I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 194


    “Yan!”


    “Enough, mother. I don’t have time to talk about this. It’ste, and I haven’t had dinner yet!” Fu


    Chengyan hung up without hesitation. When the man realized Shi Nuan was gripping his hand, he


    raised his brows and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”


    Shi Nuan shook her head. “You don’t get along with your mother?” He was harsh to his mother, and


    they seem to be at odds. She felt bad for him. “Is there a misunderstanding?”


    “No.” Fu Chengyan patted her head and grinned. “Don’t think too much. Isn’t dinner ready? Let’s go.”


    It was apparent Fu Chengyan didn’t want to talk about this, so Shi Nuan had no choice but to nod.


    “Let’s go. I’ll get you some rice.”


    “Okay!” Fu Chengyan stared at Shi Nuan’s back as his gaze darkened.


    Shi Nuan sensed Fu Chengyan was in a foul mood today because of his mother, Song Zhenyan’s


    phone call. She had no idea what happened between Fu Chengyan, his mother and the Fu family, but it


    seemed to be something terrible.


    Shi Nuan recalled her own family, suddenly realizing they were in the same shoes.


    At night, Fu Chengyan made love to her tirelessly. Shi Nuan was already exhausted, but the man’s


    desire wasn’t satiated yet. Right then, she realized how dreadful it was when a man got angry. Her


    husband wasn’t mad at her, but she was the one who had to bear the consequences.


    The next morning, Shi Nuan woke up with an aching body. Her entire body was falling apart, but the


    culprit was smiling at her as he leaned on the door. “You’re up thiste? We’re going to bete!”


    Shi Nuan bit her lips. “You should sleep in the guest room tonight. I mean it!”


    Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes and walked over, his eyes crinkling up in amusement. The man


    propped one hand on the bed and wrapped his other hand around Shi Nuan. His lips brushed gently on


    Shi Nuan’s forehead while he chuckled. “Good girl, go wash up now. Breakfast is ready.”


    Shi Nuan shoved him away and waved her fists at him. She growled at him menacingly, “Didn’t you


    hear me? I said, you’re going to sleep in the guest room tonight! I mean it. It isn’t a joke!”


    The man merely squinted before reaching out to tousle her hair. “Really?” There was an affectionate


    smile on his face. “Okay, I’m sorry. I’ll try my best to control myself so you won’t get tired.”

    “Is that the problem?” Shi Nuan pouted. “You said that every time, but you never keep your word! I


    won’t believe you anymore. Get out, now!”


    Shi Nuan pushed the covers away and stood up, pushing Fu Chengyan out of the room. She locked


    the door and yelled threateningly, “I won’t forgive you easily. I have my principles!”


    The principled woman thought locking the doors would ensure her safety and went to the bathroom to


    wash up. Fu Chengyan smiled in resignation. He stood at the door for a while before reaching out to


    turn the doorknob. His wife had indeed locked the door from inside, so he didn’t know whether tough


    or cry.


    Shi Nuan caught a whiff of the aroma the moment she arrived downstairs and asked in surprise, “You


    cooked congee? Is it chicken congee?”


    “Hurry up,e here!” Fu Chengyan gestured for her toe. Shi Nuan had already forgotten she


    vowed not to forgive him, and ran over to him, taking in the yummy smell. She nced at the congee


    on the dining table and grinned in delight. “How did you know I was craving chicken congee?”


    She had been thinking about it sincest night, but cooking congee wasn’t an easy feat for them as


    they need to go to work early ande back homete at night. Shi Nuan would rather spend her time


    on working or resting, but Fu Chengyan prepared congee for her early in the morning.


    Fu Chengyan curled his lips up. “Take a seat. Some time ago, Mai Qi gave me pickles from her


    hometown. It came in handy this morning.”


    “Mai Qi?” Shi Nuan’s eyes lit up. “Zhou Zheng told me Mai Qi is from Hunan, which specializes in


    pickled radish!” Shi Nuan poured two bowls of congee and opened the box. At once, the aromatic scent


    of radish attacked her nostrils. “It smells great!”


    “Hurry, let’s eat. We’re going to bete.”


    “Okay!” Shi Nuan nodded and started eating. But after a while, she raised her head abruptly. “By the


    way, I can’t go to work with you today.”


    “Hmm?” Fu Chengyan met her gaze. “Why?”


    Shi Nuan hesitated. “Did you forget what happenedst night? Your cousin is working at Shengyuan


    now, right? She nearly caught us togetherst night.” It was a close callst night. If Fu Chengyan


    didn’t divert Song Jingyu’s attention, the youngdy would’ve spotted her.


    She continued talking, unaware that the man’s gaze had changed as he pulled a long face.


    Shi Nuan lowered her head and took a sip of the congee. Finally realizing that Fu Chengyan said


    nothing, she raised her head in suspicion and met the man’s dangerous stare. She swallowed before


    asking, “What’s wrong?”


    “You’re afraid that she’d find out?” Fu Chengyan asked stonily.


    Shi Nuan took a bite of the pickled radish and blinked. “Yes. I think your cousin’s too persistent. If she


    had spotted me in your parking lotst night, she would’ve pestered me nonstop.” She noticed Fu


    Chengyan’s expression getting darker by the minute. “What’s wrong with you?”


    “Are you ashamed of us?” Fu Chengyan was upset. “May, why you don’t want anyone to find out about


    us?”


    Shi Nuan nearly spitted out the food in her mouth as she burst intoughter. “Were you mad because I


    didn’t want Song Jingyu to find out about us?” Shi Nuan blinked. “Yan, I never knew you to be so bad-


    tempered!”


    Fu Chengyan’s brows arched up as he narrowed his eyes, shooting her a warning look to remind her to


    talk nicely.


    “Didn’t we talk about this many times? It’s not that I’m not willing, it’s just that we have to take it slowly. I


    didn’t want others to find out we were married because I was afraid my family would use our


    rtionship to mooch off you. I think you know why I insist on keeping it a secret now. You know your


    family well. Plus, your mother insisted on you marrying Song Jingyu. If they find out about my


    existence, I’ll be in deep trouble.”


    Shi Nuan put down her chopsticks and rested her chin on one hand. “I’m not actually afraid of trouble. If


    you don’t mind, we can announce it to everyone. I’m not only worried about myself, but I’m also worried


    about you. The news about you being married itself will cause a huge ruckus!”


    Fu Chengyan furrowed his brows. He knew what Shi Nuan was worried about.


    He wasn’t mad actually. Shi Nuan’s attitude towards their marriage frustrated him a lot or it might not


    even be Shi Nuan. Perhaps it was because of the uncontroble factors that ruined the peace between


    him and Shi Nuan.


    “Does Song Jingyu bother you a lot?” Fu Chengyan looked at Shi Nuan and she met his gaze.


    The woman was lost for words, but the smile remained on her face. Her hand was under her chin as


    she pondered about Fu Chengyan’s question.


    It will be a lie if I tell him I can’t be bothered, since I’m his legally wedded wife. But no one knows about


    our marriage and Fu Chengyan’s mother obviously preferred Song Jingyu. That youngdy is trying to


    take him away from me. I’d be offended, of course. I can’t pretend as if nothing happened.


    But I was the one who chose not to announce our marriage, so I can’t say anything since no one knows


    about us. Plus, this is his mother!


    “Hmm?” Fu Chengyan rapped his knuckles on the table as Shi Nuan seemed to be dumbfounded. “It’s


    okay if you don’t want to say it. Let’s eat.”


    “Yan, if I say I’m bothered by her, will you think I’m being unreasonable?” Shi Nuan bit her lip and


    revealed her true feelings. She studied Fu Chengyan’s face, but the man suddenly burst intoughter.


    His action astounded Shi Nuan.


    Fu Chengyan’s frigid gaze gradually rxed upon hearing Shi Nuan’s exnation, like an iceberg


    melting.


    Shi Nuan was stunned. “Yan?”


    “No, I am d she bothers you.” The man curved his lips up. “If Song Jingyu bothers you, I’ll ask her to


    leave at once.”


    “No need for that,” Shi Nuan smacked her lips. “I was just saying.” She knew it was impossible to let


    Song Jingyu leave immediately, since the youngdy was Song Zhenyan’s niece. If Fu Chengyan


    asked Song Jingyu to leave at once, his already distant rtionship with Song Zhenyan would worsen.


    Shi Nuan was also certain that even if they asked Song Jingyu to leave now, Song Zhenyan would find


    another way for the youngdy to approach Fu Chengyan. On top of that, she also knew her husband


    didn’t reciprocate Song Jingyu’s feelings.


    “You don’t have to consider my feelings. If you don’t want to see her, I’ll find a way for her to leave.” Fu


    Chengyan noticed Shi Nuan was hesitating to say something, so he stood up and ced his hands on


    her shoulders. “No one is more important than you.”


    Shi Nuan looked up at Fu Chengyan and stroked his chin with her finger. “I just realized you’re getting


    better at sweet-talking me. You did it without even hesitating!” She was actually delighted because Fu


    Chengyan was being considerate of her. But she wasn’t a tyrant either. “No need. I know your


    intentions. I trust you had no feeling for her.”
