I Want a Lifetime with You
Chapter 91

Shi Nuan had said that she wanted to eat those foods, but of course it was impossible to finish all that greasy food in one sitting. The two went to the supermarket to buy some ingredients together.

After they got back, Fu Chengyan needed to attend to some matters, so Shi Nuan offered to cook. Fu Chengyan did not turn her down. He told Shi Nuan that one or two dishes would be enough for the both of them.

After Shi Nuan finished cooking, she went upstairs to look for Fu Chengyan. She realized that he was not in his study room and paused slightly when she saw the documents on his desk. She picked it up to have a glance. She was rather surprised by what she saw and frowned.

Right when Fu Chengyan came in, he happened to see Shi Nuan with her eyebrows furrowed. He smiled and understood her confusion when he saw the documents in Shi Nuan's hands. "Ask me anything you want to ask!"

"You are going to contract Shi Wei? No, before that, did you invest in a filming company?" Shi Nuan was a jumble of emotions. She thought that after all the time she had spent with Fu Chengyan, she should know him more or less.

Fu Chengyan took the documents from Shi Nuan's hands and gently squeezed her wrists, "Did you come to get me for dinner?"

Shi Nuan nodded, then looked at Fu Chengyan again, "It's okay if you don't want to tell me about it."

Fu Chengyan laughed ruffled Shi Nuan's silky hair with his hand, making it an adorable mess. Shi Nuan had been feeling a bit emotional after learning about Shi Wei's contract, and his gestures did not help at all. She swatted his hand away and said, "Don't mess with my hair!"

"Well, look at you. You normally have a good temper. I didn't expect there to be times when you are rebellious!" Fu Chengyan's voice was overflowing with affection for the woman before him.

Shi Nuan was still sulking, so his adoring tone went over her head. "You are the rebellious one, mind your words!"

Fu Chengyan held Shi Nuan's hand and led her downstairs. "The filming company is an investment I made a few years ago. However, I entrusted it to Zhou Zheng and his people, so they're the ones managing it now. Shi Wei had convinced Fu Xicheng to come to me for help," Fu Chengyan explained.

"So you just agreed to help? You know exactly what had happened between me and Shi Wei..." Shi Nuan could not understand Fu Chengyan's plan and felt slightly betrayed.

"Just trust me!" said Fu Chengyan as he squeezed Shi Nuan's hands to comfort her. "Let's eat first. I have something to give you later."

Fu Chengyan was in a pretty good mood. He held Shi Nuan's hand as they went down together. "Didn't I just tell you that one or two dishes would be enough?" Fu Chengyan slightly raised his eyebrows when he saw a table full of scrumptious dishes.

Shi Nuan pursed her lips, "Actually, I'm not as dense as you think. You were the one behind Shi Wei's scandals, right?"

Fu Chengyan's was pulling a chair out for Shi Nuan but he paused and smiled. He knew that Shi Nuan was incredibly smart, which was why he never intended to hide his plans from her. Now that she had guessed it herself, he had no reason to hide, so he nodded in confirmation. "Well, I have to do something, don't I?

After all, you are my wife and you were bullied. I can't just sit there and watch; I have to get back at her! Tolerating injustice is simply not my style!"

Now that Fu Chengyan had explained everything to her, Shi Nuan had a rough idea of why Fu Chengyan chose to help Shi Wei. However, she was still rather surprised, "The Fu Xicheng I know is extremely arrogant and prideful. Even though both of you belong to the Fu clan, it's obvious that he doesn't like you."

Fu Chengyan raised his eyebrows, "My darling is right." Fu Xicheng was around his age, but both of them had completely different encounters. Few years ago, Fu Yuqing had encouraged Fu Xicheng to engage with him more often. However, after he observed Fu Xicheng, he realized that he was not cut out for great achievements.

"But don't forget that one can let go of anything for money and power!" Fu Xicheng just so happened to be that kind of person. Fu Chengyu continued, "The shares in Shi Wei's possession are enough for him to put down his pride. Furthermore, Fu Yuqing is extremely ambitious."

Shi Nuan pursed her lips and nodded, "I understand. Do whatever pleases you. I am totally fine with it."

Now that she understood Fu Chengyan's motives, the anger in her heart dissipated.

Fu Chengyan pulled a chair for himself and sat beside Shi Nuan. He held Shi Nuan's hands and placed them on his knees. Cupping her delicate face with his large hands, he tilted her head gently so their eyes would meet.

Shi Nuan's heart began to pound uncontrollably the moment their eyes locked. She turned her head away to avoid his deep gaze, but Fu Chengyan twisted it back so she would face him. He asked seriously, "Do you trust me?"

Shi Nuan nodded, "Yes!"

Fu Chengyan curled his lips in satisfaction, "Let's eat!"

The two of them had a rather pleasant dinner. After the meal, Shi Nuan started to clear the table but was stopped by Fu Chengyan. "I will do it. House chores are a responsibility for both husband and wife." Shi Nuan felt warm spread through her heart, and she gladly accepted his help. She stepped aside and watched as Fu Chengyan cleared away the leftovers washed the dishes.

It just so happened that Shi Nuan got a phone call. It was from Jiang Yu. "Shi Nuan, come over to the hospital now!" She sounded urgent through the phone.

Shi Nuan knitted her eyebrows. She did not want to have anything to do with Jiang Yu, but blood was thicker water. She could not deny her familial ties. When she heard Jiang Yu mention the hospital, she began to panic. "What happened?"

"How dare you ask? You have never even called after all the horrible things happened to your sister. Now that your grandpa is sick, are you going to ignore him too? How could you be so ungrateful?" "What did you just say? Say that again! What happened to grandpa?" All Shi Nuan could think of was her grandpa. She could not be bothered by anything else Jiang Yu said.

"It's all because of you! Tell me, bitch. What did you tell grandpa? You coaxed grandpa with your sweet talk, you..." Jiang Yu sounded so frustrated.

"That's enough! Which hospital exactly? I will go over right now!" Shi Nuan yelled into the speaker.

Jiang Yu never expected Shi Nuan to yell at her. She paused momentarily before she told her the name of the hospital, "Municipal Hospital."

Shi Nuan quickly hung up after she got the answer. Jiang Yu came back to her senses, and stared at her phone. "Bitch."

"How is it going? What did Shi Nuan say?" Shi Wei reached out for Jiang Yu's hands when she saw her frustration. "Mommy, don't worry. Grandpa could be lying to us. How could Grandpa do this?

I don't believe it," said Shi Wei. Although she was comforting her mom, her heart was filled with hatred. "How come that bitch, Shi Nuan gets everything?" She thought to herself.

How could both grandpas favor that bitch? I am obviously the stronger and more capable sibling. However, both of them are so kind to Shi Nuan, and they prioritize her in everything.

"I didn't want to believe it, but your grandpa..." Jiang Yu was so furious. She lifted her head and looked at Shi Jingzheng, who had been quiet this whole time, "Won't you say something?"

"What do you want me to say? That you angered my old man so badly that he had a stroke and had to be admitted to hospital? I am telling you, Jiang Yu, if my dad can't pull this through, then we are over!" Shi Jingzheng glared at Jiangyu angrily.

"Why are you getting angry at me? Should I be the one to be blamed? This happened because the old man was biased! Think about the things that I have contributed to the Shi family all these years. But that old man? He still refuses to accept me!"

"That's enough! Let's just wait until my father is awake," said Shi Jingzheng. He was overwhelmed by what had happened.

Right after Shi Nuan ended the call, she quickly called Mr. Yang and learned that her grandpa, Shi Yunsheng, had an argument with Shi Jingzheng and Jiang Yu today over the Shi family's shares. Grandpa had refused Jiang Yu's proposal for a share allotment, hence the conversation turned into an argument.

Shi Nuan hurriedly went upstairs to get changed. Fu Chengyan emerged from the kitchen just as she got back. Judging by Shi Nuan's outfit, Fu Chengyan could tell that she was prepared to go out. "What happened? Are you leaving?" Fu Chengyan noticed her panicked expression.

"Grandpa was admitted to the hospital, I have to go and check on him," said Shi Nuan while she grabbed the car keys and prepared to leave. Fu Chengyan stopped her and said, "Wait for me, I will go with you."

"No. Shi family would probably overthink with your presence. Grandpa was admitted to the hospital because they wanted a share allotment, and I'll need to settle it," Shi Nuan refused. Guilt tore Shi Nuan apart when she realized that her grandpa's hospital admission was related to her.

Fu Chengyan's eyes shone with determinations and he grabbed Shi Nuan's hand, "Even more reason for me to go."

"But..." There was another reason Shi Nuan refused to let Fu Chengyan accompany her. She was worried that Fu Chengyan would receive the same treatment as Yun Shen. The Shi family would cling to Fu Chengyan like a leech and disrupt his life.

Shi Nuan knew her parents too well. They were definitely capable of this.

"End of discussion, I will go with you. I will wait at the ground floor instead of going up," Fu Chengyan quickly went upstairs to get his outerwear. Then, he grabbed Shi Nuan, who was still in a daze, and they left together.

He quickly ushered Shi Nuan into the passenger seat. Fu Chengyan started the ignition and they sped to the hospital as quickly as possible.

Fu Chengyan parked the car at a rather secluded spot. Just as Shi Nuan opened the door to step out of the car, Fu Chengyan reached out and grabbed her hand, "May."

Shi Nuan looked like she was on the verge of breaking down. She turned around anxiously, "Anything else?"

"Nothing, just stay safe. Let me know if anything happens. Just remember, I will be here, no matter what happens," Fu Chengyan promised and patted Shi Nuan hand.

"Sure," Shi Nuan felt the warmth he brought her instantly calmed down. She nodded and said, "Fu Chengyan, when grandpa gets better, I will officially introduce you to him.

Fu Chengyan curled his lips and to touched Shi Nuan's hair with his slender fingers. He looked at Shi Nuan gently, "I thought you would bring me to your maternal grandpa first." Shi Nuan paused, looking confused. "Why is that?"

Fu Chengyan shook his head, "Off you go."

"Okay."

Shi Nuan opened the door and got out of the car. She gave Fu Chengyan a parting glance and hurriedly walked into the hospital.

When Shi Nuan got to the emergency room, all of Shi family members were already gathered there. Jiang Yu was the first person to notice Shi Nuan. She immediately rushed over and slapped Shi Nuan across her face. "Look at what you have done, bitch! Your grandpa suffered from a stroke and got admitted because of you!"

Shi Nuan never expected Jiang Yu to slap her so suddenly. She covered her reddened cheek with a hand and stared at Jiang Yu in shock. "I don't know what you are talking about. How is grandpa now?" Shi Nuan was not in the mood to discuss the issue with Jiang Yu now. All she cared about was grandpa's condition.

Shi Nuan's behavior made fury course through Jiang Yu's veins. "Don't you know? What sorcery did you do to make your grandpa grant you all the shares? Bitch, tell me what's your agenda!" yelled Jiang Yu. She was hysterical and tried to physically assault her daughter.

Shi Nuan would not stand for it, so she grabbed Jiang Yu's hand and stared at her menacingly. "I used to think that you are my mother and that I owe you because you raised me. Now, it doesn't seem necessary because you never treated me as your daughter."

Shi Nuan pushed Jiang Yu away fiercely, "It's grandpa's right to decide if he wants to give me the shares! On what grounds can you argue with grandpa? Don't assume that I have no clue about what you guys have done to grandpa. I am not in a mood to discuss this with you now, so get out of my way!"
