I Want A Lifetime With You

Chapter 65

Shi Nuan turned to Fu Chengyan with a flushed face and felt rather embarrassed, “Girls do like a domineering guy to some extent!” Fu Chengyan looked slightly doubtful, then she added, “I’m serious. But the movie is a little overdramatic. I’d rather go for a regular guy if a guy were to act like this in real life.”

“Mhm!” Fu Chengyan raised an eyebrow. He didn’t refute her but didn’t say anything else either.

Feeling rather awkward, Shi Nuan shifted her gaze to the huge screen. Fu Chengyan was constantly holding her left hand, she felt extraordinary, and her heart couldn’t stop pounding.

“Hmm… My hand is sweating.” Shi Nuan spoke carefully.

Hearing that, Fu Chengyan looked at Shi Nuan thoughtfully. He opened up Shi Nuan’s palm, placed it on his own thigh, and rubbed it against his pants.

Shi Nuan was dumbfounded.

“How am I going to eat?” Shi Nuan asked. “Fu Chengyan, can you stop being so—” Before she could say the word ‘childish,’ Fu Chengyan had already used his other hand to grab a popcorn and put it in her mouth.

Shi Nuan’s eyes widened as she stared at Fu Chengyan in disbelief. She couldn’t figure out what that man was thinking in his mind.

“Swallow it!” Fu Chengyan’s low voice sounded so pleasant. It sounded better than the male lead’s voice in the movie.

Shi Nuan remembered how Song Rongrong and Su Yian fawn over voice actors. They would talk about how those men had such beautiful voices that could impregnate one’s ears.

Shi Nuan used to think her friends were so dramatic. Looking at Fu Chengyan and hearing his voice, she now realized nothing was exaggerating about what her friends used to say.

“Why are you looking at me?” Fu Chengyan asked while smiling. “I thought you wanted to eat?”

Shi Nuan quickly swallowed her popcorn. Just as she felt thirsty, Fu Chengyan brought a Coke cup in front of her with his slender arms.

Shi Nuan’s eyes widened, but she remained unmoved. “Don’t choke yourself while eating,” Fu Chengyan said patiently. “Take a sip, but don’t drink too much.” Shi Nuan subconsciously opened her mouth to drink the Coke. After that, she realized that they were both behaving unusually.

Shortly after, Shi Nuan heard a woman from behind saying, “Look, how good that guy is! He is not only here for the movie, but that man is feeding his girl! What about you? You kept saying ‘NO’ when I invited you to watch this movie and even fell asleep here.”

“If you’re jealous of other people, why don’t you date someone else?” NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

“You…”

A speechless Shi Nuan turned her head and took a glance from the corner of her eye to determine the couple’s location. She then turned back to face Fu Chengyan and pointed to herself. “Is she talking about us?”

“Are we not like a couple?” Fu Chengyan asked in return, smiling. “Do you want more?”

“That’s not the point, OK? The point is we’re being watched!” Shi Nuan didn’t feel good. They were in a public place, and being watched by other people made her feel uncomfortable, especially when she was being used as someone else’s example.

Fu Chengyan didn’t seem to care. “That shows how different we are from the crowd. Eat up!” he said as he picked up another popcorn with his slender fingers. Shi Nuan couldn’t help but think that the Creator did practice favoritism when creating human beings.

Fu Chengyan was probably one of the favorites. He didn’t only have a brilliant mind and captivating appearance – even his fingers looked so stunning. Just an act of him holding a pen or picking up a popcorn was a beautiful sight.

“Wow! They’re so sweet. Why do you think I invited you to a movie with me? As if all the P.D.A in the movie isn’t enough; now we’re seeing P.D.A in real life too! You idiot!”

“Why are you being so unreasonable today?” a man asked unhappily.

“What? Say that again!” The girl responded rudely.

“I said you’re being unreasonable!”

“You don’t love me anymore.”

“Do I have to put on a show like them just to prove that I love you?”

Shi Nuan was speechless. Why were she and Fu Chengyan getting caught up in other people’s crossfire? She turned to Fu Chengyan. “He said we’re putting on a show!”

“Hmm, that’s just a sign of jealousy!” Fu Chengyan concluded as he placed another popcorn in Shi Nuan’s mouth. “Eat up!”

Shi Nuan was speechless once again. Sometimes, she felt that she was just childish.

In reality, what that guy said earlier made perfect sense. She and Fu Chengyan really weren’t a real couple, but she dared not say this aloud. Even if they weren’t a couple, they were husband and wife!

Besides, Fu Chengyan’s little actions truly were so heartwarming that Shi Nuan felt proud as a woman. At that very moment, she enjoyed how well she got along with Fu Chengyan.

The movie finally ended. Shi Nuan had practically finished the popcorn on her own, along with the two cups of Coke.

When the two walked out of the movie theater, Shi Nuan didn’t feel too good.

She felt like her belly was about to explode. “It’s all your fault! Why did you feed me so much popcorn?”

“I thought you love eating!” Fu Chengyan lowered his gaze and looked at Shi Nuan’s belly. “It does look a little rounder now!” he said candidly.

“Fu Chengyan!” Shi Nuan gritted her teeth. “Can’t you say something nicer!?”

Fu Chengyan laughed. His mood brightened, seeing Shi Nuan grit her teeth like that. He reached out to wrap Shi Nuan’s hand with his. “OK, what do you want me to say then?”

“What do you think?”

“No matter how round or flat you are, I like you as long as it’s you’?” he grinned.

Shi Nuan bit her lip and pulled her hand away from Fu Chengyan’s. “You’re so annoying!”

She walked straight ahead. A grin worked its way into Fu Chengyan’s eyes. Seeing the girl in front of him he smiled helplessly, then strode over to her, and held her hand.

Feeling some warmth on her hand, Shi Nuan looked down to see Fu Chengyan holding it once again and smiled. “Shall we go home?”

“Yeah, or do you still want to walk around?” he replied. “If you like shopping, I’ll go with you!”

“That’s not it!” Shi Nuan shook her head and bit her lip. “My car is still at the tea house! Did you forget about it?”

Fu Chengyan said with a grin, “It’s fine. I already asked Zhou Zheng to take your car home. Don’t worry!”

“When was that?” Shi Nuan was shocked. “But the keys…” Nevermind. Fu Chengyan has his ways. Besides, he’s much more thorough than I am, so he surely got everything planned out.

“Do you still want to walk around?”

“Is that OK?” Shi Nuan gave it a thought. “Won’t people recognize you?”

Fu Chengyan felt amused by how cautious Shi Nuan was. “Do you think I’m some huge celebrity who’d get surrounded by the crowds?” Fu Chengyan reached out to poke Shi Nuan’s nose. “What are you thinking?”

Shi Nuan responded with a pout, “Hmm? But aren’t successful businessmen like you always as famous as celebrities?” She would often hear rumors about people from the corporate world coming from the entertainment industry, so she thought Fu Chengyan was one of such people.

Fu Chengyan smiled. “Those are other people, not me. No one dares report about me, nor do people know what I look like. So you don’t have to worry about your husband being surrounded by women who have all sorts of hidden motives, May.”

Shi Nuan was flabbergasted. This man always seemed to have the ability to distort any truth she said into something of his own preference. “That won’t do either. Didn’t you promise to keep our relationship secret for now? Won’t people find out if they were to see us together?”

“Why do you keep thinking about such things?” Fu Chengyan asked in frustration. “Why is it so hard to just watch a movie and go shopping with my wife?”

“You think I am not aware that this mall belongs to Shengyuan?” Shi Nuan pursed her lips. She didn’t actually know until she remembered how someone once said that Shengyuan’s shopping malls were all over Jiang City. It was practically a monopoly. Thus, any domestic or foreign brand that wished to enter Jiang City had to go through Shengyuan first.

When Fucheng had plans to develop its own brand, it also wanted to enter Shengyuan’s shopping malls. Shi Nuan recalled that the company had managed to obtain Shengyuan’s approval but couldn’t set up its outlets in every mall.

“I work at Fucheng anyway, so I absolutely know about these things.”

“Oh?” Fu Chengyan’s gaze narrowed as the smile in his eyes shone more visibly. “So are you saying we can’t walk around?”

Shi Nuan nodded solemnly. “It’s getting late anyway.”

“Don’t worry. If this mall belongs to me, not all the managers here can recognize me,” Fu Chengyan said with a smile. “Do you think I’m that easy to come across?”

Shi Nuan opened her mouth to speak, only to be dragged forward by Fu Chengyan. “Since we’re starting as a normal couple, the first step is to go shopping and watch a movie, so I’ll shop with you!”

Fu Chengyan sounded so decisive that Shi Nuan didn’t even have a chance to refute him.

Shi Nuan felt rather passive, being led by him, but that man didn’t walk fast. It seemed more like he was going along with her pace.

She wore heels on that day. They weren’t very high, but it was natural that she felt uncomfortable since she had worn them all day. Shi Nuan had already felt her legs hurting long ago, but as a woman, she had to go through a little bit of pain for the sake of beauty. It was not a big deal for her.

Fu Chengyan walked in front of Shi Nuan, with his arm stretched out behind him to hold her hand. The woman was about half a step behind him, then she lifted her chin to look at the back of Fu Chengyan’s head.

He was tall – so tall that she had to straighten her neck to look at him despite wearing heels.

It was as though Fu Chengyan knew Shi Nuan was looking at him, so he stopped for a moment and glanced at her sideways. “Tired?”
