I Want A Lifetime With You

Chapter 599

Chapter 599 Is This Really All Right

As Shi Nuan saw Fu Chengyan and Fu Sijue walking away, she turned around to look at Shen Qianan solemnly. “Qianan, you really got me worried this time!”

When Shen Qianan told Shi Nuan that her godfather had requested a meetup, Shi Nuan had subtly suspected something fishy. The timing was too much of a coincidence. Thankfully, Shi Nuan was vigilant that day. Otherwise, she would have regretted it for a lifetime.

Shen Qianan noticed Shi Nuan’s expression and was surprised that the latter was genuinely worried about her. Hence, she stretched out her hand to hold Shi Nuan’s. “Look, Nuan. I’m all right now, am I not? Don’t worry! I’m fine,” Shen Qianan reassured Shi Nuan while looking at the latter.

Shi Nuan’s eyes reddened. “You’re fine now, but what about the things that happened in the past?”

“Nuan, there are things that we couldn’t have predicted! It’s all right. I asked Chengyan not to tell you because I thought you might get worried. Look at you now! Crying is not good for you and your baby!” Shen Qianan had never imagined having a little sister. Naturally, she did not know how to get along with Shi Nuan. Fortunately, she had now grown more comfortable around Shi Nuan.

“Okay, I’ll stop.” Shi Nuan wiped away her tears. “How’s it at the hospital? Yu is doing well back at home! She’s bonding well with Bao and Bai!”

“I know!” Shen Qianan was at ease with this arrangement. “I’m glad Yu is in your care!”

As Shen Qianan was speaking, she subconsciously looked at her arm. “I’m fine, look…” She raised her arm to reassure Shi Nuan of her condition, not wanting the latter to worry about her. However, Shi Nuan hurriedly held down Shen Qianan’s arm and urged, “Qianan, I told you not to swing your arm around.”

“I said I’m fine!” Shen Qianan let out a helpless chuckle.

“I know, but you’ve got to be careful!” Shi Nuan insisted.

“All right!” Shen Qianan nodded. “I’m happy for you and Chengyan. The two of you seem so lovey- dovey.” With that said, she recalled the deeds she committed in the past. “Nuan, I’m sorry for everything I did before.”

“Why are you apologizing?” Shi Nuan did not feel like it was a big deal anymore, as Shen Qianan had not done anything outrageous. “But you must honestly answer my question!” she added with a sullen look.

Shen Qianan nodded. “Ask ahead!”

“What are your plans with Fu Sijue?”

Shen Qianan hesitated for a moment, and the room suddenly fell silent. Looking at her expression, Shi Nuan guessed the former had not made up her mind about the man yet. “You have to think carefully about this, Qianan.”

“Yes, I’ll consider it thoroughly, but I don’t want to think about these things now. How about you? You’re married to Chengyan but haven’t had a wedding ceremony, right?” Shen Qianan’s eyes were fixated on Shi Nuan as she continued, “You’re now part of the Su family. Even though Chengyan treats you well, you should formalize it eventually.” Shen Qianan clenched Shi Nuan’s hand and advised her, “You should know, this is a crucial moment for a woman. It’s a once-a-lifetime thing!”

Shi Nuan nodded with a smile. “Yes, I know what you are saying. Actually, Yan had wanted to make it public and hold a wedding ceremony for the longest time.” After saying that, she grinned sheepishly.

Shen Qianan looked at Shi Nuan in astonishment. “You mean he wanted to make your relationship public, but you were against it?” The former could not believe it because Fu Chengyan was an unapproachable person to her. Even though the public had celebrated their relationship at first, she never would’ve won his heart.

At that time, Shen Qianan had hoped that Fu Chengyan could give her his word and openly acknowledge her as his partner.

However, after pondering for a moment, she felt everything made sense when the woman was Shi Nuan instead of herself.

Shen Qianan chuckled. “I’ve never thought that Chengyan would get rejected by someone else. That is unheard of!” There was an obvious hint of glee in her voice.

Shi Nuan scratched her head. “Things were quite complicated back then. The Shi family was targeting me, and I was worried that I’d get Yan involved. I didn’t want the purity of our marriage to be sullied by these things, that’s why…”

“I understand. That’s why you wanted Chengyan and the Fu clan to understand that you only married because you like him as a person, not because of his background,” concluded Shen Qianan.

Shi Nuan nodded. “Then, more and more things started to happen, and our relationship improved, so I forgot about this matter. After that, I got pregnant. Hence, it is impossible to hold a ceremony!” Shi Nuan began chattering, opening up to Shen Qianan and sharing some of her experiences.

“Well, Yan has mentioned it a few times recently, and so have his grandfather and the Su family. The two of us have decided to wait until after I’ve given birth and recovered. Since we’re married anyway, we don’t have to rush the wedding!”

“As long as you’ve got a plan.” Realizing that Shi Nuan had everything in order, Shen Qianan was relieved. Then, she called out, “Nuan.”

“Yeah?” Shi Nuan blinked and looked at her.

“Do you think he’ll accept me?” Shen Qianan was referring to Su Huaibei, her and Shi Nuan’s biological father.

“Of course. Actually, he’s still worried that you might not forgive him,” Shi Nuan explained. “He wanted to see you, but he thought you might not like it, or it might affect your health. Thus, he has been reluctant to come to visit.”

Shen Qianan sighed. “After this incident, I’ve figured out many things. Time waits for no one. No one knows what will happen the next second. Ultimately, he did not do anything to harm me. Moreover, Shen Feng and Shen Shixiu have never mistreated me physically.”

“Then… should I call him? I’ll let him know he can see you when he’s free?” Shi Nuan inquired tentatively. Hearing that, Shen Qianan was stunned for a while before turning to face Shi Nuan. The former might seem to be struggling with this decision, but Shi Nuan noticed the hint of longing in her eyes.

“I think he’ll be happy to receive this call!”

Shen Qianan lips curled to a slight smile. “Maybe!”

“He will. trust me!” Shi Nuan was absorbed in her thoughts for a moment before she spoke again. “Qianan, I’ve changed my surname back to Su, do you…”

“Names are just what we call each other. It doesn’t matter if I change it or not.” Shen Qianan looked up at the bottle of IV fluid. “I think I’m ready to be discharged!” After all, other than weakness in her hands,

her body felt fine.

“Just for a while more, okay?” Shi Nuan understood that Shen Qianan was bored of staying in the hospital. “I’ll bring him and Grandpa to see you. Oh, let’s not forget Yu!”

“Sure!”

With that, Shen Qianan stayed in the hospital for a few days. During this time, Fu Sijue returned to Yun Group to take the reins and steer the business back on its path after the company took a massive blow. As for Yun Shen, he seemed to have disappeared after that day and had stayed hidden for a long time.

Meanwhile, Pei Jingxiu had mended the internal cracks in Shengyuan Group one by one. The other hidden threats had also been cleared out of the way thanks to Zhou Zheng, Zhou Zhi, and Liang Lin, who had sacrificed their break time for that.

On the other hand, a certain evil tyrant, who was supposed to be busy working, was relaxing in his cozy home, drinking tea while accompanying his wife.

The sun was warm and not overly harsh that day. Therefore, Fu Chengyan brought a few rattan chairs to the courtyard and then carried Shi Nuan over. Shi Nuan struggled to get out of Fu Chengyan’s arms. After all, she was pregnant, with two babies no less. Hence, she had gained a significant amount of weight, and she was well aware of it too.

Nevertheless, Fu Chengyan was quite strong. Surprisingly, he was able to carry Shi Nuan without breaking a sweat.

He placed Shi Nuan on the rattan chair and set the chair in a rocking motion. Then, he sat down beside her, his slender fingers holding a parenting guidebook. On the coffee table were books about parenting

and postpartum recovery. Fu Chengyan had bought all these books and was reading them meticulously.

Shi Nuan could not help puckering her lips. “Shouldn’t it be me reading those books?”

Chengyan shot an indifferent glance at Shi Nuan and asked, “Would you want to?”

All right! Shi Nuan shrugged as she thought to herself. He had a point, and she could not retort him. “Well, Qianan will be discharged tomorrow. Should we bring her back to Wutong Residence or the Su residence?” Shi Nuan felt a headache coming when she thought about this. She recalled how Su Huaibei had teared up when he knew that Shen Qianan wanted to see him. After that, he had gone to see Shen Qianan immediately. It was clear that he sincerely wanted to make it up to Shen Qianan.

Shi Nuan was happy for Shen Qianan, but she was worried that the latter might not get used to staying in the Su residence. Besides, Shi Nuan had a selfish desire. She loved Yu and the other kids a great deal. If Shen Qianan were to live in the Su residence, Shi Nuan would not be able to see Yu every day anymore.

When Fu Chengyan saw Shi Nuan’s troubled face, he knew she was worrying too much about the others. “Why does she have to go to the Su residence?” Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Shi Nuan’s eyes lit up. “Are you saying that she can continue to stay here?” The truth was, she had been planning to spring this trap on Fu Chengyan all along.

Fu Chengyan raised his brow and denied her wish. “No!”

Shi Nuan immediately seemed dejected. “Why? Even Huan and Ling are staying here! Why can’t Qianan stay?”

“She has a husband!” Chengyan responded somberly.

“Qianan has nothing to do with Sijue!” Even though they have a son together, Qianan had not expressed that she wished to be with Fu Sijue.

“It’s only a matter of time. Now is the best time for them to build their relationship,” Chengyan replied with an impassive expression. “About Huan, I’ve already kicked Li Heng out. As for Ling…” That was a more complicated problem.

Shi Nuan could see what Fu Chengyan was thinking. She made a sound of disapproval and commented, “Hmph, there’s no hope for Shaoqing!”

Chengyan nodded in agreement. “I’ve given some thought to it. Isn’t Mom quite dutiful to you now? She’s trying to get on your side. Why don’t you help her out? Once Mom’s relationship with Ling improves, Ling can stay in the Fu residence.” By then, no one could bother them anymore.

Shi Nuan gritted her teeth. “Fu Chengyan, are you sure this is all right?”
