I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 365


    It was obvious that Shi Nuan’s words were directed at Shen Qianan, who was suddenly at a loss for


    words. She didn’t expect that Shi Nuan had such a sharp tongue. No matter what Shen Qianan said,


    Shi Nuan would be able to turn the table around against her. Shen Qianan was at her wits’ end.


    Three years ago, there were also a lot of women swarming around Fu Chengyan. However, Shen


    Qianan pruned off all of them. Even the toughest woman had to be wary of Shen Qianan, as she was


    verymitted to get rid of the women who were interested in Fu Chengyan. Shen Qianan assumed


    that any woman trying to get close to Fu Chengyan must be after his fortune or his power.


    At first, Shen Qianan also thought Shi Nuan was like those women she chased out of Fu Chengyan’s


    life before. But she soon found that the woman was quite hard to deal with.


    Since Shen Qianan didn’t say anything else, Shi Nuan decided to just drop the conversation. In the car,


    there was only the sound of cool air gushing out of the air conditioner. Shen Qianan was bemused


    when they reached their destination. “Ms. Shi, are you sure we are at the right ce? This doesn’t


    seem like…”


    Shi Nuan raised her brows slightly. “Yeah, we’re not on St. Ann Road. So sorry! I forgot to tell you


    earlier that St. Ann Road no longer exists after a series of redevelopments we had in the past three


    years.” Shi Nuan smiled from ear to ear. “Z Nation has been growing pretty fast as ofte. Many parts


    of the country have been redeveloped. It’s not surprising at all that you don’t know that St. Ann Road is


    now gone. You haven’te back for such a long time!”


    The two of them got off the car. “There’s a teahouse over there. The scenery is quite pretty. I think you


    will like it!”


    A teahouse?


    The despondence on Shen Qianan’s face disappeared. She turned to face Shi Nuan with a slightly


    more pleasant expression. “Ms. Shi, you’re a tea person?”


    “Yeah. But both of my grandfathers love it even more than me!” Shi Nuan led Shen Qianan inside the


    teahouse. Su Yian was talking to the employees. When she saw Shi Nuan, a big smile broke out on her


    face. But as her eyes moved to Shen Qianan, she seemed confounded.


    Su Yian was about to say something but Shi Nuan was ahead of him. “Ms. Su, nice to meet you!”


    Su Yian replied warmly, “Ms. Shi, I haven’t seen you in such a long while! By the way, is thisdy over


    here your sister?”


    Shi Nuan chuckled a little. “Ms. Shen, this is Ms. Su, the owner of the Ruyi Tea House. Ms. Su, this is


    my coworker Shen Qianan. Yesterday was her first day at work! I’m bringing her around the city as she


    is still unfamiliar with a lot of ces here.”


    Shi Nuan then queried, “Is there room for us?”


    “Of course, there is! Ms. Shi and Ms. Shen, please follow me!” Su Yian personally led the two women


    to a table. On their way there, Su Yianmented, “You guys are two peas in a pod! If I didn’t know


    you, I might have thought that Ms. Shen is your sister!”


    “Oh really?” Shi Nuan grinned. “When I first met Ms. Shen, I also thought so too! If I didn’t know my


    Mom only gave birth to me and my elder sister, I might have thought Ms. Shen is also my sister!”

    Although it was only meant to be small talk, Shi Nuan’s words stuck in the minds of both Shi Nuan


    herself and Shen Qianan.


    Earlier on, Shi Nuan knew she was actually not from the Shi family. Coincidentally, Shen Qianan


    showed up in her life. The resemnce between herself and Shen Qianan made Shi Nuan suspect that


    she was indeed Shen Qianan’s sister.


    Meanwhile, Shen Qianan also thought that it couldn’t be possible for two people to look so alike. The


    only possible exnation was that they were either biological twins or sisters. However, she couldn’t


    understand why had she not heard of Shi Nuan before, much less known that her mother had another


    daughter.


    Su Yian pushed apart the doors to a private lounge. “Ms. Shi, Ms. Shen, this way please!”


    As the twodies were about to enter the room, Su Yian tugged on Shi Nuan’s hand. “Ms. Shi, we have


    a new batch of tea leaves. Would you like to have a look at them? Since your friend is here, why don’t


    you try out thetest tea we have with her?”


    “That sounds good!” Shi Nuan nodded with anticipation. “Ms. Shen, excuse me for a second.”


    “No problem!” Shen Qianan sat down and ced her handbag next to her. She was also d that she


    had some time alone as she needed to think of a way to deal with Shi Nuan. Until now, it seemed like


    no matter what Shen Qianan did, Shi Nuan waspletely unaffected. Moreover, Shi Nuan was


    always able to turn the tide right away, which made Shen Qianan uneasy.


    Shen Qianan had returned to Z Nation not only for Fu Chengyan but also for herself. She regretted


    deeply what happened three years ago. If she could go back in time, she would never have left Fu


    Chengyan.


    Su Yian took Shi Nuan to a ce where the two of them could not be heard by anyone else. “What’s


    going on? Who’s that girl? Why is she with you?”


    Shi Nuan shook Su Yian’s hands away from her forearm. She said disgruntledly, “Calm down. Don’t


    shoot me so many questions at once. So you also think the two of us look very alike, huh?”


    Su Yian nodded earnestly. “If I hadn’t known you, I might have thought that she is-”


    “Let me tell you who she is! She’s Shen Qianan, Fu Chengyan’s ex-fiancée!”


    “What?” Su Yian’s jaw dropped to the ground. Her eyes were bulging as she responded, “You can’t be


    kidding me, right? That girl is Fu Chengyan’s ex-fiancée? But the two of you…”


    Su Yian’s face was lined with worry. “Not like I think that it’s a problem, but you sure are very open-


    minded! Have you never had the thought that Fu Chengyan married you because of…” Su Yian didn’t


    want to continue as the remaining words were not pleasant to the ears. However, she felt that as Shi


    Nuan’s friend, there was a need for her to say what needed to be said. “Wouldn’t you think that Fu


    Chengyan had wanted you because of how you resemble-”


    “I know what you mean. Of course, I’ve thought of that before, but Yan wants me to trust him.”


    “Then, what about yourself?” Su Yian could feel that Shi Nuan was not voicing out her mind. “You really


    don’t feel like there’s something fishy going on?”


    “How is it possible for me to not overthink?” Shi Nuan sighed. “But what can I do? I am already


    engaged to Yan. If Yan really married me because of Shen Qianan, then now that Shen Qianan is


    back, he can very well divorce me and get back with her. However, he did not do so!”


    The fact that Fu Chengyan didn’t leave Shi Nuan for Shen Qianan was proof that he had married Shi


    Nuan for who she was herself. Shi Nuan had confidence in her husband, but not so much in the people


    from the Fu family.


    “Okay, let’s say Fu Chengyan did marry you for who you are, how are you so sure that the Fu family is


    not up to something?” Su Yian was quite smart. She could immediately point out the issue at hand.


    After all, she was a schr who had won many schrships before. “Also, why is Shen Qianan


    working at Shengyuan? Did the Fu family arrange for it?”


    Shi Nuan nodded with a gulp. Su Yian sneered, “Even a good-natured person like me is getting furious.


    I don’t understand how you can be so courteous that you even brought her here.”


    Shi Nuan smiled at her. “I’m so d to have a friend who would stick up for me like you.” She then


    shook her head. “It’s not that I can bear with her. It’s just that if I get angry, then my enemies would


    have their way!”


    Su Yian shook her head, smiling. Meanwhile, the employees at the teahouse brought the new tea to Su


    Yian. She passed the tea to Shi Nuan and said, “Why are you so nice to her then?”


    “I want to know more about her.” Shi Nuan was not dumb. “She was the one who asked me out. If I


    didn’t agree toe with her, then doesn’t that make me petty? Also, I’m Yan’s wife. Why should I be


    scared of her?”


    “That’s my girl!” Su Yian patted Shi Nuan on her shoulder. “Alright, don’t leave your love rival alone for


    too long!”


    My love rival? Pfft! As if she is worthy of being one!


    Shi Nuan brought the tea leaves back to the private lounge. Upon entering the room, she could see


    Shen Qianan brewing tea in an elegant manner. It was obvious that tea-brewing was something she


    learned growing up, which spoke volumes of how sophisticated her background was.


    Shen Qianan realized Shi Nuan was in the room and beckoned her to sit down. “Ms. Shi,e and


    have a taste of my tea! It’s the one Yan likes the most!”


    Shi Nuan smiled faintly. “Is that so? Let me have a try!”


    Shi Nuan held the small teacup Shen Qianan passed to her and took a whiff of the aromatic tea. “Ms.


    Shen, you are so good at brewing tea! This smells amazing!”


    “Thank you! Since young, my parents have taught me how to brew tea. They even had teachers over to


    instruct me on tea-brewing. However, I am only an amateur though.”


    “Oh really?” Shi Nuan took a sip of the tea and had to admit that Shen Qianan was quite proficient in


    tea-brewing. In fact, the tea she made surpassed that of an amateur’s. “It doesn’t matter if you are not


    a professional. My grandpa always said that as long as we strive to do better, it is enough.”


    Shen Qianan’s face stiffened. “You’re talking about your maternal grandfather?”


    Shi Nuan nodded. “Yeah. My grandpa is a professor from Jing University. He was Yan’s lecturer back


    then. Since Ms. Shen knows Yan well, you must know my grandpa too!”


    Shen Qianan’s face was pale. “I-I don’t know your grandpa.”


    “Really? Oh, Yan used to skip grades when he was studying. When he was at university, I think the two


    of us were still in elementary school.”


    Shen Qianan’s face was even more rigid now. “Yeah, I guess so. When Yan was in university, I think I


    was i-in the capital.”


    “Oh, I see. Anyway, Yan was my grandpa’s most favorite student. Grandpa said he was gifted. Even his


    seniors were not on his level!” Shi Nuan took the tea brewing set from Shen Qianan and started to


    make tea with the new tea leaves.


    “My grandpa was the one who taught me how to brew tea. If I’m not wrong, Yan also learned tea-


    brewing from my grandpa. Have you tried Yan’s tea before?”


    “Nope, I haven’t.”


    Shen Qianan had never tasted tea made by Fu Chengyan himself. Since the moment she got together


    with him, he already started working at Shengyuan. He was busy on a daily basis, so there wasn’t a


    chance for him to make tea for Shen Qianan.


    Shi Nuan wriggled her lips. “I have tried Yan’s tea. It tastes like mine. After all, we were taught by the


    same person. Why don’t you have a try?”


    As Shi Nuan brewed the tea, she arranged the dainty teacups on the table. “My grandpa said there are


    a lot of factors when ites to the aroma and the taste of the tea. Not only do the tea leaves and the


    water matter, but even the tea sets used to brew the tea will make a big difference in how the tea turns


    out. Everything needs toplement each other. The end result won’t be pleasant if nothing matches!”


    Shi Nuan then passed a cup of tea she made to Shen Qianan. “Try this!”
