I Want a Lifetime with You
Chapter 412

The report arrived quickly and showed that Shi Nuan was around five weeks pregnant. They couldn't discern the gender yet, but results showed that they were expecting two babies.

Fu Chengyan couldn't stop staring at the report and scans. Nothing was recognizable at that point, but the way he looked at them seemed as though he had discovered the most precious item in the world. Shi Nuan gazed at him all the while, unsure whether to laugh or cry. She felt extremely moved.

Fu Chengyan seemed rather fond of children. If he's already so nice to Cheng An and Bao, I'm sure he'll treat his own children even better. Thinking about this, Shi Nuan's heart felt incredibly warm. She used to worry that Fu Chengyan didn't like children, but from the way he was behaving now, she could finally be at ease.

"Chengyan's lost it, hasn't he?" Su Shaoqing couldn't bear looking at how Fu Chengyan looked right now, so he walked toward Shi Nuan and nudged her arm. "Look at him. I've known him for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen him with an expression like this!"

Shi Nuan also found her husband rather hilarious, but she felt even more touched.

Just as Su Shaoqing finished speaking, he felt a murderous aura. The next second, Fu Chengyan pulled Shi Nuan behind him and glared at Su Shaoqing warily. "Stay away from May from now onward. You're not allowed to touch her. Also... What does she need to look out for now that she's pregnant?"

Being extremely meticulous over Shi Nuan's pregnancy, Fu Chengyan proceeded to ask all sorts of questions on what they needed to take note of.

Yu Qing didn't know who Fu Chengyan was, but she was well-acquainted with Su Shaoqing. The fact that he's talking to Dr. Su so casually must mean he's a big shot too. Upon seeing how concerned Fu Chengyan was for Shi Nuan, Yu Qing couldn't help but feel pleased with the man. Hence, she took the extra time to guide Fu Chengyan.

"Basically, you'll have to be by your wife's side from now on, all the way until she gives birth, as well as during post-natal care. Some tasks are best handled together. Your missus is expecting twins, Mr. Fu, so you'll have to be extra careful. I'll be sure to list down everything regarding her dietary restrictions and other activities. I hope you'll take good care of her as you both enter parenthood for the first time." Yu Qing jotted down everything Fu Chengyan needed to know while Shi Nuan rested nearby.

Su Shaoqing was the kind of person who always wanted to be part of anything interesting. He certainly couldn't miss this scene, considering how rare it was for Fu Chengyan to be behaving this way. When Su Shaoqing found out that someone like Fu Chengyan had actually made a WeChat account, he quickly obtained the latter's handle from Shi Nuan and added him. Then, he dragged Li Heng and Pei Jingxiu into creating their own accounts too.

As Fu Chengyan discussed Shi Nuan's pregnancy care with Yu Qing, Su Shaoqing recorded the scene live.

Over in C Country and Sheen City, Li Heng and Pei Jingxiu observed this side of Fu Chengyan.

Seeing Su Shaoqing on his phone the whole time, Shi Nuan couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing, Shaoqing?"

Su Shaoqing raised his eyebrows, leaned over, and handed her his phone. "Take a look!"

Shi Nuan took the phone and glanced at it before quickly looking up in surprise. Seeing Su Shaoqing signal her to remain hush, Shi Nuan smiled and proceeded to scroll up the conversation.

Li Heng: THAT'S Chengyan? Has he been possessed?

Pei Jingxiu: I think you've got the wrong person!

Su Shaoqing: This is a live recording! Where's my money?

Seeing Su Shaoqing's message, Shi Nuan's lips couldn't help but twitch. She soon broke into a smile. It was clear that she was in a great mood.

Su Shaoqing grinned too. "Wanna join the chat group, Shi Nuan?"

"Can I?"

"Of course!" He flashed her his phone screen.

Shi Nuan scanned the QR code and instantly became part of the chat group.

Su Shaoqing: Let's welcome Shi Nuan, everyone!

Soon, Pei Huan was also dragged into the group, and she sent out a surprised emoji before asking: Why are you all using WeChat?

Then, she quickly noticed Shi Nuan and added: Congrats, Shi Nuan!

Shi Nuan's lips curled. She replied: Thanks! Congrats to you and Li Heng too!

Pei Jingxiu: Chengyan really has changed.

Shi Nuan watched as everyone chatted away. It wasn't as lively as her conversations with Song Rongrong and Su Yian, but the fact that all these prominent figures were on WeChat made them seem so much more down-to-earth.

Right after he was done speaking with Yu Qing, Fu Chengyan turned and noticed Shi Nuan and Su Shaoqing sitting close together with their heads lowered, using their phones without any reservation. With a slight frown, he snatched Shi Nuan's phone away.

"You shouldn't use your phone so often now that you're pregnant," he chided, putting her phone in his shirt pocket before grabbing her hand. "Let's go."

"Hey!" Su Shaoqing called out to them both. "How heartless can you two be? I spent all day keeping you guys company and drowning myself in work, but you're leaving without even a word of thanks?" Su Shaoqing made himself look extremely hurt.

Shi Nuan was tickled by Su Shaoqing's expression. "How about we treat Shaoqing to a meal?" she asked while tugging at Fu Chengyan's sleeve.

Fu Chengyan squinted, his eyes turning cold. "What do you mean by 'drowning yourself in work'? All you did was stand around and watch. Don't think I don't know what you were just up to!" he warned. "You'd better not bother us for the next few months. Of course, I won't bother you either."

Su Shaoqing's lips twitched. "Why are you making such a fuss, Chengyan?" You're acting like your wife's the only woman who's pregnant!

He couldn't stand how Fu Chengyan was taking the whole situation out of proportion. "Shi Nuan's just pregnant. It's not like she's terminally ill! Do you really have to be this careful?"

Su Shaoqing felt a chill run down his spine the moment he finished speaking. Fu Chengyan's gaze was so icy that it could kill.

"Okay, okay! I shouldn't have said that!" Su Shaoqing shrugged helplessly. "Okay, do what you want. Don't make it sound as if I can't stop clinging to you. I get along with Shi Nuan, but that doesn't mean I want to see you."

With a huff, Fu Chengyan left the hospital while holding Shi Nuan's hand.

Just as they exited, a breeze came by, causing Shi Nuan to shudder involuntarily. Fu Chengyan immediately took off his coat and draped it over Shi Nuan's shoulders. "Are you still feeling cold?" His tone sounded extraordinarily gentle. Shi Nuan smiled. "Nope."

"You should wear more layers when you go out from now on. Your hands are freezing! What if you catch a cold?" Fu Chengyan held her hands in his, and the warmth made Shi Nuan's heart flutter as she blushed.

Fu Chengyan normally treated her well enough, but Shi Nuan could feel that he was being extra attentive today. Moreover, the way he was so careful about everything amused her.

"Honestly, Yan, you don't have to be so nervous. I've only just gotten pregnant. Besides, the doctor said I'm in great health and everything's normal, so our babies will be the healthiest children ever." While speaking, Shi Nuan subconsciously caressed her flat tummy. Even now, she still couldn't believe that such a thing was happening.

There was now life inside this flat tummy of hers. Even though Shi Nuan couldn't feel the babies' presence yet, she knew it wasn't her mind playing tricks on her. The woman could somehow feel that the babies were happily moving about inside her.

Her smile widened as she stroked her own belly gently. Seeing her smile made Fu Chengyan smile too. His gentle gaze was fixed on Shi Nuan.

Fu Ling caught sight of this just as she showed up-Fu Chengyan gazing at Shi Nuan as though she was everything and nothing else existed. Meanwhile, Shi Nuan smiled gently while lowering her head, looking just like a first-time mother.

Fu Ling subconsciously clenched her fists and looked down, touching her own flat belly before gazing at the happy couple once again. Her gaze darkened as she smiled wryly.

At this time, Fu Chengyan and Shi Nuan spotted Fu Ling too. Choosing not to hide, Fu Ling took a deep breath and headed over. "Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Fu!"

Shi Nuan looked astonished to hear her greeting, while Fu Chengyan's expression remained calm. Gazing at Fu Ling's slightly pale face, he nodded and grunted in response.

Fu Ling curled her lips. "I heard you're pregnant, Mrs. Fu. Congratulations!"

"Thank you!" Truthfully, Shi Nuan didn't know much about Fu Ling, aside from the woman's relationship with Fu Chengyan, the Fu clan, as well as Su Shaoqing. In addition to what Fu Chengyan had told her previously, she wasn't aware of anything else.

However, Shi Nuan could tell that Fu Ling was apprehensive about Fu Chengyan.

Something tells me that she's not a bad person. She probably just doesn't know how to deal with Yan. Besides, Yan isn't one to express his feelings.

Despite Fu Chengyan looking emotionless, those who understood him well would have realized the way he froze-albeit for a brief moment-when Fu Ling referred to him as Mr. Fu. It happened for just a split second, but Shi Nuan had felt it.

Shi Nuan's grip on Fu Chengyan's hand tightened slightly, and she gave his palm a squeeze. "Yan and I are going to grab a bite soon, Ling. Would you like to join us?" she asked, smiling at Fu Ling.
