I Want a Lifetime with You
Chapter 198

Both of them stepped out from the car, and Shi Nuan tidied her outfit which seemed to suit her very well. Fu Chengyan was also satisfied with her outfit.

"So? This is okay, right? By the way, who are you picking up today? I need to prepare myself to deal with it." Shi Nuan looked at Fu Chengyan, but the man was still gazing at her. Hence, she turned to look at herself. "Am I not pretty?"

"You are pretty." Fu Chengyan's gaze darkened. "Let's go. He should be here." The man glanced at his watch. It was already two in the afternoon. "Zhou Zheng said the plane will arrive at two, so we should be able to pick him up if we head in now."

Shi Nuan grinned. "You haven't told me who he is!"

"George." Fu Chengyan replied.Shi Nuan hesitated before asking in surprise, "The lead architect? Mr. George?"

"You know him?" Fu Chengyan remained calm, stretching out his hand. Shi Nuan walked to him and held his hand as they walked side by side. "Yes, everyone knows who Mr. George is. Mr. Lin had mentioned his name a few times recently. I heard he had designed the two shopping malls under Shengyuan."

Fu Chengyan grinned and nodded. "Looks like you've done your research."

Shi Nuan replied shyly, "Not really. I enjoy reading books regarding this area of expertise when I am free. Recently, Mr. Lin often mentioned him in our discussion, so I spent some time reading about him." Fu Chengyan arched his brows proudly. Shi Nuan was delighted upon seeing Fu Chengyan's reaction. She squeezed his hand and asked, "So are you doing this through the backdoor for me today?" "You can think of it that way." Fu Chengyan touched Shi Nuan's nose before pinching it. "The master may teach, but progress is up to the hard work of the individual. I might introduce the best architect in the world to you, but if you don't work hard, my efforts would be in vain."

"I know that well." He created the opportunity for me, and the rest depends on my hard work.

"Yes. You can ask your Mr. Lin regarding this."

"You mean Director Lin? Lin Yu?" Shi Nuan was taken aback. "He taught me everything he knew. I think he can be a professor with his knowledge." Shi Nuan had underestimated Lin Yu when she came up with that conclusion.

Lin Yu's capability was more than that. That was the reason why Fu Chengyan favored him.

"George is his teacher."

"Really? Why didn't he tell me about this?" Shi Nuan was shocked. "Wait a minute."

She took her phone out and froze when she saw Lin Yu's name on her phone. "Speak of the devil. Mr. Lin is calling me."

"Shi Nuan, have you finished preparing the survey data that I had assigned you a few days ago?" Lin Yu was sick and had been resting at home for a few days. He couldn't leave work so he called Shi Nuan a few times every day.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin. Everything is done. I've handed the file to Mr. Fu." Shi Nuan smiled. "Mr. Lin, you should rest since you're sick. Yuan Jia and I will handle everything." "Mm." Lin Yu nodded and coughed. "Did Mr. Fu give you any feedback?"

"Well... I just gave it to him. He said nothing yet." Shi Nuan said, but Fu Chengyan pointed at her phone, signaling her to give it to him. The woman bit her lip. "Mr. Lin, I'm with Mr. Fu right now. He wants to talk to you."

Shi Nuan handed her phone to Fu Chengyan. He took her phone and said curtly, "This is Fu Chengyan. I received the file you told Shi Nuan to give me. I haven't had time to read it yet, but I think it should be fine. I'll give you an answer tonight. Go and rest since you're sick."

"Yes, Mr. Fu." Since Fu Chengyan wasn't in a hurry, Lin Yu stopped worrying. A thought flashed through his mind as he asked, "Mr. Fu, are you with Shi Nuan now?"

"Is there any problem?" Fu Chengyan's voice changed abruptly. Right then, Fu Chengyan's phone started ringing. The man lowered his gaze at Shi Nuan and gestured for her to answer his phone.

Shi Nuan pouted and took his phone from his pocket. The caller ID showed it was Mai Qi, so she waved it in front of him.

"Answer it!" Fu Chengyan told her before he continued chatting to Lin Yu. Shi Nuan had no choice but to unlock his phone. But she was astounded when she saw the lock screen wallpaper.

Fu Chengyan had set her photo as his wallpaper. In the photo, she was sleeping soundly, and her hair was messy too. Shi Nuan did not know when Fu Chengyan took this photo. Her bad habits were all shown in the photo, but the man set it as his lock screen wallpaper, so she was slightly upset about that.

Fu Chengyan sensed her stare and met her gaze. He pointed at his phone. "Answer the call."

Shi Nuan snapped out of her daze and hurriedly answered the call. "Hello!"

"Er, who is this?" Mai Qi was caught off guard. "Isn't this Mr. Fu's phone?"

"Yes, it is. You're Ms. Mai, right? Hello, I'm Shi Nuan from the project management department." Shi Nuan replied in a sweet voice. At the other end of the phone, Mai Qi had only one thought on her mind. What is Shi Nuan's relationship with our boss? But before Mai Qi could go on, Shi Nuan spoke up. "Ms. Mai? I'm with Mr. Fu right now but he's busy. Do you need anything?"

"Oh, I see. Mr. George's secretary just called. They have already reached the airport but didn't see anyone from our company. Are you at the airport with Mr. Fu?" "Yes, we're at the airport waiting for Mr. George."

"Oh, I see. One of Mr. George's luggage went missing, and there's something extremely important in it, so..."

"Okay, got it. I'll tell Mr. Fu to go to Mr. George right now." Shi Nuan hung up, and it just so happened that Fu Chengyan hung up too. She couldn't help but wonder if Fu Chengyan did it on purpose. "What's wrong?" Fu Chengyan was still clutching Shi Nuan's phone when he spotted her lock screen wallpaper-a photo of an unknown man. He furrowed his brows at once but said nothing about it. "What did Mai Qi say?"

"Oh, Mr. George should be there now. One of his luggage went missing, and there is something extremely important in it. Mr. George couldn't get in touch with the person who was supposed to pick him up, so he called Mai Qi."

"Mm, let's go." Fu Chengyan nodded. The man took his phone from Shi Nuan and pocketed it but he didn't give Shi Nuan's phone back to her.

Shi Nuan parted her lips when she noticed Fu Chengyan fiddling with her phone as he walked into the airport. The man found the perfect angle, pulled Shi Nuan into his embrace, and clicked on the shutter. All Shi Nuan heard was a click before she saw Fu Chengyan and her photo on the screen. She pursed her lips. "What have you done?" She wanted to get her phone back, but he raised his hand so high. She couldn't get it back even if she tiptoed.

"Fu Chengyan, why won't you give me back my phone? You should tell me if you want to take a photo! I wasn't ready!" Shi Nuan grumbled. "Give me back my phone."

Her husband merely smirked as he moved his fingers swiftly across the screen before giving it back to her with satisfaction.

Shi Nuan took her phone from him and was about to grumble when she noticed he had set the photo they took earlier as her lock screen wallpaper. "Why did you change my lock screen wallpaper?"

"Why can't I? Your lock screen wallpaper can only be me instead of other men." Fu Chengyan frowned as he recalled the man in her lock screen wallpaper. He was upset because that man was actually quite good-looking.

"Other men? He's an actor who I like." Shi Nuan was exasperated. "He's someone who won't even appear in my life. Why are you jealous?"

"No, I won't allow that. From now on, you can only save my photos in your phone!"

"You're so possessive." Shi Nuan replied in resignation. "Setting your photo as my lock screen wallpaper is the same as announcing to everyone about our relationship!" Shi Nuan shook her head. She didn't change the wallpaper even though she said that. The woman studied the photo and demanded, "Look, you didn't tell me you were taking a photo. I didn't get to prepare at all. You even managed to pose! That's unfair!"

Fu Chengyan raised his brows and pocketed Shi Nuan's phone. "I'll keep your phone for now to prevent you from changing the lock screen wallpaper." The man announced possessively. He didn't give any time for Shi Nuan to react as he reached out to hold her hand. "Let's go. Mr. George is waiting for us anxiously."

"We wouldn't have wasted time here if you hadn't done that. But then again, when did you take that photo of me? The one with me sleeping is so ugly. Change it later. I'll take a nice photo for you in a bit."

"I think that is good enough." Fu Chengyan leaned down. He chuckled and whispered in her ear, "You are most attractive when you're half-awake in the morning."

Shi Nuan was caught off-guard as her heart started beating faster. She gasped at the sudden change in her heartbeat rhythm and her whole face flushed. She shoved Fu Chengyan away shyly. "Stop it." They were in the airport where there were plenty of people. "From now on, stay away from me!"

A triumphant smirk lit up on Fu Chengyan's face. He narrowed his eyes and took Shi Nuan's hand. "Won't you pine for me if I stay away?"
