I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 404
The senior manager gasped but continued to report in a dazed state. In fact, he could not recall how
and when he had returned to his seat.
At this moment, Shi Nuan sent a message to Fu Chengyan, who replied almost instantly.
She could not help but giggle when she saw the emoticons Fu Chengyan had sent her. Her eyes
sparkled with amusement.
This man still ims that he is not jealous! It’s so obvious that he’s lying! I have only treated Shen
Shixiu to a meal! Why is Fu Chengyan so jealous this time? He seemed fine when I treated othersst
time!
Come to think of it… Since Fu Chengyan started to use WeChat, he has been using all sorts of cute
emoticons, which even a girl like me doesn’t use!
Suddenly, a word popped up in Shi Nuan’s mind, which best described Fu Chengyan’s recent behavior,
and she blurted out, “Vain!” Fu Chengyan is turning more vain over time!
“What happened?” Shen Shixiu narrowed his eyes at her.
Shi Nuan was jolted back to her senses upon hearing Shen Shixiu’s voice. Repressing her smile, she
ran her fingers through her hair and replied sheepishly, “It’s… nothing!”
“What made you so happy?” Shen Shixiu smiled as he walked over to Shi Nuan’s side. The two
actually looked quite good together. Shi Nuan lifted her eyes to meet Shen Shixiu’s gaze. His eyes are
so gentle, and he’s so nice! It’s hard to imagine that he’s Shen Qianan’s brother. Furthermore, he bears
such a strong resemnce to Shi Yu. It doesn’t matter if he’s Shen Qianan’s brother; it will never affect
my opinion of him!
Judging from the warm smile on Shen Shixiu’s face now, one might mistake him as an amiable person.
In reality, however, he was usually cold and aloof. Only in the presence of Shi Nuan would he smile so
warmly.
Shi Nuan led Shen Shixiu to the car park. “Mr. Shen, I guess you won’t mind me driving this car?”
Li Heng had gifted her this car as her own car had broken down, and Shi Nuan had epted his offer
graciously. Anyway, it’s no big deal to ept a gift from a family member!
Her new car was also a Ferrari, but it was more subtle than the car gifted by Su Shaoqing. Thus, Shi
Nuan had been driving her new car to work recently.
Shen Shixiu nodded and got into the passenger seat. It was apparent that Shen Shixiu was not entirely
comfortable, though. The car seemed way too small for his tall, broad-shouldered frame which was
simr to Fu Chengyan’s.
After Shi Nuan got into the car and noticed Shen Shixiu’s difort, she asked in an embarrassed
tone, “Should I give Yan a call to borrow a car from him?”
“It’s fine!” Shen Shixiu smiled faintly and asked as he put on the seat belt, “I’mfortable enough.
Can you please show me around? I seldome to Jiang City.”
Shi Nuan paused for a moment before replying, “Mr. Shen, you have been in Jiang City for so long, but
your sister hasn’t shown you around yet?”
Shen Shixiu stiffened upon the mention of Shen Qianan before replying, “She’s not from Jiang City
either, so she’s not familiar here too. Furthermore, Jiang City has changed over thest few years. I’m
worried she will get lost, so I have ordered her to stay in the hotel.”
Shi Nuan was speechless.
Shen Shixiu cast a nce at her. “Is there any other matter?”
Shi Nuan shook her head. I wonder what his stand is regarding the whole matter? I have assumed that
he will help his sister even if they are only step-siblings. But now, he is helping me instead! Maybe he
has given up, knowing that he won’t get anything out of Fu Chengyan? Otherwise, he would havee
to Jiang City to find his sister earlier.
Shen Shixiu pursed his lips. At this moment, his phone rang. It was from his assistant, Jiang Zhan. “Mr.
Shen, Ms. Shen is demanding to go out. I can’t stop her. Do you think…”
Frowning, Shen Shixiu said, “Wait for me. I’lle over now!” He hung up the call and said to Shi
Nuan, “I’m sorry, but do you think you can send me to the hotel?”
“Mr. Shen, do you need to attend to a matter urgently?”
“Yes. It’s about my sister!”
Shi Nuan arched a brow but did not say anything as she turned the car around and drove to Shen
Shixiu’s hotel immediately.

When they arrived at the hotel entrance, Shen Shixiu turned to Shi Nuan and asked, “Ms. Shi, if you
don’t mind, could you please wait here for a few minutes?”
“Sure. Does this mean that you will still like to visit Jing University?” Shi Nuan was shocked as she had
assumed that Shen Shixiu would not have the mood to visit Jing University after settling whatever
important matter involving Shen Qianan. She could not reject his request, so she replied, “Sure. I’ll wait
here for you.”
Shen Shixiu nodded and headed into the hotel.
He went to the level where Shen Qianan’s room was on and ran into his sister. She was pulling her
luggage out of the room with Yu in her arms. Jiang Zhan was trying his utmost best to stop her by
grabbing her hand and pulling her luggage back into the room. It was apparent that the assistant was at
his wits’ end. “Ms. Shen, Mr. Shen will be returning soon. Can you wait a while for him?”
“How long must I wait for him? I’m not a prisoner. I don’t want to stay here! Get out of my way!” Shen
Qianan was in a fit of hysteria. She had been locked up by Shen Shixiu for over ten days already and
had no wish to stay in the hotel for another second. Her resolve to leave the hotel immediately was
further strengthened at the thought of Shen Shixiu returning to the capital after he was done with his
work in Jiang City.
She snarled, “Get lost, otherwise don’t me me for hurting you.”
“How do you want to hurt him?” Shen Shixiu taunted as he joined them. Staring at her coldly, he asked,
“Have you had enough?”
Shen Qianan took a few steps backward the moment she saw him. The look of obstinance on her face
was reced by one of fear. She swallowed hard. “You can’t treat me in this way. This is against the
law even if you are my brother!”
“Against thew?” Shen Shixiu sneered as his eyes took on a cold, dangerous glint as he stared at the
angry yet fearful Shen Qianan. “What do you intend to do? Report me to the police?”
“I… You can’t treat me this way! I’m your sister! Why are you helping that slut, Shi Nuan, instead of
me?”
“Let me repeat myself. It’s impossible between you and Fu Chengyan. You wouldn’t be reduced to this
state if he still has feelings for you! After being by his side for so long, shouldn’t you understand him
well enough to know that no one can interfere with his decisions if he is set on protecting someone?”
Shen Qianan’s face turned ghastly white. Her lips were trembling as she failed toe up with a retort.
“Look at yourself. This kid wouldn’t even exist if you really love Fu Chengyan as much as you im!”
“How.. do you know that Yu…” Shen Qianan’s voice trailed off as she caught a cold, mocking smile on
Shen Shixiu’s face.
“Get into the room now. Otherwise, I’ll ask Jiang Zhan to get you a ne ticket for you to return to the
capital immediately.”
Shen Qianan’s face darkened, and she was about to protest, but her words were stuck in her throat as
her spiteful eyes met his menacingly cold ones. “If you want Yu to grow up in a healthy environment,
you should know what to do in the future. Get back into the room now!”
Shen Qianan red at him but dared not do anything other than follow his instructions and return to her
room with Yu, albeit with great reluctance.
After Shen Qianan returned to her room, Shen Shixiu narrowed his eyes into slits and turned to Jiang
Zhan. “Watch over her. If she attempts to leave again, send her straight back to the capital. Don’t call
me again!” He made sure that his voice was loud enough for Shen Qianan to hear from the other side
of the door.
“Understood!”
Shen Shixiu passed the document in his hand to Jiang Zhan. “I’m going out for a while. You take care
of the coboration with Shengyuan. Lin Yu and Shi Nuan from the Project Management Department
will be managing the project.”
“Yes. I will get down to it immediately.”
With that, Jiang Zhan took the document and retreated to another bedroom after making sure Shen
Shixiu had no further instruction for him.
Shen Shixiu pushed the door open and saw that Shen Qianan had already tucked Yu into bed. After a
moment of hesitation, Shen Qianan asked, “Are you coborating with Shengyuan? Was that why you
visited Shi Nuan just now?”
Shen Shixiu lifted a brow but did not reply to her.
Clenching her fists tightly, Shen Qianan demanded, “Why? Why are you standing on Shi Nuan’s side
instead of mine? I’m your sister while she merely resembles me!”
“Let me tell you if you really want to know the reason.” Shen Shixiu smiled cruelly. “It is because you
are not worthy of Fu Chengyan. He has never loved you before, and his only love is Shi Nuan. Now, do
you understand?”
“No. It’s impossible. You… you’re lying. How do you know what Yan really feels towards me? I’ve
known him for ages, while Shi Nuan’s only known him for half a year. It’s impossible that they…”
