I Want a Lifetime with You

Never in Shi Nuan’s wildest dreams did she think Fu Xicheng would be such a scum. He was the one who wronged her for cheating on her with Shi Wei. How dare he blame her for what he did?

Shi Nuan glared at Fu Xicheng. “I’ll forget what happened—this once. I won’t tell anyone, but I don’t want this to happen again.” Shi Nuan left after saying that.

Fu Xicheng stared at Shi Nuan’s back. The fragrance that he caught when he was hugging Shi Nuan left him in a daze.. He recalled a fragrance that was unique to Shi Nuan. When they were dating, he’d hold her hand for the entire day, and her scent would linger even after she had left.

Fu Xicheng clenched his fists as his eyes reddened with fury.

Shi Nuan belongs to me! She can only belong to me. Even if I don’t love her, she’s mine!

Shi Nuan went upstairs swiftly. She felt tainted by Fu Xicheng’s hug. Hence, after putting her belongings down, she went to the restroom and scrubbed her hands aggressively until her skin almost peeled off. She only stopped when it started to hurt, and she exhaled heavily.

She told herself that Fu Xicheng had nothing to do with her, but she still felt hurt when she recalled the times she spent with him.

Fu Xicheng had been the man of her dreams ever since she was young. Back then, even before she started dating him, she’d always followed him around. Fu Xicheng was a few years older than her. When she was in junior high, all her attention was on the senior that would walk past her class during recess.

Shi Nuan didn’t know what it was like to love someone back then. All she knew was that her heart felt contented whenever she looked at him.

On a fateful day, he had coincidentally saved her, and that was the beginning of their friendship. Before Shi Wei interfered, everything was wonderful.

Even though the Shi family ostracized her, Fu Xicheng gave her warmth. When she was eighteen, he was the first one to celebrate her birthday.

Shi Nuan’s eyes reddened as the memories flashed quickly before her eyes. She still remembered everything, but the young man in her memories had changed. Turns out time was their biggest enemy.

Right when Shi Nuan was about to leave the restroom, she heard people talking about her. “Did you know? Someone in the carpark saw Shi Nuan driving an expensive car to work!”

“Expensive car? It’s just a Ferrari. What’s the fuss about?” Ms. A was jealous when she heard what Ms. B said. “You know nothing about cars. Let me tell you. Rich people won’t drive that brand!”

“Really?” Ms. B smiled, “I think you’re jealous! I heard that the Ferrari is the latest model and it had been modified. If she isn’t rich, why would she spend money to do that?” Ms. B was slightly envious. “Ms. Shi keeps a low profile, huh?”

“Are you sure the car belongs to Shi Nuan? If it belongs to another man—”

“Shh!” Ms. C cut them off. “How dare you talk about this in public?”
