I Want a Lifetime with You
Chapter 96

When Shi Nuan reached the hospital, the doctor made sure that Shi Yunsheng was over the hump before sending him out of the Intensive Care Unit.

Shi Yunsheng requested the doctor to keep everyone away except for Shi Nuan when he woke up from the coma. The doctor who was the same one who operated on him and remembered Shi Nuan's name. He accepted his request as he could recognize the girl named Shi Nuan.

That was why the other Shi family members were not allowed to enter the ward without Shi Yunsheng's permission. The doctor was worried that Shi Yunsheng would have a stroke if he got agitated again. Jiang Yu was displeased with the hospital management and threatened to sue them. Shi Jingzheng sat quietly beside her, but he was obviously unhappy. He was devastated at his father's refusal to meet him after he woke up.

Shi Wei disguised herself and wore a pair of glasses. She had to be cautious of the paparazzi and not make things worse for herself. Though she was frustrated at Jiang Yu's temper, she was livid the moment she thought of the mastermind behind all the incidents.

"Stop it, Mother!"

"Stop? Did you see their attitude? How could they stop us from meeting our family?" She wanted to know if Shi Yunsheng was fine and force him to take back his shares from Shi Nuan.

Shi Nuan heard Jiang Yu's sharp voice as she arrived. The woman saw her too and rushed towards her immediately.

Owing to last night's experience, Shi Nuan evaded Jiang Yu, which caused her to be unhappy. "Why are you here, you wretch?"

"I'm here to visit Grandpa." Shi Nuan stared coldly at Jiang Yu. She wanted to make her way into the ward but was stopped by Jiang Yu. "No one can enter the ward if things are not settled here!"

"Let go!" Shi Nuan didn't expect Jiang Yu to be so persistent. After all, she was a descendant from a renowned family. As compared to her well-educated grandfather who was a lecturer at a university— she didn't know what went wrong with her mother's temperament.

Shi Nuan shook Jiang Yu off and glared at her. Jiang Yu was petrified by that look as if it that woman was looking down at her.

Impossible! She's not her!

She let go of her in a daze. The nurse came over and saw Shi Nuan as she approached the ward, "Are you Shi Nuan?"

"Yes, I am." Shi Nuan nodded.

"You're right on time. The old man was looking for you. Please follow me."

"Okay!" Shi Nuan nodded and followed the nurse.

The nurse alerted Shi Yunsheng as she finished changing his drip, "Sir, your granddaughter is here."

As Shi Yunsheng confirmed that it was Shi Nuan, he shouted, "Nuannuan!"

"Grandpa!" Shi Nuan placed down her belongings carefully with tears in her eyes, "I'm sorry for being late."

"Silly child!" Shi Yunsheng held her hand, "Are you feeling better, Grandpa?"

"Yes, much better." Shi Yunsheng spoke feebishly while staring outside. Shi Nuan nodded and asked, "They're outside and they knew what you did, Grandpa. Did my mother quarrel with you?"

"As expected!" Shi Yunsheng shook his head, "I'd expected them to do so, but I was too old to handle them." He sighed, "Nuan, I don't plan to take the shares back now that they're yours. I have to do it even if they make things difficult for you. I will leave this world one day, so I had to pass Huancheng to you before it fell into outsiders' hands. Do you understand?"

Shi Nuan was stunned.

Shi Yunsheng squinted his eyes, "You're not willing?"

Shi Nuan felt bad and replied, "No, Grandpa. Please don't be mad at me."

"Tell me about it. I can take it." Shi Yunsheng was clear-minded after what had happened yesterday. Would he be scared of anything now that he escaped death?

Shi Nuan hesitated and said, "I sold the shares, Grandpa."

"What?" Shi Yunsheng was shocked, "Why did you do so? Explain it to grandpa."

Shi Yunsheng knew Shi Nuan well, and was sure that she had her reasons for doing so.

Shi Nuan nodded at his clarity and smiled, "I'm married, Grandpa."

"You're..." Shi Yunsheng was shocked again, "Nuan, was it because of Fu Xicheng..."

"No, Grandpa. He was nice to me, and you know him too." Shi Nuan smiled genuinely when she spoke about Fu Chengyan.

Shi Yunsheng knew that she wasn't lying. She was married to the right man. However, she said that he knew him. "Who is it?"

"It's Fu Chengyan, Grandpa. The one who gifted you the jade chessboard on your birthday."

"It's him?" Shi Yunsheng remembered who he was. That man exuded the most outstanding aura of all the guests that night. "He came for you instead of the Fu family that night?" Shi Yunsheng asked. Shi Nuan nodded, "Yes, he was the one who saved me too." Shi Nuan told him briefly about what had happened.

Shi Yunsheng knew that something had happened that night, but he didn't ask about it in fears that he might hurt Shi Nuan's feelings. If Fu Chengyan was the one who saved her, he should be relieved that nothing had happed to her.

"Then? You're married, but what about your shares?"

"Yes, Grandpa. I've given them to him. Will you be mad at me?" Shi Nuan asked carefully in fear of his temper. Shi Yunsheng shook his head, "Why should I, silly girl? You can handle them however you want with your spouse. But I need to know if you're sure about it."

Shi Nuan nodded. "Huancheng would not fall to Fu Xicheng's hands with Fu Chengyan's ability and status if he decides to intervene. Besides, I didn't give him the shares just like that," Shi Nuan smiled, "He gave me Xinhuang Entertainment in return."

Shi Yunsheng was shocked once again at the name of the familiar and renowned entertainment company, "Xinhuang Entertainment?" Fu Chengyan had many investments, and had collaborations with many companies. Therefore, he knew about Xinhuang Entertainment.

He didn't expect that Fu Chengyan would help Shi Nuan to such an extent, but he was relieved about it.

He tapped Shi Nuan's hand with a warm smile, "Good for you, my child. I knew you would replace someone right who truly cares for you."

"Yes, Grandpa. He treats me well," Shi Nuan smiled shyly, "Should I bring him to meet you formally after you recover?"

"Of course!" Shi Yunsheng was happy that her granddaughter would introduce her husband to him. He couldn't wait to leave the hospital right away to meet him.

Shi Nuan knew that Shi Yunsheng was delighted, but it was not the right time. "Don't get agitated, Grandpa. I can ask him to visit you in the hospital if you want. But I wanted to make it a little more formal.” "Sure!" Shi Yunsheng reassured Shi Nuan, "But about your marriage to Fu Chengyan, do your parents..."

"You're the only one who knows." Shi Nuan's lips twitched, "I didn't want them or anyone else to know about our marriage."

Shi Nuan had her own considerations; her marriage with Fu Chengyan was none of anyone's business.

Besides, wouldn't Shi Jingzheng and Jiang Yu pester Fu Chengyan if they knew about it? She didn't want that to happen.

Shi Yunsheng was conscious about it. "I meant to tell you about this too. I have no opinions about your marriage, but I want you to be happy. What about Fu Chengyan's family?"

"Don't worry. He'll bring me to meet his family when things are settled." Shi Nuan's phone started ringing, and she let out a smile when she saw that it was her husband calling her. "I'm picking up a call, Grandpa."

"Hello, Yan!"

Fu Chengyan's meeting had just ended, and decided to call Shi Nuan to check on her. He smiled happily when she called his name, "Good girl, say it again!"

Shi Nuan staggered, "What?" As she realized what he meant, she blushed and covered her face, "No way! I'm with Grandpa now, he's awake."

"Hmm." Fu Chengyan sat down and signaled at his secretary to leave, "How's Grandpa?"

"The doctor said that he's fine, but he needs to recuperate in peace. By the way, I told Grandpa about us." Shi Nuan said while staring at Shi Yunsheng, "Do you want to speak to Yan, Grandpa?" "It's okay, you can go ahead," Shi Yunsheng refused.

"Okay!" Shi Nuan tucked Shi Yunsheng in his blanket and tugged at her shirt, "I'll introduce you to Grandpa when he feels better."
