I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 538


    Chapter 538 Dream


    Shen Qianan did not sleep well that night. Her head felt heavy, and her mind was confused as if


    someone had reced her brain with something. She kept thinking about her identity and rtionship


    with Shi Nuan and Su Huaibei.


    The connection between everyone in her dream was not clear, nor did she know what she wanted to


    do, but she could picture their faces vividly. She saw Shi Nuan, Shen Shixiu, Su Huaibei, and Shu


    Qing. Many people shed across her mind in her dream and disappeared without a trace after a split


    second.


    She wanted to chase after them, but they were moving too fast. She failed to catch up to them even as


    she sprinted. Shen Qianan felt as if she was shrouded in a thick tog, staring at their figures getting


    further away.


    Then, she ran faster and saw Yu. Yu smiled sheepishly at her amidst the dense fog, waving her over.


    She could hear him calling her “Mommy” in his sweet voice. She jogged toward him in exhration but


    noticed that Yu was gone when she got closer. Instead, a tall and muscr man appeared before her.


    She could not discern that man’s face even though he was not wearing a mask. Shen Qianan thought


    she was standing too far, so she went a little closer. However, regardless of her attempt to get nearer to


    him, that man would always take a few steps back, keeping a distance from her.


    She stretched out her hand and lurched forward to grab him, but her effort was for naught.


    Shen Qianany on the bed with her eyes shut. She felt as if she was undting on the surface of the


    sea. That sensation gave her the false impression that she was floating on clouds. She went after that


    man, desperate to move forward, but merely felt herselfnding heavily on the ground as if she was


    free-falling while taking an elevator.


    Finally, she was able to see that man’s face clearly. He had a chiseled jawline and distinctive facial


    features. She walked up to him, wearing a dazzling smile. “Jue,” she called him by his name. The word


    slipped out of her mouth naturally in her dream.


    When that man heard her voice, he stopped abruptly and stood rooted to his spot, fixating his eyes on


    her. “Qian!”


    Shen Qianan shuddered. Before she could say another word, the scenes around her suddenly


    changed. A woman who looked exactly like her stood in front of her. A man was restraining that


    woman. Shen Qianan instinctively stepped forward to separate them. She saw that man taking out a


    gun and pointing the muzzle at the woman who shared her appearance. Without a second thought, she


    rushed ahead hysterically and stood in front of the woman. “Shi Nuan!”


    She was taken aback when the bullet went through her body. Subsequently, that man came running in


    her direction and called her, “Qian.” His voice rang distinctly beside her ears. She fell into his arms,


    grinning. “Fu Sijue.”


    Blood gushed out from the wound on her chest, staining her entire body and his torso. He held her


    tightly in his arms. Then, a knife materialized in her hand. She stabbed the knife right into his heart. It


    was a gory sight.


    “Ahh!”


    Shen Qianan sat up on her bed all of a sudden. She gazed ahead of her in a daze.


    Sunlight was already pouring in through the window. She was shivering, and her hands were trembling.


    Shen Qianan finally ustomed her eyes to the brightly-lit room before shifting her gaze to look at her


    hands.


    Her hands were still shaking. That response seemed to be her body’s reflexes of telling her that what


    she imagined in her head earlier was not just a dream.


    Shen Qianan stared dumbfoundedly at her hands. Although she knew that it was a dream, the scenes


    were simply too realistic, to the extent that she could not erase those images from her mind, nor could


    she convince herself that it was merely a dream.


    That man who had appeared in her dream had seemed so real. He had called her Qian.


    Qian!


    A grin spread across Shen Qianan’s face.


    Her whole life, people had referred to her as Ms. Qianan, Shen Qianan, or Qianan. Even during that


    period when she was closest to Fu Cheng Yan, thetter had at most addressed her as Qianan. Qian


    was the name used only by that man.


    She ced a hand over her forehead and shut her eyes.


    In fact, Shen Qianan had not thought about her kidnapping incident four years ago after so many years


    had passed. She was reluctant to recall how she had survived those few months. Still, the memories


    inexplicably resurfaced within her mind after she met with Shi Nuan yesterday and was informed of all


    those things, including the news that he had been secretly keeping an eye on her while she was at C


    Country in the past few years.


    Shen Qianan did not know the proper way to handle those emotions. She felt at a loss for having to


    face all these issues all of a sudden.


    “Mommy!”


    Yu held Shen Qianan’s finger with one hand while rubbing his groggy eyes with the others. Evidently,


    he had just woken up.


    Shen Qianan was pulled back to reality. Warmth filled her chest at the sight of Yu’s adorable demeanor.


    She had temporarily tossed her dream to the back of her mind. “You’re awake, Yu?” She reached out to


    pinch his nose. He clicked his tongue in response and stretched his arms wide. “Mommy, hug me.”


    Shen Qianan agreed to hug him. She held Yu in her embrace, and thetter wriggled mischievously in


    her arms. “Mommy, I’m hungry.”


    “Get up then. I’ll bring you to meet someone today.”


    “Who’s that?” Yu blinked his eyes at her. Shen Qianan’s heart softened at that sight. She thought he


    was the cutest boy ever. She patted his head and said, “Your aunt. I’m bringing you to meet your aunt!”


    “Aunt? What is an aunt?” Yu was very young and had been living with Shen Qianan since he was little.


    He was not familiar with the word “aunt” because he did not grow up with any other rtives.


    She was momentarily dazed before she let out a chuckle and pinched his nose. “My younger sister is


    your aunt. She’s your biological aunt.”


    “Mommy’s younger sister?” Yu blinked at her. “When did you get a younger sister?”


    “Yes, that’s right. I reunited with her yesterday. Are you happy, Yu? Your aunt is my younger sister, and


    she’s rted to me by blood. However, we’ve never known or met one another before. I’ll bring you to


    see her today. What do you say, Yu?”


    “All right. Sure. I like Mommy, and I’ll like my aunt too!” Naturally, Yu was delighted upon hearing that.


    Yu did not have many friends since he was small, so he was thrilled to learn that he had an aunt now.


    Shen Qianan helped Yu get washed up and brought him to have his meal at a breakfast shop outside.


    Then, the two of them went to the hospital leisurely.


    She was able to locate Shi Nuan’s ward very quickly because she had visited that ce yesterday.


    Before going to the hospital, Shen Qianan deliberately brought Yu to a flower shop and purchased a


    bouquet of baby’s breath. The flower had a faint fragrance and was not overly striking in appearance.


    Shen Qianan held Yu with one hand while holding the bouquet of flowers in the other hand. Yu wanted


    to have his own flowers, too, when he saw his mother having one. Therefore, she purchased a small


    bouquet for him to hold too. The two of them walked on the corridors inside the hospital, turning heads


    in their direction on their way to the ward.


    Fu Cheng Yan knew Shen Qianan wasing that day. He instructed his bodyguards to stay hidden


    nearby, so the room was no different from an ordinary ward.


    Shen Qianan chatted casually with Yu along the way. He wore a coy and shy expression, holding his


    mother’s hand as they strolled. “Mommy, will my aunt like me?”


    “She will. You’re so adorable, so she will definitely like you.” Shen Qianan crouched down and punched


    Yu’s nose. “Remember to greet your aunt when you meet herter, all right?”


    “Okay. Since my aunt likes me, I like her very much too!”


    “You’re so cheeky!” She could not help but smile in response. She hesitated briefly before she knocked


    on the door when they arrived in front of Shi Nuan’s ward. Still, she pushed open the door and walked


    inside.


    Shi Nuan was awake at that moment. She was reading a book in silence while Fu Chengyan was


    staring at hisptop, handling work-rted matters on a couch ced in the corner of the room. Shen


    Qianan felt a pang of envy, taking in that scene although the couple was not engaged in a


    conversation.


    They appeared harmonious together. Even though Fu Chengyan was absorbed in his work, his


    demeanor was gentle and rxed. He did not seem cold and distant, as he usually did whenever he


    was with Shen Qianan.


    Shen Qianan slightly pursed her lips and entered the ward while holding Yu’s hand.


    Shi Nuan ced the book in her hands down. She was slightly astounded to see Shen Qianan and


    Yu’s arrival. “You’re early?”


    “I know, but Yu has been pestering me to bring him to meet with you.” Shen Qianan lowered herself


    into a half-squat and tugged her son’s hand. “This is your aunt. Did you not promise me that you would


    greet your aunt when you meet her? Why are you being so quiet now?”


    Her voice was soft. She caressed Yu’s head and said, “You can move closer to your aunt.”


    Yu had seen Shi Nuan before, but they were at the Fu residence. Moreover, Shen Qianan had not


    specifically reminded him to greet Shi Nuan. Children tended to be forgetful. When Yu saw Shi Nuan’s


    face, he blinked his eyes and cocked his head in perplexity. “Mommy, why does my aunt look exactly


    like you?”

    Shi Nuan giggled upon hearing his question. She waved at him. “Come over here, Yu.”


    Yu hesitated. He gazed at Shen Qianan as if to seek his mother’s assurance.


    Shen Qianan beamed at him. “Go ahead.”


    Yu stepped forward and handed the tiny bouquet of baby’s breath to Shi Nuan in embarrassment. “Aunt


    Nuan, this is a present from me. Do you like it?”


    “Of course. You’re such a good boy, Yu.” Shi Nuan bent down, picked Yu up, and ced him at her


    bedside.


    Fu Chengyan was silent all along. However, he furrowed his brows when he saw Shi Nuan holding Yu


    up.


    Shi Nuan sensed the changes in Fu Chengyan’s expression. She was bewildered for a split second


    before shifting her gaze onto her stomach. “I’m fine. Yu is very light.”


    Fu Chengyan was unconvinced. He continued to wear the frown, seemingly in displeasure.


    Nheless, he did not tantly express his dissatisfaction.


    Shen Qianan felt a little awkward. At that moment, Shi Nuan piped up, “Don’t just stand there. Take a


    seat.” Then, she looked at Fu Chengyan. “Yan, pour a cup of water for my sister.”


    After the words left Shi Nuan’s mouth, she felt as if the air had gonepletely still inside the ward.


    Shen Qianan stood rooted to her spot in silence. She did not expect Shi Nuan to address her in that


    manner. Fu Chengyan fell into a daze after listening to Shi Nuan too, but he swiftly recollected himself


    and nodded. “Please take a seat. I’ll pour you a ss of water.”


    He really stopped focusing on his work while uttering those words and got up to pour Shen Qianan a


    ss of water. After that, he gazed at Yu, who was standing next to Shi Nuan, and asked, “Have you


    had your breakfast?”
