I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 364
Shi Nuan bumped into Lin Yu as she was returning to her office. He waved at her. “Shi Nuan, I need to
tell you something.”
Shi Nuan put down the things in her hands before heading over to Lin Yu. “Yes, Mr. Lin?”
Lin Yu nodded. “You need to concentrate more on your work. Keep your emotions to yourself.”
Shi Nuan could instantly understand what Lin Yu meant. She smiled at once. “Mr. Lin, you know what
kind of person I am. I will never bring my personal affairs to work.”
“That’s good!” Lin Yu nodded. “I don’t wish to see any of my subordinates slowdown in their progress
due to their personal matters.” Lin Yu walked into the office with Shi Nuan. “This is thetest proposal
we have. It is already finalized since Mr. Fu has already approved it.”
Shi Nuan nodded. “Yes!” Shi Nuan actually knew about it since it was brought up in her conversation
with Fu Chengyan yesterday night. “Right now, we just have to prepare the documentation, right? After
that, we will be heading to the Prosperous Group to discuss with them the terms of this project. Since Li
Heng isn’t around, Mr. Fu asked us to approach Li Xufan or Li Heng’s assistant, Liang Lin instead.”
Lin Yu hummed in agreement. “After everything is settled, the construction will start around March to
April. The first phase of the construction will take around half a year.”
“Yep. What did Mr. George say though?”
“Oh, he’s fine with the current arrangement. Right now, we are just waiting for an answer from the
Prosperous Group.”
Shi Nuan nodded her head. “Give me a few days’ time. I have some loose ends to tie up.”
“Okay!” Lin Yu nodded. “I think you can leave now.”
“Alright!” Shi Nuan closed the folder containing the documents. “I shall return to my work now.”
“Shi Nuan!” Before Shi Nuan could leave, Lin Yu halted her at the doorstep. Lin Yu cast a puzzled gaze
at Lin Yu, “Mr. Lin, is there anything else?”
Lin Yu quirked his lips. “Don’t believe in everything you see.”
Shi Nuan was slightly muddled. She froze in her spot for quite some time before reacting. “I think
someone told me that just not long ago. Mr. Lin, please be assured that I will be more mindful.”
Shi Nuan left Lin Yu’s office and took a deep breath before she dove into her work.

Even though Shi Nuan sounded as if she was managing her rtionship pretty well, the truth was that
there were a lot of questions she needed answers to. Shen Qianan was a big mystery herself Shi Nuan
could not wrap her head around. In any case, Shi Nuan could only trust Fu Chengyan’s words and not
anyone else’s.
Shi Nuan’s eyes were glued to the documents in front of her but she could not process any of them.
There was a messy storm brewing in her mind. After a few minutes of trying to focus, Shi Nuan decided
to just rest for a while. She put down her pen and closed her eyes while shey down on her seat.
Suddenly, she could sense someone approaching her. She opened her eyes and Yuan Jia entered her
sight. Thetter sized Shi Nuan up before answering, “Shi Nuan, what’s wrong? You look off today.”
Shi Nuan shook her head lightly. “Ah, it’s nothing. I think I slept toote yesterday and I didn’t rest well.”
Shi Nuan pinched her forehead. “Is there anything I can help you with?”
“Oh, Mr. Lin wanted me to hand this to you. It’s some data from our most recent calctions. Perhaps
you might find it useful!” Yuan Jia dragged a chair over and sat next to Shi Nuan. “You really look like
something is wrong with you today. Oh! When I was at the publicity department just now, I overheard
some hot gossip!”
“What gossip?” Shi Nuan asked half-heartedly. However, Yuan Jia was still as excited. “Okay, I’m just
going to shoot my question point-nk. What is your rtionship with Mr. Fu?”
Shi Nuan was stumped. Looking at the anticipation gleaming in Yuan Jia’s eyes, she could onlyugh
helplessly. “It’s whatever you think it is.”
“Hmm… I think your rtionship with Mr. Fu should be… Wait, you are Mr. Fu’s rtive, right? Also,
how are you rted to Shen Qianan?”
Shi Nuan raised an arm in an abrupt move. “Stop right there! Let me tell you something. Shen Qianan
has nothing to do with me at all,” Shi Nuan answered with a sigh. “As for what rtionship I have with
Mr. Fu, I’ll leave it for you to guess.” She gave Yuan Jia a meaningful smile. “Okay, I think it’s time we
get to our work. Are you sure you want to talk to me all day and let your work pile up?”
“Ugh, I forgot all about it already.” Yuan Jia got up in a hurry. “I still a bunch of data analysis to make.
Shi Nuan, I am not going to let you evade my question. I’ming back for youter!”
Yuan Jia’s n to look for Shi Nuan after work to get her answers fell through. Right after work, Shi
Nuan gave Fu Chengyan a phone call to discuss whether would they go out to eat that night or prepare
dinner at home. But before their discussion was done, Shi Nuan was blocked by someone.
She was on her phone as she tapped out of thepany with her employee pass. The moment she
stepped out of the building, she was greeted by the sight of Shen Qianan. Shi Nuan smiled at her.
“You’re looking for me?”
Shen Qianan nodded. Shi Nuan writhed her lips and told the person on the other end of the call, “I’m
afraid I may not be able to have dinner with youter. My friend just asked me out for dinner. You just
have your dinner by yourself.”
Shi Nuan hung up her call and smiled politely at Shen Qianan. “Ms. Shen, right? What are we talking
about?”
Shen Qianan also beamed in response. “The call is from Yan?”
Shi Nuan’s beautiful eyes were full of smiles, but when she heard Shen Qianan calling her husband so
affectionately, there was an additional hint of animosity in them.
Shi Nuan pointed at her phone with her employee pass. She chuckled, “Yeah, it’s from my husband!”
As Shi Nuan expected, Shen Qianan winced a bit but the smile on her face was soon restored. “I can’t
believe he didn’t tell me about his marriage! It’s such a big life asion! Grandpa was also ranting to
me about how Yan didn’t tell him about it too!”
Shi Nuan’s face sunk into itself at Shen Qianan’s words, but she quickly squeezed out a smile. “Yan
said the marriage between a man and a woman is sacred. Thus, we will have to get our blessings from
both the bride’s and the bridegroom’s families. Yan ns to inform our parents once we have set up the
wedding banquet. Oh right, Ms. Shen. Are you my husband’s sister? Because you said you were
talking to Grandpa, and it sounded like you were talking about Yan’s grandfather.”
She thinks that I am Yan’s sister?
Shen Qianan’s face stiffened a bit. “My family name is Shen.”
“Yeah, which is why I asked. Correct me if I’m wrong, but you were referring to Yan’s grandfather just
now, right? Haha, I am so confused right now! So you also call Yan’s grandfather Grandpa too?”
Shen Qianan didn’t want to continue the conversation anymore, as she didn’t want to risk revealing the
fact that she used to be Fu Chengyan’s fiancée, especially since Shi Nuan was now Fu Chengyan’s
legally wedded wife.
Disquiet was scrambled all over Shen Qianan’s face. However, she still appeared calm and collected.
“Perhaps Ms. Shi does not know this, but the Shen family and the Fu family have been friends forever. I
grew up with Yan. Because I see his grandpa quite a lot, I have gotten used to calling him Grandpa too.
It’s not too inappropriate, right?”
“Oh, I see. Yeah, it’s not a big deal.” Shi Nuan felt like there wasn’t anything wrong with it now that she
heard Shen Qianan’s exnation. However, she added, “With that said, I also think it doesn’t matter
whether you call me by Ms. Shi or Mrs. Fu.”
Shen Qianan froze. She didn’t expect Shi Nuan to be so good at this. “Oh, so you would prefer me to
address you by Mrs. Fu instead? Sorry if I upset you by calling you Ms. Shi! I figured it’s better if I call
you Ms. Shi since you and Yan haven’t announced your engagement to everyone.”
Shi Nuan pushed the edge of her lips up and replied, “Bah, it’s nothing. I’m actually fine with it if you
identally spill it to everyone. Oh right, Ms. Shen. Are we going to have dinner or just a drink?”
Right now, Shen Qianan felt like Shi Nuan was having the upper hand in this conversation, which was
not what she had expected at all. In fact, Shi Nuan was soposed as if Shen Qianan was invisible.
Shen Qianan remained quiet for almost an entire minute. Shi Nuan took the initiative to continue the
conversation. “How about this? Since you haven’t been back for such a long time, you probably find
many ces in Jiang City not familiar anymore. Let me bring you around the city instead! I was born
and raised in Jiang City after all.”
Shen Qianan was ovee by awkwardness. “That sounds good! Sorry for troubling you, Ms. Shi.”
“You’re not troubling me at all! Anyway, since I am Yan’s wife, I need to know you better too. Yan has
been pretty busy these days. Please don’t take it personally if he’s been distanttely. If you don’t mind,
you cane and look for me instead!” Shi Nuan gave off the vibe that she was a supportive wife to
Fu Chengyan, which made Shen Qianan rather ufortable in her ce.
Nheless, Shi Nuan didn’t feel like there was anything wrong with her gesture, “My car is in the
parking lot. Wait here for a second, Ms. Shen.”
Shi Nuan left and soon returned in an eye-catching red Ferrari.
She parked the car skillfully in front of Shen Qianan and rolled down the window, “Hop on, Ms. Shen!”
Tsk, how shy you are!
Shen Qianan looked at the woman in the driver seat of the red Ferrari who could pass as her twin. She
resembled Shen Qianan herself a lot, but they were two very different people.
Shi Nuan was unaware of the impression Shen Qianan had of her. Once thetter boarded the car, Shi
Nuan reminded her to put on the seatbelt. “Do you have any ce you’d like to go, Ms. Shen?”
Shen Qianan pondered for a while before replying, “St. Ann Road. Have you heard of it before, Ms.
Shi?”
“Yeah,” Shi Nuan answered as she stepped on the elerator. “There’s something you like to eat
there?”
Shen Qianan hesitated before she replied with a trace of mncholy in her voice, “I used to go there a
lot with Ya… with my friend. I want to see how it looks like now.”
She added, “I grew up with Yan. We’ve been to many ces before. I remember he used to love…”
Every now and then, Shen Qianan would nce at Shi Nuan suggestively. Nheless, it didn’t affect
Shi Nuan’s driving at all. The car was moving at a steady speed.
Shi Nuan was puzzled at Shen Qianan’s sudden silence. “Ms. Shen, are you feeling okay? Why didn’t
you continue speaking?”
“Y-You actually don’t mind?” Shen Qianan turned a doubtful gaze at Shi Nuan.
Shi Nuan guffawed. “Why would I mind?”
“Oh, what I mean is that…”
“To be honest, I do mind it quite a bit. Even though I am very involved in his life right now, I wish that I
were also present in his past too. Oh, how I wish I already know him since the day I was born! In that
case, those who have an eye on my man won’t steal him away from me. He will belong to me once and
for all.”
