I Want a Lifetime with You
Chapter 130

Anna stared at all the information shown by An Chenyu in disbelief. "No. This can't be. Shi Wei is my best fr..." Before she even finished, she saw a picture of Shi Wei talking to those men. Anna looked up. "Brother, where did you get this? Shi Wei..."

Anna and Shi Wei had been close friends for many years. To her, Shi Wei was in the same boat as she was. To her, Shi Nuan treated Shi Wei poorly and would always harm her from the shadows. Anna always felt Shi Wei was the type who would rather endure all her suffering to avoid causing trouble.

But Anna was much more quick-tempered. On top of that, she always loved the heroes she came across in stories since her childhood, and thought of herself as a messenger of justice. Hence, she completely did not expect the way Shi Wei was being described in what she was reading now.

An Chenyu was heart-broken to see his own sister looking like this. "I always thought you're quick-tempered and do whatever you please because mom and dad spoiled you like a princess, but you're not terrible by nature. You said you've been holding a grudge against Shi Nuan, but think about it: what has Shi Nuan ever done do you? And what have you just done to her?"

"I..." Anna couldn't accept the truth.

"Think carefully. But I'm warning you: don't mingle with Shi Wei and Su Su anymore. I'm sure what you're reading now has made you aware what kind of people they are! Also, don't mess with Shi Nuan from now on. You should understand by now why Fu Chengyan did this to you."

Anna was suddenly dumbstruck. "Are you saying Shi Nuan managed to hook up with Fu Chengyan?"

"Shut up!" An Chenyu said with a glare. "I don't care how reckless you used to be, but from now on, do NOT mess with Shi Nuan. She's not as easy of a target as you think. As for what relationship she has with Fu Chengyan, that's not for you or me to judge, unless you want An Group to crumble along with you!"

As he said all this, An Lin and Mrs. An were dead silent.

After being on the right track for the past few years, An Lin had left An Group in An Chenyu's hands. Thankfully, An Chenyu was a capable man. An Group might not have been able to compete against all those large companies, but it had indeed moved up a notch under An Chenyu's leadership.

But with this incident, An Group was instantly brought back to its beginnings. It wasn't going to be easy to rise again.

Knowing Anna was the cause of all this, An Lin grounded her for the next few days. As for the scars on her body, Anna had to take it as a lesson and would only be sent abroad for cosmetic surgery after she had reflected on her own actions.

Anna was completely devastated upon learning how she had been used by Shi Wei.

The woman always had a fiery personality and thought she could do no wrong. She poured her heart for Shi Wei, but she never expected for herself to be treated this way.

An Chenyu was extremely pained to see Anna in such a state, but there was nothing he could do. On the other hand, An Lin felt this incident could possibly change Anna's attitude.

It was now nighttime and Shi Nuan happened to be reading. After being discharged from the hospital, Fu Chengyan forbade her from doing any hard labor. The 'hard labor' he spoke of included washing the dishes. Shi Nuan now felt like she was completely useless.

While Fu Chengyan was working in the study room, Shi Nuan received a phone call from Shi Yunsheng, who informed her that Shi Wei and Fu Xicheng's wedding was to be held three days later. Although Shi Nuan was now married to Fu Chengyan, no one knew about this. Moreover, Shi Yunsheng was still worried that Shi Wei's marriage to Fu Xicheng would make Shi Nuan upset.

Shi Nuan felt her grandfather was overthinking. To her, Shi Wei and Fu Xicheng were merely regular people; as long as they didn't cause her any trouble, she wouldn't even think about them.

But Shi Yunsheng was still an elder to her, and she couldn't stand the thought of him worrying about her.

After hanging up, Shi Nuan pondered for a moment. She then brewed some ginger tea and headed upstairs to the study room.

Fu Chengyan was just arranging his documents, but immediately paused and turned towards the door upon hearing light footsteps approaching.

Shi Nuan was surprised that Fu Chengyan could hear her coming despite being so careful. "How is your hearing so good?"

Fu Chengyan smirked and waved towards Shi Nuan, asking her to come over. "Why haven't you slept?"

"I can't sleep!" Shi Nuan replied as she handed Fu Chengyan his tea. The man raised an eyebrow. "Why'd you make me ginger tea? It's not like I have a cold." Still, he drank it without any resistance. Shi Nuan watched with a smile as she saw Fu Chengyan obediently finishing the entire cup. "Winter's almost here, so it gets pretty cold at night. You work till so late at night too."

Saying that, Shi Nuan casually walked behind Fu Chengyan, placed her slender fingers on his forehead area and began to massage it lightly. "Are you not done yet?"

"Almost. Just a bit left!" Fu Chengyan answered while really enjoying this moment. He kept his work, leaned back on the leather couch and let Shi Nuan do as she pleased.

Shi Nuan's fingers were rather skillful. It didn't take long for Fu Chengyan to feel relaxed. Seeing the weariness on Fu Chengyan's face, Shi Nuan was slightly worried. "Why can't you finish your work by the end of the day instead of dragging it on until night?"

But when she thought about it, Fu Chengyan was the CEO of Shengyuan. He had to be aware of every task that was being carried out, no matter big or small. How could he not be busy?

Moreover, Shi Nuan knew that aside from Shengyuan Group, Fu Chengyan still had to take care of matters relating to Xinhuang, House of Chigu and even Prosperous Dynasty. "Yan, aren't you tired having to take care of so many things?"

Fu Chengyan curled his lips. "I'm OK!" He then held Shi Nuan's hand and pulled her into an embrace. "Are you worried about me, May?"

Shi Nuan couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Not at all," she said. As Fu Chengyan entangled her hand with his, Shi Nuan lowered her head and lifted his fingers. "Why should I be worried if you don't even bother to look after yourself!"

"Who says I don't look after myself?" Fu Chengyan responded as his gaze darkened slightly. "I care very much about my own body." He then held onto Shi Nuan's hand. "You're here in the study room so late a night. Is there something you want to tell me?"

Shi Nuan arched her brows. "I actually would've forgotten if you hadn't asked. I've brought you to meet my maternal grandpa, but now I'm wondering if I should take you to meet my paternal grandpa." She then bit her lip and thought for a moment. "I just got a call from the old man saying that Shi Wei's and Fu Xicheng's wedding will be held in two days. He's worried that I'd be upset, but why would I be?"

As Shi Nuan saw Fu Chengyan's face darken slightly at her words, she wrapped her arms around Fu Chengyan and pressed her forehead against his neck. "Are you jealous?" she asked in amusement. "What's that?" Fu Chengyan smirked, pulling Shi Nuan away and placing his forehead against hers. His eyes had long regained their usual clear gaze. "Have you been jealous before, May?" Shi Nuan raised an eyebrow and put on a big smile. "No, but I wouldn't mind if you made me jealous," she laughed softly and reached out to pinch Fu Chengyan's face. "If you dare!"

Fu Chengyan was entertained by how childish Shi Nuan was being. He looked down to see Shi Nuan pinching his face and didn't stop her at all. "In that case, I really wonder if I should make you jealous!" "You dare!?" Shi Nuan exclaimed and tightened her pinch on his face. "I dare you!"

Fu Chengyan laughed and removed Shi Nuan's hands from his face. "Continue!"

Shi Nuan became serious again. "I was thinking that granddad is worried because he hasn't met you or seen how we're doing. He doesn't have to worry about me at all, but he's still an elder. We got married without a word, so I want to take you to meet him."

Fu Chengyan also became solemn and pondered for a moment. It wasn't particularly bright inside the study room. It was now deep into the night; the sounds of cicadas could be heard and the smell of fall was in the air. It was cold outside, but the house was full of warmth.

A gentle light shone in Fu Chengyan's eyes as he held Shi Nuan by the hand. "It's about time I met him." He understood Shi Nuan's intentions. She wanted to let Shi Yunsheng know that she was doing well, and that Shi Wei's actions couldn't impact her in any way.

His kind wife's thoughts were always this- simple and pure.

Fu Chengyan's gaze deepened as he held Shi Nuan's face. "I'll leave the arrangements to you. I'm always available!" he said with intimacy in his eyes.

Shi Nuan was overjoyed. Giving Fu Chengyan a peck on the lips, she said, "You're the best."

Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes as his gaze became even deeper. The moment Shi Nuan left his lips, she felt an air of passion and wildness coming from Fu Chengyan. He was different from usual.

Shi Nuan's eyes widened. Having been together with Fu Chengyan for so long, she knew what that gaze of his meant. Feeling her chest tighten, she gripped onto Fu Chengyan's shoulders and gulped. "Yan, umm-"

Before Shi Nuan could even finish, Fu Chengyan pressed his lips against hers.

He was never an honorable man. He treaded carefully before having her, but now that she was his wife, he could no longer hide his desire for her.

"You really are a vixen, May."
