I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 482
“Aunt Nuan, you’ve lost again!” Cheng An pped her little hands and turned around to tell her uncle,
“Uncle! Aunt lost again!”
“Really? You’re awesome, An!” Fu Chengyan pinched his niece’s nose. “Your aunt is exhausted. Why
don’t youe over and y with me instead?”
As soon as he finished his sentence, he carried Cheng An and brought her to his side.
Cheng An retaliated and yelled, “No, Uncle! I want to sit in between the two of you!”
Once she finished her sentence, she catapulted her way back to her initial seat by Shi Nuan
’s side. Tugging at her aunt’s sleeve, she put on a pitiable front and asked, “Am I no longer your
sweetheart?”
“Huh? What are you talking about? You’ll always be my sweetheart, okay? Come on! Come back to
your seat!” Shi Nuan tapped on the seat beside her and carried Cheng An once again. “Shall we get
your uncle to feed you?”
“Okay! Huh?” Cheng An nodded. It was then that the girl then caught a glimpse of the guests at the
entrance.
By then, Shi Nuan and Fu Chengyan had also turned around and nced at the entrance of the dining
suite. They saw Su Shaoqing leaning against the door frame with a smile. “Hopefully, we’re not getting
in the way of your little game.”
Shi Nuan then spotted Su Huaibei, who was behind Su Shaoqing. The smile on her face suddenly
faded and was reced with a stiff expression. She stood up. Although she had prepared herself, the
moment she saw Su Huaibei, she couldn’t be sure if she should treat him courteously. Thus, things got
awkward all of a sudden.
Fu Chengyan was the first to break the silence. He suggested, “Finally! Why don’t youe in and join
us?”
“Ha! You’re right! I guess I must have indulged myself in such a heartwarming scene! I should have
made my way in long ago!” Su Shaoqing entered the suite nonchntly and looked at Cheng An once
he reached the table. “Hello! What’s this little sweetheart doing here?”
Cheng An could vividly recall Su Shaoqing as he used to carry her when she was younger. However,
ever since she started to wipe her tears and snots on him, he stopped cuddling her. They had not met
for a while, and he was surprised that she had grown so much taller.
Cheng An had always been courteous whenever she was around good-looking men. Blinking her eyes
innocently, she greeted politely, “Uncle, do you miss me?”
Su Shaoqing burst intoughter. “Chengyan, whose character has she taken after? I don’t recall Cheng
Jing and Jiayu being so thick-skinned!”
“I have no idea. Perhaps they gave birth to a maniac.” Fu Chengyan replied nonchntly.
Shi Nuan was rendered speechless by the content of her husband and her friend’s conversation.
Caressing her niece’s head, she reprimanded the men. “Hey! Stop blurting out such nonsense in front
of An! Although she’s a child, she’s able toprehend the meaning behind your words!”
Thankfully, this exchange involving Cheng An helped to lift the dull ambiance caused by Su Huaibei’s
appearance. Fu Chengyan got up from his seat and ushered Su Huaibei and Su Shaoqing over to their
seats.
Since this meet-up was, after all, arranged at the eleventh hour, Shi Nuan was feeling awkward and
had a hard time behaving like her usual self.
Although it wasn’t her first encounter with Su Huaibei, she had never met him in such an awkward
situation. Truth be told, she wasn’t ready to have the talk with him.
Actually, Su Huaibei was equally anxious. He wouldn’t stop sizing up Shi Nuan, but at the same time,
he behaved cautiously and dared not look at her in the eyes. Naturally, Fu Chengyan caught a glimpse
of Su Huaibei’s expression.
In response, he narrowed his eyes and reached for his wife’s hand, tickling her palm in a gentle
manner. Shi Nuan felt a tingling sensationing from her palm all of a sudden. She raised her head
and exchanged nces with her husband.
He smiled and nodded, assuring her everything would be fine. In the end, she took a deep breath and
felt a sense of relief since her husband was by her side.
“Shall we ce our orders? I’m pretty sure An is hungry since she’s a growing girl.”
As soon as Shi Nuan finished her sentence, the manager of the restaurant entered the dining suite and
asked, “Mrs. Fu, what would you like to have today?”
“An, what do you want?” Shi Nuan redirected the question.
“This! This! This!” Cheng An started pointing at the photos she saw on the menu. She decided to have
everything that seemed appealing to her.
Meanwhile, Fu Chengyan put the menu aside and told the manager to serve them something that
would be suitable for a pregnant woman.
The manager was a little stunned but then he quickly nodded. “Alright! I’ll go get everything ready at
once!”
Once the manager left, silence fell in the suite once more.
Shi Nuan could not get used to such a quiet environment. Feeling uneasy, she raised her head to look
at Fu Chengyan before taking a peek at Su Huaibei.
She noticed Su Huaibei seemed to be different since theirst encounter a few days ago. He seemed
to have gone to great lengths to dress himself up properly. However, she felt uneasy because he
carried himself in a very rigid manner.
The awkwardness subsided when Shi Nuan brought Cheng An out of the suite because thetter had
an upset stomach. While thedies were in the washroom, the three men were left staring at each
other in the suite. Eventually, Su Shaoqing couldn’t take it anymore. He broke the silence and
confronted his friend, “Chengyan, why don’t you tell us what you think? Shi Nuan is a member of the
Su family, so we definitely want her to reunite with us!”
Fu Chengyan tapped on the table and replied indifferently, “Shaoqing, I believe you’re aware of my
character, right?”
Frowning, Su Shaoqing asked, “What do you want?”
“To be honest, I don’t want anything because I respect May’s decision regarding her personal affairs. If
she’s willing to reunite with the Su family, I won’t stop her. If she’s not looking to do that, I’ll do my best
to get in the way of those who try to change her mind against her will.”Halfway through his speech, Fu
Chengyan turned to look at Su Huaibei.
“Mr. Su, have I made myself clear?”
What! How dare he talk to his father-inw in such a manner?
Fu Chengyan was a man of his words. He would definitely carry out the things he had mentioned.
In spite of him being irritated, Su Huaibei was at a loss for words to defend himself because he was the
one at fault. No matter what the reason might be, it was undeniable he had failed to carry out his duty
as a father for the past two decades. Therefore, he could see where Fu Chengyan wasing from.
“Mr. Fu, I believe you’re conscious of the benefit associated with Shi Nuan being a member of the Su
family, right? She has nothing to lose since we’ll be her biggest backing! Besides, the Fu n is such a
renowned n, I’m afraid Shi Nuan—”
Before Su Huaibei could finish his sentence, Fu Chengyan interrupted him. “You don’t have to be
worried, Mr. Su. I will be her biggest backing, not to mention that the Fu n has already
acknowledged her as one of us.”
Although he sounded arrogant, Fu Chengyan stated the truth.
“Don’t you think it’s better for her to have another backing?”
Fu Chengyan chuckled in return and asked rhetorically, “Mr. Su, is that the reason you asked to meet
me today?”
Knitting his eyebrows and clenching his fists to suppress his emotions, Su Huaibei finally figured out it
would be tough to deal with the young man in front of him.
In fact, Fu Chengyan would definitely get in his way and stop him from reuniting with his daughter if he
weren’t able to win him over. “Shi Nuan is my daughter.”
Upon hearing the sentimental statement, Fu Chengyan softened his tone slightly. “I believe I have
made myself clear. If Mr. Su wishes to reunite with May, you should focus on her!” As soon as he said
that, the initially tense situation eased up a little.
After Su Shaoqing signaled Su Huaibei to take it easy, the former chuckled. “Chengyan, I’m pretty sure
my uncle is fond of Nuan; if not, he wouldn’t wish to reunite with her. He’s merely trying to atone for the
sins hemitted over twenty years ago. Nuan shouldn’t stay with the Shi family forever, right? Those
from the Shi family are nastier than us from the Su family!”
Fu Chengyan’s eyes flickered. Su Shaoqing decided to seize the opportunity. “If Nuan bes one of
the Su family and changes her name, she’ll officially be my little sister. Although she’s currently
addressed by others as your wife, you’re aware that it isn’t enough for her to protect herself, aren’t
you? However, if she’s a member of the Su family, no one will darey a finger on her. Am I right?”
Smirking, Fu Chengyan announced, “As great as it sounds, I won’t change my mind. I shall respect
May’s decision. I won’t stop her from doing what she wants, but I also won’t let anyone make a decision
on her behalf!”
Su Shaoqing held his chest high and assured, “Of course! We’ll definitely respect her decision. No
matter what she decides, she’ll always be my sister!”
Feeling a sense of relief, Fu Chengyan nodded and had his gaze on Su Huaibei once again. “Mr. Su, I
have no intention to poke my nose into the affairs you have with Ms. Shu, but you shouldn’t have
forsaken May back in the day. Is Ms. Shu aware that you want to reunite with May? May I know what’s
her opinion regarding this?”
“S-She… Let’s not talk about her,” Su Huaibei replied with a gloomy expression.

“I heard Ms. Su and the Shen family are currently—”
Putting on a stern front, Su Huaibei raised his voice and bellowed, “I believe that’s none of your
business as well!”
Fu Chengyan responded with a chuckle as though he couldn’t be bothered by it at all. “Indeed, it’s none
of my business, but I hope May won’t be adversely affected. If May returns to the Su family, are you
able to ensure she won’t be involved in the affairs of the past?”
“You have my word!”
“Great!” Having received assurance from his so-called father-inw, Fu Chengyan stopped giving Su
Huaibei a hard time.
Meanwhile, Shi Nuan and Cheng An were on their way back to the dining suite from the washroom
when they came across a bunch of intimidating-looking people.
Cheng An was slightly frightened by their presence and held onto her aunt firmly. As Shi Nuan detected
her niece’s response, she crouched and caressed her back, assuring her everything would be fine.
Shi Nuan narrowed her eyes and noticed the bunch of people was dressed upvishly. Judging by their
appearance, she was certain they were wealthy folks. She caught a glimpse of an old man leading that
crowd. Dashing over to a certain somewhere, the old man, supporting himself using a cane, urged the
people behind him, “Hurry up! Those who dare dy my reunion with my granddaughter, I’ll teach them
a lesson!”
A woman’s voice could be heard chuckling as she assured, “Dad, slow down and take your time! They
have just reached the restaurant as well. I’m pretty sure they won’t leave so soon!”
Shi Nuan responded with a sheepish grin because she thought she would have to deal with a major
incident. It turned out they were merely there to visit a rtive of theirs.
“Alright, An! It’s fine! Let’s return to your uncle!” Shi Nuan held Cheng An’s hand and made their way
back to the dining suite.
However, the moment they returned to the suite, they were not able to enter because a bunch of
people had surrounded the suite.
“Su Huaibei, where’s my granddaughter? Why don’t I see anyone around?”
Su Yumin, the patriarch of the Su family, was the one who had confronted his son. As soon as he
touched down, he heard about Su Huaibei’s return as well as the existence of thetter’s illegitimate
daughter. As a result, Su Yumin headed directly to Yun Shui Jian from the airport with a bunch of
people from the Su family.
“Huaibei, where’s Shi Nuan?” Su Yunwan asked. She had encountered Shi Nuan before. She was
shocked as there were only three men inside the suite. Afraid that Su Yumin would lose his cool, she
queried once again, “Dad insisted on rushing over the moment he touched down because he heard you
would be meeting Nuan. He couldn’t wait to meet her as well.”
