I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 232
“But…” Shi Wei still couldn’t contain her anger. Although she was now famous, she didn’t expect it to
be for the wrong reasons. It was definitely uneptable for someone as vain as she was. It was made
worse by the fact that Shi Nuan was there too.
Shi Wei looked in Shi Nuan’s direction and saw that she was chatting with the guy seated next to her.
Her eyes shed as she took out her phone and took a few pictures of them.
Just then, Su Su nced at Shi Wei and asked, “What are you doing?”
“Nothing!” Shi Wei then kept her phone and looked in Song Jingyu’s direction instead. “Who is she
really?”
“Didn’t you hear her call for Fu Chengyan’s parents just now? If my guess is correct, she is likely the
daughter of Fu Chengyan’s uncle, Song Jingyu.”
“Song Jingyu!” Shi Wei grit her teeth and seared the name into her memory. She was definitely going to
pay her back for the humiliation that she had felt today.
“You should just endure it first. Besides, Fu Chengyan didn’t really say anything much. It appears that
he doesn’t really fancy Song Jingyu too!”
“Are you serious?” Shi Wei’s eyes sparkled. “If that’s the case, then there’s really nothing for her to be
happy about.”
“Yes, so you don’t have to take it personally. Now is not a good time. Don’t fret about it; we’ll get our
chances soon.”
On the stage, Mai Qi made a short introduction and said, “Now, let us wee our host for tonight, Ms.
Song Jingyu, toe up the stage.”
Song Jingyu was back to her usual poise and elegance after the earlier episode. Regardless of
whether she was taught by Song Zhenyan or the Song family itself, she had been exposed to such
asions countless times, and it would be a walk in the park for her.
The pink mermaid gown that she was wearing looked absolutely stunning. The slight train of the gown
was designed to mimic the glittering scales, and they sparkled as the lights shone on them. Ignoring
the fact how Song Jingyu had lost herposure when she attacked Shi Wei just now, she actually
looked picture-perfect.
When she realized that she had managed to capture everyone’s attention, she arrogantly lifted the train
of her dress as she proceeded up the stage. She did not look the part of being tonight’s host, instead,
she looked like she was going on stage to receive an award.

Song Jingyu looked proudly in Fu Chengyan’s direction, and her eyes were filled with delight. Although
Fu Chengyan was looking back at her, his eyes did not carry any simr sense of delight, and neither
was he impressed. He just watched her without any emotion. It was no different from when he was
watching some other random person.
Song Jingyu’s hand, which was holding her dress, paused for a brief moment. However, she quickly
recovered herposure and ascended the stage elegantly. She took over the microphone from Mai
Qi upon reaching the stage. “Good evening everyone, I’m Song Jingyu.”
The audience erupted into apuse while some even whistled.
“I believe everyone is looking forward to tonight’s event. To be honest, so am I…”
Song Jingyu continued talking. In reality, she was a beautifuldy indeed. Or else she wouldn’t have
been taken in by her mother’s old me. It appeared that she took on all the grace and poise her
mother had. When she wasn’t throwing a tantrum, she looked absolutely normal and beautiful, even.
Inparison to the female stars from Xinhuang, Song Jingyu was not at any disadvantage at all. In
fact, she was even prettier than some of them. No wonder she was full of self-confidence and was sure
that Fu Chengyan would definitely fall for her.
Shi Nuan watched Song Jingyu from below the stage and admired her for her beauty. She, too, felt that
Song Jingyu was very pretty.
Even Yuan Jia was dumbstruck by her looks. “I didn’t expect her to be so gorgeous.”
“Exactly!” Shi Nuan nodded. However, she became curious when she noticed that Lin Yu wasn’t really
paying any attention to Song Jingyu. “Mr. Lin, don’t you think that she is pretty?”
“That’s just being superficial!” Lin Yu didn’t even bother raising his head. “I think you’re better looking
whenpared to her,” Lin Yu replied as he seemed to be chatting with someone on the phone.
Shi Nuan couldn’t help but smile when she heard him praise her. “Thanks for yourpliments, Mr.
Lin.” Shi Nuan tried to sneak a glimpse on Lin Yu’s screen and was pleasantly shocked to see that he
was chatting with Su Yian.”
Lin Yu calmly turned his phone to a different angle when he felt that Shi Nuan was trying to steal a
nce. After that, Shi Nuan could no longer see what was on his screen. He smiled at her, “Trying to
steal a nce isn’t polite, you know.”
Shi Nuan raised her eyebrows. “You’re right. But…Yian is a wonderful girl!”
Lin Yu raised his eyebrows when he heard her reply as he pinched his forehead. “It’s tiring to talk to
someone who’s too intelligent!”
Shi Nuanughed as she nodded. “Then I won’t ask you about it!”
Shi Nuan wasn’t a busybody. But if things between Lin Yu and Su Yian did work out, it would definitely
be great news to her. Especially since she knew Su Yian very well, given that she was her close friend.
Lin Yu had many good qualities, and he was always serious about work. Shi Nuan also felt that he
likely was a wonderful person at the personal level, given how he reacted to Song Jingyu just now.
After a while, Song Jingyu finally wrapped up her speech on stage. It was rare for the opening host to
have bbered on for so long. Mai Qi quickly took back control of the situation. “We now invite our
president, Mr. Fu, to say a few words.”
Fu Chengyan knitted his brows slightly. He then ascended the stage with the audience apuding in
the background.
He walked past Song Jingyu and ignored her admiring gaze along the way. When he was in ce, his
eyes searched the audience until he found Shi Nuan. By then, Shi Nuan had already ended her
conversation with Lin Yu. She looked up, and their eyes met. They could see each other smile through
their eyes.
Fu Chengyan turned his gaze away shortly. “Good evening, everyone. I don’t think I need any further
introductions. Today is ourpany’s annual meeting and also our annual appreciation night. Tonight
is when we say goodbye to the old and wee the new. On this special day, I’ll dispense with the
pleasantries. I hope everyone will continue to work hard. Past results are now in the past. Hence, we
need to work together to build a better future. The more we sacrifice, the more we will be rewarded.
Shengyuan has always focused on our employees. So at Shengyuan, what you’re looking at isn’t what
you see now, but the future!
The crowd was worked up after hearing Fu Chengyan’s words. Actually, there wasn’t a need for any
flowerynguage. The best reward for the employees required action, which definitely spoke louder
than words.
“Now, let the meeting begin!”
The audience erupted into another apuse at Fu Chengyan’s signal.
Mai Qi took over the microphone. “Let us begin with the first program for the night, that is, the first
dance, which was simr to what we hadst year. However, it will be conducted differently this time as
I will not be dancing with Mr. Fu tonight. I’m sure you can guess how it’s going to go by now. That’s
right! A few days ago, I have given all of you a number tag to wear! The men’s tags will have a blue
ribbon attached, while thedies’ will have a red ribbon. In a short while, my assistant will take out a
box with all thedies’ numbers inside. Mr. Fu will then pick out one number from the box, and the
owner of this lucky number will have the honor to dance with Mr. Fu himself as a kick-off for tonight’s
event. This is the ultimate reward for all the female employees at Shengyuan!”
The audience erupted into cheers the moment Mai Qi finished. Everyone knew who Fu Chengyan was
and was aware of how big an honor it would be for anydy that danced with him.
“Of course, all of youdies here stand an equal chance. The stars from Xinhuang also have their own
numbers.” Mai Qi’s assistant started giving out number tags to them as she spoke.
Sitting among the crowd, Bai Qing and Shi Wei were surprised to see that this year’s event seemed to
be more interesting.
Though Bai Qing was already an established star with Xinhuang, she never had the opportunity to
meet a prominent person like Fu Chengyan. Thus, even she felt excited. She looked around and could
see all thedies were waiting with equal anticipation.
“I now invite my assistant to bring up the lottery box.”
Her assistant brought up the box promptly and stood beside Fu Chengyan. Mai Qi approached them as
she saw that they were in ce. “Mr. Fu, please pick the first lucky employee of the night.”
Fu Chengyan nodded as his eyes looked into the audience. Thedies in the crowd had started yelling.
“Mr. Fu, pick me! Pick me!”
“Mr. Fu, pick me!”
“…”
Thedies kept calling out to him one after another. Obviously, he was very popr with them.
Fu Chengyan smiled as he searched the crowd. He finally found Shi Nuan among them. His gaze
hinted to her that he was up to something. When Shi Nuan saw him looking at her in an inexplicable
manner, something just clicked off in her brain. She remembered that she kept bugging Fu Chengyan
about the use of the number tag.
Only then she realized that it was for the lucky draw and subsequently the first dance with him.
Shi Nuan had a strong feeling that the number he picked would be hers. It wasn’t because she felt
confident in herself. It was due to the look that Fu Chengyan gave her as if he had everything nned.
Fu Chengyan tried to hold back his smile as he put his hand into the box under everyone’s watchful
eye. It felt like an eternity to them, although it juststed for a few seconds. Their eyes were fixated on
his hand as he put it into the box and pulled it out.
He held the number tag in his hand and calmly showed it around to the crowd. “The number is…”
Song Jingyu, who was still on the stage, stared at Fu Chengyan in anticipation. She was extremely
excited as she waited for Fu Chengyan to call her number so that she could rush forward to dance with
him.
Song Jingyu was smiling as if she had already won. However, her eyes still trailed Fu Chengyan’s hand
wherever it went.
Fu Chengyan stopped at the crucial moment and kept everyone in suspense. “Who do you hope it will
be?”
“Me, me, me…”
Fu Chengyan smiled and repeated, “The number is…” He raised an eyebrow as he continued. “An
auspicious and charming number, 520.”
