I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 424
“But I…”
“Yeah, you did!” Shi Nuan grinned at Fu Zhengyun stammering. “I was asking if Mr. Fu wanted to eat
something just now, but it seemed like you were not in the mood to eat. However, you didn’t forbid me
from eating after I told you I’m going to have a piece of the cake.”
“That doesn’t mean you can eat here!” Fu Zhengyun was vexed by Shi Nuan’s theory. “You should
know better, Shi Nuan! You have worked here for a considerable amount of time. If everyone eats at
their desks, the whole office space will reek of food!”
“Yeah, all the more reason it’s appropriate for me to eat here! The odor of the food won’t leave this
room.” Shi Nuan saw that the water was boiling and poured it over the tea set. “Mr. Fu, please don’t be
angry! For a man your age, it’s better if you stay rxed. It’s not good for your health if you’re all
worked up.”
“You!”
Fu Zhengyun was speechless. He could only re at Shi Nuan. Shi Nuan did not fear him at all. She
smiled gently at Fu Zhengyun in response. “There’s a reason Yan has food in his office. If it’s not for
eating, then what is it for? Am I to offer them to the gods and pray for the prosperity of Shengyuan?”
“Nonsense!”
“Mr. Fu, which part of my speech did I not make sense?”
“Shut your mouth!” Fu Zhengyun mmed his palm on the tabletop. He finally blew his top. “Shi Nuan,
do you have no respect whatsoever for the seniors? Does it thrill you to talk back?”
Shi Nuan tried to hold in herughter. Fu Zhengyun lookedical as he scowled at Shi Nuan. Shi
Nuan put in a lot of effort to maintain a straight face. She still needed to reply to Fu Zhengyun.
“Mr. Fu, my apologies. However, I wasn’t retaliating at all. I was merely speaking the truth.” Shi Nuan
plopped a bag of tea leaves into the hot water and started brewing tea.
Fu Zhengyun felt like he was of no threat to Shi Nuan. He clenched his teeth upon the smug look on
Shi Nuan’s face. He was now even more disapproving of Shi Nuan as Fu Chengyan’s wife.
In truth, Shi Nuan wanted to please Fu Zhengyun, but with Fu Zhengyun’s quirky demeanor, she had a
feeling he still wouldn’t ept her even if she followed his wishes. Furthermore, Fu Chengyan told her
to not take Fu Chengyan too seriously. Thus, Fu Chengyan decided to just deal with Fu Zhengyun as
she saw fit.
Now, Shi Nuan was in a pretty good mood. As she was brewing tea, she tried to initiate a few
conversations with Fu Zhengyun. Soon, the tea was ready to be served. Shi Nuan poured some tea
into a teacup and took it to Fu Zhengyun. “Mr. Fu, it’s been a while since youst visited thepany.
Anything urgent you need to discuss with Yan?”
“Why do you have to know? Do you think I’ll spill anything to you? You are only a normal employee of
Shengyuan. Speaking of which, why are you here instead of working at your desk? So what if you are
Yan’s wife? If you do anything wrong, Yan will not be able to cover for you. You ought to be
professional and keep your personal life separate from your work-life!”
Fu Zhengyun sneered at Shi Nuan. There was a triumphant glow in his eyes. Obviously, he was ted
for being able to find fault with Shi Nuan. Meanwhile, Shi Nuan was both amused and vexed. All in all,
Shi Nuan actually found Fu Zhengyun quite adorable, even though he was superb at pissing people off.
“Mr. Fu, you might not know this. I have taken a long leave. Hence, I…” Shi Nuan purposely dragged
her words. She wanted to revel in Fu Zhengyun’s reaction to her pregnancy.
As expected, Fu Zhengyun’s face twitched. He responded, “If you have taken leave from work, why are
you here? By the way, what kind of leave did you take from thepany? Pft, I should know better! A
woman like you will only ck off once you got what you wanted. You’re only after Yan’s fortune, right?
Gah! I will never ept you into the Fu family! You two better get a divorce!”
“A woman like me?” Shi Nuan gestured at herself. She muttered, “I think a woman like me is pretty
amazing.”
“You shameless witch!”
“I am only saying the truth. Yan thinks I am amazing and that’s all that matters! Also, Mr. Fu, do you not
want to know what kind of leave I’ve taken? Just so you know, my leave is for ten months!”

“T-ten months?” Fu Zhengyun’s eyes gaped so wide that they were almost jumping out of the sockets.
Fu Zhengyun’s gaze moved to Shi Nuan’s stomach. He uttered in total shock, “You’re pregnant?”
Shi Nuan raised her brows jubntly, “That’s right!”
“And you’re happy about it?”
“What are you talking about? Of course, I am happy about it! It’s my first child with Yan. Oh, allow me to
correct myself. Shaoqing said it’s a pair of twins!” Shi Nuanid her eyes on Fu Zhengyun’s face. First,
there was a shock, which was then followed by excitement. Eventually, his face sunk upon itself. “Pft!
So what if you’re pregnant? You’re not the only person who can give Shen Qianan a baby. Have you
forgotten that Shen Qianan also bore Yan’s son before? “
Even though Fu Zhengyun sounded contemptuous, he couldn’t take his eyes of Shi Nuan’s belly.
She’s actually pregnant? The heirs of the Fu family are in her belly?
As much as Fu Zhengyun didn’t like Shi Nuan, he loved kids a great deal, especially when they were
rted to him. Upon hearing that Shi Nuan was pregnant, Fu Zhengyun just wanted to confirm with her.
When he heard that Su Shaoqing had checked on her pregnancy before, he was in relief.
Nheless, Shi Nuan’s pregnancy meant that things were going to get moreplicated from now
on.
“Mr. Fu, you are kidding me, right? You want Yan to ept Shen Qianan’s kid as his own to inherit the
family business even when he’s unrted to him? Oh my!”
“Hmph!”
Fu Zhengyun scoffed. He wanted to continue speaking, but Shi Nuan interjected him with a cup of tea.
“You must be thirsty after talking so much.”
Now that Shi Nuan mentioned it, Fu Zhengyun fell awkward as he found his throat quite dry. Still, he
red at Shi Nuan before epting the cup of tea from her. But when he took one sip of the tea
brewed by Shi Nuan, he was wowed.
The light fragrance of the tea suffused through his oral cavity. The distinct vor of the tea was
extremely familiar to Fu Zhengyun. “From whom did you learn how to make tea?”
Who?
“My Grandpa! He loves tea.” Shi Nuan grinned endearingly. “Mr. Fu, you also know how to make tea?”
“Hmph!” Fu Zhengyun scoffed but he still wanted another cup. “Your Grandpa?”
“Yeah! His name is Jiang Shizheng.”
“Jiang Shizheng?” Fu Zhengyun spaced out for a second. He remembered his aversion to that guy.
“Yep, he’s my Grandpa!” Shi Nuan saw the dark clouds on Fu Zhengyun’s face clearing up and
continued, “Mr. Fu, you know my grandpa?”
“I have never even heard of his name before, how can I know who he is?” Shi Nuan could tell from Fu
Zhengyun’s antsy tone that he didn’t want to talk about Jiang Shizheng anymore. Fu Zhengyun then
sneered, “Don’t think you can impress me with just a cup of tea!”
“I’ll take that as apliment. Thank you!”
“You…”
“What are you guys talking about?”
The office doors swung open. Fu Zhengyun loosened the tie around his neck and stared at Fu
Zhengyun and Shi Nuan. He seemed to be unsurprised by Fu Zhengyun’s presence.
Fu Chengyan ced the documents on his desk and took the seat next to Shi Nuan. He held Shi
Nuan’s hands in his. “Didn’t I ask Zhou Zheng to send you back?”
“I just don’t want to stay at home. Yan, actually I’m feeling pretty well. Why don’t you let me return to
work?” Shi Nuan couldn’t bear the thought of her having to spend eight more months dawdling around.
“No!”
This time, it was Fu Zhengyun instead of Fu Chengyan who disagreed. “You are pregnant now! It’s
better if you rest, you silly woman. From today onwards, you cannote to the office.”
Shi Nuan was taken aback by Fu Zhengyun’sment. She turned to Fu Chengyan in disbelief.
Fu Chengyan only wriggled his lips and smiled. He seemed to have seen thating.
Fu Zhengyun felt like he had said the wrong words, but he couldn’t take any of them back now.
Moreover, now that Shi Nuan was pregnant with the children of the Fu family, he needed to tolerate her
as much as he despised her.
“From tomorrow onwards, the two of you are staying in the Fu Residence!” Fu Zhengyun nced at Shi
Nuan then at Fu Chengyan. “Pregnancy is a big thing. You guys have nothing at Wutong Residence. It
is not suitable for Shi Nuan to stay there for the sake of the baby. Come to the Fu Residence! Your
Mom and Dad, as well as Aunt Ning and Uncle Heng, can take care of her!”
“But I-” Shi Nuan was about to say something when Fu Chengyan squeezed her hands gently. It was a
sign for her to stop talking. Fu Chengyan helped Shi Nuan up from her seat. “Alright then!”
Fu Zhengyun heard Fu Chengyan’s affirmative answer and the frown on his face eased up. At least Fu
Chengyan still listened to him, he figured. “Then that’s settled! Bring her to the Fu Residence after
work.”
It was the biggestpromise Fu Zhengyun ever made.
Fu Zhengyun turned his gaze to Fu Zhengyun. “You asked me toe here because of this?”
Fu Chengyan’s brows perked up. Neither did he nod or shake his head. Both Shi Nuan and Fu
Chengyan were flummoxed.
Shi Nuan and Fu Zhengyun were still waiting for Fu Chengyan’s answer when Fu Chengyan smiled
indifferently at Fu Zhengyun. “Does it really matter?”
Fu Zhengyun rolled his eyes. “Hmph!”
Before storming off from the office, Fu Zhengyun gave Shi Nuan’s stomach onest nce. He
grunted, “After work, you twoe to the Fu Residence for dinner!” Then, he left the ce.
Shi Nuan was stumped by Fu Zhengyun’s actions. She couldn’t quite wrap her head around his
conflicting behavior.
She turned to Fu Chengyan in puzzlement. “You asked Grandpa toe here to tell him about my
pregnancy?”
Fu Chengyan smacked his lips. “Is it really that important?”
Shi Nuan shook her head then nodded. “No, but how do you know I’ll be here? Also, you know how
Grandpa is like! Every time I bump into him, we’ll for sure get into an argument. What if Grandpa gets
so pissed off at me that he fainted? Or, what if Grandpa did something to me?”
“Come over.”
