I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 260
The shooting for the advertisements for St. Dee progressed quickly. Shi Wei finished all her parts in a
few days. As for ‘Beneath the Sky,” everything had been finalized. In fact, the first cast member to be
officially announced was none other than Shi Wei.
Even though the news regarding Fu Chengyan and Shi Wei had been removed from all sites, it couldn’t
stop people from continuing to gossip about whether Fu Chengyan and Shi Wei really had a thing.
Having the same thoughts were Fu Xicheng, and Mr. and Mrs. Fu Yuqing. They weren’tpletely
aware of everything being said on the inte, but because one of the subjects of the gossip was their
wife and daughter-inw, all of it naturally weighed heavily on them.
And even though Shi Wei had moved back and had exined everything, it was still a thorn on their
side. However, Fu Yuqing chose to remain silent on the matter. He thought about the Shi family’s
stocks in Shi Wei’s hands, and made it clear to Fu Xicheng to endure it – no matter what happened, he
shouldn’t quarrel with Shi Wei.
But that wasn’t how Fu Xicheng saw things. He was suddenly really remorseful that he had ditched Shi
Nuan for Shi Wei and all the alleged money and power. And now Shi Wei was embroiled in rumors of
infidelity. Fu Xicheng was any ordinary man, and hearing that his wife had a scandalous affair with
someone else made him feel humiliated. This waspounded by the fact that the other party was Fu
Chengyan, someone who was better in both power and social standing.
“I’m back!”
Shi Wei pushed the door open but saw that there was no one there to wee her other than a st
of cold air.
Shi Wei frowned, but the family cook came out right then. “Madam, you’re home?” The family cook was
surprised to see her, but when she saw Shi Wei’s expression, she quickly ducked her head. “Madam,
Mr. Fu is still out. I’m about to prepare some food. What would you like to eat?”
Shi Wei’s expression cleared up slightly. “Anything will do.” Shi Wei headed up the stairs but suddenly
stopped as if she remembered something. “Cook whatever Mr. Fu likes to eat. Let me know when he’s
home.”
“Yes, madam!”
Shi Wei headed straight up the stairs and quickly tidied up the room, changed a new set of sheets and
covers, then took a good long bath. When she came out, she saw Fu Xicheng taking off his coat.
It was clear that Fi Xicheng hadn’t expected Shi Wei to be home so early. But upon seeing her, all he
did was just give her a quick look before walking away. Shi Wei’s anger rose when she saw how Fu
Xicheng was acting. She barely suppressed her anger and asked, “Xicheng, you’re back?”
Shi Wei walked over and took Fu Xicheng’s coat from him. “The cook said she’s cooking some of your
favorite dishes. I’m sure you’re tired after a long day of work. I’m not working for the next few days so I
can have meals with you every day!”
Fu Xicheng nodded and grunted but didn’t give any other response.

“Xicheng!” Shi Wei saw how icy Fu Xicheng was to her and couldn’t hold it in any longer. “I’ve already
exined everything to you and you’ve understood it. Why are you still so cold towards me? I really
don’t have anything to do with Fu Chengyan. You know the person I love is you; otherwise I wouldn’t
have done everything I could to be with you in the beginning! I mean, I even hurt Nuan in the process!”
Shi Wei’s face turned pale and she bit her lips, looking innocent and pitiful.
No one could deny that Shi Wei was a natural actor. What she was doing was clearly working on Fu
Xicheng.
The moment he saw her demeanor, his heart softened.
Shi Wei saw Fu Xicheng’s expression rx a little so she quickly walked over to tug at his arm, like a
little child trying to win favors. “Xicheng, do you still not know how I feel about you?”
“That’s enough. I’m not really mad at you, but you need to be more careful in the future,” Fu Xicheng
sighed. The bottom line was he and Shi Wei were married, so no matter how upset he was with her,
they couldn’t possibly a divorce right after getting married.
“You know how my rtionship with Fu Chengyan is. If rumors about the two of you spread again, it’ll
be very difficult for me and will affect my standing in the family.”
“I understand. To be honest, Xicheng, I think the reason Fu Chengyan is being so nice to be and
providing me with all these resources is because of you. Think about it, I’d never even met him until I
met you. Why would he help me? You were the one who helped get into Xinhuang too. Xicheng, things
between me and Fu Chengyan really aren’t like what the rumors are saying.”
Shi Wei quickly gave Fu Xicheng a kiss on his cheek, then she whispered in his ear. “Do you know
Song Jingyu, Fu Chengyan’s cousin? I think she’s the one behind all this. It’s like she has it in for me.
Actually, I think she has it in for any woman who gets close to Fu Chengyan, regardless of whatever
rtionship they have with him.”
Fu Xicheng narrowed his eyes as if he suddenly remembered something. “Song Jingyu?” Fu Xicheng
racked his brain and finally recalled who Song Jingyu was. “Are you telling me that Song Jingyu likes
Fu Chengyan?”
Shi Wei nodded. “This is all true. Fu Chengyan made the announcement of me getting the
endorsement deal during the annual meeting. And someone took a photo of me with Fu Chengyan and
purposely exaggerated it. Xicheng, I’m sure there’s more to this than meets the eye.”
“If there really is a conspiracy, then you should stay far away from all this. Since things have more or
less settled down, why don’t you take the chance and just leave the entertainment industry?”
“What?”
Shi Wei’s face darkened at his words. “Xicheng, it’s my dream to be an actor. Plus, this incident has
already been resolved. Why are you being like this?”
“Being like what?” Fu Xicheng’s expression darkened too. “The entertainment industry isplicated
and murky. Look at all the things you’ve had to go through since you entered the industry. The Shi
family doesn’t need the money, you don’t need the money, and I certainly don’t need the money to take
care of you.” After all that had happened — and regardless of whether the rumors about Shi Wei were
true or not — Fu Xicheng had lost all good will towards the entertainment industry.
“It’s not about whether you can take care of me or even about the money.” Shi Wei looked at Fu
Xicheng in frustration. “It’s my dream! I’ll listen to anything you say, but this is the one thing I’m going to
stand my ground on.”
“You…”
Quite a few times, their conversations would end on such unhappy notes. Fu Xicheng had his reasons
while Shi Wei had hers. Even though the two lived under the same roof, for the following month, they
barely spoke to each other.
Half a month quickly passed by. Thanks to the effect of the St. Dee endorsement deal, Shi Wei
received quite a few casting calls for her to consider. But it was an awkward period of time for Shi Wei,
plus she was managed by Xinhuang. There was a use in her contract that stated that for the next
three years, all acting roles were to be decided by thepany. Shi Wei would have no say.
But Guan Jing had had a look through the scripts and found that they weren’t that interesting, so it
didn’t matter either way. The more important thing was the uing press conference for ‘Beneath the
Sky.’ Rumors had it that Fu Chengyan would attend as an investor and that was a big draw for the
media.
Even though Fu Chengyan was the CEO of Shengyuan Group and the head of both St. Dee and
Xinhuang, he rarely appeared at these press conferences. With the rumors of his appearance this time,
the media, the entertainment industry, and even the financial world were in shock. No one knew why he
wanted to attend the press conference, so everyone was again dipping into the rumors of Fu Chengyan
and Shi Wei.
But right then, the male party in all those rumors was in a small apartment cooking soup for his little
lady. And the littledy in question was sitting in the living room watching television, sneaking peeks
into the kitchen every now and then. “Yan, are you sure you don’t need my help?”
Shi Nuan flipped through a few channels but couldn’t find anything that interested her. She put down
the remote control out of boredom and walked to the kitchen.
The apartment wasn’t that big. Compared to Wutong Residence, it was practically dainty. But even
though it was small, it still had everything they needed. The only problem was it was a tight squeeze for
both of them to be in the kitchen at the same time.
Shi Nuan stood by the doorway and giggled at the man busily cooking inside.
Fu Chengyan was cleaning a fish when he heard Shi Nuan’s offer. He looked up at her, “Bored?”
Shi Nuan nodded. “It’ste. I told you we should’ve just made something simple. Why are you insisting
on making suchplicated dishes? And so many of them too? That’s one, two, three… four! Four
dishes. How’re we supposed to finish all that?”
Shi Nuan was perplexed. “Are you really that hungry?”
The corners of Fu Chengyan’s mouth twitched upwards. “We’ll finish them. Be good. Go wait in the
living room, it’s too oily in here.”
“Okay,” answered Shi Nuan. She saw that the kitchen was really two small for both of them to cook at
the same time, so she gave up the idea of wanting to help. “How about I just keep youpany for a
while?”
“Are you sure you want to keep mepany or do you just want me to entertain you?” Fu Chengyan
ced the knife down helplessly, wiped his hands, and waved Shi Nuan over. “Come here!”
Shi Nuan quickly rushed over. “Hehe, what does his majesty need? Please let this unworthy one know!”
Fu Chengyan gazed at Shi Nuan from the side. “What are you trying to do?” He reached out to pat Shi
Nuan’s head but remembered his hands were oily so he stopped himself. “You, stop being silly. If
you’re really bored, you can help me wash the vegetables!” Fu Chengyan handed a basket and some
vegetables to Shi Nuan. “Go prepare them outside.”
“Okay!” Shi Nuan nodded. She headed out but turned around and looked at Fu Chengyan once every
few steps, making his heart all tingly. “Alright, if you keep looking at me, we’re never going to eat dinner
tonight.”
