I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 431
What do you mean for a boy or a girl?
Fu Chengyan frowned. “She’s only been pregnant for eight weeks. How would I know whether it’s a
boy or a girl!” He looked at the sales representative as though she was an idiot and then said
impatiently. “Bah! I’ll choose for myself!”
She was absolutely stunned. “Only eight weeks pregnant?” Why are you shopping for clothes when the
fetus is only at eight weeks?
Zhou Zheng had just dismissed the onlooking women. He overheard the exchange between the Fu
Chengyan and the sales representative when he returned and failed to suppress a snicker.
Fu Chengyan shot him a look. Zhou Zheng came over immediately and hinted for the sales
representative to excuse herself first before addressing Fu Chengyan. “Mr. Fu, it’s still too early into the
pregnancy so it isn’t necessary to purchase these things now. Moreover, these products can go out of
style very quickly. I reckon that they would have be unsuitable by the time Mrs. Fu delivers the
baby!”
Fu Chengyan looked silently at Zhou Zheng and Zhou Zheng held his tongue as well as he stood by
the side waiting.
Fu Chengyan ced the items he had back down and stuck a hand in his pocket before he stated
staidly, “Who said I was buying anything? I was just browsing!”
Zhou Zheng was bbergasted.
You’re the boss! Whatever you say goes!
“In that case Mr. Fu, do we continue here?”
Fu Chengyan shot Zhou Zheng another look. What do you think?
The two men continued to window shop at Jinghe for another hour or so. Zhou Zheng almost thought
Fu Chengyan was possessed and Fu Chengyan behaved as though he waspletelycking in self-
awareness as he went on to cover every inch of ground on the third floor.
Zhou Zheng was concerned about getting looks and disturbances by other shoppers so he got the
mall’s management to close off the third floor to everyone else except the retail assistants, Fu
Chengyan and Zhou Zheng himself.
Fu Chengyan did not seem too concerned about seriously disrupting the mall’s regr operations.
Zhou Zheng just stood close by as he waited for his boss.
The mall manager for Jinghe came over hurriedly. “Mr. Zhou, why are you here? Where is Mr. Fu?”
The man followed where Zhou Zheng was looking and his eyeballs nearly dropped. “Is Mr. Fu…
shopping in the children’s department?”
He continued to track Fu Chengyan’s movements as though he seemed to have chanced upon
something unimaginable. Zhou Zheng could not tolerate it any longer and waved his arms frantically to
block the mall manager’s line of sight. “Stop looking!”
“Ha Ha, Mr. Zhou.” The manager chuckled as he self-consciously looked away. “Is Mr. Fu here to
survey the operations?”
Zhou Zheng chortled and gave the man an icy stare.
“Shall I go prepare some refreshments? Or reports…?”
“That’s enough. Do you think Mr. Fu is that free? He doesn’t have time for this!” Zhou Zheng felt
gassed even as he said these.
Fu Chengyan had no time for work but was able to shop for clothing for his wife and unborn children. In
spite of what the truth was, Zhou Zheng felt that no one would believe this if he told them.
“But Mr. Fu…”
“You can go now. Don’t ruin Mr. Fu’s mood!” Zhou Zheng had never encountered anyone as daft as this
man. “Mr. Fu doesn’t like to be followed around in a private capacity! And also, no one is to speak of
what happened here today!”
“Yes, of course.” The manager then scampered away.
Despite Zhou Zheng’s best efforts to keep word of Fu Chengyan’s little excursion to the mall under
wraps, it did not seem to have the desired effect. That same night, news of it started to explode within
the chat group that Fu Chengyan belonged to.
The reason for it was that someone shared a video of Fu Chengyan’s interaction with the sales
representative. What made it worse was it featured the sequence where the representative asked Fu
Chengyan the gender of the baby.
When Fu Chengyan was in the showers, Shi Nuan casually swiped away on her cellphone. This was
when a WeChat message came in. Shi Nuan quickly opened up the message when she saw that it was
from the group. That was when she saw the video footage.
Her initial reaction was to look in the direction of the bathroom. When she saw that the doors to the
bathroom was shut, she went to look for Fu Chengyan’s phone. Indeed, the same video could be seen
on it. Shi Nuan held a hand to her forehead. On closer investigating, she gritted her teeth when she
discovered that the clip was shared by Su Shaoqing. “Where did this came from?”
Shi Nuan immediately tagged Su Shaoqing. “Delete it right away or Chengyan will get you for itter!”
Before she could send out her message, others had started to chime in.
Li Heng: Never expected Chengyan to have such a moment.
Bei Jingxiu: I know right!
Su Shaoqing: Woot woot! Ha Ha! Didn’t expect to see such an adorable side to him. I’d say Nuan, your
belly isn’t even visible yet! Su Shaoqing tagged Shi Nuan.
Shi Nuan could not help but chuckle, and replied with aughing emoji.
Then the entire group started to discuss enthusiastically.
Pei Huan: Chengyan is so funny. Nuan, you are only two months in. Isn’t he getting ahead of himself?
Li Heng: What’s the rush? He’s just being silly.
Ning Xi: Didn’t realize Mr. Fu could be so hrious!
Pei Jingxiu too got in on the action. Most of thements were meant to ridicule Fu Chengyan. Most
everyone in the group jumped on the bandwagon, all except for Fu Ling.
Shi Nuan flipped herself around a couple of times in bed and giggled.
It was no wonder Fu Chengyan came back with his handful of purchases. She thought those were what
he got Zhou Zheng to buy, and did not expect that he went to shop for them himself.
Her smile grew broader at the thought of this. Shi Nuan rubbed her still t belly in bliss, “Babies, look
at how much your daddy loves the both of you!”
“Love what?”
Fu Chengyan opened the door to Shi Nuan clutching her belly smiling with all the tenderness of
motherly love, beholding her unborn children like they were a precious treasure. His expression
softened and brightened in response. “How were things for you at home today?”
Both of them were currently staying at the Fu residence. Shi Nuan was to remain at home as Fu
Zhengyun and the rest of the family unanimously agreed that Shi Nuan should not be working given her
current condition. That was why Shi Nuan wrapped her hands and legs around Fu Chengyan’s waist
and clung onto him like a ko when he was preparing to head out for work in the morning.
Had Fu Zhengyun not walked past and gave her a dressing down, Shi Nuan would not have let Fu
Chengyan go.
Shi Nuan could not be faultedpletely though. Since her conception, she had been aware of herself
bing significantly more demanding and unreasonable than usual. On top of that, she was
unfamiliar with the Fu residence. Even though she knew the people there, there were not many
amongst them who thought of her favorably. All in all, this made her feel rather insecure. Shi Nuan was
a career minded person.
She had always been in the opinion that she could still carry on working past the third trimester even
when pregnant. It so turned out that she was stopped and made to stay in by the Fu Residence before
her first trimester was up. Shi Nuan was naturally unhappy about this.
When she heard her husband pose that question to her, she pouted. Whatever good mood she was in
before quickly dissipated. “What do you think? Eat, sleep, sleep and eat. There’s nothing else to do.”
Shi Nuan rolled her eyes as she got out of bed. She clutched Fu Chengyan’s arm with both hands and
tugged on it. “Yan.”
“Yeah?”
With a towel in one hand and Shi Nuan tugging on the other, Fu Chengyan was rocked helplessly back
and forth. He reached out and ruffled Shi Nuan’s hair. “All right, go on and speak your mind!”
Shi Nuan snickered and with her knees on the bed, inched towards Fu Chengyan while keeping her
hands on him. “Let me go back to thepany!”
“No way!” Fu Chengyan shook his head. “That is non-negotiable!”
“Why isn’t this up for discussion?” Shi Nuan sulked as she tugged at his arm. “I think we could really
talk this through. Nobody out there gets grounded this early into her pregnancy. Just look at how many
of ourpany’s own staff are continuing to go to work as usual even when they are with child. How
could you be such a meanie?”
“There’s them and there’s you. They are not my wife while you are!” Fu Chengyan was not going to
relent no matter how Shi Nuan remonstrated. “Be a good girl. It’s your first pregnancy and they are
twins. Don’t have me worry for you, alright?”
Fu Chengyan reached out to pinch Shi Nuan on the nose but she knocked his hand away. “I want to go
to work. At most, I promise not to walk the grounds and just stick to the administrative stuff. Would that
do? Otherwise, I might start sprouting mold at home!”

Shi Nuan looked at Fu Chengyan with herrge watery eyes. Her pitiful expression lodged a lump in his
throat and almost had him nodding in agreement. But Fu Chengyan managed to endure and dig in his
heels. He shook his head. “No.”
“Yan!” Shi Nuan was upset. “Look at me. My belly is not even visible. Moreover, I’m not your property. I
just want something to have something to do, that’s all!” Cooped up at home and having to face Fu
Zhengyun and Song Zhenyan day in day out, Shi Nuan was genuinely worried that she might be
sick from anguish.
Shi Nuan let go of Fu Chengyan’s arm and climbed into bed. She then tumbled about in protest.
“Alright, be careful there!” Fu Chengyan got up as well and reached for Shi Nuan’s hand to steady her.
“Don’t be stubborn. You are no longer responsible for only yourself. Remember that there are two little
ones inside of you, what if… I mean it would be better to be on the side of caution! Just endure this for
a few more months. I’ll take you on a trip after this, how about it?”
“No deal!” Shi Nuan is ying up now. “I don’t want to. I want to go out and work. Just give me an
assignment, any will do. I just don’t want to stay at home!” Shi Nuan hugged Fu Chengyan’s elbow.
She then pressed her head against his arm and acted coquettishly like a child. “Come on! Or you could
put me somewhere close to you!”
