I Want A Lifetime With You

Chapter 25

Shi Nuan realized she had just been set up only after leaving the antique shop. She was supposed to buy a gift, so how did she end up having to buy Fu Chengyan a meal!? Moreover, she hadn’t even received the gift!

“What are you thinking about?”

Fu Chengyan was walking in front, but he stopped after noticing how absent-minded the woman behind him was.

Shi Nuan was so surprised by Fu Chengyan’s sudden halt that she nearly bumped into him. She shook her head in shock and asked, “Where would you like to go, Mr. Fu?”

Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes and cast a glance on Shi Nuan, smiling faintly. “Since it’s your treat, it should naturally be your decision!”

Shi Nuan hesitated for a moment before saying, “As long as you don’t mind, Mr. Fu!”

Her status was different from Fu Chengyan’s. Fu Chengyan was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Everything he wore and ate was superior to that of the average person. She was different from him.

She may have been born into the Shi family, but she was never treated like a Shi family princess. Shi Nuan had to be strong and independent. She was no different from a commoner.

The gap between Fu Chengyan and her was so wide that when Fu Chengyan made such a suggestion, Shi Nuan wondered if he had gone mad.

“I think you misunderstand me, Ms. Shi. I’m not that difficult to please!” Fu Chengyan said with a smile. “After you, Ms. Shi!”

Fu Chengyan drove a different car today. It was much more low-profile. Seeing Fu Chengyan open the door to the passenger seat for her, she hesitated before entering the car.

Fu Chengyan closed the door then circled around the car to get in the driver’s seat. He looked at Shi Nuan after putting on his seatbelt and said, “Show me the way then, Ms. Shi!”

“Wenchang Road. Thank you!”

Fu Chengyan opened up the navigation app and drummed the steering wheel with his slender fingers. “Not far from Jing University?”

Shi Nuan was surprised and turned to look at Fu Chengyan. Fu Chengyan merely smiled and stroked his chin. “Have you forgotten, Ms. Shi? I also graduated from Jing University!”

It suddenly dawned upon Shi Nuan. Her maternal grandfather used to talk about how Fu Chengyan was his best student for so many years. It appeared that this was true.

“But I haven’t gone back there for so long, so I don’t know what Jing University is like now!”

“Have you never gone back to visit, Mr. Fu?” Shi Nuan was the kind of person who took her feelings seriously, whether it was about people or objects.

She was also a Jing University graduate. She would drop by every year and also visit the little shops nearby to reminisce her youth.

But for a huge figure like Fu Chengyan, he would attract attention everywhere he went. He probably didn’t like crowded places.

Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes slightly and replied, “Yeah. Work gets really busy. Besides, I’m not one to look back at the past.” Fu Chengyan gave Shi Nuan a meaningful glance as he spoke.

Shi Nuan stiffened for a moment and turned away wordlessly. It took her a while before she finally responded, “It’s impossible for someone to not have a past.”

“But isn’t it counterproductive if you keep immersing yourself in the past and letting it affect your present?”

Shi Nuan fell silent again. She didn’t understand why someone like Fu Chengyan would say such things. She observed Fu Chengyan then said, “I think you should be a lawyer, Mr. Fu. Or maybe a psychiatrist.”

“Oh?” Fu Chengyan raised his brow. “What brought you to this conclusion, Ms. Shi?” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

“Do you always comfort other people like this?” Shi Nuan couldn’t help but wonder how a person like Fu Chengyan would comfort others.

Fu Chengyan’s index finger tapped the steering wheel. He didn’t look stern, but he looked very earnest. “No one else,” he said.

Shi Nuan froze for moment, but Fu Chengyan continued on, “No one else but you.”
