I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 282


    Fu Chengyan pursed his lips and furrowed his brows when he saw the two items. He didn’t know what


    to make of it either.


    “Forget it. Let’s just stop thinking about it altogether!” When Shi Nuan was about to keep the gifts, she


    saw two red packets at the bottom of the gift boxes. Her eyes sparkled as she took them out. It was


    given to them by Jiang Shizheng as part of the New Year’s tradition. She couldn’t help butughed.


    “Since when did Grandpa learn how to y tricks like that?” Only he would be able toe up with


    something as borate as this.


    Fu Chengyan shook his head as heughed. He passed the red packets to Shi Nuan while he kept the


    two gift boxes. “Let’s go. I’m sure Grandpa has his reasons for giving those gifts.”


    “Get in the car.”


    “Alright!” Shi Nuan nodded. She continued to stare nkly at the gift boxes inside the car. Even when


    they reached home, she was still unaware.


    It was only when Fu Chengyan opened the car door and ced his hand on her forehead that Shi


    Nuan recovered her senses. “What is it?”


    “We’re home!” Fu Chengyan helped Shi Nuan unbuckle her seatbelt and reached out to touch the tip of


    her nose. “Time to get out!”


    “Oh, didn’t we say that we wanted to light some fireworks for tonight? We have yet to buy any of them


    yet!” Shi Nuan finally remembered after she looked around and realized that they hade straight


    home from Grandpa’s house. How were they going to have fireworks when they didn’t buy any?


    “Get down!” Fu Chengyan helped her out and closed the door behind her. She was pleasantly


    surprised to see fireworks stacked outside Wutong Residence. “This…”


    “Mr. Fu, Mrs. Fu!”


    Zhou Zheng walked out from inside the house and stood in front of Fu Chengyan respectfully. “I did


    what you asked. Would you like to take a look?”


    “Alright!” Fu Chengyan nodded as he passed the car keys to Zhou Zheng. “Well done. Happy New


    Year!”


    Zhou Zheng caught the keys that Fu Chengyan had thrown in his direction. His eyes sparkled when he


    saw them in his hand. “Thanks, Mr. Fu!” He turned to Shi Nuan. “Thanks, Mrs. Fu!”


    “Me? Thank me?” Shi Nuan gave Zhou Zheng a puzzled look. “What are you thanking me for?”


    Fu Chengyan led Shi Nuan into the house as he yelled. “Go home. You have three days off!”


    “Thanks, Mr. Fu!” Zhou Zheng’s eyes sparkled with joy as he left with the car keys.


    He was initially reluctant to run errands for Fu Chengyan on such an important holiday. However, his


    reluctance turned into delight when he found out that he would bepensated with a car.


    Fu Chengyan held Shi Nuan’s hand as he led her into Wutong Residence. She had no clue what was


    going on. When she entered the house, her mind was still trying to figure out why Zhou Zheng looked


    so happy to be running errands on New Year’s Eve.


    “What are you thinking of?”


    Fu Chengyan had changed into his slippers and passed Shi Nuan hers. However, when he noticed that


    she was still in a daze, he smiled as he tousled her hair. “Why are you spacing out?”


    “It’s nothing!” Shi Nuan shook her head and felt that she didn’t seem to be in her element today. “Why


    is Zhou Zheng so happy to be working on New Year’s Eve?”


    “In exchange for a Land Rover.” Fu Chengyan chuckled.


    Shi Nuan blinked in sudden realization. “No wonder he was overjoyed when you passed him the car


    keys. So you gave him the car as a gift?”


    “Of course.” Fu Chengyan nodded as he led Shi Nuan into the house. The living room had its floor


    heating turned on, and it felt veryfortable.


    Fu Chengyan turned on the TV, and they sat together to watch as it was still early. Shi Nuan had taken


    off her slippers and was sitting with her legs up on the sofa. When she saw Fu Chengyan approach,


    she patted on the seat next to her.


    Fu Chengyan sat down and pulled Shi Nuan into his embrace as theyy on the sofa together. He had


    one hand on the remote and the other stroking Shi Nuan’s head. “Zhou Zheng has been with me for


    many years. If you need something and can’t get me, you can go to him right away.”


    “Alright!” Shi Nuan nodded in acknowledgment. When she reached out her right hand and admired the


    shiny ring on her hand, she felt that she couldn’t be happier. “Yan.”


    “Hmm?” Fu Chengyan raised his eyebrows. “What is it?”


    “I love you!” Shi Nuan stretched herself straight to put her arms around his neck and kissed his neck.


    Fu Chengyan hugged her tightly and kissed her back. “Why did you suddenly say that you love me,


    hmm? Is there something wrong?”


    “No, there isn’t!” Shi Nuan lowered her head bashfully. She fiddled with her own ring before fiddling with


    Fu Chengyan’s. “I just realized that I loved you more now!”


    “Is that so?” Fu Chengyan sank himself into the sofa as he hugged Shi Nuan’s waist. With one arm on


    the sofa, he leaned into Shi Nuan’s ear and said, “What a coincidence… I love you more too!”Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    His reply brought her to a halt.


    Shi Nuan could feel her heart pounding non-stop. It was beating so fast that she couldn’t keep it under


    control. She put her hands on her heart and felt that it was still pounding. “It’s so embarrassing!” Shi


    Nuan couldn’t help but mumble.


    “Hmm?” Fu Chengyan raised his eyebrows as Shi Nuan pushed him away. She put a little distance


    between them before cing her hands on her cheeks. “Nothing, I said I wanted to watch TV!”


    Fu Chengyan smiled mischievously, but his eyes were filled with endearment for her. After hesitating a


    moment, he shook his head as he gave her the remote.


    Shi Nuan snatched the remote away without even looking at him. She was worried that she would be


    bewitched by this demon of a man, Fu Chengyan. It was only at that moment she had just realized that


    there was no way she could resist him anymore.


    Fu Chengyan shook his head as he asked, “What would you like to drink?”


    Just as he spoke, his phone started to ring. He nced at Shi Nuan, who stood up and said, “I’ll make


    us some tea as we ate a lot of greasy food at Grandpa’s. You should take the call first!”


    Fu Chengyan nodded. He waited for Shi Nuan to enter the kitchen before picking up. “Hello!”


    “Yan, where are you?”


    It was his sister Fu Jiayu that called. The Fu n was celebrating the New Year at the Fu residence. All


    family members were obliged to be there based on tradition. However, they were missing one of their


    most important members today, and that was Fu Chengyan.


    They had called a few times to nag him about it, but he never showed up. Hence, Fu Jiayu had to call


    him because she had no other choice. “Granddad and father are both waiting for you!”


    “Alright.” Fu Chengyan took a peek at the figure that was busy in the kitchen. His gaze sunk as he


    replied, “You guys should go ahead and not wait for me.”


    “That’s not eptable!” Fu Jiayu was outraged when she heard what Fu Chengyan said. “Yan, you


    have never acted like this before. What’s happening? Did somethinge out at your end?”


    “It’s nothing!” Fu Chengyan’s long fingers were tapping on the sofa armrest. “Please tell Granddad and


    father that I’m noting home today!”


    “Yan!” Fu Jiayu didn’t expect Fu Chengyan to be so direct and stubborn at the same time. “You have


    beening home every New Year’s Eve. If you don’t this time, it will cause an uproar. Tell me, why


    are you…”


    “There are a lot of people at the Fu residence. It doesn’t really matter if I’m not there. Besides, I don’t


    really feel like attending a gathering like that!” Fu Chengyan’s tone changed to be more solemn. “That’s


    all. I’ll hang up if there’s nothing else.”


    Fu Chengyan ended the call and pinched his eyebrows in frustration. He then saw a cup of hot tea


    being served to him, and he could still see the steam rise from it. He squinted his eyes as he picked up


    the cup.


    Shi Nuan noticed that he was in a bad mood, so she inquired, “What’s wrong?”


    However, Fu Chengyan shook his head. “Nothing, something at work just came up.”


    “Yan, don’t lie to me. Nobody would be working at this hour. Did you get a call from your family?”


    Shi Nuan could guess what happened without even the need for him to exin simply because she


    overheard him talking on the phone just now. “You know you don’t have to stay here with me. You


    should go home!”


    “I’ve promised to spend the evening with you!” Fu Chengyan turned off his phone as he spoke and


    threw it aside.


    Shi Nuan frowned. “But your family…”


    “No one is more important than you.” Fu Chengyan interrupted her and motioned her toe over.


    She sat down close to him and leaned sideways against his body. “May, you’re the most important


    person to me. There will always be gatherings like those.” He didn’t feel like wasting his time on those


    people. “Do you want to see the fireworks now?”


    “But, isn’t it too early?” Shi Nuan checked her watch. “It’s just half-past ten. Wouldn’t it be too early if


    we light the fireworks now?”


    “It doesn’t matter what time we light it. At midnight, everyone would be doing the same, and ours


    wouldn’t seem so special anymore. Come on!” Fu Chengyan held her hand as he pulled her along, but


    she pulled back instead and said, “Hold on a second, let’s get changed. It’s too cold outside.” Shi Nuan


    ran upstairs and brought a jacket down for Fu Chengyan while wearing a light purple sweater herself.


    Fu Chengyan’s eyes glowed when he saw her wrapped up like a porcin doll.


    Shi Nuan held Fu Chengyan’s hand as they walked out and chatted along the way. “Are we going to


    light the fireworks in the garden or on the roof? I mean the top floor!” Shi Nuan stood at the entrance as


    she looked at the ss-covered room on the top floor of Wutong Residence. “What do you think it feels


    like to see the fireworks from the roof?”


    Fu Chengyan followed her gaze to the roof. He squinted his eyes and said, “Do you want to know?


    Let’s go up there and find out!”


    “Alright!” Shi Nuan pped her hands as her eyes looked especially enchanting underneath the


    moonlight. “Yan, please carry two boxes up there for us to try. We’ll light the restter.”


    Shi Nuan instructed Fu Chengyan to carry the fireworks as she held onto the camera to record him


    doing it. “Yan, I’ll be recording a video of you. Look at the camera and say hi! Quick, say hi!”


    Just then, Shi Nuan reached out her hand to hold Fu Chengyan’s hand. However, she was ascending


    the steps while walking backward. Suddenly, she missed a step and fell. Luckily, Fu Chengyan caught


    her in time, or the both of them would have rolled down the stairs. “Be careful!”


    Fu Chengyan shook his head and reprimanded, “I think I need to tie you up andtch you onto my belt.


    That way you won’t be able to fall!”
