I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 179
“How does it look?”
Shi Nuan was anxious when she saw that Fu Chengyan didn’t say anything. She looked down to check
on herself instead. She had never worn something like this and neither did the people in the periodic
dramas. She felt strange wearing these clothes. However, when she saw the fiery passion in Fu
Chengyan’s eyes, her insecurity melted away.
Shi Nuan curled up her lip, “It looks alright, doesn’t it?”
“It’s gorgeous!” Fu Chengyan managed to squeeze those two words out of his mouth as he regained
his senses. He smiled as he helped Shi Nuan adjust her clothing. “You can wait for me outside. I’ll be
out very soon!”
“Sure!”
Shi Nuan left the room and saw that Su Shaoqing and Li Heng had changed too. They looked like
totally different people in their gear and she was impressed by how they looked. It even made her
forgot Su Shaoqing’s usually foolish demeanor for once.
Shi Nuan blinked as she saw Li Heng and Su Shaoqinge out. She then greeted them first. “Li
Heng, Su.”
Li Heng gave a light nod in acknowledgment but Su Shaoqing couldn’t help but notice that there was a
difference in how she addressed them. “Mrs. Fu, you greeted him as Li Heng but called me Su instead.
You’re being more formal with me on purpose, despite us knowing each other for a longer time!”
“Why don’t I call you Shaoqing then?” Shi Nuanughed as she didn’t expect Su Shaoqing to pick on
something as trivial as that. She had just decided to call him Su because it was just more convenient
than his full name Su Shaoqing while Li Heng’s name was shorter anyway. She had made it a habit.
Su Shaoqing’s eyebrows rxed as he was satisfied with her response. However, he added, “I saw the
look on your face when you saw both of us just now. If Chengyan had seen it, he would definitely be
jealous!”
“Jealous of who?” Fu Chengyan walked out at that very moment and he scanned Su Shaoqing from
head to toe. “May had good taste.” It obviously meant that Su Shaoqing was inferiorpared to him.
Su Shaoqing was perplexed, “Chengyan, how can you say that? Don’t I have many good qualities? Am
I not eligible enough? Even if I don’t fit Mrs. Fu’s taste, what about Li Heng? He’s definitely on the
same pedigree as you are!” Su Shaoqing was bent on creating some mischief.
Li Heng red at Su Shaoqing when he heard what he said. “Shaoqing, are you trying to get yourself
in trouble?” Li Heng’s voice carried a tinge of frostiness which was different from Fu Chengyan’s
brooding style. Shi Nuan looked at Li Heng and felt that he was certainly aplex character.
Fu Chengyan held onto Shi Nuan’s hand as they walked and said, “Just ignore them. They always
behave that way. Let’s go and find you a horse!”
Fu Chengyan and Shi Nuan then left the other two. Shi Nuan followed Fu Chengyan from behind as
she was gently pulled along by him. Her eyes were fixated on his figure from behind. He looked really
good in his riding breeches as she had expected. His all-white breeches paired with ck leather boots
made him look amazing.
Fu Chengyan had arge frame but wasn’t muscle-bound. The lines of his body looked very pleasant.
His figure was the epitome of what a male model’s figure was supposed to be.
Fu Chengyan stopped in his tracks and checked on Shi Nuan. He saw her ogling at him and couldn’t
help but curled his lips into a grin. His eyes were filled with gentleness and glee. Shi Nuan was
awestruck. Then, she finally blinked as she said, “Yan, you look really good. You’re the most handsome
person that I have ever seen.”
“Oh? Is that so?” He squeezed her small hands and smiled. It was early winter and the weather was
still rxing andfortable.
Somece far away, Su Shaoqing’s eyes glistened and he turned to look at Li Heng who was behind
him. However, Li Heng had looked away and seemed to not be in the mood to talk to anyone. Su
Shaoqing pursed his lips and watched as Li Heng left. But he then went after him a whileter. “Don’t
you think it’s rude of Fu Chengyan to just leave us like that while he takes Mrs. Fu for a ride? What are
we really here for?”
“Wasn’t it your idea to be here?” Li Heng shot a nce at Su Shaoqing. “You’re the one that’s looking
for trouble. Who are you trying to me?” Li Heng’s voice was cold as he didn’t bother to be polite with
Su Shaoqing.
He had just been made to feel bad over the fact that he was single and now Li Heng had criticized him
too. Su Shaoqing felt that he could no longer continue being friends with them. He then left with a turn
of his head. Li Heng narrowed his eyes and looked around. His mind was filled with images of that
person. They had both came horse riding here and she told him that they would be together forever.
Pei Huan. Oh, Pei Huan! It’s been three years now. Why haven’t you returned?
Fu Chengyan chose a docile-looking horse for Shi Nuan because this was her first time riding. He was
worried that she was too scared and that she wouldn’t be able to control the horse. He then walked
with her as he held the reins of the horse. When she sat on the horse and she stroked the horse’s neck
gently then said, “Yan, he’s a really good boy!”
“Yes!” Fu Chengyan looked up and saw her face filled with delight. “Shall I let go for you to try?”
“Sure!”
With Fu Chengyan’s encouragement, Shi Nuan rode by herself for a while and realized it wasn’t as
scary as she thought it was. The horse seemed to understand what she wanted and was quite friendly.
Suddenly she felt a gush of wind sweep past. When she regained her senses, she saw Su Shaoqing
and Li Heng racing on the track. The magnificent sight that unfolded in front of her reinvigorated the
need for excitement in her. “Yan, Li Heng and Su Shaoqing seem to be racing. Who do you think will
win?”
Shi Nuan turned to look at Fu Chengyan who was behind her. “Yan?”
Fu Chengyan looked up. “Li Heng!”
“Oh? How do you know?” Shi Nuan nced at Fu Chengyan and returned her gaze towards Li Heng
and Su Shaoqing. “Yan, is Li Heng really good? Who would win in a race between both of you?”

Fu Chengyan raised an eyebrow. He narrowed his eyes and looked over her face before staring at her
quizzically. “What? Do you want me to race with them?”
“Can you?” Shi Nuan asked in anticipation.
She was already happy enough to be here and she even got to ride a horse. She didn’t want to do
anything too challenging. Fu Chengyan knew that Shi Nuan wasn’t really interested in horses. All she
wanted was to satisfy her curiosity. He then helped her down the horse. “Alright! But we have to ask
both of them first!”
“Sure, let’s go!”
When Fu Chengyan saw how happy Shi Nuan was, he couldn’t help but stroke her hair. “I can see that
you’re really excited even more so than I am.”
“Of course!” Shi Nuanughed excitedly as she held Fu Chengyan’s hand. “I want to see how good you
really are!”
Fu Chengyan let out an adoring smile and asked, “What if I lose?”
“Lose?” Shi Nuan bit her lip and made a reluctant face. She then said, “If you lose so be it! It’s no big
deal after all!” Although she had not thought about what would happen if he lost, it had never crossed
her mind that he would lose. But she could see that Li Heng was really skillful. So it really isn’t much of
a deal if he lost anyway.
However, it was going to be a race where she would never know the results. The reason was that Fu
Chengyan received a call from his family and they wanted him to return at once.
Fu Chengyan frowned as he ended the call. Shi Nuan saw his expression and asked, “Did something
happen?”
Li Heng and Su Shaoqing came over coincidentally and looked towards Fu Chengyan. “Are you not
racing?”
Fu Chengyan shook his head. “Unfortunately no, something came up at home and I need to head back.
I don’t know what’s going on yet!” Fu Chengyan then nced at Shi Nuan, “I can’t apany you
anymore and I’m afraid you have to go home on your own.”
“Don’t worry about me. You have something more important to attend to. Besides, you can spend time
with me anytime you want!” Although Shi Nuan was understanding, Fu Chengyan was still upset. He
lifted his eyebrow slightly at Li Heng and Su Shaoqing. “Till next time!”
Li Heng nodded. “Indeed.” He then looked in Shi Nuan’s direction. “If you don’t mind, why don’t you join
me and Shaoqing for a meal? And we can send you home afterward as it’s gettingte.”
Although the question was directed at Shi Nuan, he was asking for Fu Chengyan’s permission in
essence.
Fu Chengyan nodded. “Sure, sorry for the trouble.” Fu Chengyan patted Shi Nuan on her shoulders. “I
feel so much better if you can go with Li Heng and Shaoqing!”
Shi Nuan chuckled when she heard him. “I’m d you’re worried about me but I’m an adult too. I’ll be
fine even if Li Heng and Shaoqing don’t send me home. You should go and attend to your matters and
not worry about me.”
After Fu Chengyan left, Shi Nuan smiled and looked towards Li Heng and Su Shaoqing. “I’ll be in your
hands.”
“You’re wee.”
Shi Nuan rode in Su Shaoqing’s car as he felt that she was more familiar with him since she knew him
longer. Besides, she was more of a serious person and so was Li Heng. If they shared a car, it would
likely be awkward for both of them. Besides, Li Heng had never bothered to be courteous to anyone
other than Pei Huan. Su Shaoqing was worried that he might say something that would offend Shi
Nuan instead.
Shi Nuan didn’t really mind but since Su Shaoqing insisted, it would be rude for her to decline.
“Aren’t you curious?”
Su Shaoqing looked at Shi Nuan as she sat there quietly.
Shi Nuan paused for a second before looking up at Su Shaoqing. “What is there to be curious about?”
She was going through the pictures on her phone which she took at the equestrian club. There were
some of Fu Chengyan and also those from when Li Heng and Su Shaoqing were racing.
She held the phone in her hand as she looked at Su Shaoqing. “What do I need to be curious about?”
“About the reason Fu Chengyan was called back to his family home for?” Su Shaoqing said as his
fingers tapped on the steering wheel. He seemed to be insinuating something. “Hasn’t Fu Chengyan
brought you to see the Fu family after such a long time?”
Shi Nuan furrowed her brows slightly as she nodded. “That’s true.”
Su Shaoqing curled his lips. “Aren’t you curious as to why he hasn’t brought you there?”
“It’s me that decided to keep our rtionship a secret for the time being,” Shi Nuan said. “That’s why I
haven’t met them. Is that a problem?”
Su Shaoqing was so surprised that he almost floored the elerator. “What did you say? It’s you who
wanted to keep it a secret and not Fu Chengyan?”
Shi Nuan’s eyes widened. “What’s so strange about it? It was my decision. You know how my family is.
So I don’t think it’s a good idea to let others know about my rtionship with Yan. I don’t want my
family to take advantage of him or cause him any unnecessary trouble!”
