I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 493


    Fu Chengyan was surprised by her words. He didn’t expect Shi Nuan woulde out with such a


    condition to Su Huaibei, but he still rubbed her head affectionately. “No, you’re not bad at all.”


    “But… I can see that he loves Shu Qing deeply. She’s probably the only woman he has ever loved in


    his life, yet I cruelly asked him to break up with her! What if someone else forces you to break up with


    me the same way as I did?” Shi Nuan couldn’t exin what she felt right now. She only knew she felt


    extremely terrible after visiting Su Huaibei.


    Fu Chengyan brought her to his lounge and patted her backfortingly. “May, humans are selfish by


    nature. I know you must have your own reasons for requesting that, right?”


    Shi Nuan curled her lips in disdain. “I don’t have any reason for requesting that. I just think I could


    ept Su Huaibei as my father because I can feel his desire to atone for his sins, and I’m not repulsed


    by him. But Shu Qing doesn’t like me in the first ce, so I don’t want to force myself to ept her.


    Isn’t that selfish of me?”


    “Silly girl!” Fu Chengyan pulled Shi Nuan into his embrace. “No one is perfect. Besides, even without


    your interference, they may not end up together. Their problem stems from distrust, and no one can


    save them from it. Had their love been strong enough, no one in the world could’ve separated them at


    all.”


    Shi Nuan smiled. “Yan, you are really good atforting me.”


    “I’m only good atforting you and no one else.” Fu Chengyan patted Shi Nuan and tightened his


    hug. “This is not something you can control. Since he has agreed to your condition, he must have


    thought it out, right?”


    Shi Nuan nodded. Fu Chengyan nted a kiss on her forehead and asked in concern, “Now, is there


    anything else bugging you?”


    “What if, what if I regretted it? What if I tell him that I don’t need him to agree to that condition of mine?”


    “I told you, he must have thought it out when he made that decision. If you ask me, I’ll say he’s the one


    who should regret itter on and not you. Since he doesn’t regret his decision, that means his end with


    Shu Qing will still be the same regardless of your conditions. So there’s no need to feel bad about it,


    okay?”


    “Okay.” Shi Nuan nodded and nuzzled her head against Fu Chengyan again. “I didn’t interrupt your


    work, did I?”


    “Nothing is more important than you.” Fu Chengyan lifted her chin and uttered, “Don’t ever think of


    yourself as a burden to me, okay?”


    “Okay.” Shi Nuan straightened herself and cupped Fu Chengyan’s chin to nt a kiss on his lips.


    “Here, your reward forforting me. Go ahead and settle your work. I’m taking a nap.”


    “Alright. I’ll wake you up when I’m done.” Fu Chengyan carried Shi Nuan to the bed and tucked her in


    the nket. He thennded another peck on her forehead before leaving the lounge.


    Zhou Zheng, who had been waiting outside for ages, immediately approached Fu Chengyan the


    moment he came out. “Mr. Fu.”


    Fu Chengyan nodded in acknowledgment. “You’ve gotten the materials?”

    “Yes. These are all Su Huai-” Before Zhou Zheng could speak, Fu Chengyan cast a warning gaze at


    him and eyed the lounge behind him. Zhou Zheng immediately caught his meaning and lowered his


    voice. “These are records of the happenings between Su Huaibei and Jiang Yuan after they departed


    for the capital twenty-five years ago. It’s iplete, considering how long ago it was, but it’s enough to


    understand what actually happened back then. Shu Qing is Jiang Yuan’s stage name. She was indeed


    in love with Su Huaibei during her younger days, but conflict often happened between them when they


    were in the capital. It was not easy to survive in the capital back then. In order to secure her career in


    the entertainment industry, Jiang Yuan would join parties and dinners with rich producers and investors.


    One of them happened to be Shen Feng. But his rtionship with Jiang Yuan is a bitplicated. He


    was only acting with Jiang Yuan in a rumored rtionship. Oh, and turns out, it was Jiang Yuan who


    saved Shen Feng’s wife in a car ident many years ago.”


    Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes at Zhou Zheng’s exnation. “What about Shen Qianan?”


    “It’s just as you guessed!” Even Zhou Zheng didn’t expect the two would be siblings. “Mr. Fu, how did


    you know Mrs. Fu and Shen Qianan are sisters of the same parents?”


    “Their face.” No two people could look so simr unless they were born from the same set of parents.


    Fu Chengyan had guessed if they had different fathers, Shen Qianan would never look so simr to Shi


    Nuan. Of course, this fact was just spection without any proof until today.


    “Oh, by the way, Shen Feng has also arrived at Jiang City. He has met up with both Shu Qing and Su


    Huaibei a few days ago.”


    Fu Chengyan nodded. “Okay, you may go now.”


    “Alright.”


    “Wait!” Fu Chengyan halted Zhou Zheng. “Other than Su Huaibei, who else did May saw at the


    hospital?”


    “Shu Qing. But she didn’t meet her in person, she saw Shu Qing entering the hospital and she waited


    downstairs until Shu Qing came out. She also saw Shu Qing having a talk with Fu Yi.”


    Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes at Zhou Zheng’s report. “Okay, you may leave now.”


    Once Zhou Zheng left, Fu Chengyan flipped through the materials in his hands. As expected, the


    contents were almost the same as his deductions. Both Shen Qianan and Shi Nuan were indeed


    daughters of Su Huaibei and Shu Qing.


    As for Shen Feng and Shen Shixiu, their role in all that had transpired came as a surprise to Fu


    Chengyan. It turned out that Shen Feng wasn’t in a rtionship with Shu Qing at all, and that he raised


    Shen Qianan to repay for Shu Qing’s deeds in saving his wife. As for Shen Shixiu’s alternative identity


    as Shi Yu…


    Fu Chengyan felt uneasiness crept into his heart as he read through the documents.


    As a man, Fu Chengyan could see that the way Shen Shixiu looked at Shi Nuan was very much


    different from how he looked at Shen Qianan.


    The way he looked at Shen Qianan was just like how siblings looked at each other. But his gaze


    towards Shi Nuan definitely didn’t look as simple as that.


    Just because he wanted to repay Shu Qing’s favor and repent for his mistakes, Shen Feng actually


    made his son care for Shi Nuan as a parent. And the most surprising part was Shen Shixiu actually


    agreed to it. This was not good news to Fu Chengyan. To him, Shen Shixiu was a man that could


    threaten his status in Shi Nuan’s heart.


    Fu Chengyan kept the materials and eyed the sleeping Shi Nuan in his lounge. “This silly girl,” he


    muttered while shaking his head helplessly. I bet she’s not even aware of Shen Shixiu’s coveted


    thoughts towards her.


    Meanwhile, Su Huaibei was hospitalized for a few more days before getting discharged and returned to


    the Su family’s mansion to rest. Throughout the time, none of them mentioned Shu Qing at all. The Su


    family’s attitude was clear; they could ept Shi Nuan as a member of a family, but not Shu Qing. But


    that day, they came to know of another news, and that was Su Huaibei’s n to get Shen Qianan to


    return to the Su family as well.


    The Su family was not against that idea. Su Yumin simply nodded reluctantly in acknowledgment and


    replied, “If she no longer wants to be part of the Shen family, our family will always wee her. But


    Bei, if she doesn’t want toe back, don’t force her.”


    “Okay.”


    With that, Su Shaoqing helped Su Huaibei upstairs to his room. After the sudden recurrence of his old


    injury, Su Huaibei had slimmed down a lot, which made him looked much older than his age.


    “Inform Fu Chengyan of my arrangements; we shall pay a visit to the Shi family, and then to the Jiang


    family next.”


    Su Shaoqing froze at his words. “Uncle Huaibei, shouldn’t you do so after you fully recover?”


    Su Huaibei shook his head. “I know my body condition well. I don’t have much time left. There are


    some age-old matters that I must settle by now.”


    “Alright.” Su Shaoqing agreed after some time of contemtion. He knew that Su Huaibei had nothing


    to worry about other than Shi Nuan and Shen Qianan now.


    Getting Shi Nuan to return to the family was not too hard to arrange, but as for Shen Qianan… It would


    be hard to get her back.


    After Su Shaoqing passed Su Huaibei’s message to Fu Chengyan, Fu Chengyan immediately arranged


    for the meet-up with the Shi’s and the Jiang’s. It was not easy to get Shi Nuan out of the Shi family and


    return her to the Su family. Shi Yunsheng would never let her go like that. Even if he were not against


    the idea, with Shi Nuan’s current status as Fu Chengyan’s wife, both Shi Jingzheng and Jiang Yu


    would be the first to disagree with Shi Nuan’s return to the Su family. Especially since Jiang Yu hated


    Su Huaibei and Jiang Yuan to the core.


    Fu Chengyan called Shi Yunsheng personally and told him of his n to return for dinner at the Shi


    residence. The old man was very happy to hear of their return since he had no idea what happened for


    the past few days. He wasn’t even aware of theplicated rtionship between the Su family and


    Shi Nuan. He only knew that since Fu Chengyan had decided toe back with Shi Nuan for dinner, it


    could only mean Fu Chengyan had recognized his rtionship with Shi Nuan and officially considered


    himself as an inw to the Shi family.


    Although Shi Yunsheng wasn’t a man of tradition, he was still Shi Nuan’s closest rtive. Hence, he


    was not exactly pleased with Fu Chengyan not making his rtionship with Shi Nuan official after


    getting together for so long.


    While Shi Yunsheng was happy for their return, Shi Jingzheng and Jiang Yu were unhappy deep down.


    Despite that, they were willing to bear with it, especially when Fu Chengyan was willing to return as Shi


    Nuan’s husband. This could only mean he intended to make his rtionship with Shi Nuan official,


    which would greatly benefit the Shi family and also Huancheng in the future. No matter how much they


    disliked Shi Nuan, Shi Jingzheng and Jiang Yu didn’t mind using their rtionship with Fu Chengyan to


    expand their influence within the city.


    As such, Jiang Yu ended up being the most excited person in the household. She even called Shi Wei


    and demanded her toe back no matter what.


    They must at least show they treasured Shi Nuan as their family member and let Fu Chengyan know


    she had a family to support her. This way, he would never mistreat Shi Nuan in the future. As long as


    Fu Chengyan remained sweet to Shi Nuan, then the Shi family’s fortune would be guaranteed with their


    affiliation with Fu Chengyan.


    On the other hand, Shi Wei had just returned home from filming. She was about to take a rest when


    she received her mother’s call, who asked her to bring Fu Xicheng back home that instant.


    “For what?” Shi Wei asked impatiently. For the past few days, many random strangers had been


    bombarding her phone with calls to ask her out. But Shi Wei was no fool. She knew these were all


    traps set up for her. After the previous incident, she dared not even leave her house to meet up with


    those acquaintances of hers.


    “Nuan and Fu Chengyan areing home for dinner. How can you note back as her elder sister?”


    “What is sheing back for?” Shi Wei replied in frustration. “For what reason must I go back to


    wee her return? Who is she to me?”


    “Enough, don’t say such nonsense. She’s your sister.”


    “I have no sister like her!” Shi Wei raised her voice. “Yes, she’s married to Fu Chengyan. But so what?


    What is she trying to do, huh? Is she trying to show off her husband to me? I can tell you for sure that


    her happiness won’tst long. A man like Fu Chengyan would never be short of pretty women around


    him and most likely has multiple mistresses outside. It won’t be long before she’s dumped by him, so


    there’s no point for us to lick her boots like a dog”
