I Want a Lifetime with You
Chapter 140

Anna eavesdropped on Shi Wei and Jiang Yu's conversation for a while, and got to know Shi Wei a little more. No matter what, the old Anna would have never expected Shi Wei to be such a person. Right now the mere thought of how she had teamed up with Shi Wei to harm Shi Nuan made her feel angry.

Even though she has always been bossy and arrogant, she had never harbored ill intentions against other people, let alone do cruel actions like releasing a venomous snake. In the past, her impression of Shi Nuan was exactly how Shi Wei made her out to be. However, now that she heard the conversation between Shi Wei and Jiang Yu, Anna could not help but feel a shudder within her.

She was born and bred in a happy and healthy family where her parents and brother had doted on her, and she had grown up with no worries. It was very difficult for her to imagine how Shi Nuan could be set up this way by her own mother and sister. Not only was her boyfriend snatched away, they had even sent Shi Nuan to Yun Shen.

An Chenyu had just told Anna about this last night, after he completed a thorough background check on Shi Wei.

Anna was still a little skeptical, but based on what she heard just now, her brother was right.

"All right, Wei, I don't think it is appropriate for me to stay in here for so long. I should be out there greeting our guests. Oh yes, where are your two good friends?"

Jiang Yu looked around the room. "I remember that their names are Su Su and Anna? Didn't you say that they were your good friends? Why aren't they here?"

"They are here, Ma, Su Su is outside." Shi Wei smiled. "How could she not attend my wedding? However, Anna is not...."

There was a knock on the door. Shi Wei and Jiang Yu looked at each other before Jiang Yu said, "It might just be your good friend."

Shi Wei smiled. "That's true. I'll go and open the door then!" Shi Wei walked up to open the door with the smile still plastered on her face. However, her smile froze when she saw Anna. In fact, she stepped back in shock.

Covering her mouth, she looked at Anna with disbelief. "You...."

With a smile on her face, Anna said, "Wei, congratulations for finally tying the knot with your dream man! I hope that you will continue to be loving towards each other after you are married, and that you will have a child soon!" There was a twinkle in Anna's eyes, and she really looked like she was joking. However, with the two scars on her face, she still looked creepy nonetheless.

Shi Wei quickly calmed down and took a deep breath before saying, "Thank you, Anna. I didn't expect you to be here today, as I heard you...." She began to look rather sad. "Is your face alright? I'm sorry, I....I was taken aback. Who was the one who hurt you?"

Shi Wei was still a little creeped out when she said that, but she kept her gaze steadily on Anna's expression while keeping her own emotions in check. All she saw was Anna gritting her teeth. "Who else but that bitch Shi Nuan?!" Anna touched her scars and snarled, “I'll never let her off for this!"

Hearing this, Shi Wei glanced at Jiang Yu cautiously, whose eyes lit up as well. She walked over to pick up Anna's hand and shook her head regretfully. "Sigh, I feel so bad for your face, Anna. I remember how beautiful you used to be!"

"Auntie!" Anna looked like she was about to burst into tears. "Am I very ugly?"

"No, no, you are not ugly at all. Anna is the prettiest ever!" Jiang Yu was completely speaking against her own conscience now. "Some people are so cruel, it doesn't matter how good looking they are! Anna, I just feel very bad for you. Why don't you go to the hospital for a checkup?"

"Mm hmm, I'll definitely go to the hospital. But then, I thought that Wei was going to get married. If I go now, I may not see Wei for as long as another six months, and I wouldn't be able to give my wedding blessings to her. Wei is my best friend, so I definitely have to be here to give her my wishes before heading to the hospital!"

As she spoke, she held Shi Wei's hand. "Wei, you and Fu Xicheng have my very best wishes, and may you be together forever and never to part."

"Thank you!" Shi Wei felt that Anna was behaving rather strangely, but she could not quite place her finger on it. It is probably because her face looks a little scary, she thought to herself. "Anna, I'm sorry, I should still apologize to you about this matter. No matter what, Nuan is still my sister, but I had no idea that she would do something like that to you. I am not expecting you to forgive her, but it is my wedding day after all. If Nuan is here later, please don't make a scene with her, I beg you!"

"Don't be like this!" Anna held onto Shi Wei hastily. "I promise you I won't stir up any trouble with Shi Nuan today. However, I don't want your relationship with your sister to be affected because of me. I don't matter at all!"

"Hey, you ladies can continue chatting, but I'll be out there talking to our guests." Jiang Yu really did not want to be there anymore. Even though Anna was supposedly Shi Wei's friend, her face really gave Jiang Yu the chills.

Similarly, Shi Wei was feeling rather freaked out as well. She had not expected Anna to turn up at all, let alone looking like that.

After Jiang Yu left, Shi Wei continued to touch up her makeup. From a short distance away, Anna saw how beautiful Shi Wei was, and her hatred for Shi Wei grew even more. She then reached out and caressed her own face subconsciously.

Even though Shi Nuan had ordered people to do this to her, Shi Wei was still the cause of it all. Look at Shi Wei now, pushing all the blame to Shi Nuan.

Anna might have been dumb in the past, but this did not mean that she would continue to be so.

Anna walked up to her and looked at Shi Wei enviously. "Wei, you are gorgeous! I heard that you have a movie to shoot immediately after the wedding, I am so envious! Wei, I'll be out of town for a while after your wedding. When I am back, I'll definitely watch all of your drama series and movies."

Shi Wei stopped doing her make-up and nodded in response, "Alright!"

"Oh yes, here is my present to you!" Anna then fished out a gift box from her bag. Shi Wei opened up the gift box and exclaimed, "Oh my, such a precious gift!" It was a string of natural crystals.

Shi Wei was immediately smitten. "This is really beautiful. Thank you, Anna!"

"You are very welcome. Put it on! I don't really have anything else that I can gift you, so this will have to be your wedding gift.”

"Thank you!"

As she watched Shi Wei put it on, Anna's eyes turned colder even though she still had a smile on her face.

Anna put on a pair of shades after leaving the backstage area. She had loosened her hair bun and now her hair covered half of her face. She had also gone to the bathroom and put on a thick layer of makeup, making her scar less visible. At least she didn't look as scary now.

Shi Nuan was dawdling at home. Honestly, if she had a choice, she really did not want to attend Shi Wei's wedding. However, if she didn't go, she knew very well that Shi Wei would cook up various ways to trouble her again. Instead of allowing that to happen, she might as well attend the wedding. She really wanted to see what else Shi Wei could conjure up.

Shi Nuan randomly picked out a white cocktail dress. It looked simple and elegant, and the dress hugged each of her curves beautifully, fitting her like a glove.

She then looked at herself in the mirror before putting her hair up in a casual bun and applying some light makeup. On the overall, she looked very natural.

When Fu Chengyan walked out of the closet, Shi Nuan was trying on her shoes. He was casually holding a tie in his hand, but he could not move his gaze away from Shi Nuan.

Some people just have that talent. Without doing anything, they could make other people freeze in their tracks. Clearly, Shi Nuan was one of them.

There was a glint in Fu Chengyan's dark eyes as his breath felt heavier. Shi Nuan noticed that there was someone behind her. When she turned her head, she saw Fu Chengyan standing at the closet, staring deeply into her with his dark eyes.

Shi Nuan's chest tightened as she checked herself out quickly. She then asked him, "Why? Is there something wrong with the way I look?"

While she was asking him that barrage of questions, she continued to look at herself in the mirror while twirling around, trying to replace any imperfection. Fu Chengyan's breathing deepened once again as he saw how she looked as ethereal as a fairy. His eyes deepened but he shook his head with a smile as he walked up to Shi Nuan.

"You look great!"

This was from the bottom of his heart.

Shi Nuan heaved a sigh of relief, but not before rolling her eyes at Fu Chengyan. "I thought that there was something wrong with me, with you looking at me like that!"

"Yes, there is something wrong!" His voice deepened, and there was a hint of suppression in his voice.

Shi Nuan was so focused on her outfit that she did not hear how suppressed Fu Chengyan sounded. All she did was to ask, "What is wrong?"

"You are the biggest problem!" Fu Chengyan swallowed a lump in his throat as he reached out to pat Shi Nuan's head before pulling her into his arms. "Do you know how perfect you are? You are so beautiful, that I want to have you all to myself, put you into my pocket so you can be with me everywhere I go to, and other men would not be able to lay their eyes on you." He said with a gradually deepening voice. "No, other women can't look at you either!"

Shi Nuan was slightly shocked by his childlike yet impossibly sweet confession. Does he not realize how much these words would affect me?

She felt like a precious treasure that he kept firmly within his palms. Indeed, that made her feel that she was 'the one' for him.

"What?" Shi Nuan hadn't said anything, and she was actually slightly frozen, so Fu Chengyan asked her, "Do....do you think that I am very domineering?"

"No, not at all!" Shi Nuan snorted as she heard Fu Chengyan actually doubting himself.

She then lifted her eyes to meet Fu Chengyan's eyes, with her arms wrapped around his waist. "Did you just have some honey, Yan? Because you are really sweet. And even if you were domineering, you are just like that towards me." She chuckled and nudged his chest with her head. "Don't you know that girls always want men, especially their men, to say these things to them?" She snuggled up against him and nodded. "Moreover, every girl loves a domineering CEO. And you, sir, you are indeed a domineering CEO."

"You!" Fu Chengyan's heart had already melted when Shi Nuan said that he was her man. Now that he saw that she was all smiles, he could not help but smile too. "That's right, I am the domineering CEO. The domineering CEO that belongs to the one and only May!"
