I Want A Lifetime With You

Chapter 14

“Fate blows in random directions, Ms. Shi. If you can’t run away from it, why don’t you face it? Isn’t that right?” Fu Chengyan looked at her. There was another layer of meaning in his question. Shi Nuan bit her lip and stopped struggling.

When Fu Chengyan noticed she wasn’t struggling as much anymore, he let her go. “Please come in, Ms. Shi.” Shi Nuan looked at him angrily, but still she complied. Fu Chengyan smiled. “Seatbelt.” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Even though Shi Nuan had gotten into the car, she didn’t want to have any contact with Fu Chengyan. After telling him an address, she didn’t speak with him anymore, save for the occasional reminders when Fu Chengyan took a wrong corner.

Fu Chengyan wasn’t an idiot, so he could see her distaste for him. When they came to her complex, the man glanced at her. “The deal still stands, Ms. Shi. Call me anytime when you want to pull the trigger.”

Shi Nuan pursed her lips. “You seem to be a successful man, Mr. Fu, and you’re still an eligible bachelor. If you just say the word, I think the whole of Jiang City’s ladies would line up to be your partner. You don’t have to waste your time on me.”

“That’s what you think, not me.” Fu Chengyan tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, then he unlocked the doors. “Now that we’re here, I shouldn’t bother you anymore, Ms. Shi.” He knew what he should do at all times, so the man was patient with his prey. He knew when to strike and when to retreat.

Shi Nuan went down. “Thank you for sending me home, Mr. Fu, but I can’t accept your deal. I’m sorry. I just got out of a hellhole, so I don’t want to subject myself to another one.”

“How do you know I’m a hellhole before you even tried, Ms. Shi?” He smiled. “I don’t believe in absolutism, but I digress. It’s late, Ms. Shi.”

Shi Nuan closed the door and saw the Cayenne off before turning around. The moment she did, Shi Nuan froze.

She looked at the man standing not far away from her. He was in a suit, looking energetic. The woman felt her heart squeeze, and her face paled. The façade she had been keeping up for the whole day almost crumbled in this moment. She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her flesh, but she couldn’t feel it. Her attention was on the man before her, and she bit her lip.

Fu Xicheng had seen her from awhile back. Since she got out of that black Cayenne, he had never taken his eyes off her. He had thought about how awkward it would be between them after the breakup, and how she would hate him for that. However, he did not expect her to get over him in such a short time and hook up with another man.

For some inexplicable reason, Fu Xicheng felt annoyed and angered when he saw Shi Nuan leaving that car. He stared at her, looking displeased. “Who was the man who sent you back just now?”

Fu Chengyan felt amused. How dare he interrogate me after cheating on me with my sister? ”That has nothing to do with you, no?”

“How can it have nothing to do with me?” Fu Xicheng was furious. “Do you know what you’re doing, Shi Nuan? Yes, I know Shi Wei and I have hurt you, but you can only accept it now that it has happened. You don’t have to hook up with the first man you see! It’s degrading!”
