her gently on the bed when he was done showering her. Then, he covered her properly with a blanket. After that, he changed into more comfortable clothes before heading to the study.

In the study, there were blueprint and data all over the desk Fu Chengyan casually picked them up to check. His eyes sparkled when he saw the graphs and numbers that came along with it. He curled his lips as he used a pencil to annotate the key points. Then, he did some calculation on a new piece of paper based on the data.

Late at night, Fu Chengyan gave Zhou Zheng a call. “Any update on the matter related to Su Su?”

“Mr. Fu, it’s almost done. Fu Xicheng had also send men to help probably because it relates to Shi Wei. Given how big the matter had become, Shi Wei might be worried that she had offended Su Su.”

Fu Chengyan tapped his fingers on the table and said, “Help me find out what else is there between Su Su and Shi Wei.”

Shi Wei wasn’t so concerned for Anna but really cared for Su Su. It only goes to show that she is closer to Su Su than to Anna. The next possibility was that Su Su might have some incriminating evidence against Shi Wei in her hand. If that was the case, then Su Su would definitely use them against Shi Wei after what she had been through.

“Yes, I’ll get on it right away!”

Fu Chengyan ended the call and continued working in the study for a while before retiring around midnight.

Shi Nuan was already in deep sleep as she was completely exhausted. The heater in the house had been turned on. Fu Chengyan sat by the bed for a while until he was warm enough before he settled in beside Shi Nuan. Shi Nuan seemed to sense his presence so she squirmed around held him by the waist.

Fu Chengyan couldn’t help but took a deep breath as he waited for her to finish adjusting herself. Only then did he put his arms around her and hugged her to sleep.

Shi Nuan slept soundly. Her lips curled slightly probably because she was dreaming and there was a sense of gentleness on her face. Fu Chengyan pushed away some of her hair that was blocking her flawless face. He curled his lips and leaned over to give her a kiss.
