I Want a Lifetime with You
Chapter 308

Her face flushed scarlet red immediately, and she smacked his hand away. "You are so shameless!"

"Is this shameless?" His eyes twinkled with humor as he lifted her chin with his finger and planted his lips firmly onto hers. The kiss left them slightly out of breath. Fu Chengyan teased, "I can be even more shameless. Mrs. Fu, would you like to try me?"

The next morning, Shi Nuan headed downstairs with an aching back. Along the way down, she grumbled about the unrelenting drive of Fu Chengyan. I shouldn't believe any word of what a man says on the bed!

"You've finally woken up."

Fu Chengyan came out of the kitchen with two small bowls in his hands. Noticing the resentful look on Shi Nuan's face, he made a peace offering to her by pointing at the sumptuous breakfast on the dining table. "Quickly, finish up your breakfast. Don't you need to visit the construction site later? You should have a full breakfast before going."

Shi Nuan walked to the dining table grudgingly. The resentment on her face was replaced by astonishment, and she could not help but blurt out, "There's only both of us here. Why do you cook so much food?" "Didn't you say you would be going to the construction site today? Bring some food along with you. Otherwise, you may be starved to death as you need to spend some time in the construction site!" "Okay!" Shi Nuan nodded as her gaze towards Fu Chengyan softened. He must have gotten up very early to cook this much food. With that thought in mind, she could not help but sneak a peek at Fu Chengyan again.

He smiled. "Why is Mrs. Fu looking at me? Would she rather have me than the food for breakfast?"

Shi Nuan stared at him, speechless.

After calling Fu Chengyan shameless in her heart, she started to tuck in happily.

While Fu Chengyan was packing up some food for her to bring along with her to the construction site, he asked, "Will you be stopping by the office first, or are you heading to the site straightaway?"

"I left some documents in the office, so I agreed to meet Mr. Lin in the office first before going to the site together." Furthermore, it doesn't seem very appropriate for me to drive my car to the site. "Do you remember Mr. Lin winning a Land Rover during a lucky draw? I can take the opportunity to check out his new car!"

"You cheeky imp!" Fu Chengyan pinched her nose. "Okay, let's set off now."

Shi Nuan had just parked her car when she saw Lin Yu waiting for her beside his Land Rover that had been parked by the roadside. At the sight of her, he checked his watch and said, "Let's go!" "Mr. Lin, I left some documents in the office!"

"I've already taken them. Just get into the car."

Shi Nuan boarded the car obediently. After putting on his seat belt, Lin Yu sensed Shi Nuan's gaze on him. Puzzled, he asked, "Is there any other matter?"

Shi Nuan shook her head. "Nothing!"

"Then let us set off now! We may stay there for a long time. Thank god it's not summer now. But the wind over there is rather strong. I hope you have brought along a jacket to keep you warm?"

"It's fine. Mr. Lin, you're even more attentive than my mom!" Shi Nuan could not help but tease him. Lin Yu smiled good-naturedly and said, "The documents are beside you, do have a look at them. George will be returning next week, so once everyone agrees on the proposal, our collaboration with Li Group will start immediately."

"Li Group? Have we already confirmed the collaboration with them?" Shi Nuan was surprised as she thought that Fu Chengyan had planned to study the proposals made by other companies first before making a decision. Is he not considering other companies right from the start?

Lin Yu smiled. "Only the Li Group is qualified so far. I guess Mr. Fu has his own considerations too."

"Yes, yes!" I don't really care which company we'll be working with anyway. Furthermore, the Li Group is really quite outstanding in all aspects. But Fu Chengyan has mentioned before that Shengyuan seldom works with Li Group because of Li Heng. Why is he making an exception now?

"Why? Do you have any other questions?"

"No, I'm good. Let me continue reading through the documents!"

Indeed, both of them were caught up in work once they arrived at the construction site in the morning. Furthermore, Lin Yu had a tendency to forget about the time once he started working. Thus when he finally raised his head, he was stunned for a second at the sight of Shi Nuan having her lunch in the car and headed to the car immediately.

"I'm so sorry. We seemed to have missed our lunch time."

"Mr. Lin, do you want to have some?"

Not only had Fu Chengyan prepared appetizing dishes, but he had also even packed them in thermos lunch boxes to keep the food warm.

Lin Yu swept an astonished gaze across all the thermos lunch boxes that Shi Nuan had laid out on the car seat. Struggling to replace an appropriate reaction, he finally asked, "So you have prepared your own lunch, knowing that you may go hungry during your site visit with me..."

He broke out into a smile. "I'm so sorry. I haven't been a thoughtful boss."

"That's not true." Shi Nuan smiled. "Anyway, I have brought extra food. Do you want some?"

"Did you make them yourself?"

Shi Nuan shook her head. "Yan made them!"

Yan?

Lin Yu raised a brow. Fu Chengyan made them?

He looked at Shi Nuan with a conflicted look; he could not digest the fact that a wildly successful businessman such as Fu Chengyan could make such a delicious soup.

"What's wrong? Aren't you hungry?" Shi Nuan sensed something was amiss with Lin Yu.

"No, I shouldn't eat them since Mr. Fu has prepared them especially for you. Initially, I planned to buy you lunch. I guess there's no need for it now?"

Shi Nuan stared at her boss in silence upon hearing his statement.

Lin Yu burst out laughing at the sight of Shi Nuan's dumbfounded look. "I'm just kidding!"

Shi Nuan almost choked on her food amidst Lin Yu's laughter, and she finally managed an awkward smile after a long while. "So Mr. Lin, do you really not want some? We may be stuck at work for a long time."

Lin Yu accepted her offer and tried a few mouthfuls. His eyes lit up in surprise. Although the food is slightly cold, it tastes quite good! Judging from Lin Yu's expression, Shi Nuan knew that the food must be delicious. "Aren't Yan's culinary skills good?"

Lin Yu nodded in agreement. "Yeah, it's not bad, actually!"

"Have you tried Yian's cooking before?"

Lin Yu spat out his food in shock, and his face flushed red instantly.

Seeing that Lin Yu was coughing badly as he almost choked on his food, Shi Nuan hurriedly passed him a bottle. "Mr. Lin, here, some water for you."

Lin Yu opened the bottle frantically and gulped the liquid down. Finally, he stopped coughing and looked at Shi Nuan with conflicted feelings as he swallowed hard.

Feeling sorry, Shi Nuan tried to explain, "I... I don't mean to pry. I'm only asking out of concern for my friend and my boss. It's only a coincidence that my friend and my boss..."

Lin Yu blushed again upon hearing Shi Nuan's words. After a long silence, he finally said to Shi Nuan, "Ms. Su is quite good."

Batting her eyelids at him cheekily, Shi Nuan waited for him to continue but to no avail. Hence, she had no choice but to ask, "Then?"

Lin Yu met her gaze. "Sorry, but I only see Ms. Su as a good friend."

He did not explain further, but Shi Nuan caught his meaning. Feeling indignant on her friend's behalf, she could not help but ask, "Why? Are you still unable to forget about her?"

Her?

Lin Yu replied in a puzzled tone, "How do you know about her?'

So it's true? "I don't know the person, but I have heard that you used to like someone. Mr. Lin, everyone needs to let go of their past and move on. I think..."

"Ms. Shi, this is a personal matter of mine. I don't think I need to explain myself to you."

Shi Nuan's body stiffened for a moment before letting out a burst of awkward laughter to ease the tension in the air. "I'm sorry. I have gone overboard."

For the rest of the afternoon, the two of them were relatively quiet, only talking about work matters. After wrapping up their work at the construction site, they returned to the office. Lin Yu drove to the car park after dropping off Shi Nuan at the company lobby.

Shi Nuan was about to head upstairs to her office when two stern-looking men decked in black suits blocked her path. "Ms. Shi?”

"That's me. And you are?"

"Old Master would like to see you." One of the men said, "Please come with us."

"Old Master?" Shi Nuan was stunned for a second before looking around her. She looked at the two men before her again and asked, "You mean Old Master Fu?"

Who else can it be but him? Only he has the authority to allow his men to come in and go out of Shengyuan at their own will and to take someone away forcibly. They even refer to him as Old Master.

She bit her lower lip and pondered for a moment before asking, "Can you let me go up to put my stuff first?"

"Ms. Shi, why don't you go with us now since you know that Old Master Fu wants to meet you? You must drop everything and rush to meet Old Master Fu so long as he wishes to meet you!"

Shi Nuan's mouth twitched.

These men are so arrogant! Even Fu Chengyan wasn't this arrogant when I met him for the first time!

"Please leave with us now!"

Shi Nuan was left without a choice. Curling her lips, she said, "Let me make a call to my boss first. I need to pass these documents to him! These are very important documents. He will need to use them later!" The two men before her frowned in apparent impatience. But Shi Nuan ignored them and called Lin Yu on her phone immediately, who happened to enter the lobby at this moment. He furrowed his brows at the sight of Shi Nuan, who appeared to be worried. "Ms. Shi."

"Mr. Lin, it's great seeing you here." Shi Nuan hurried over to Lin Yu. "These documents are for you. Didn't you mention that these documents are very important?"

"Yes, These are very important, but we haven't finished working on them yet. Didn't I ask you to complete them by this afternoon?" Lin Yu looked at the two men behind Shi Nuan, noticing their intent gaze on her.

Lin Yu turned to look at Shi Nuan again. "Mr. Fu wants this document, but I need to go out for a while. Please hand this over to Mr. Fu." With that, Shi Nuan passed the document to Lin Yu and held his hands tightly. "You must tell Mr. Fu."

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes. "Rest assured. I will pass this document to Mr. Fu. Go ahead if you have something urgent to attend to. Give me a call if you need me."

"Great, Mr. Lin! Thanks!" Shi Nuan heaved a deep sigh of relief and turned around to look at the two men in black suits. "Where does Old Master Fu want to meet me? Bring me there!"
