I Want a Lifetime with You
Chapter 167

As Shi Nuan had been very busy recently since she started training with Lin YU. She barely had time for anything else; so, dinner was usually prepared by Fu Chengyan. On the contrary, Fu Chengyan seemed to be much more relaxed.

Shi Nuan had been busy for almost an hour. She headed downstairs after looking at the time. At this moment, Fu Chengyan had just come out of the kitchen. He beckoned when he saw Shi Nuan who was rubbing her neck, "Come here, wash your hands and eat!"

"It smells so delicious!" Shi Nuan walked over to take a look, "So much food! Can the two of us finish this much?" The dinner prepared seemed to be a portion catered for several people. Unexpectedly, Fu Chengyan glanced at her and countered, "You are too thin and you have been so busy recently!"

Shi Nuan pouted her lips, "If it isn't for the project! Mr. Lin had warned me that it will be the same for the next few months. So CEO Fu, you will have to do all the housework in the future." Shi Nuan smiled cheekily. Reaching out, Fu Chengyan touched Shi Nuan's forehead and took her hand guiding her into the kitchen, "Hurry up and eat, I have to use the study later, are you done with it?"

"Yeah, there is nothing to do for the time being." Shi Nuan groaned for a moment and then said, "What have you been up to lately?"

"You may not be interested in listening to things that are more idle!" Fu Chengyan looked sideways at Shi Nuan, "Why? Do you want to exchange jobs with me?"

"Please spare me!" Shi Nuan knew that although Fu Chengyan said it was simply, ordinary people in a position like his would not replace it easy. His sense of calmness had been polished throughout the years. Furthermore, Fu Chengyan's work efficiency was definitely higher than any other person's.

"Alright, let's eat! If you are really too busy, I will let Lin Yu reduce your tasks or send you a few people to help out!“

"That's not necessary." Shi Nuan raised her eyebrows, "I know you love me, but I still hope that I can do things independently. I also need to be learn too!" She knew that Fu Chengyan was an expert in his field and that she could easily rely on Fu Chengyan to get a simpler tasks. However, this was not what she wished for. She hoped that she could stand in the same position as Fu Chengyan. Although she might not be as powerful as him, at least she could hold the fort and be independent without being a hindrance to him.

In fact, Su Yian also talked to her about that, so did Grandpa and Granddad. She still had not met the Fu family. It would be difficult to handle if they were to have any dissatisfaction towards her. Hence, the only thing she could do now was to enrich herself.

"That's good!" Fu Chengyan smiled, took some vegetables and placed them in Shi Nuan's bowl, "For the time being, you just have to focus on the things you need to do. As for other things, you don't have to worry about them, I'll back you up!"

Shi Nuan was startled for a moment before smiling, "I know!"

She knew that Fu Chengyan was referring to matters relating to the Shi family and Shi Wei. He must have done a lot of things without her knowledge. As he did not say anything, she would not ask either. After dinner, Fu Chengyan went to the study, while Shi Nuan chatted with Song Rongrong and Su Yian in the group chat. While chatting, Su Yian suddenly mentioned Shi Wei saying that she saw her with some of her classmates a few days ago as they went to her tea house. At that instant, Shi Nuan and Song Rongrong were silent.

Realizing that she might have said something wrong, Su Yian asked, "Is Shi Wei's birthday during this period?"

At the mention of that, Shi Nuan remembered, "Yes."

Shi Wei was born during the winter. Shi Nuan still remembered that Shi Wei always had a huge special party planned to celebrate her birthday. The Shi Family would invite almost all of her classmates over for the party. When she became older, Shi Wei had some small circles of friends of her own, she would host a birthday celebration at home and another one outside.

The thought made Shi Nuan groaned, "What did Shi Wei do when she came over to your tea house?"

"It was just a gathering with her friends." Su Yian added, "It seems like they wanted to host a birthday party, and that they wanted to invite their ex-classmates. She is currently filming so she isn't able to do much on her own, so she asked some good friends to help her out. Do you think she is a little carried away?"

Twitching her lips, Shi Nuan replied, "Probably so!" However, only she knew that Shi Wei had always been like this.

Another reason why she might have wanted to do something special was because she was married to Fu Xicheng. Shi Nuan could almost imagine that Shi Wei would definitely invite her over then. After all, Sh Wei would not let go of any chance to humiliate herself.

At the peak of their lively chatter, Shi Nuan sat up and realized that Fu Chengyan had already been sitting at the foot of the bed. His legs were placed in a more relaxed posture with one hand propped on his knees and the other leaning on the edge of the bed watching Shi Nuan with interest.

Shi Nuan blinked, "Are you done?" She quickly ended the call and crawled over to leaning against Fu Chengyan, "Do you want me to prepare a bath for you?" Just as she was about to get out of bed, Fu Chengyan took Shi Nuan's hands. His eyes darkening slightly and said in a low, husky voice, "No need!"

Shi Nuan's heart trembled slightly as if she was aware of something. Just as she was about to speak, Fu Chengyan held Shi Nuan's hand and pressed her under his body, "May."

His voice was so sexy it hurts. Before meeting Fu Chengyan, Shi Nuan never knew that a man could be so sexy that made a woman feel ashamed. Moreover, she had never known the nature her hidden self in her subconscious mind. Stuck in Fu Chengyan's gentle eyes, she was inextricable.

She was anxious and her hands touched Fu Chengyan's chest, "No, not today!"

His eyes darkened and he bit her warm lips, "What kind of flavor do I get for today? Will it be orange or strawberry!"

Shi Nuan's face flushed. She grabbed Fu Chengyan's shirt collar with her hands and her voice trembled slightly, "Will you please!"

The next day Shi Nuan got up from the bed while rubbing her sore waist. Lifting the quilt contentedly, Fu Chengyan hugged her and kissed her eyes, "Morning!"

Shi Nuan glanced at Fu Chengyan strangely and said, "It's not early anymore." Fu Chengyan would have already gotten up at this time usually unlike today, which was later than usual. "You shall sleep in the guest room tonight!"

Fu Chengyan's long and narrow eyes were thinly raised, and the corners of his lips turned into a smile, "May, were you dissatisfied by my performance last night?"

Satisfied? Like hell she would!

Shi Nuan's face turned black, and she stretched out her hand and squeezed Fu Chengyan's face, "How can you have such thick skin!"

Twitching his lips, Fu Chengyan held her hand and wrapped it in his palm and held it gently. Her heart fluttered when he did that. She bit her lip, "Stop your nonsense, I'll be late for work later!”

Fu Chengyan chuckled and let go of Shi Nuan's hand. She slipped into the bathroom hurriedly with her face extremely flushed.

Looking at herself in the mirror, she could see that her face was red. Although she had lost a lot of weight and became darker, her spirit was excellent. Stretching out her hands and patting her cheeks, she chided, "Shi Nuan, focus!" Don't be so flustered whenever you are teased by Fu Chengyan.

When Shi Nuan was out with Lin Yu for an inspection, she received a call from Shi Wei who invited her to her birthday party saying that she had to go as Shi Nuan was her only sister. Indeed, Shi Wei would no let go of any chance to humiliate her.

If this were before, she would take the family image and Shi Wei's reputation into consideration. However, she had changed. She would not let Shi Wei bullied her anymore.

Shi Nuan hung up the phone with a faint expression. Upon seeing her solemn face, Lin Yu thought something might have happened and asked concernedly, "Shi Nuan?"

Recovering from her daze, she placed her phone back into her bag before opening her notebook and continued to work with Lin Yu. However, it was evident that Shi Nuan seemed to be more absent-minded than before, "You don't seem to be in the right mood. Is something wrong?"

Shi Nuan shook her head, "Nothing important. By the way, did you mean that you want to demolish the mental hospital?" Shi Nuan thought that if that was the case, then the project here would not be as difficult.

What they need to consider would be geological issues as well as the duration of the project.

Lin Yu nodded, "Mr. Fu said that but it depends on the higher-ups as well. You should know that generally many issues have to be considered before starting work, not to mention that it is not easy to demolish a building. We have to first consider where these patients should go after the hospital has being demolished."

Shi Nuan nodded, "But this does not seem to part of our problem."

Lin Yu quirked his lips, "You don't know anything about it. Mr. Fu wanted this problem to be solved by Shengyuan."

Shi Nuan was surprised, "Why is that so?"

Looking at Shi Nuan, Lin Yu asked, "He didn't tell you?"

Shi Nuan was startled, "No, the nature of our work is different. I don't usually ask him about these things." Then she added, “In the company, I am your subordinate so I shouldn't be given any special treatment If this information is confidential and restricted to company's senior management; then, I shouldn't know and he won't tell me too."

Her reply caught Lin Yu by surprise and he was silent for a moment. "Let's continue talking about the problem then! I will ask Mr. Fu for instructions in the next few days and let the surveyor come over to see what are the problems here."

"There is also the problem with that river and the factory. How serious is the pollution? If it is not solved, the project here will not be able to start work!"

"You're right." Lin Yu raised his hand and glanced at the timetable. "Let's go back!"

Shi Nuan and Lin Yu returned to the company together. Just as Shi Nuan walked downstairs, she saw Fu Xicheng at the entrance of Shengyuan Group. Shi Nuan paused as Fu Xicheng had also seen her and was walking towards her.

Sending her a glance, Lin Yu asked, "Do you know him?"

Shi Nuan nodded and Lin Yu said, "Then you two talk, I will go up first."

After Lin Yu had left, Shi Nuan turned to look at Fu Xicheng, "Are you here to see Mr. Fu?"

"No, I am here to see you!"
