I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 55
Shi Nuan wasn’t happy for being praised by Fu Chengyan. All she did was force a smile. “So, Fucheng
is finished?”
Fu Chengyan thought about it for a bit, then he tilted his head. “Why? Are you feeling sad about it?”
Shi Nuan pursed her lips. “You know I don’t mean it that way.” She didn’t drag her own emotions into
this, though she thought this wasn’t the only way. “Must you do it this way?”
“Stay out of thepany matters. I can’t tell you everything,” Fu Chengyan said. “You will know about
it when the time is right.”
Fine then. Shi Nuan knew it wasn’t as simple as it looked. This wasn’t the only reason that prompted
Fu Chengyan to make this decision, so she smiled. “If Fucheng is finished, what should I do?”
“I told you. You’re a smart woman, so you’ll find a betterpany.” He tapped on his knee. “Take a left
turn.”
Shi Nuan snapped out of it and smiled awkwardly. “Sorry. I know I shouldn’t poke my nose into the
company’s matters.”
“Nope,” Fu Chengyan looked at her sciously. “I can tell you if you want to know about it.”
Shi Nuan’s heart raced when she met his fiery gaze, and she gulped. “Thanks but no thanks. I’m not
your staff after all.” Shi Nuan ended this topic. Fu Chengyan wasn’t someone who would pester her for
answers, so they tacitly agreed not to talk about this.
They agreed that Shi Nuan would be the one to cook after this, but still the man busied himself in the
kitchen. Shi Nuan looked at him, something welling up within her. She leaned on the doorstep and
hesitated about something. When Fu Chengyan turned around and saw her looking at himself, he lifted
his brows teasingly. “Do you need something?”
“Do you need my help?” Shi Nuan pointed at the veggies in the basin. “I can cook, you know.”
“Alright, then wash the veggies.” Fu Chengyan pointed at the vegetable in the basin. “You’ll have a lot
of opportunities to cook after this.” He enunciated, then the man looked at her. “Don’t be in such a
hurry.”
Shi Nuan froze up. She was holding a lettuce when Fu Chengyan told her that. “Alright then.” Suddenly,
someone rang on the doorbell, and Shi Nuan looked at Fu Chengyan, feeling suspicious. “It’ste, so
who could it be?”
Fu Chengyan squinted, then he smiled. “Open the door then.”
Shi Nuan nodded. She wiped her hands dry before going to take the door, thinking that it might be one
of Fu Chengyan’s friends. However, she was shocked after opening the door, for there was a gigantic
creature there. Shi Nuan screamed, then she staggered backward, looking at the man and the dog
outside the door.
Fu Chengyan heard her scream, so he came out quickly. “What’s wrong?”
Shi Nuan pointed at the man and the dog at the doorstep with a trembling finger. “I…” She was aghast,
especially when the dog almost pounced on her. If it wasn’t for Su Shaoqing stopping it in time,
something bad would have happened.
Fu Chengyan frowned, then he looked sharply at Su Shaoqing. “What the hell are you doing here?”
Instead of weing his friend, Fu Chengyan asked him a hostile question.
Su Shaoqing raised his eyebrow, a gleam of quizzical light twinkling in his eyes. He could see that Fu
Chengyan wasn’t very weing, so the man smiled, then he patted his dog. “I wanted toe for the
housewarming party for Nuan, see. Don’t worry, Nuan. My dog’s a smart one. He approached you
because he likes you.” Su Shaoqing smiled innocently, then he pushed his sses up, looking like a
useless git.
Shi Nuan chuckled drily, still shivering from the lingering fear. For some reason, she thought of Su
Shaoqing as a wolf in sheep’s skin. There was nothing better to describe the person Su Shaoqing was
now.
Fu Chengyan squinted, his eyes gleaming coldly. “You are an uninvited guest.”
“Oh, you don’t wee me, Nuan?” Su Shaoqing looked at Fu Chengyan. “Nuan?”
Shi Nuan chuckled drily. “You guys chat. I’ll go to the kitchen.”
Fu Chengyan quickly held her hand. “Did you get scared?”
Shi Nuan gulped, but she shook her head. “It’s fine. I was shaken up, but it’s fine now.” She pried his
hand away. “You chat with Mr. Su. I’ll make dinner.”
Fu Chengyan wanted to say something, but he felt amused when he saw her scurrying away. On the
other hand, Su Shaoqing felt curious, for it was rare to see Fu Chengyan looking this way. “Hey, are
you trying to be all soft and fluffy now?”
Fu Chengyan red at him sharply. Su Shaoqing was shocked, but he kept his smile on like usual.
“Hey, hey, this isn’t too great of you, Chengyan. Everyone else is still a bachelor, you know.”
“Really?” Fu Chengyan smirked. “Do you want me to call her back?”
Su Shaoqing’s expression changed. “You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you, Chengyan?”
“What about you?” Fu Chengyan wasn’t about to be all smiles to him. “Why are you here?”
“I told you, I came here for the housewarming. We promised we’d gather around, but you don’t seem to
have that n. Jingxiu and Heng didn’t see her yet, so I have to get to know her for them.” Su
Shaoqing said seriously, then he kicked his dog. “Arnold, sit!”
Arnold was a German Shepherd. He was Su Shaoqing’s pet, though they seemed like a jarring pair.
When Fu Chengyan looked at Arnold sharply, the dog lowered his head andy down beside Su
Shaoqing’s foot carefully, as if admitting to its wrongdoing.
Su Shaoqing patted its head. “Are you sure about this?”
Fu Chengyan looked at him. “We’ve taken the marriage certificate, so how am I not sure about this?”
he snorted. “Why did youe here anyway, really?”
Su Shaoqing shrugged. “Alright, I was just bored. You know I’m busytely, and Arnold hates the
residence.”
“You want to house him at my ce?” Fu Chengyan said coldly. “You saw it too. Shi Nuan dislikes him.”
Arnold looked up and yelped a couple of times, then he crawled toward Fu Chengyan and rubbed his
head against his calf, seemingly trying to please the man. However, he kicked the dog away without
even looking at him. “Why didn’t you house it at Li Heng’s ce then?”
“You think I haven’t thought of that? You know how Heng is like. He likes dogs, but only his own dog.
He doesn’t really like Arnold.” Su Shaoqing was in a pickle. “I wouldn’t havee to you if I’m out of
ideas. I have to go to an academic forum somewhere else after a couple of days.”
Fu Chengyan looked up and massaged his forehead. “No. Shi Nuan hates this.”
“Hey, why is everything about her? Can you change it to something else?” Su Shaoqing looked at him
in disdain. “I think this has nothing to do with Nuan.”
“What has nothing to do with me?” Shi Nuan came out from the kitchen at the moment and seemed to
vaguely hear Su Shaoqing mentioning her, so she paused. The woman wanted to go over, but she
stood at her spot when she saw that gigantic German Shepherd.
Arnold yelped when he saw Shi Nuan looking scared of him. Feeling hurt, he tried to run to Shi Nuan,
which shocked her. The woman quickly went to the kitchen. “D-Don’te near me!”

“Arnold!” Fu Chengyan called him coldly, and Arnold obediently stopped running and turned around to
look at him expectantly, giving him the puppy-eye look.
Shi Nuan was amused by Arnold’s quirkiness, so she chuckled, which made Arnold bark happily. He
then went to nibble on Fu Chengyan’s trousers, barking a couple of times at the same time, as if
saying, ‘See? She likes me!’
Fu Chengyan looked at the dog and his friend, then he looked at Su Shaoqing. “For how long?”
Su Shaoqing knew this was in the bag, so he smiled. “Not long, probably a week.”
Fu Chengyan frowned, then he looked at Shi Nuan. “Arnold will be staying here for a week. What do
you think?”
is he asking for my opinion? Shi Nuan was surprised. So Arnold’s the name of the dog? Shi Nuan was
in a dilemma, for she was shocked by the dog earlier. Even though she had calmed down now, the
woman wasn’t sure if she could ept him. Also, this was Fu Chengyan’s house. She wondered why
he asked her this question.
Su Shaoqing looked pleadingly at Shi Nuan. “I had nowhere else to go, Nuan. I can’t just leave Arnold
alone at home for one week. He’ll starve.”
Hmm, that bad, huh? Shi Nuan looked at Fu Chengyan, hoping he could give his input.
Fu Chengyan looked at Su Shaoqing impatiently, then he nodded at Shi Nuan. “He’s going on a trip for
a week. If you don’t mind, we’ll take care of Arnold for a week. But if you do, I’ll chase them out right
away.”
Su Shaoqing and Arnold were speechless. Shi Nuan chuckled drily, then she noticed Su Shaoqing and
Arnold looking at her like hurt little puppies. Well, technically, one of them was a dog, but everyone
could use the puppy-eye tactic. “I-I don’t mind.”
Su Shaoqing heaved a sigh of relief. “Arnold’s really easy to take care of, Nuan. Just leave him in a
corner, and that’s it. If you don’t like it, tell him to stay away from you.”
Shi Nuan nodded reluctantly, then she gasped, “My fish!”
They watched as she quickly went into the kitchen, then the men looked at each other. Su Shaoqing
smirked. “Nuan’s… not bad.”
Fu Chengyan arched his eyebrow and snorted. “Of course she is. She’s my woman.” He pursed his lips
and looked at his friend in disdain. “Now that your business is settled, can you scram?”
“Scram?” Su Shaoqing was stunned, then he smiled innocently. “Oh no. It’s not every day I get toe
here, so I can’t just leave. Besides, it’s dinnertime. I can still taste the food Nuan made even until now.
It’s delicious.”
“Do you want to fight, Shaoqing?” Fu Chengyan squinted and cracked his knuckles.
