I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 458
Lin Yu’s expression looked off. He felt a little on edge when Shi Nuan stared at him in that manner, but
he still replied, “Oh, it’s nothing. I tried getting in touch with hertely, but she seemed busy all the time.
Perhaps she just didn’t see my texts?”
Revtion shone on Shi Nuan’s face. Ah, Su Yian stopped chatting with Lin Yu in private, so he is
looking for her now?
Mischief shone in Shi Nuan’s eyes. She felt that Lin Yu and Su Yian would be great together, so she
pretended to be deep in thought. Later, she replied hesitantly, “It’s probably nothing, but some time
ago, Yian went to a speed dating convention. I guess she made a few friends there and has been
hanging out with them.”
“Speed dating? Friends?”
Lin Yu caught those two keywords. He narrowed his eyes at Shi Nuan and asked, “Did you just say that
Ms. Su went to a speed dating convention?” Lin Yu stared at her suspiciously. It was clear that he didn’t
think Su Yian to be the type who would speed date people.
Shi Nuan guessed what Lin Yu was thinking, so she sighed and replied, “Yian is not worried about not
marrying soon or anything like that, but she couldn’t bring herself to say no to her parents. You know
how the previous generation is. They worry that their children will start dating at school. Yet, as soon as
the kids start working, the parents start worrying about them refusing to get married. Yian’s parents are
like that. They are especially nervous because they know me as well, and when I got married, they
became even more worried about Yian. Yian has always been an obedient kid; she always does what
her parents ask of her. Although… I guess it’s not a bad thing for her to go to that speed dating
convention. She’s single, so it’s good that she’s meeting a few more eligible bachelors, isn’t it?”
Shi Nuan examined Lin Yu’s expression as she spoke. She realized that he looked grimmer than she
had ever seen before, and that made her certain that she had guessed right. Hence, she continued, “I
heard from Yian that she met a couple of pretty amazing men. They’re not ridiculously rich, but they are
still sessful individuals. Leading an ordinary life with regr home folks is pretty awesome too, don’t
you think?”
“Did you say Yian is currently into a guy?” asked Lin Yu as his face darkened.
“I don’t know if she’s into him because I’ve never met the guy before. Yian probably just meant that she
will try developing a rapport and a rtionship with him. If sheter falls for the guy, Song Rongrong
and I will go check the dude out for her. We’re all besties, after all,” shared Shi Nuan.
Lin Yu didn’t actually hear what Shi Nuan said after that. All he knew was that Su Yian was seeing
someone, and it looked like the woman was rather into the guy.
“Isn’t it a little irresponsible of her to be with someone despite not having feelings for one another?”
“But it’s not like people can fall in love at first sight all the time, right? Most fell in love after hanging out
with one another and developing a rapport. Yian is not a youngdy anymore. She should explore and
try hanging out with an ideal guy. If theyter fall in love then great, but if not, they can just break up.
Isn’t that how the current society works?” asked Shi Nuan.
“Oh, so any capable man will do, then?”
“Uh… Mr. Lin, aren’t you getting a little too excited? I mean, isn’t it great that Yian found someone she
could be with? Shouldn’t you be happy for her?” asked Shi Nuan as she stared strangely at Lin Yu.
“I… Well…” murmured Lin Yu awkwardly. He didn’t know what was wrong with himself. All he knew
was that his interaction with Su Yian had lessenedtely, and at first, he thought that he could get used
to it. As time passed, Lin Yu found himself in a daze and ufortable. It felt like something was
missing in his life.
A few days ago, Lin Yu went out of the country to go on a business trip. He bought some souvenirs for
Su Yian, so he called and texted her about it. However, Su Yian never responded to anything.
Lin Yu also went to look for Su Yian in person, but he didn’t get to see her either. That was why Lin Yu
initiated that conversation with Shi Nuan to test the waters. The former never expected Shi Nuan to
give him news that shocking.
Su Yian is seeing someone? Why am Ipletely unaware of that?
Lin Yuter thought about all his previous failed attempts to find Su Yian, and it seemed quite possible
that she had gotten into a rtionship.
“Uh… Mr. Lin? I’ll head back to my desk if there’s nothing else you’d like to ask, okay?”
“Oh, okay.”
Lin Yu nodded while being a little out of it. He only sighed a breath of relief after he saw that Shi Nuan
had left. He shifted his gaze to his phone, but he didn’t know if he should call Su Yian and wish her well
in her new rtionship.
Should I really do that?
Shi Nuan’s smile spread across her face as she walked out of the Project Management Department.
She was tempted tough aloud, but she couldn’t because she was still at the workce. That was the
only reason she held everything in and stopped herself fromughing.
Shi Nuan’s lips were curved upwards even after she reached the twenty-seventh floor.
She opened the door and walked into the office to see that Su Shaoqing had already left. Fu Chengyan
was the only one there; he was sitting quietly at his desk and working.
When Fu Chengyan heard the door opening, he looked up and saw Shi Nuan smiling brightly and
happily. That prompted him to wave his hand and say, “Come here.”
Shi Nuan hurried over and handed the work-rted documents to Fu Chengyan. She thought he
wanted to check the progress of the project, so she offered the documents to him. “Here.”
Fu Chengyan put the documents aside and pulled Shi Nuan into his arms before asking, “What got you
so happy?”
Shi Nuan couldn’t help grinning again as she answered, “It’s nothing, just… Actually, you won’t get it
even if I tell you. Besides, nothing is certain for now. I’ll tell you once everything is settled and set in
stone.”
“Huh? You’re acting so mysterious. What could it be?” asked Fu Chengyan. He said the words, but he
wasn’t actually that eager to know it. All he wanted was to share every moment of Shi Nuan’s joy with
her.
Shi Nuan thought about it. In the end, she couldn’t contain her excitement, so she moved closer to Fu
Chengyan and shared, “It’s about Mr. Lin getting together with Su Yian.”
“Huh? Didn’t you say that the two of them had nothing going on?”
“That’s what I thought too,” replied Shi Nuan while circling her arms around Fu Chengyan. She then
added, “I actually thought about giving up on the notion of being their matchmaker, but Mr. Lin suddenly
asked me about Yian just now. I told him Yian was seeing someone, and that got Mr. Lin’s face to
darken immediately. You didn’t see it, but he looked like he was about to murder someone.”
“Really?” hummed Fu Chengyan. He didn’t think much of it, but he wasn’t going to rain on Shi Nuan’s
parade when she was that happy about it. So, he simply asked, “Then what happened? Is your friend
really seeing someone else?”
“Oh, right!” blurted Shi Nuan before she smacked her own head a little and said, “I would’ve forgotten
all about it if you hadn’t reminded me. My lie will be exposed if Mr. Lin asks Yian about it because Yian
has told me that she isn’t seeing anyone!” After saying her piece, Shi Nuan quickly sent a WeChat
message to tell Su Yian everything. After that, Shi Nuan deliberated and added, “Do you have any guy
friends who are close to you? I think you should get someone to y pretend with you for a couple of
days.”
Shi Nuan acted like she was an experienced master in the matter. After she put her phone away, she
became so happy that she couldn’t even stop herself from holding Fu Chengyan’s face and rubbing her
nose on his. “Awh, Yan. I think I will definitely end up being a matchmaker this time,” Shi Nuan cried out
gleefully.
“That’s not set in stone just yet. Lin Yu has always had incredible self-control. Also, he might’ve only
reacted that way because he wasn’t used to the new information yet. If he found out that you girls lied
to him, I’m guessing that he would…”
“Ah, you’re overthinking things. When ites to matters of the heart, I think at least one party has to
take the initiative. It shouldn’t matter how things end – the important thing is to give it one’s best shot,”
refuted Shi Nuan, “Have you forgotten what it was like for us? If you hadn’t taken the first step to get
close to me, I’m pretty sure everything else would have never happened. Won’t you agree?”
Fu Chengyan’s irises constricted upon hearing that, and he agreed, “Yeah, that makes sense, darling.”
Shi Nuan couldn’t help narrowing her eyes at him upon hearing that. She looked like a cute kitten at
that moment, and Fu Chengyan’s heart stirred. He reached out to caress Shi Nuan’s hair before
sighing andmenting, “Hopefully, your friend’s wish wille true.”
“It will.”
“Yeah,” murmured Fu Chengyan while nodding, “I guess it’s time for Lin Yu to move on from his past
pain. Perhaps your friend truly is his salvation.”
Shi Nuan recalled Lin Yu’s story after hearing Fu Chengyan’s words. If she remembered correctly, Fu
Chengyan once said that Lin Yu used to be in love with Pei Huan. That was why Lin Yu had chosen to
work for Shengyuan in the first ce. Who would’ve thought that Pei Huan would end up marrying Li
Heng in the end?

Not many women can resist a man Li Heng, so Lin Yu shouldn’t feel too bad for losing to a man like
that.
“Oh, by the way, did Shaoqing drop by earlier to talk to you about Shu Qing?”
Fu Chengyan’s gaze turned dark as he murmured, “Yeah.”
“What did he say? Is it something important?”
“We have nothing to note for now.”
“Oh,” replied Shi Nuan, who couldn’t help feeling disappointed, “Then…”
“Don’t worry. I will do my very best to get to the bottom of everything. You just have to give me some
time, okay?”
……
Shu Qing had locked herself in the house in Emerald Garden for an entire day. She refused to exit the
room or eat anything. That was her way of protesting to Su Huaibei.
Those tricks might work if a youngdy was using them on an impulsive young man, but Su Huaibei
was a middle-aged man. He wasn’t affected by Shu Qing’s protest at all.
“Ms. Shu remains stubborn and refuses to eat anything, Mr. Su. She won’t even take a sip of water.”
The servants in Emerald Garden stared at Su Huaibei with fear in their eyes. The fact that his eyes
were turning darker only made them tremble even more. “Mr. Su, maybe…”
“Prepare an IV drip for her if she keeps refusing to eat. Have her on life support! I’d like to see just how
long she can remain stubborn,” growled Su Huaibei as his cruel gaze brushed past everyone. The
servants were so frightened that they hurriedly stumbled out of there.
“Mr. Su!”
Fu Yi was standing behind the door respectfully and knocking on it.
“Come in.”
Fu Yi walked in after receiving the instruction. He reported, “Mr. Su, these are the articles on Ms. Shu
that were shared by the media over the past few days. Our people have stopped the media from further
spreading the news, but we started working on it toote, so…”
Su Huaibei tilted his head up and red at Fu Yi before asking, “And where is Shen Qianan now?”
“She is still in Jiang City, but Shen Shixiu’s men have her well-guarded. We couldn’t get close to her,”
reported Fu Yi as he scanned Su Huaibei’s expression. The former asked carefully, “Mr. Su, do you
intend to bring Shen Qianan over?”
“Hmph, she is the one that made the mess, so naturally, she will have to be the one to deal with it.
Does she think she will remain safe by simply cowering behind Shen Shixiu?” growled Su Huaibei as
he red at the newspaper article. After that, he added, “Shen Shixiu, I didn’t realize that you are pretty
good at this, too.”
