I Want A Lifetime With You

Chapter 52

Fu Chengyan was standing by the French windows when Zhou Zheng came back to the room. He made a small cough to get his attention.

Fu Chengyan turned around to look at Zhou Zheng who stood straight immediately, “He has been taken away. Do you think this is appropriate, Master Chengyan?”

“Why not? It’s time to do so.” Fu Chengyan walked to his table and pick up an unlit cigarette.

Fu Chengyan preferred to strike at his opponents’ weakest point with a single hit to save trouble.“Let’s make it big for him since he likes stabbing our back.”

Zhou Zheng knew he was serious about wanting to finish Fu Renjiang but just couldn’t understand why he wanted to do it so quickly. “I remembered you said you wanted to keep him alive for some time.”

“I am in a good mood.” Fu Chengyan curved his lips, “Never try to guess my intentions.”

“I didn’t!” Zhou Zheng would never have the gall to guess Fu Chengyan’s thoughts as no one could see through it.

“Fu Yuqing thought he could be fearless with Fu Renjiang as his backup.” Fu Chengyan let out a cold snort.

“Are we taking action on Fucheng?” Zhou Zheng couldn’t help himself but thought about Shi Nuan. He didn’t think there was anything special about her but Master Chengyan liked her.

He was always confused with Master Chengyan’s unpredictable temper. He had troubled by matters concerning the Fu family. Hence, he had been hiding his true colors which only showed up in rare occasions. Did he act up this time because of Shi Nuan?

Honestly, he was not very pleased with his action. As far as Zhou Zheng was concerned Fu Chengyan was invincible and flawless. But Shi Nuan…

“Do you have any other opinions?” Fu Chengyan squinted his eyes.

“No, I don’t!” Zhou Zheng shook his head, “Fucheng went overboard in the past two years with Shengyuan as their cover-up.”

“Keep an eye on Liu Jiang. As for Secretary Li…” Fu Chengyan kept quiet for a moment, “You know what to do.”

“Yes, Sir.” Zhou Zheng nodded, “What about Mr. Jiang?”

“Don’t worry, he should be the one worrying now. He’ll come to us in three days.” Fu Chengyan scoffed.

Shi Nuan was reluctant to end the call with Fu Chengyan. She didn’t expect him to call her during office hours to just ask her about dinner. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Even though Shi Nuan was still not used to their relationship, she would make an effort and try to adapt if Fu Chengyan was serious about her.

Fu Chengyan was right. She couldn’t live nor run away from the past. She should learn to face and accept it. She deserved to live a better life after all that she had been through.

However, she furrowed her eyebrows when Fu Xicheng approached her.

She was annoyed by Fu Xicheng’s grim look at her phone as if he wanted to destroy it. She hated the way he looked at her, “Are you looking for me, Mr. Fu?”

Fu Xicheng was displeased at her cold tone, “Who was that?”

“You mean… Who called me? I don’t think there a need for me to report to you.” Shi Nuan pursed her lips.

“What do you mean by that? Watch your attitude at work, Shi Nuan!” Fu Xicheng was furious, “Do you even have respect for the company?”

“Mr. Fu, I don’t have to prove anything to you. If you’ll excuse me, I have work to do.”

Shi Nuan didn’t want to have any contact with Fu Xicheng besides work.

He was agitated by her attitude that he held her hand tight, “You are at work and I’m your superior here in the company!”

“Fine! Tell me what you want from me?” Shi Nuan sneered and gritted her teeth, “You don’t have to hold my hand for work! Let go of me!”

She managed to pull herself away after a few attempts and was irritated to see her hand turned red from Fu Xicheng’s strong grip, “Please tell me, Mr. Fu!”

“Must we talk like this, Shi Nuan?”

“I’m going to work if you have nothing to say to me!” Shi Nuan didn’t want to start an argument with Fu Xicheng in the office as everyone in the whole department was watching. She knew what not to do. But Fu Xicheng was obviously blinded by anger, “Fine, we’ll talk about work then. What were you trying to say during the morning briefing?”

“Huh? Didn’t I make myself clear enough?” Shi Nuan scoffed, “You should be in charge as the general manager of Fucheng. It’s none of my affairs. Why are you asking me what I meant?”

“You said Shengyuan cut their orders, and the sales department…”

“Mr. Fu, I think you should get more information on this as I barely knew anything.. Besides, didn’t the Chairman forbid me to talk about it in the meeting?”

Fu Xicheng he had lost the ties he used to have with Shi Nuan. They would never speak to each other like enemies in the past.

He didn’t know how to handle Shi Nuan’s sharp tongue.

“Fine, we won’t talk about it. Have you gotten used to things now that you have returned?”

“Why not? I’m so used to it.” Shi Nuan said while looking at her watch, “I’m signing out now, Mr. Fu.”

Shi Nuan put up a friendly smile in the pretense of her unyielding personality. She would never compromise on her principles.

Fu Xicheng wanted to talk to her, but Shi Nuan obviously didn’t want to hear it as she packed her things and clocked out from the office immediately.

Fu Xicheng clenched his fists and went after Shi Nuan.

However, Shi Nuan got into her car and drove off. Fu Xicheng punched the wall with grudge as he was too slow and could only her sped off.

Shi Nuan clocked out on time just before the traffic began. Just as she was preparing to call Fu Chengyan, the man took the initiative and called first, “You’re off from work?”

“Yes, I’m on my way. What about you?” Shi Nuan asked, “I’ll reach in half an hour.”

“Me too. We’ll meet over there.”

After half an hour, Shi Nuan reached her destination and saw Fu Chengyan waiting for her without his car, “Where’s your car?”

“Zhou Zheng drove it back.” Fu Chengyan slipped his hand into his pocket casually with a pleasant smile on his face.

Shi Nuan moaned softly and held her forehead as she marveled at his charming and dangerous smile. That was a very gorgeous smile.

Fu Chengyan squinted his eyes at Shi Nuan’s reaction, “Look at you. Are you not happy, my wife?”

“No, I’m not! You must be mistaken.” Shi Nuan replied awkwardly.

“I thought I was wrong too.” Fu Chengyan smiled, “My wife, you’ll have to drive me home.”

Shi Nuan was speechless at his disposition. “You can call me Shi Nuan.”

“That’s too weird!” Fu Chengyan laughed and tucked Shi Nuan’s loose hair behind her ear, “I don’t like it.”

“You can call me Nuan too.”

“I’m not following the others.” Fu Chengyan frowned slightly, “I’m the only one who can address you as my wife.”

Shi Nuan sighed at Fu Chengyan, “Why don’t you think of another nickname for me instead?” She felt uneasy with that nickname.

Fu Chengyan furrowed his brows and sighed pitifully, “I’ll think of a nickname for you then.”

“Okay!” Shi Nuan shrugged and thought that anything would be better than him calling her his wife.

Fu Chengyan pondered for a moment, “Let’s go grocery shopping while I think. Didn’t you say you want to have braised fish and sweet and sour pork?”

Shi Nuan nodded, “That’s right! How about you?” She had to consider his preference now that they are married. “What do you like to eat? I’ll take note of it.”

Fu Chengyan smiled, “I’ll eat anything as long as it’s cooked.” He stopped for a moment, “Don’t you want some veggies besides those two dishes?”

Shi Nuan was stunned, “Is it necessary to have vegetables?” Are they buying them too?”

“So you prefer meat, my wife?” Fu Chengyan grinned slyly at the twisted meaning behind the word.

Shi Nuan was ignorant and nodded after a while, “Yes, I liked my grandpa’s sweet and sour pork when I was young. I was lousy at cooking, but my grandpa was a superb cook. I would always eat plenty of meat whenever he cooked.” Shi Nuan smiled plainly as she spoke, “Don’t you think I’m exaggerating?”

Fu Chengyan laughed lightly, “No, I think you’re easy to take care of as you love meat.”

Shi Nuan nodded at Fu Chengyan’s weird response, “Yes, I quite enjoy eating meat.”
