I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 72

Fu Chengyan’s lips curled up when he saw the strange expression on Shi Nuan’s face. The man was pleased as he caressed her head, “Good.” Winning or losing mattered to him, but not in this aspect.

Fu Chengyan drove to the finishing line contentedly. He had lost in the race but that was within his expectations. But when Redhead saw Fu Chengyan’s car, he couldn’t help but sigh, “Bro, where are you from? You’re really good at racing.”

Redhead threw a cigarette to Fu Chengyan, who caught it casually. The man held the cigarette in his hand and played around with it without a word. Redhead arched his brows, thinking that Fu Chengyan had an attitude. The man seemed good-looking and polite but he could drive the hell of a car.

Fu Chengyan smirked, “I lost!”

“No, we lost!” Redhead wasn’t someone who couldn’t admit defeat. He knew Fu Chengyan was capable enough. The man’s driving skills were damningly impressive. Redhead had been a professional racer for a long time but this was the first time he had ever seen such an interesting opponent.

They were professional racers so it was normal for them to calculate every part of the race accurately. They also knew their abilities well. But this was the first time he had ever met someone like Fu Chengyan. The man overtook all of them with an SUV! That was really remarkable.

“The first one who reaches the finishing line wins, so you’ve won the race.” Fu Chengyan wasn’t bothered about winning or losing. He went and patted Redhead’s shoulder. “We’re almost home now, got to go!”

Fu Chengyan walked back and held Shi Nuan’s hand. Before they got into their car, Redhead called out, “Bro, do you want your prize?”

Fu Chengyan waved, “No need!”

“Hey, tell me your name! Let’s be friends!” Redhead wouldn’t give up. He hadn’t met a rival for some time so it was normal for him to pester Fu Chengyan. Fu Chengyan couldn’t be bothered about him. He led Shi Nuan into the car like a gentleman before entering the car himself. His car disappeared under the moonlight.

Redhead was dejected as he felt he won the race unfairly. “Shu Li, find out who that man is. He’s so cool!” It was rare for Redhead to find someone who he likes and he wouldn’t give up that easily.

Shu Li was the one that Redhead cut off earlier. He stared at the Bentley speeding away under the moonlight as his gaze darkened. “No need. I think I know who he is.”

“What?” Redhead was startled. “You know who he is?”

Shu Li shook his head and replied. “Not personally. But there aren’t many people in Jiang City who own cool number plates like him.” It suddenly dawned upon Redhead. “Holy shit! Yes, his plate number was six zeros, right?” He pondered for a while before asking, “Is it him?”

The other racers paused after hearing Shu Li’s words. “Damn it! Are we that lucky today? Mr. Fu?”

They met each other’s gazes before looking at the prize in Redhead’s hands. “Boss, you won the prize from Mr. Fu! You can boast about this for some time!”

“Bullshit!” The name of the person they addressed as boss was Li Jingyu. He seemed upset as he asked, “Are you blind? Isn’t it obvious that he won?” If Fu Chengyan didn’t stop suddenly at the last part of the race, he wouldn’t have won first place.

Back then, they declared that Fu Chengyan will be the winner if he overtook any of them. In the end, it was proven that the man needn’t continue the race as he was already a winner. “Let’s go. Our skills are nothing compared to him, so don’t embarrass ourselves. We’ll start practicing tomorrow!”

The others started yelping in disbelief but Shu Li was the only one who smiled upon hearing Li Jingyu’s words. This was the first time he had ever seen Li Jingyu being this serious.

In the meantime, Shi Nuan, who had left with Fu Chengyan, was still thinking about the kiss.

Shi Nuan didn’t know what came over her when she kissed him. When she finally regained her senses, Fu Chengyan took it seriously and wouldn’t let her go.

The woman peeked cautiously at Fu Chengyan. She thought he wouldn’t notice what she was doing. Staring at Fu Chengyan’s side profile, she swallowed hard and licked her dry lips.

Fu Chengyan’s gaze met Shi Nuan like a prey finding its target. Her heart skipped a beat as she turned away. Her heart was thumping hard as she said in a panicky voice, “Y-You could be the winner. He recognized you as the winner too!” Shi Nuan felt guilty. “Why didn’t you take the prize?”

Fu Chengyan raised his brows as a smile lit up his face. “You want the prize?”

Shi Nuan was about to say no but she nodded instead. “Yes. You can drive better than them but why did you refuse the prize?”

“Since you want the prize that much, let’s go back for it now?” Fu Chengyan replied. He was going to make a U-turn when Shi Nuan hurriedly grabbed his arm to stop him. The woman bit her lips, “I was just saying. You don’t have to go back for the prize. Plus, they must’ve left by now.”

When Shi Nuan realized she was clutching Fu Chengyan’s arm, she lowered her gaze and smiled awkwardly. We seem like a couple now.

“Find out what happened between Shi Nuan and the Shi family!” He felt that this matter was rather strange. Shi Nuan was part of the Shi family. But compared to Shi Wei, she didn’t seem to be treated like one. “Don’t tell Shi Nuan about this for now.”

“Yes!” Zhou Zheng nodded. He wasn’t a fool and Fu Chengyan’s feelings for Shi Nuan was obvious to him. Even if it wasn’t love, he treated Shi Nuan differently. “Mr. Ye, I’m thinking of going to Mr. Li’s assistant. Can you help me inform Mr. Li?”

“Go to him yourself.” Fu Chengyan hung up on him. At this moment, someone knocked on the door to his study and he called out, “Come in!”

Shi Nuan mustered her courage to knock on the door. When the door was opened, she saw the phone in Fu Chengyan’s hand. It seemed like the man had just finished talking on the phone. She bit her lips and asked, “Am I disturbing you?”

Fu Chengyan smiled and stretched his hand out. “Come here!”

Shi Nuan heaved a sigh of relief as she went over to Fu Chengyan’s table. She glanced at the stuff on his table. “It’s late, won’t you rest?”

Fu Chengyan arched his brows as his eyes gazed at Shi Nuan’s face heatedly before moving to her body.

His gaze sent goosebumps throughout Shi Nuan’s body. She followed his gaze and lowered her head before gasping out loud. The woman hurriedly yanked her collar up. “What are you staring at?” She expressed her dissatisfaction and shot Fu Chengyan a look. “Stop staring!”

Fu Chengyan was amused. “Darling, you’re dressed sexily in the middle of the night. Aren’t you here to seduce me?” He chuckled, “I thought you were asking me to sleep with you?”

The woman was speechless. What he said made sense, causing her to almost believe him.

Shi Nuan frowned slightly. “You… I’m here to ask you…”

“Mm?” Fu Chengyan raised his brows. “What?”

“You know, about the video Mr. Zhou sent over today. About me. You were there too, so you know that wasn’t true!” A blush crept up Shi Nuan’s face. She felt upset when she recalled what happened that day. “I don’t know why he did that and what my parents were thinking of. Fu Chengyan, you will help me, right?”
