I Want a Lifetime with You
Chapter 169

As Shi Wei did not invite Song Rongrong and Su Yian this time, Shi Nuan came alone. She had guessed that Shi Wei must have prepared something for her today. Shi Nuan guessed that it could be nothing more than embarrassing herself in the public as she seemed to be incapable of doing anything more.

When she arrived, almost everyone was present. Shi Wei saw Shi Nuan from afar. She was wearing a camel coat today with a light-colored dress inside. She looked dazzling.

Shi Wei could not help but darkened her eyes. However, when she thought of Shi Nuan crying later, she felt better again. Walking over, she took Shi Nuan's hand and faked a sisterly look, "Nuan, you are finally here, I thought you wouldn't come over today."

"Why wouldn't I!" Retreating her hand from Shi Wei in a calm expression. Shi Nuan took out a gift box from her bag and handed it to her sister. "Today is your birthday, and I did not know what to give you. So, I bought this necklace with a month's salary. Sister, see if you like it?"

Shi Wei raised her eyebrows when she heard those words. How much does Shi Nuan earn in a month? What kind of a necklace could she even afford? Perhaps it's from one of those low-tier brands! Shi Wei thought to herself since Shi Nuan came here prepared to be humiliated; then, she could not be blamed.

When Shi Wei opened the box, she was ready to fake a surprised expression. However, the sight of the necklace really surprised Shi Wei. "This..." Shi Wei stared at the royal blue necklace in the box and her body could not stop shaking, "Nuan, this is..."

"Heart of the Ocean!" Shi Nuan squinted and smiled, "Isn't it gorgeous! When I first saw it, I thought it was a good match for my sister, so I saved money for a few months earlier and bought it as a gift." Shi Nuan showed a kind smile on her face and reached out to take it out of the box, "Sister, let me put it on for you!"

"Don't touch me!" Shi Wei suddenly yelled at Shi Nuan out of control. As her voice was a bit loud, everyone in the entire banquet hall stopped to look at them.

Shi Wei was taken aback. She stared at Shi Nuan who was aggrieved realizing that she had overreacted. Gritting her teeth and cursing Shi Nuan in her heart, she looked at her apologetically, "I'm sorry Nuan, didn't mean to raise my voice at you. This is such an expensive necklace. I was only excited and moved for a while. I didn't expect you to save money for months just to buy me a necklace!"

Despite speaking in such a strong voice, she was about to vomit blood in her heart. Perhaps others might not know, but Shi Wei knew the origin of the necklace.

The necklace was a birthday present from Fu Xicheng when Shi Nuan was still going out with him. At that time, Shi Wei had already taken a fancy on him and was crazy about him. Perhaps people always thought that the grass was always greener on the other side.

At that time, Fu Xicheng was out of Shi Wei's league. When she saw that Shi Nuan had obtained the Heart of the Ocean, her jealousy and madness almost burned her to death. From then on, Shi Wei vowed that she would steal Fu Xicheng away from Shi Nuan.

Later, she got what she wanted and Fu Xicheng promised to get engaged to her and marry her which happened according to her plan. However, what Shi Wei could not let go of was that Shi Nuan still had a place in Fu Xicheng's heart, and the Heart of the Ocean necklace that he gave her.

Shi Wei once insinuated and wanted Fu Xicheng to get the Heart of the Ocean back but he refused to do anything.

It was true that Shi Wei wanted the Heart of the Ocean but not in this manner. Was Shi Nuan humiliating her by doing this? Was she declaring war against her and telling her that Fu Xicheng had loved her like that before? In any case, it doesn't matter how Shi Wei took him away from her. She was actually just taking away what Shi Nuan did not want?

At this moment, no one knew what Shi Wei was thinking about. She hated Shi Nuan and hated how she looked at her.

Despite seeing Shi Wei's expression, Shi Nuan wore a smile on her face, "Of course, you are my only sister. I didn't give you a decent wedding gift when you got married. Naturally, I have to make up for this birthday." As she said, she leaned in close to Shi Wei and handed the Heart of the Ocean to her mocking, "I have worn this necklace before, and I think this necklace is more suitable for you! So I gave it to you. Is my sister happy?"

"You...Shi Nuan, you..."

"My dear sister, don't be so touched. This is what a sister should do. It is said that a person of a noble character does not take anything that doesn't belong to them. I may not be noble but this is what I preach." Shi Nuan said and patted Shi Wei's palm, "Don't lose it."

"Shi Nuan, you're doing this on purpose!"

"Why would I!" Shi Nuan looked at Shi Wei with a smile, "I am here to bless my sister." Taking out the invitation from her bag, she said, "Look, sister, you have already sent me a second wedding invitation! They all said that good things come in pairs. I think this is indeed a good thing for you, my sister!"

At this moment, Shi Wei was seething with rage that she wanted to give Shi Nuan a tight slap. But with so many people in the banquet hall, her status did not allow her to do such a thing.

What's more, everyone would see that Shi Nuan did not do anything wrong except to gift her such an expensive necklace.

Speaking with a voice that only two people could hear, Shi Nuan said, "Sister, don't be too moved. If there is a third and a fourth time, I will still send you more gifts."

After Shi Nuan finished speaking, it was such a rare sight to see Shi Wei's face cracked and she felt a sense of pleasure.

Fu Xicheng and she were once in love even though she did not have any feelings for him anymore. She did not want to be so heartless but she had been humiliated over and over again. She did not do anything and had backed down and compromised, but they did not seem to be satisfied with that

However, they probably did not know this dark side of hers as she had been hiding it away from others. Ever since she started being with Fu Chengyan, she feels that people should be more selfish and one's interest should always come first. After all, not so many people would care about your feelings or sympathized with you.

"You still have so many guests to entertain so I won't hold you back any longer." Shi Nuan let go of Shi Wei's hand, took two steps back and put on a smile. What an eyesore, Shi Wei thought. "Okay, let me greet my guests first. Thank you for the gift, I also have a gift for you later. So you just chill!" Shi Wei could not wait to wipe the smile off Shi Nuan's face.

Shi Wei left in a huff. When she reached the lounge, she smashed the Heart of the Ocean and the box that came with it onto the floor.

At first, she liked the necklace. Now, she detested it and could not stand the sight of it.

Pushing the door open from the outside, Shi Wei turned around in annoyance, "Anna, who let you in?"

Anna glanced at the necklace on the ground. When she made sure that Shi Wei was unable to see her, her eyes darkened before kneeling down and picking it up. She smiled, "I don't understand what is there to be angry about. Fu Xicheng is now your husband. This can only prove that you have defeated Shi Nuan. Why care so much about this necklace, what matters is that Fu Xicheng is now yours. I think Shi Nuan is jealous so she gave you a necklace to make you angry. Think about it, she could do nothing apart from this."

Shi Wei shot Anna with a look of disbelief thinking that she was a little strange lately. She used to be an impatient person; so it was unexpected of her to say something of that sort. However, it was undeniable that Anna's words made her feel better.

The reason why she had been closer to Su Su since the beginning was because she thought Su Su was very smart as she could easily understand her thoughts and feelings. In comparison, Anna was more dull-witted and things had to be said to her in a straightforward manner for her to understand. Because of that, she did not really take Anna as a true friend despite being close to her.

"Let's put it away. What is there to be angry about? You will feel a lot better later," Anna said as she comforted Shi Wei by patting her hand. "Today is your birthday, cheer up.”

"Yeah! You're right. I can't be angry because of her, it's not worth it!" Shi Wei nodded and composed herself. "Later, you will serve Shi Nuan the wine and you must make sure she drink it!"

There was a flash in Anna's eyes, "Okay, don't worry! This is for both of us!"

"Yeah!" Shi Wei said as she held Anna's hand, "Anna, I'm counting on you."

Anna nodded her head and said, "How about Yun Shen..."

"Su Su will be keeping an eye on him, so don't worry!" Shi Wei's eyes darkened, revealing an insidious and cunning light.

Shi Nuan found a place to sit at random but Yun Shen had noticed her the minute she came in. She was a little different from the previous times when they met. Then, she looked a little miserable but today she was full of energy as she was glowing.

If one were to describe Shi Wei as a beautiful peony as she portrayed to be fragile and needed to be taken care of. Then, Shi Nuan would be Datura as one would never look away for she was irresistible. Shi Wei's beauty was too revealing and her eyes looked menacing. That was why Yun Shen disliked Shi Wei at first glance.

However, Shi Nuan was different. When they met previously, she sent out a different vibe.

One example was her confrontation with Shi Wei; he could see clearly that she was calm and there was a sense of flippant self-sufficiency. That was what made her so irresistibly attractive.

Perhaps others did not know what Shi Nuan had said to Shi Wei but Yun Shen knew could lip-read. Hence, he understood what Shi Nuan said and he could not help but laugh. In reality, that woman was not as gentle as he thought she was. In fact, she had small sharp claws just like a kitten. If she were to scratch someone, that would be an agony.
