I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 7

Shi Nuan hailed a ride home after exiting Prosperous Dynasty. Because of her strained relationship with her parents, as well as for convenience, she chose to move somewhere closer to her workplace.

After she got out of the car, Shi Nuan stood at near her neighborhood, falling into a trance. Fu Xicheng was the one who had helped her when she was moving in. They had even promised to get engaged when the time was right, and then they would get married. She didn’t expect it all to become a cruel joke, nor did she predict that she would be portrayed as the homewrecker.

Shi Nuan felt as if all the events of the day before had been a dream, a bad one. But it was real; it had happened.

“You’re back, Nuan.” The moment Shi Nuan stepped out from the elevator, she saw Shi Wei standing outside her home, looking tense and anxious.

Shi Nuan furrowed her brows and turned to leave right there and then, but someone grabbed her arm. “Nuan.”

Shi Nuan stiffened. She wanted to fling Fu Xicheng’s hand away, but he held her arm tightly. “Where did you go? Wei and I have been waiting for you the whole night. Don’t you know that we’ll get worried about you?”

“Worried?” Shi Nuan wanted to cackle. She looked up into Fu Xicheng’s eyes. “Do you actually worry about me?”

“Really? You disgust me.” Shi Nuan looked at Shi Wei coldly. She used to think her sister was a weak woman. Since Shi Wei had saved her back then, Shi Nuan would give her everything she wanted, no matter what. However, that didn’t mean she was easy to mess with. She thought back on all the times Shi Wei had snatched away the things she treasured. “If you like secondhand items that much, Shi Wei, then take it. Collecting filthy objects isn’t my hobby.”

“Why you…” Fu Xicheng looked at Shi Nuan angrily. He raised his hand to slap her, but someone grabbed his arm mid-air.

Shi Wei shook her head pitifully as she held his arm with both hands. “Don’t do it, Xicheng. Nuan is still young, so I don’t blame her for being rude.”
