I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 263


    “Yan, aren’t you being overly cautious?” It wasn’t just Su Shaoqing. Shi Nuan, too, felt that Fu


    Chengyan was going a little overboard.


    Just then, Fu Chengyan’s phone started ringing. He picked up his phone, saw the name on the disy,


    and waved it in front of Su Shaoqing and Shi Nuan. “Speak of the devil.”


    Fu Chengyuan answered the call. “Hello?”


    “Yan, it’s me, your uncle!”


    “I know,” Fu Chengyan smirked. “What can I do for you, uncle?”


    “Are you free tomorrow? Let’s meet up. We haven’t seen each other in a while.” Song Huaiyan’s


    dignified and authoritative tone travelled clearly through the phone.


    Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to signal Su Shaoqing and Shi Nuan to keep


    silent. He then shifted his seating position and used his other hand to hold Shi Nuan’s, gently


    squeezing her hand and ying with her fingers absentmindedly.


    “Uncle, you’re in Jiang City?” Fu Chengyan sounded indifferent, causing Song Huaiyan to frown


    slightly. “Yes. Jingyu had left home for many months now, and she refuses to go back to the capital. I


    miss her so much that I decided toe here myself.”


    “That’s great. Jingyu and my mother have been staying at the Fu family house for a while now. Since


    you’re here, be sure to stay for a few more days, then you can arrange for mother and Jingyu to travel


    back with you.”


    “This…” Song Huaiyan wouldn’t have guessed that the normally dignified Fu Chengyan would forget


    his manners and be so frank with him.


    Song Huaiyan was at a loss for words, but Fu Chengyan chuckled lightly. “I’ll rearrange my schedule


    tomorrow so I can meet up with you, uncle. Come to think about it, I haven’t seen you since that


    incident happened three years ago.”


    His words hid a deeper meaning, but it was clear that Fu Chengyan didn’t think much of his uncle Song


    Huaiyan. Despite how agitated he felt, Song Huaiyan couldn’t say anything. “That’s good then. How


    about tomorrow morning? I’ll be…”


    “You’re the guest, so I’ll sort out the location and let you know tomorrow. It’s gettingte, so I think I


    should go. Please excuse my discourtesy.”


    Fu Chengyan hung up the call first, a crafty and mocking smile burgeoning on his face. Su Shaoqing


    clucked his tongue at Fu Chengyan. “Fu Chengyan, you’re getting ahead of yourself. No matter where


    you stand today, Song Huaiyan is still your uncle and your elder. Aren’t you afraid of angering him?”


    Fu Chengyan sniggered, his eyes filling with contempt. “Do you think he’ll go against me when he’s


    trying his best to orchestrate this wedding between me and Song Jingyu?” Fu Chengyan tapped his


    fingers. “Alright, you’ve enjoyed the show. You can scram now.”


    “Fu Chengyan, you’re getting really good at using people and kicking them aside when you’re done!”


    Su Shaoqing whine indignantly, but was still self-aware enough to let himself out.


    After Su Shaoqing left, Shi Nuan turned to look at Fu Chengyan. “Are you sure it’s alright to openly go


    against your uncle?” Shi Nuan was still worried.


    Even though Shi Nuan had never met Song Huaiyan, she had seen what Song Zhenyan and Song


    Jingyu were capable of. Those two were a pain to deal with. Many a time Fu Chengyan made his


    intentions crystal clear through his actions and words, so clear that it made her, an outsider, feel


    awkward. And yet Song Zhenyan and Song Jingyu still feigned ignorance.


    Fu Chengyan smiled, pulled Shi Nuan into his embrace, and caressed her. “Don’t worry, I know what


    I’m doing. If I weren’t certain, I wouldn’t be doing it.”


    “Alright,” nodded Shi Nuan. “So you’re really going to see your uncle tomorrow? Why do you think he


    came over?”


    “To get to the bottom of things,” Fu Chengyan sniggered. “My uncle does things meticulously and


    always thinks things through. He doesn’t trust others; he has to be the one to do it so he can be sure.”


    “So you’re going to meet him tomorrow to cate him?” Shi Nuan raised an eyebrow, but burst into


    laughter when she saw Fu Chengyan’s surprised expression. “I guessed correctly?”


    “This is why I always say that our May is a very smart and teachable.” Fu Chengyan tapped Shi Nuan’s


    nose affectionately. “He’s not nning to take action this time round. As much as he spoils Song


    Jingyu, he wouldn’t ruin his ns just for her.”


    “So you’re saying that Song Jingyu is part of a bigger n?” Shi Nuan couldn’t fully understand what


    Fu Chengyan was getting at, but she could tell that Song Huaiyan had many tricks up his sleeve.


    “That’s very likely. I don’t know what his end goal is, but I know he is very ambitious. Before the


    rtionship between Fu n and the Song family became tense, he stayed under the radar, biding his


    time, but it seems like he’s getting impatient now,” Fu Chengyan smiled. “This is something that needs


    to be taken care of eventually.”


    “By the way, you mentioned ‘three years ago’ earlier. What happened three years ago?” Shi Nuan


    remembered that Fu Chengyan had spoken through gritted teeth, and his displeasure towards Song


    Huaiyan was obvious.


    Fu Chengyan’s eyes flickered as he frowned slightly, but he quickly regained hisposure. He then


    looked at Shi Nuan for a second before answering, “It’s nothing. There was a conflict between the Fu


    family and the Song family. It’s a long story and it’s gettingte now. I’ll tell you about it next time.”


    “Okay,” nodded Shi Nuan. Her intuition told her that there was a lot more to the story, but since Fu


    Chengyan wasn’t ready to share, she wasn’t going to push him. “Then let’s go to bed. You need to be


    well-rested to go see your uncle tomorrow.”


    …


    For the meeting location, Fu Chengyan reserved thergest private room in Yun Shui Jian, the


    restaurant that he frequented.


    Fu Chengyan had sent Zhou Zheng to pick Song Huaiyan up, and the two arrived at nearly the same


    time.


    Zhou Zheng knocked before opening the door to the private room. He ushered Song Huaiyan in as he


    announced his arrival, “Mr. Fu, Mr. Song has arrived.”


    “Uncle, pleasee in.” Fu Chengyan turned to Zhou Zheng, “Have someone prepare some tea.” He


    then levelled a gaze at Song Huaiyan, “It’s been three years since I’ve seen you, so I’m not sure if your


    preference has changed.”


    “It’s fine.” Song Huaiyan took off his coat and studied Fu Chengyan intently.


    It had been three years since theyst met. The somewhat boyish-looking young man from his memory


    had grown up considerably. Not much had changed in terms of his appearance, but his whole aura and


    the way he held himself waspletely different.


    The Fu Chengyan from three years ago still had traces of an immature youngster, but the Fu Chengyan


    today had morphed into someone who exuded confidence, and even danger. This wasn’t something


    the average person could aplish.


    Those Song Huaiyan’s shrewd eyes settled on Fu Chengyan and he smiled, “You’ve really matured


    over the years.”


    “Thank you, uncle. Please sit.”


    Fu Chengyan poured a cup of tea for Song Huaiyan and said, “I’ve already ordered. I made sure to


    select dishes that you used to enjoy.”


    “Good, good!” Song Huaiyan nodded. “You’re a good boy.”


    Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes, and his gaze sharpened when he heard Song Huaiyan calling him “a


    good boy.” “I’m sure you didn’t want to meet today just to catch up,” said Fu Chengyan. “When did you


    come to Jiang City?”


    “Yan sure is all-knowing. You’ve got a line on every little thing that happens in Jiang City, don’t you?”


    “You’re exaggerating, uncle. Jiang City is sorge, it’d be impossible for me to know everything, much


    less trivial, incidental things,” Fu Chengyan replied, but quickly changed the topic before Song Huaiyan


    could make a scene. “Oh, you haven’t met up with my mother and Song Jingyu, have you?”


    Song Huaiyan froze. He was already feeling agitated, and his unease was only made worse by Fu


    Chengyan’s brazen taunts. However, Fu Chengyan changed the topic before he had a chance tosh


    out at him, and so he could only swallow his anger. “Yes, I arrivedst night, so I haven’t seen your


    mother nor Jingyu.”


    “Then it seems like you favor me the most,” remarked Fu Chengyan pointedly. “Mother and Song


    Jingyu have been staying at the Fu house for a while now. Once you’re done with your business, you


    can bring them home with you. Both mother and Song Jingyu grew up in the capital and aren’t used to


    living in Jiang City. They’veined multiple times to my mother and my other uncle.”


    “Really?” Song Huaiyan looked a little surprised. “Your mother has never mentioned it to me, though.”


    He continued, “Not use to it? Your mother married into the Fu family, so she’s a member of the Fu


    family now. Regardless of whether she’s used to living here or not, she will always be a member of the


    Fu family, and she’ll just have to get used to it. As for Jingyu, she and you…”


    “Song Jingyu is my sister, so I’ll naturally look after her. But I can’t do it forever. Isn’t it the same with


    you, uncle? Even though she’s your daughter, she’s going to marry someone someday, and you


    naturally won’t be with her forever. Don’t you agree?”


    “You… Yan, there’s only the two of us here today, so let’s not beat around the bush. What are your


    intentions towards Jingyu? You know she’s not my biological child, so there is nothing immoral or


    hical about the two of you getting together. Jingyu’s feelings for you are very real and very sincere.


    And let’s not forget, three years ago, the two of you…”


    “Uncle, since you’re being straightforward, then so shall I. I’ve made my intentions very clear to you


    since three years ago. Song Jingyu is like a sister to me, and that’s all she’ll be for the rest of my life,


    unless you remove her from the Song family registry. But you should also understand that if you do so,


    she’ll have no rtion with the Song family and even less so with me. In my eyes, she’s always been


    and always will be an outsider.”


    “You… Yan, are you sure this is how you want to treat Jingyu? She gave herself to you three years


    ago. I don’t want to force you, but the things you did three years ago…”


    “I think you are still unclear about some things. I’m sure you’ve looked into Shi Wei. From today


    onwards, if you even so much as harm a hair on her head, I’ll make sure to return the favor twofold.”


    “Yes, that’s right, I’ve looked into her, and I know that she’s married. What about her is better than


    Jingyu?”This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    “Don’t you see? I’d rather be with a married woman than with a crazy person. Do you still not


    understand?”
