I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 86
When Shi Nuan walked into the kitchen, she saw Fu Chengyan busy cooking. She stood at the door for
a while before Fu Chengyan noticed her presence and said, “Why don’t you sit outside?”
“We’re not doing much outside. Are you sure you can handle all these by yourself?” Shi Nuan looked at
Fu Chengyan and noticed that that he was very organized and methodical. She observed him for quite
some time before asking, “Do you need my help?”
Fu Chengyan paused for a moment and nodded his head. He then said, “Take a look at the soup and
adjust the intensity of the fire. I brought it to boil a while ago. Please let it simmer now.”
“Sure!” Shi Nuan walked to the pot and took a sniff and said, “This smells really good. What soup is
this?”
“Pork bone soup,” Fu Chengyan paused for a moment and said, “You were drugged yesterday and
there’s definitely some remnant of the drug in your body. Drinking some soup is good for you.”
When Shi Nuan heard Fu Chengyan’s words, she nodded with a smile and said, “Sure. But since when
was I drugged? I have no recollection about it. Also, what about Shi Wei……” At this time, Shi Nuan
realized that something was amiss as Shi Wei would usually be gloating or reprimanding her furiously
whenever something happened. But this time, she was not around.
Doubt started to fill her thought as she could not recall what happened yesterday and Fu Chengyan
also did not fill her in on the incident. “Was Shi Wei really the one who kidnapped me?”
Fu Chengyan raised his eyebrows and said, “Your reaction time is a little too slow. Shouldn’t you have
asked this earlier?”
Shi Nuan pursed her lips and replied, “As you have said, I was drugged and that’s why my mind is not
very alert.” Shi Nuan held adle in her hand to stir the soup in the pot before bringing it to a simmer.
She then leaned against the kitchen ind and stared at Fu Chengyan.
She realized that whatever Fu Chengyan did was pleasing to the eye, even if it was only a menial
matter. Shi Nuan imitated the usual way Fu Chengyan sped his hands and said, “How did Shi Wei
react when you rescued me yesterday? Based on her character, she would definitelye after me.
But I still haven’t heard much from her today.”
Fu Chengyan lifted his eyebrows, twitched his lips and replied, “Isn’t it better if she’s not around to give
you a hard time? Unless you are the kind of person who likes to be abused. Are you?”
“That’s not what I meant!”
“If that’s not the case, please help me to cut some garlic and ginger,” Fu Chengyan continued cooking
while instructing Shi Nuan to help out. “Stop thinking about this matter as it’s not going to help you in
any way.”
“That’s true.” It was a relief to be freed from Shi Wei. Although Shi Nuan still felt that something was
amiss, she could not tell what went wrong.
Meanwhile, a “battle” was taking ce at the living room. Although it was merely a misunderstanding
between them all these while, Song Rongrong still found Su Shaoqing too snobbish. Furthermore, the
smile of Su Shaoqing’s was just too irritating to Song Rongrong and that prompted her to challenge Su
Shaoqing.
The method that they adopted was quite straightforward. The loser of the poker game would be
punished with notes being pasted on his or her face.
This was one of the ridiculous games that Song Rongrong and Shi Nuan yed in their school days.
No one expected that such a game would still be useful in such a context. Song Rongrong met her
match today. In the past, she was an expert in this game, but who would have expected Su Shaoqing
to be even better in ying card games?
In fact, Su Shaoqing had yed poker in various amusement and entertainment outlets. It was rare for
him to lose a game. If he was to lose one, most likely it was because of him not wanting to win it and
not because of his inability to do so.
After one round of poker, the face of Song Rongrong was covered in paper notes while the faces of Su
Yian and Su Shaoqing were still clean.
“Hey, let’s stop the game. Did you both y dirty?” Song Rongrong threw the cards in her hand on the
table and continued, “Why am I the only person losing in this game? My cards were good.”
Song Rongrong stared at Su Shaoqing furiously. She really suspected Su Shaoqing of ying dirty.
Otherwise, how did she lose in every game? Indeed, Su Shaoqing and Su Yian did not lose at all.
Su Yian was never someone who was good in ying card games. In the past, she was merely asked
to y so as to meet the minimum number of required yers. Who would expect Su Yian to oust
her today?
Song Rongrong did not believe Su Yian could improve by leaps and bounds and her only exnation
was that Su Shaoqing had applied some dirty tricks and made her lose.
Su Shaoqing raised his eyebrows and smirked while looking at Song Rongrong’s sour face, “Ms. Rong,
your usations are unsubstantiated. We really yed fairly and you should not me us if your card
ying skill is bad.”
“You…” Song Rongrong gritted her teeth and continued, “I don’t want to y anymore.” She wiped
away all the paper on her face. “There’s nothing wrong in quitting this game, right?”
“Sure, as a gentleman, I’ll not go against ady’s wish.” Su Shaoqing then put his cards down on the
table with a broad smile.
Song Rongrong felt bored and took the remote control to switch on the television. The program
broadcasted at that time was entertainment news.
Shi Wei’s face appeared on the news and she was bombarded with questions from reporters. Many
mics were ced before her and they almost covered her face. The panic on Shi Wei’s face was
something that they had never seen before.
Song Rongrong’s hand froze for a while and she turned her head towards Su Yian. Su Yian also saw
the title of the news: ‘Incumbent Popr Movie Star Shi Wei Gained Fame Through Unruly Ways!’
Song Rongrong and Su Yian looked at each other and thought to themselves, Could it be karma?
Song Rongrongughed loudly and took out her cellphone to get an update on headline news. Indeed,
the headlines of all media were about Shi Wei.
The more Song Rongrong read, the more in shock she was. The news was about how Shi Wei was
kept as a sugar baby and the rtionship she had with various movie directors in order to secure a
role. The reporting provided not only words but also photographs. They made it hard for Shi Wei to
provide a good exnation.
When Su Yian saw Song Rongrongughing so happily, she also took her cellphone out to scroll
through the news. “Oh my! No wonder Nuan could never defeat her as Shi Wei was such a wicked
person with hidden agendas.”
Su Shaoqing narrowed his eyes. He stroked his chin with his fingers and watched the television screen
as contentment swept across his face. He then looked towards the direction of the kitchen and pursed
his lips.
He did not expect Fu Chengyan to do so much for Shi Nuan and it seemed that he was seriously
interested in her.
“Who did she offend?”
“Who was offended?” Shi Nuan walked out of the kitchen with a tray of food when she heard the
conversation between Song Rongrong and Su Yian. She then put down the tray and walked towards
them.
Shi Nuan noticed something amiss from the facial expression of Song Rongrong. She then looked at
Su Yian and then asked, “An, what’s the matter with you both?”
Shi Nuan shifted her gaze on the coffee table and saw the messy state of it with cards and paper notes
everywhere. She then asked, “Did you all y a card game? Who lost in the game?”
“Haha, no one lost.” Song Rongrong burst intoughter awkwardly and said, “Nuan,e and take a
look at this.” Song Rongrong brightened her cellphone screen and then passed it to Shi Nuan.

Shi Nuan held the cellphone suspiciously and was bbergasted when she read the news. She was in
disbelief and reread the news, “When…when did this happen?” No wonder Shi Nuan was not around to
make her life difficult today as she was in trouble herself.
“It just happened today. But the entertainment industry is aplicated one. Even a small scandal
would cause an uproar on the inte. For instance, this news was only reported a few hours ago but
Shi Wei is already on all news headlines now, including social media. Her name tops the list of all
search engines.”
Song Rongrong let out a sigh and said, “Who would know that Shi Wei’s character was worse than
what we had expected?”
“Who would tip-off the media with regard to such matter?” Shi Nuan was startled as she did not expect
the situation to end up this way.
“I don’t know. Many bloggers said that Shi Wei had offended many people throughout her acting career
in the past. Some even said that she had framed and harmed others. The entertainment industry is so
complicated and perhaps someone took revenge against her,” Song Rongrong said nonchntly, for
she did not find the identity of the person behind this matter important. As long as Shi Wei was
humiliated, that would suffice.
Shi Nuan gritted her teeth and said, “No. I must give grandfather a call!”
“What’re you doing?” Song Rongrong snatched the cellphone from Shi Nuan and stared at her
strangely. She then said, “Shi Wei deserved to be as such for the bad things she had done. If you call
her family now, how would they think about you?”
“But my grandfather is old and he won’t be able to withstand such shocking news!” Shi Nuan frowned
as she was worried that Shi Yunsheng’s mood would be badly affected by such news.
“Don’t worry. Grandpa Shi is not a weak person. He would be able to withstand this. Furthermore,
Grandpa Shi is not someone who keeps up with the times. Perhaps he still does not know about this.
What if your call was picked up by either your parents or Shi Wei? They would vent their anger on you,
thinking that your purpose was to mock Shi Wei.”
Shi Nuan shrugged helplessly and said, “You always have a justification for everything.”
“What Ms. Song said was right!” Su Shaoqing responded after a long pause. “The entertainment
industry is absolutelyplicated. Since you’re not in the industry, you better stay out of it.”
“Yes, yes, yes, what Su Shaoqing said was right.”
Song Rongrong nodded her head repeatedly and said, “Well, stop thinking about this. Shi Wei should
have gotten used to the entertainment industry and she wasn’t a kind person to begin with. The number
of people who wanted to frame her is definitely more than a handful. Why don’t you see this as karma
for what she had done to others, as well as a valuable lesson for her?”
Shi Nuan raised her eyebrows and asked, “Isn’t this adding insult to her injury?”
“What’s about adding insult to her injury?” Fu Chengyan served various dishes on the dining table
before looking at Shi Nuan. He said, “Dinner is ready. Let’s tuck in.”
“Sure!” Shi Nuan smiled while keeping her cellphone aside. She then said, “Let’s wash our hands and
start dinner!”
Su Shaoqing followed them behind and stopped for a moment when he walked pass Fu Chengyan. He
whispered, “Fu Chengyan, you’re quite a big deal!”
Fu Chengyan raised his eyebrows and asked, “What do you mean?”
Su Shaoqing twitched his lips and replied, “You were the source of the information of Shi Wei’s
scandal, weren’t you?” Su Shaoqing then gave him a thumbs up and continued, “Your girl even thought
that this incident was sabotaged by Shi Wei’s enemies.”
Fu Chengyan raised his eyebrows and asked, “Does she know?”
