I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 226


    Fu Chengyan grabbed tightly onto the steering wheel, frowning deeply after hearing what Song Jingyu


    had shouted. His whole body tensed in anger.


    Beside him, Shi Nuan took Fu Chengyan’s hand and gave it a gentle pat. This tiny action miraculously


    calmed him down, and all his aggression dissipated. He was just like a ferocious lion who was on the


    verge of going on the rampage but was pulled back at thest second.


    Fu Chengyan turned to look at Shi Nuan and saw that she was looking at him worriedly. He asked in


    resignation, “Aren’t you angry?”


    “Why should I be angry?” Shi Nuan could hear from Fu Chengyan’s voice that he had calmed down.


    She breathed a sigh of relief andughed, “And how about you? You don’t need to be angry either.”


    “I thought you would be bothered by the things she said!” He was worried that Shi Nuan would lose


    trust in him after hearing all that.


    Shi Nuan raised an eyebrow. “Who do you think I am? Why would I be bothered? You’re mine now,


    wholly andpletely mine. She should be the one who’s bothered.”


    Shi Nuanughed, “Actually, I should be thanking Song Jingyu. I didn’t realize you cared about me so


    much.”


    “What? I’ve done so much for you before, and you can’t tell?”


    Fu Chengyan finally rxed. As long as Shi Nuan didn’t care, then he was good too. These things


    hadn’t bothered him before because back then, he didn’t have her. But now that she’s in his life, he


    couldn’t and wouldn’t let these things progress any further. “Give me a bit of time, and I promise I’ll take


    care of this. I’ll make sure you’ll be happy with the resolution.”


    “I’m not in a hurry. The one who’s in a hurry is you.” Shi Nuan looked at Fu Chengyan and suddenly felt


    a little sorry for him. She had nevere face-to-face with Song Jingyu before, but from the few times


    she met her from afar, she could tell that Song Jingyu was a nuisance.


    Song Jingyu’s identity was a little awkward, and she was under the protection of the Song family and


    Song Zhenyan, so it was no wonder she was a little spoiled. Besides, she appeared to be quite


    obsessed with Fu Chengyan. It was an obsession that transcended normal understanding. Even when


    Fu Chengyan made himself very clear, she still seemed to ignore it. This ability of hers surprised Shi


    Nuan again and again.


    Song Zhenyan was Fu Chengyan’s mother. So as ruthless as he wanted to be, he couldn’t really do


    anything overboard to Song Zhenyan.


    Shi Nuan understood all these and could empathize with Fu Chengyan. Just like her own rtionship


    with the Shi family. Even though she knew Shi Jingzheng and Jiang Yu were biased against her, and


    even though she knew Shi Wei was hostile towards her, she still had to keep up appearances.


    “You don’t need to worry about my feelings. Just follow your own n. I know this is something that has


    to be taken care of eventually, but don’t make things too difficult for yourself.”


    “Okay,” nodded Fu Chengyan while grinning. “May.”


    “Yes?” Shi Nuan looked over to him. “What’s wrong?”


    “I’m so lucky to have you.”


    The two had agreed to have dinner outside, but they didn’t go to any well-known restaurants. Instead,


    they chose a homely-looking one next to Jing University.


    Fu Chengyan was the one who chose the ce, so when Shi Nuan saw it, she looked surprised. When


    Fu Chengyan saw her expression, he gave her hand a light squeeze and asked, “Why? You don’t like


    this ce?”


    Shi Nuan quickly shook her head. “No, I just didn’t think you’de to ces like these. Song


    Rongrong, Su Yian, and I often came here when we were still studying. But I’ve rarelye back after


    I graduated.” Shi Nuan held Fu Chengyan’s hand and walked in. “This ce still looks the same. It


    hasn’t changed one bit!”


    Shi Nuan took Fu Chengyan to a more secluded area and sat themselves down. Because it was after


    ss, there were quite a lot of people eating there. Mostly in twos or threes, male and female, all


    brimming with youth.


    Shi Nuan suddenly started envying those students and reminisced about her own university days, days


    which she could never return to.


    The restaurant looked pretty busy. Even though there were waiters around, it was difficult for them to


    get to everyone in a prompt manner. Shi Nuan and Fu Chengyan had to wait for a while before they


    could ce their orders.


    Because the patrons there were usually teachers or students, the portions were quiterge. Shi Nuan


    recalled the first time they went there. They had ordered quite a lot of dishes. And even after they were


    completely stuffed, there were still leftovers, which they had to bring back in a doggy bag.


    This time, Shi Nuan ordered two simple-looking dishes and a soup. She then looked up and asked Fu


    Chengyan, “Will this be enough? Do you want to order more?”


    With that, she handed the menu to Fu Chengyan who shook his head, “It’s enough.” He didn’t usually


    eat much either. “That’ll be all.”


    The waiter went to ce their orders while the crowd continued to pour in. Soon, the restaurant was


    nearly full, and quite a few students couldn’t find seats. Some girls immediately noticed Fu Chengyan


    and Shi Nuan the moment they walked in.


    Everyone was a little curious about the two, most likely because they didn’t look like they belonged at


    that ce, and Fu Chengyan’s appearance really was too striking.


    “Is that guy from our university?”


    “Impossible! Do you think our university would have anyone who looks as sophisticated as him? Plus,


    he looks older than an average student.”


    “Who said he’s a student? He could be a professor! Or someone in management!”


    “The girl next to him looks really pretty too. Don’t tell me they’re a couple!”


    Though the girls weren’t talking too loudly, Fu Chengyan and Shi Nuan still heard every word they said.


    Fu Chengyan raised an eyebrow, “They said you look good.”


    “They were talking about you!” chuckled Shi Nuan. “That’s strange. I thought universities are on a


    semester break around this time.”


    “Soon, probably,” said Fu Chengyan. “You’ve left university for so long you forgot the semester


    schedules?”


    Shi Nuan scratched her head out of awkwardness. “I guess you’re right. I can only remember my


    working hours now and not school hours.”


    While they were talking, their food arrived. And as Shi Nuan expected, the portions were quiterge.


    They probably weren’t even going to be able to finish what they had ordered.


    Fu Chengyan used some hot water to clean the cutlery before handing them to Shi Nuan. “Go ahead


    and eat. Later we can go for a walk. I asked Zhou Zheng to buy some movie tickets for us. It’s nearby.”


    Shi Nuan’s eyes shone brightly. “We’re really going on a date?”


    “When have I lied to you? C’mon, eat!” Fu Chengyan ced some food in Shi Nuan’s bowl. “Try this.”


    “Okay!”


    Frankly speaking, there wasn’t anything special about the restaurant. Those who were used to fine


    dining would even find the food here tasteless. But when Shi Nuan was still in university, she and her


    friends were quite fond of the ce because it was at least tastier than the cafeteria on campus.


    Soon after, the two soon finished their dinner, then headed out after Fu Chengyan paid the bill.


    There was a river near Jing University. It was quite a nice ce to be especially with the night breeze


    gently blowing. Shi Nuan had often been there before, but she never would’ve guessed that Fu


    Chengyan’s date course would involve walking along the river.


    There were many peoplezing on the riverbank, both old and young. Fu Chengyan and Shi Nuan


    walked hand-in-hand, with Shi Nuan walking following behind. Fu Chengyan took both her hands and


    ced them in his pockets.


    Shi Nuan could only toddle behind him, and she probably looked silly, but Shi Nuan felt very content.


    “Yan.”


    “Hmm?” Fu Chengyan answered, but he didn’t turn around. “What’s wrong?”


    “Nothing, I just like calling you.” She just really liked how things were right then. Quiet and tranquil. The


    two of them had only known each other for half a year, but it felt as if they had known each other for


    much longer, like an old married couple. “Oh! What movie tickets did you have Zhou Zheng buy?”


    “I don’t know, I just asked Zhou Zheng to pick a suitable one.” Fu Chengyan turned around to look at


    Shi Nuan, “You don’t feel like watching a movie?”


    Shi Nuan pursed her lips in thought. “I don’t think there are any interesting movies being aired right


    now.”


    “How about we just ditch the n then?” decided Fu Chengyan. “Where else would you like to go?”


    “I can’t think of any ces.” Shi Nuan shook her head. “On second thought, let’s just head to the


    cinema. I wouldn’t want to waste the tickets; that’ll be a shame!”


    “It’s okay. Let’s just walk around if you don’t feel like watching a movie.” Fu Chengyan squeezed Shi


    Nuan’s hand. “Why are they still cold?”


    He had held onto her hands for so long, and yet, they were still cold and mmy.


    “It’s always been this way ever since I was young. Once winteres, my hands get cold. It’s fine.” Shi


    Nuan wriggled her hands against Fu Chengyan’s. “See, they’re warming up now.”


    “You should put on more clothes next time when you’re out.” He looked at the coat Shi Nuan was


    wearing and frowned. “This is too thin.”


    “Is not! Besides, I have plenty ofyers on.” Shi Nuan wriggled herself loose from Fu Chengyan’s grasp


    and pointed to her coat and the sweater inside. “See, I’m already wearing lots for this kind of weather.


    And how about you? You’re the one who chucked your coat earlier. Aren’t you cold?”


    “It was dirty.” Fu Chengyan insisted. “And with you by my side, I’m not cold.”


    Shi Nuan couldn’t help but blush. “You’re talking nonsense again. I’m not a heater!” How could he feel


    warm just by having her next to him!


    But hearing Fu Chengyan say that still made Shi Nuan giddy.


    “In my eyes, you’re warmer than a heater.”

    “Yan, has anyone told you that your sweet words are irresistible?” Why haven’t I realize that Fu


    Chengyan has this side to him?


    Fu Chengyan grinned, “No. No one.” That was only because he had never said those kinds of words to


    anyone else before, so naturally, no one could have told him that. “My romance is only reserved for


    you. Past, present, and future.”


    Shi Nuan’s heart burst in joy, and she reached her hand out to touch Fu Chengyan’s face. Then she


    jokingly squeezed and pinched his cheeks. “Oh, dear. I really like hearing you say these sweet


    nothings.” She was a helpless romantic and naturally liked hearing these sweet words.


    Fu Chengyan took hold of Shi Nuan’s hands that were still smushing his face and nestled against them.


    “If that’s the case, I’ll say them to you every day.”
