I Want A Lifetime With You

Chapter 98

“Nuan, wait!”

Fu Xicheng’s voice could be heard when Shi Nuan reached the entrance of the hospital.

Shi Nuan paused and saw Fu Xicheng approaching her. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Fu Xicheng walked up to her briskly and smirked, “Nuan, is what you said true?”

Shi Nuan narrowed her eyes and she eyeballed Fu Xicheng, “Which one are you talking about?” She knew what was on Fu Xicheng’s mind judging by his look and he did not disappoint Shi Nuan when he said, “Mr. Shi really did give you all his shares? You were lying to them when you said that you gave it all to someone else right?”

Shi Nuan laughed at his question, “Did you think I was lying to them?” She did not answer and retorted with another question instead. Her question stumped Fu Xicheng and he furrowed his brows, as if he was discontent at her attitude, “I asked you first.”

Shi Nuan pouted her lips and felt a wave of disgust when talking to Fu Xicheng. She started to question her taste in men. Why did I even fall for a man like Fu Xicheng?

“I don’t think it concerns you whether I have my hands on the shares or not, Mr. Fu! You’re not a member of the Shi family anyway.” Shi Nuan said coolly.

“Of course it does!” Fu Xicheng panicked, “We, you and I…”

“You and I?” Shi Nuan sneered. “There is nothing between us! It doesn’t matter whether it’s on my hands or not. You don’t have the right to know anyway!”

“Nuan!” Fu Xicheng scowled at her, “How could you say that! Have your forgotten how happy you used to be when we were together? How much you loved me? Did you really have a change of heart in such

a short period?”

“Change of heart? Fu Xicheng, do you have no shame?” Shi Nuan boiled with rage at Fu Xicheng’s words and attitude. “Who betrayed whom first? It was you who cheated on me with my sister. Don’t you ever forget that! So don’t come and shamelessly claim that I was the one who had a change of heart. Yes, I did like you a lot but it was all in the past. Do you think I would stoop so low to let you and my sister insult me after what you guys had done? I’m not as shameless as you!”

Shi Nuan gritted her teeth, “What more do you have to say? I don’t want to waste my time talking crap to you here!” Shi Nuan turned around and left but was stopped by Fu Xicheng as he gripped on her arm. “Nuan, do we really have to be like this?”

“You know that I have no feelings toward Shi Wei. You’re the one I love and I am together with her only because of…”

“Enough!” Shi Nuan shrugged him off. She had long moved on from Fu Xicheng. There was no changing her mind about Fu Xicheng, no matter what he said. “It’s none of my business whatever happened between you and Shi Wei.”

“Nuan, how is it none of your business? You’re the one I love, if you…”

“If I what?” Shi Nuan snorted. “Are you going to say that if I were to have the shares of Huancheng, you would not even consider being with Shi Wei? Fu Xicheng, you’re really despicable. Just stop talking if you want to save yourself some pride.”

“Don’t try to stir things up now that you’re already together with Shi Wei. And don’t blame me for not going easy on you because you guys went overboard this time!”

Shi Nuan then walked away without hesitation and sped off after getting in her car.

She had not expected for Fu Xicheng to be such an abhorrent person- someone who was only sucking up to her now that he knew she was Huancheng’s major shareholder. Is he really taking me for a fool? Does he think that I’m at his beck and call?

I will never stoop so low.

Shi Wei stood in the corner and stared at Fu Xicheng and Shi Nuan intently. With both hands gripping onto the wall, she glared viciously at Shi Nuan until she had left. Shi Wei wished for the wall to be Shi Nuan so that she could strangle her to death.

Why, why do both of our grandfathers treat Shi Nuan so well? Grandpa even gave his own shares to that bitch, Shi Nuan. And that Fu Xicheng. She had known that Fu Xicheng was together with her because of the shares in her hands.

But she did not care, as long as she could snatch him from Shi Nuan. She had vowed to take everything away from Shi Nuan, no matter the cost.

Shi Wei breathed in deeply to regain composure of herself as she walked towards Fu Xicheng and reached out to hold his hands. “Xicheng, what did Nuan say? Did she really give those shares away to someone else?”

Fu Xicheng was in a terrible mood. He felt deep regret upon contemplation of Shi Nuan’s words just now and got even exasperated when he saw Shi Wei approaching him.

“Xicheng?”

Fu Xicheng was frustrated and turned his head, “How would I know?”

“Xicheng!” Shi Wei bit her lips and put up a pitiful manner as she held Fu Xicheng’s arms with both her hands while her body trembled.

Fu Xicheng felt a pang guilt when he saw Shi Wei’s demeanor and he hurriedly apologized, “Wei, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have treated you like that. You know how Shi Nuan is. She loathes us for what we have done and now she’s trying to avenge herself.”

Fu Xicheng patted Shi Wei’s hand which was still clutching his arm, “She doesn’t want to disclose whom she gave those shares to. What do we do now?”

“What can we do? We can only think of ways to force her to part with those shares. I don’t believe that she would give it away for free.” Those shares made up over 50% of Huancheng’s shares. Shi Wei did not believe that Shi Nuan would really be so dense to give it all away. She must be lying to us.

“Yeah, we have to think of something. You’re the eldest daughter of the Shi family and you’re the rightful heir to Shi family’s assets!” Fu Xicheng comforted Shi Wei as he tapped at her hand. Now that Shi Nuan was not willing to get back together with him, Shi Wei was his only hope.

Shi Wei kissed Fu Xicheng after hearing his comment, “You’re the best! Xicheng, we have to think of a plan. You know that Nuan is not savvy with managing a business. Plus, she never treats any of us well other than grandpa. I’m afraid that she will leverage on those shares and do things that harm the Shi family, Huancheng, and even us. We cannot sit idly by and let those shares fall into her hands. I know I’m being unfair to Nuan but I have no other choice.”

“I know, you’re doing what’s best for her too, in case she gets cheated by someone else in the future. Let’s go, don’t you have an audition today? I’ll send you there!”

“Xicheng, I know that you love me best.” Shi Wei beamed with hope as she thought of returning to the stage and becoming the center of attention as the popular celebrity.

What does Shi Nuan have to compare against me? She is just a lowly staff under Fucheng.

“Oh right, Xicheng.” Shi Wei bit at her lip, “Now that our relationship with Nuan is so tense. Do you foresee that she will cause problems in Fucheng as she’s still working there?”

Fu Xicheng’s face tensed. He had not thought of this. However, Shi Nuan did not make any major mistakes in Huancheng and it would be difficult to terminate her.

“Xicheng, what are you thinking about?” Shi Wei shook Fu Xicheng’s shoulders, “You don’t think that I’m too cruel to Nuan, right?”

“No, don’t overthink.” Fu Xicheng contemplated Shi Wei’s words and thought about Fucheng’s decreasing orders recently and his face darkened. “You’re right. I need to discuss this with my father. With Shi Nuan’s prejudice against me, it’s not a good thing that we keep her at Fucheng.”

When Fu Xicheng was considering all the methods to terminate Shi Nuan’s employment at Fucheng, Shi Nuan had made a decision as well.

Although Shi Nuan and Fu Xicheng were separated, she did not give up on her job because she drew a clear line between work and personal matters. However, Shi Nuan could not imagine herself working together with Fu Xicheng after this incident.

After all, Fu Xicheng had been harassing her since they were working together. She was pointed at by other colleagues as well. Shi Nuan could pretend that she didn’t hear those gossips but she could not pretend that she did not care for them.

Shi Nuan headed straight back to Wutong Residence right after she left the hospital. Fu Chengyan had not gotten off work yet. So, Shi Nuan went to the guest room and moved all of his clothes to the master bedroom. Shi Nuan started to decorate the room and changed the bedsheets after bringing Fu Chengyan’s belongings in.

Shi Nuan noticed that time was still early when she was done and so she went out to buy groceries. She planned to cook a scrumptious meal for Fu Chengyan.

Fu Chengyan did not see Shi Nuan when he was back home early. He wanted to give Shi Nuan a surprise thinking that she would be bored alone at home. Fu Chengyan did not expect for Shi Nuan to give him a surprise instead.

Fu Chengyan noticed something was different about the living room although it was very subtle. He could only spot the differences thanks to his eidetic memory. However, the room was much more heartwarming after the change, especially because of the vase of fresh flowers on the coffee table. Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes at the sight.

He beamed with delight as he went upstairs to the guest room. As per his expectations, all his stuff was gone and his lips curved into a smile while his eyes glinted.

Fu Chengyan went to the master bedroom and the room gave off a brand new vibe, even the curtains had been changed to a warmer tone of color.

He noticed the fresh bedsheets and walked over to the wardrobe to open it and inside, his clothes filled the void from before. His clothes were plain and simple while hers were colorful and refreshing. Fu Chengyan was pleased by just looking at them.

His slender fingers tapped on the wardrobe door and he heard Shi Nuan’s voice coming from behind, “You’re back already?”
