I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 405
“Impossible?” Shen Shixiu stared at Shen Qianan coldly. “Fu Chengyan knew Shi Nuan long ago! Do
you really think his love for her would have grown so much within half a year?” Shen Qianan turned
pale upon hearing Shen Shixiu’s words and staggered a step or two back until her legs hit the sofa.
Grasping onto the sofa arms for support, she said through clenched teeth. “You are bluffing. How do
you know all this? You must be lying to me!”
“Do I have to lie to you? I have done a thorough investigation beforeing here. But if Fu Chengyan
likes you in the slightest bit, I will spare no effort to help you. After all, it will benefit the Shen family if
both of you marry. However, the truth is he does not like you, and that’s the reason why I won’t help
you out.”
“I don’t believe you!”
Shen Shixiu knitted his brows and made a call to Jiang Zhan. “Give the information we have gathered
to me.”
Jiang Zhan joined them swiftly and gave the document to Shen Shixiu.
Shen Shixiu flipped through the document and passed a page to Shen Qianan. “Take a look yourself.
See if I’m lying to you!”
Shen Qianan took the document with trembling hands. Her fists clenched tightly as she skimmed
through the contents on the paper. “No… This is impossible!”
“Fu Chengyan is a student of Shi Nuan’s grandpa. I bet you didn’t know that, did you? Do you think that
a man like Fu Chengyan will fall in love so easily?”
Shen Qianan’s eyes clouded over. “But Yan used to treat me…” Yes, Fu Chengyan used to treat me
very well and ede to my request no matter what I asked. And during all those years, he kept quiet
whenever I imed to be his fiancée. I regarded his silence as a tacit admission of his love for me.
Now, Shen Qianan felt like she was the greatest fool on earth.
So it turns out that he has never loved me. He has treated me so well only because I bear a strong
resemnce to Shi Nuan.
A gloomy look fell over Shen Qianan’s face. She staggered backward in a dazed state and fell onto the
sofa. Her entire body was shivering, but she was still grasping the paper in her hands tightly.
I can’t ept it. I can’t ept the fact that I have been wrong all these years. So it was because of Shi
Nuan that Fu Chengyan had treated me so well back then. And he had used me to rid of all the women
around him for so many years! So… Fu Chengyan did not ask me anything during that time when I was
kidnapped because he did not care about me? To think I have thought that it was because he wanted
to protect me!
Shen Shixiu shook his head resignedly at the sight of the dested Shen Qianan. “Fu Chengyan knew
Shi Nuan long ago. So it is not surprising that he has married her. He treated you so well only because
you resembled Shi Nuan, and having you around would help deter other women from approaching the
single him back in the day. After all, you have saved his life before, hence he has promised to take care
of you for your whole life on the condition that you do not break his principles. I guess you have
forgotten about that condition?”
So this is it…
Shen Qianan stared at Shen Shixiu in a daze. Her lips trembled before she let out a patheticugh
while tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes. “Why? Why must you tell me this?”
“Just give up. You can start afresh in life if you give up now. Why insist on something when you know
that nothing wille out of it?” Shen Shixiu asked ndly. He ced his hands behind his back as he
stared at Shen Qianan unfeelingly. In fact, his stare was so cold that it was as if he felt no brotherly love
towards his sister.
“I can get Jiang Zhan to get you a ne ticket if you want to leave now.”
“No! I’m not leaving! Shen Qianan shook her head obstinately. “So what if I’m just her substitute? I
don’t believe that all my years at Yan’s side cannot beat the six months that Shi Nuan spent with him! It
can’t be true love between them! They only met each other at such a young age!”
“Why are you so stubborn?” Shen Shixiu frowned. “In that case, I won’t let you have your way. Don’t
think I don’t know about what you have done in C Country. I have found out whatever Fu Chengyan
has discovered too!”
“I…” Shen Qianan bit her lower lip. “Why must all of you treat me in this way? It’s my life. I have the
right to make my own decisions!”
“Maybe Fu Chengyan will still marry you if you didn’t do what you did three years ago. But now, you
have lost your chance with him. Seeing Yu will always remind you of the choice you have made back
then.” Shen Shixiu cast a nce at Yu, who was sleeping on the bed. Resignation shed across his
eyes. “Except for Fu Chengyan, do you not love Yu’s biological father before?”
“I…”
“Who’s outside?”
Shen Shixiu’s eyes darted to the door, which was slightly ajar. He dashed over, opened the door and
muttered in shock, “Ms. Shi!”
Shi Nuan rubbed her nose in embarrassment before letting out a dry chuckle. “Sorry. I didn’t mean to
eavesdrop. But Mr. Shen, I waited for you in the car for thirty minutes and realized that you left your
phone in my car when I tried to reach you on your phone.”

With that, Shi Nuan waved the phone in her hand. “Have you settled your matter?”
Shi Nuan looked into the room, and her gazended on Shen Qianan’s pale face. Pursing her lips, she
asked, “Should we visit the university another day instead?”
“It’s not necessary. I have settled the matter here.” Shen Shixiu nced at Shen Qianan. “Think about
what I have told you, and let me know your decision.”
“I…” Seeing that Shen Shixiu was about to leave, Shen Qianan stood up hurriedly. “Shi Nuan, can I talk
to you?”
After a moment of hesitation, Shi Nuan asked, “What do you want to talk about?”
Shi Nuan looked inquiringly at Shen Shixiu, who was furrowing his brows but said, “Go ahead, Ms.
Shen, if you want to talk to her. But you can’t take long as I have to attend to another matterter in the
day.”
Shen Qianan nodded and looked at Shen Shixiu. “Can you please excuse us?”
Shen Shixiu nced at Shi Nuan, then at Shen Qianan before nodding his head and left the two
women alone in the room. Shen Qianan scrutinized Shi Nuan’s face as if she wanted to read her mind,
but it was a futile effort. Shi Nuan was only staring back at her nkly.
Shen Qianan pursed her lips. “What would you like to drink?”
“I’m good. Ms. Shen, you can go ahead and say whatever you want to say.”
Suddenly, Shen Qianan smiled and stared at Shi Nuan straight in the eyes. “Did you hear everything
just now?”
Embarrassed, Shi Nuan hesitated for a second before nodding her head. “A bit, but not the entire
conversation.”
Shi Nuan’s outright statement caught Shen Qianan off guard. She fell silent for a long while before
pointing at the sofa. “Take a seat.”
Shi Nuan lifted a brow but still obliged. “Ms. Shen, please speak your mind.”
Shen Qianan asked hesitantly, “Don’t you have anything to say to me?”
Shi Nuan asked doubtfully, “What should I say?”
“You must beughing at me right now!” Shen Qianan bit her lower lip. “Are youughing at me now
that you find out Yan has always loved you, and I’m only your substitute? Don’t you have anything to
say to me?”
“What should I say?” Shi Nuan looked at Shen Qianan in genuine bafflement. “I don’t understand what
you mean. Actually, I’m notughing at you because you don’t affect the rtionship between Yan and
me!”
“I don’t believe you!” Shen Qianan clenched her fists tightly as an incredulous look crossed her face.
“How can you not mind my existence? I don’t believe you! I’m Fu Chengyan’s ex-fiancée, after all.”
“I’m an ordinary woman, so of course, I will mind. But I can think for myself. It’s not difficult to realize
the truth after thinking it through.” Shi Nuan smiled. “Ms. Shen, do you think I’m an idiot?”
Shen Qianan felt embarrassed. “Do you really not mind that Fu Chengyan and I used to be together?”
“You have said it yourself. It’s all in the past!” Shi Nuan was an open-minded person. “Ms. Shen, one
should embrace the future instead of living in the past. Actually, you have never stood between Yan
and me. So it’s really not necessary for Old Master Fu to get you to return.”
Shi Nuan’s graciousness was way ssier than Shen Qianan’s malice. Even Shen Qianan had to
admit that to herself. To think that I have always assumed Shi Nuan would lose to me in all aspects. It
turns out that I’m the loser who has been utterly defeated by her!
“But haven’t you given him the cold shoulder because of me?”
“Haha!” Shi Nuan burst out intoughter. “Ms. Shen, you’re older than me, but why are you so childish?
It’s not because of you that I have given Yan the cold shoulder. I simply hate the feeling of being
deceived. He has told me about you before. So you turning up now is not a problem in my eyes. I’m
only angry with him because he has not told me theplete truth.” Shi Nuan stood up, suddenly
feeling that Shen Qianan was not worth her time. We are simply not on the same wavelength! ”Okay. If
there is nothing else, I would like to go first.”
With that, Shi Nuan left the room.
She did not inform Shen Shixiu about her departure. Given the situation, I don’t think it is appropriate
for us to visit the university now.
But Shen Shixiu was waiting for her beside the car with his usual calm demeanor.
Seeing his tall, broad-shouldered frame from afar, Shi Nuan sighed. After a moment of hesitation, she
walked over and smiled at him brightly.
“Mr. Shen, why did youe down first?”
