I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 433

Shi Nuan finally opened her eyes. She gargled. When she was about to take her toothbrush, Fu Chengyan snatched it and stuffed it inside her mouth. “Open your mouth.” Then, he brushed Shi Nuan’s teeth.

A minty feeling spread through her mouth, and Shi Nuan finally felt refreshed. She blinked a few times and took over the toothbrush in his hand. “I’ll do it myself. Yan, you brush your teeth too!”

“Okay.”

Swinging her legs, Shi Nuan brushed her teeth as she glanced sideways at Fu Chengyan.

The window in the bathroom was slightly open. The cool breeze from outside made its way into the bathroom. Early mornings were still quite breezy even though it was already early summer.

Shi Nuan blinked. Fu Chengyan passed her a cup of water to gargle. Shi Nuan quickly rinsed her mouth and jumped off from the sink area. Fu Chengyan responded briskly and caught her hands. “Be careful!”

“Yan, I’m not that weak.” Shi Nuan took the towel and washed her face. After she was done, she noticed that Fu Chengyan was shaving. She reached out to poke his face. “Can I help you?”

“Stop messing around and go get changed. We’re going to be late!” Fu Chengyan reached out to pat her head and brushed his fingers against her cheeks.

Shi Nuan wanted to protest but she knew they were indeed running late. Afraid that Fu Chengyan might use this as an excuse to not bring her to the office, she hurriedly went to change her clothes.

The two of them held hands as they went downstairs. Fu Zhengyun was just back from his Tai Chi session in the garden. Curious to see Shi Nuan getting up so early, he asked, “Why did you wake up so early? Where are you going?”

Fu Zhengyun’s tone was icy. “You should rest well at home if you’re pregnant. Do you feel like the number of servants at home is not enough to cater to your needs?”

“Grandpa!” Shi Nuan was in a good mood. She did not wish to quarrel with Fu Zhengyun early in the morning. “Isn’t it good that I wake up earlier? The doctor mentioned that I have to wake up early to exercise. This is going to better for the baby. Isn’t that right, Yan?” Shi Nuan caressed her belly and looked at Fu Chengyan.

Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes and smiled. “Yes!” Then, he glanced at Fu Zhengyun. “I’m going to take May out for a walk today!”

“What is wrong with staying at home? What is she not satisfied with? I will ask someone to redo it! Don’t you know that her pregnancy is not stable yet? You should be more careful!”

Fu Chengyan’s gaze sank. “I will take good care of her.”

“How would you take good care of her? Do you have Aunt Ning’s experience? Are you better than the experienced servants at home? Aren’t you heading to the office? How will you be able to accompany her, then?” Fu Zhengyun came up with a myriad of reasons to not let Shi Nuan get out of the house. “You’re not allowed outside!”

“I said I would take good care of May.” Fu Chengyan did not take heed of his grandfather’s protests. He held Shi Nuan’s hand and took her to the dining room.

The cook was already serving their breakfast. It was a nutritious meal curated according to Shi Nuan’s condition and the doctor’s advice. Shi Nuan looked at her meal, and stole a glance at Fu Chengyan’s. She gulped as she edged close to his ears. “Your grandpa seems really mad. What do we do?”

“Are you only starting to get scared now?” Fu Chengyan chuckled softly. “It’s alright, I’m the one taking you out for a walk. Eat!”

“Okay.” Shi Nuan lowered her head and ate her food.

Fu Zhengyun was mad at his grandson ignoring his orders, even so, when he thought about how brazen his grandson had become after having a family. He has never paid much respect to me anyway.

However, it was because Fu Chengyan did not spend much time at the Fu Residence. Out of sight, out of mind. Having said that, they were now staying under the same roof. Fu Zhengyun sulked further when he thought about how his grandson was disregarding him.

He wanted to reprimand the ignorant brat. Then, he thought about how Shi Nuan could not suffer even a little now that she was pregnant, he suppressed his boiling rage.

Fu Zhengyun snorted, and then turned around to head upstairs.

The butler trailed behind Fu Zhengyun. He cast a look at Fu Zhengyun, then at Fu Chengyan and Shi Nuan, and his lips curled into a slight smile.

Maybe Old Master hasn’t even realized that he has warmed up to Shi Nuan. Judging from the way he behaves, he’s already acknowledging her.

After Fu Chengyan and Shi Nuan were done with their breakfast, the two of them headed to the office. Since Shi Nuan was pregnant, it was impossible for Fu Chengyan to let her work. Hence, he was just bringing her along to reassure himself.

Shi Nuan wanted to head straight to the Project Management Department after getting off the car. However, Fu Chengyan held her hand and took her to the twenty-seventh floor instead. Fu Chengyan was very adamant about his decision, and Shi Nuan could only play along. Afraid that he might not want to bring her out next time, she meekly followed him to the twenty-seventh floor.

Fu Chengyan was late. To everyone’s surprise, he was late for the very first time and was even more than 30 minutes late.

It was the usual morning meeting at Shengyuan. However, they could not proceed since the biggest boss had yet to arrive.

Zhou Zheng had called Fu Chengyan numerous times but he did not pick up a single one of them.

When the elevator door sprung open, Zhou Zheng rushed toward it. He saw Fu Chengyan holding Shi Nuan’s hand as they headed out of the lift. Fu Chengyan walked in front of Shi Nuan as he said something to her. Her head drooped low as she muttered, “Okay.”

“Mr. Fu!” Zhou Zheng almost went blind from the PDA. However, he still reminded his boss, “Mr. Fu, there’s a meeting this morning…” You’re late.

The two of them had not met for some time since Shi Nuan had been swamped lately, especially after knowing that she was pregnant. Shi Nuan texted her: Are you still in contact with Lin Yu?

Su Yian did not reply to her even after some time.

Shi Nuan then thought she had been imposing, and apologized to Su Yian immediately. Su Yian then replied: It’s okay. I’m going to get busy then.

Shi Nuan leaned against the sofa. She bit her lip. Then, she took out her phone and decided to clarify things with Su Yian. However, the moment she was about to type her message, she had no idea how to ask Su Yian. Su Yian and Lin Yu have made themselves pretty clear. Am I being a busybody here?

When Shi Nuan was deep in her thoughts, a new message popped up on WeChat.

She looked quizzically at the ID. She was certain that she added the contact. However, she could not seem to recall who the person was.

There were only a few words in the text. Are you available? I’m taking tomorrow’s flight back. Let’s meet up!

Shi Nuan bit her lip. She still had no idea who sent the text. She couldn’t recall which friends had to leave either. However, judging from the tone of the text, the person should have been someone quite close to her.

Shi Nuan clicked on the person’s profile, and realized that there was… nothing.

Curious, she sent a text: You are…?

The person replied after some time: Shen Shixiu!

Shi Nuan was stumped. Shen Shixiu? When has he ever used WeChat? Most importantly, when did he add me as his friend? Why can’t I recall adding him as my friend?

Even though she was plagued by a number of questions, it did not seem polite for her to question him directly. Err, I’d better not make things awkward for Shen Shixiu.

Shi Nuan then replied: You’re going back? Are you going back to the capital? So you’re done with things here?

Shen Shixiu saw her questions. Shaking his head, he replied: Yes!

Shi Nuan bit her lip and replied: Then… Is Shen Qianan going back too?
