I Want A Lifetime With You

Chapter 71

Fu Chengyan’s gaze was a little scorching. Shi Nuan was certain his penetrative gaze had unveiled her intention. She shot a shy look at Fu Chengyan. “You don’t want me to ruin your reputation, right?”

Fu Chengyan shook his head in resignation. Shi Nuan came up with that excuse as she was afraid of losing. A moment ago, she was excited for the race but now her courage is all gone.

“Hmm?”

Shi Nuan’s flushed a bright red. “Fine. I’m afraid of losing!” She continued, “Hurry!”

Fu Chengyan nodded and walked up to the group of racers. “How does this competition work?”

One of them glanced at Fu Chengyan and was about to say something when his friend cut him off. “Let’s do it the old way. The first one who reaches the top of the mountain wins. But bro, your car… Should we give way to you?”

The redhead seemed bold as he said, “If you can overtake any of us, you’ll be considered the winner!”

“Okay, it’s a deal.” Shi Nuan hurriedly answered. “You said it yourself. As long as we overtake any of you, we’re the winner!”

Fu Chengyan’s eyes glistened as he glanced at Shi Nuan from the corner of his eyes. Shi Nuan stuck her tongue out and stepped back automatically. Fu Chengyan was amused. Does she think I’ll lose?

But the racers are well-equipped. They are indeed professional racers. ”Okay.” He said, “Let’s go!”

“Okay!” Redhead agreed readily. He was certain the Bentley wasn’t a match for their racing cars, no matter how expensive it was. If Fu Chengyan overtook any of them, it would be entirely because of his driving skills.

Fu Chengyan got into his car and checked their seatbelts. He glanced at Shi Nuan. “Can you take it if I speed up?” Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Shi Nuan thought about it. She drove quite fast earlier and it seemed fine to her. Hence, she nodded. “Yes.”

“Buckle up!”

The onlooking racers watched as Fu Chengyan and Shi Nuan got into their car. The man who got cut off by Redhead asked, “Bro, look at their number plate. Isn’t that—”

“Isn’t what? Hurry, get into your car!” Redhead waved him off impatiently. “Be alert. If he overtakes any of us, that will be damn humiliating.” The redhead got into his car coolly. At the snap of his fingers, all the cars sped off like arrows that just left the bow.

Fu Chengyan floored the accelerator and went after them. The sudden impact threw Shi Nuan forward.

She glanced at the man who was in the driver’s seat, feeling shocked. There was even fear lingering in her chest.

She thought she drove fast enough but Fu Chengyan floored the accelerator in an instant. The car’s speed increased sharply. She was no match for him.

Shi Nuan was in disbelief as Fu Chengyan kept building up the car’s speed and finally overtook two cars at the first corner. She grabbed the armrest as her eyes widened in shock. “You…”

Shi Nuan knew nothing about cars but this car was obviously an SUV that couldn’t be compared to those professional racing cars. She might be imagining things but it somehow felt like Fu Chengyan was driving a racing car.

Fu Chengyan thinned his lips as he stared ahead. His serious expression mesmerized Shi Nuan.

Shi Nuan grabbed the armrest again as Fu Chengyan sped up. He overtook another car at the next corner.

The woman could feel the wind roaring in her ears. It was an inexplicable feeling. Her throat jumped to her heart and she was going to yell out the next minute.

When Fu Chengyan overtook another car, Shi Nuan heard someone cursing loudly, “Holy shit! He’s damn good at this!”

Shi Nuan pursed her lips as she studied Fu Chengyan through the dim light illuminating the car. The man was right. Fu Chengyan was damn good at this.

Shi Nuan stared at the calm man and bit her lips. “Were you a racer?”

Fu Chengyan raised his brows and smirked. “Did I frighten you?”

Shi Nuan shook her head. She was worried because Fu Chengyan was concentrated on talking to her now. “I won’t talk to you. Focus on driving.” She pondered for a while before saying, “Actually, you’ll win as long as the last car doesn’t overtake us.”

Fu Chengyan’s lips curled up into a smirk. The way he smirked seemed attractive to Shi Nuan. “Don’t worry.”

“I’m not worried. Anyway, just focus on driving.”

“No.”

“Ah?” Shi Nuan was taken aback. She was confused by the man’s reply out of nowhere. “What?”

“I wasn’t a racer.” He chuckled. “I enjoyed racing when I was young. It was nothing.”

Shi Nuan’s lips twitched. How could Fu Chengyan’s driving skills be nothing? Those professional racers would be upset if they heard him say that.

“Buckle up.” Fu Chengyan told her. Immediately, a bright yellow car sped up and overtook Fu Chengyan. The driver wound down his car window and waved at Fu Chengyan to provoke him. “Bye, bro!”

Fu Chengyan’s lips thinned as he picked up speed again.

They were racing on the mountain, so the surroundings were dead silent except for the occasional roars of the speeding cars.

Shi Nuan’s gaze was fixated on Fu Chengyan. The man was driving so calmly that he didn’t seem to be in a race! If Shi Nuan didn’t witness the speedometer moving up, she would have thought Fu Chengyan was just taking a casual stroll in the yard.

“Say something!” Fu Chengyan’s cold voice rang out.

Shi Nuan was taken aback, “What should I say?”

“Anything!” Fu Chengyan’s lips curved up. “Don’t forget our intention in the first place.”

Shi Nuan frowned as she recalled that she started racing because she had been in a foul mood. If Fu Chengyan didn’t remind her, she would’ve forgotten about it. She glared at Fu Chengyan, “Could you not remind me about that?”

“We have to solve the problem, anyway. Do you feel better now?”

Fu Chengyan maintained his speed. He didn’t overtake the car in front of him but at the same time, he refused to let others overtake him. The man started chatting to Shi Nuan casually. “Hmm?”

“No. If you can overtake everyone, I might feel much better.” Shi Nuan said deliberately. “But I don’t think you can do that.”

“Really?” Fu Chengyan smirked. “Since you said that, darling, if I don’t win this race, I’m afraid I’ll disappoint you.” Fu Chengyan turned to look at her. “Sit tight!” At the next corner, the man sped up and whizzed pass the rest of the cars in one shot. Everything happened in a flash.

Shi Nuan stared at Fu Chengyan in shock before turning to look behind them.

The other cars were left behind, struggling to keep up with them. “How did you do that?” She demanded.

But before Shi Nuan could finish her question, Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes. “Sit back.” He stepped on the gas again as they sped along the rugged road on the mountain.

“Damn it!” Redhead who had maintained his position in the first place cursed when he saw Fu Chengyan speeding up on the most dangerous part of the mountain road. “Does he have a death wish?”

Normally, they’d cut down their speed when they reached that part but Fu Chengyan sped up instead.

Shi Nuan gripped the armrest with all her might. She felt her entire body numbing up. Her heart was lodged in her throat. Right this moment, she had no other choice than to trust Fu Chengyan.

But to Shi Nuan’s utter disbelief, the car gradually stopped. Shi Nuan turned and stared blankly at Fu Chengyan. “What’s wrong?”

Fu Chengyan smiled and switched off the engine. He wound up the windows before pulling Shi Nuan into his arms for a hug. “Are you afraid?”

Shi Nuan swallowed hard. She felt like she had just been reborn again. She wrapped her arms tightly around Fu Chengyan’s waist boldly. Her body was still trembling but she stubbornly denied it. “N-No, I’m not afraid!”

Fu Chengyan broke out in laughter. He held her close while tousling her hair. The man ran his long and slender fingers through her hair and patted her back consolingly. “Mmm, don’t be afraid.”

Shi Nuan took a deep breath as she hugged Fu Chengyan tight. Fu Chengyan’s body had a lemon scent which attacked her nostrils almost immediately. There was also a slight hint of tobacco but it felt strangely comforting to her.

Slowly, Shi Nuan calmed down. She pulled away from his embrace. At the very next second, she raised her head and pressed her lips to his.

Fu Chengyan’s brows raised up in surprise at the light kiss. The next second, he pulled Shi Nuan closer and captured her lips with his.

He had kissed her before but Shi Nuan was unconscious back then. This time, she was wide awake.

The man sensed that Shi Nuan was taken aback and was trying to retreat, hence he grabbed the back of her head and deepened the kiss instead.

Shi Nuan was a novice at kissing so she was rendered helpless- she could only follow his lead. Her body relaxed as her hands slid around his neck, kissing him back passionately.

The woman flushed red and her eyes were moist. One by one, the remaining racing cars raced past them as they kissed each other passionately in the car.

At last, Fu Chengyan released Shi Nuan, and leaned his forehead against hers. Both of them were panting a little. Fu Chengyan held Shi Nuan’s hands and squeezed them lightly. His coarse hands

caressed her soft and delicate skin, sending tremors throughout her body.

Shi Nuan gasped as she belatedly realized what she had just done. “I…”

Fu Chengyan pulled her into his arms and chuckled slowly. “Isn’t it too late to feel shy?”

Shi Nuan blushed a bright red. She shoved Fu Chengyan away. The man was radiating with happiness. She bit her lips and told him, “What? I was going to remind you we’re going to lose!”

Fu Chengyan arched his brows. “Does winning or losing matters to you?”

Shi Nuan shook her head. “No!” She wasn’t thinking of joining the race at first. Since she had witnessed Fu Chengyan’s driving skills, he was already the all-time winner in her heart.
