I Want a Lifetime with You

Fu Jiayu’s expression was dark. “Do you have to go this far, Chengyan?”

Fu Chengyan looked at her and smirked. “You raised me up, so you should know the kind of person I am.” Fu Chengyan flicked his cigarette again, and Fu Jiayu’s expression darkened further. “I will get rid of Fu Renjiang. I don’t care about your relationship with him. You have to know that Shengyuan is the Fu family’s business, not yours.”

“You…” Fu Jiayu’s expression was stormy, but she knew the kind of person Fu Chengyan was. “I understand.”

“Jiayu.” He threw the cigarette butt away. “I hate it when people threaten me with people I love.”

Fu Jiayu was taken aback, then she shuddered after Fu Chengyan had driven away. At the same time, Cheng An woke up but she cried, for she didn’t see her mother. “Mama!” she wailed.

“I’m here!” Fu Jiayu knew that they had crossed the point of no return, so she asked the driver to take her to Fu Renjinag’s place.

The night was in full bloom when Fu Chengyan came home. The forest outside the Wutong Residence danced with the evening wind. Shi Nuan had just come out from the bathroom and saw Fu Chengyan holding his robe that he took from the closet room. She held a towel as the woman dried her hair, surprised to see Fu Chengyan.

Fu Chengyan had seen her too, so the man squinted at her. Shi Nuan only had a towel on her. She wanted to take her pajamas inside with her, though she had forgotten about it. The woman didn’t think much about it, for she thought she was alone, but she didn’t expect Fu Chengyan to come back so suddenly. When Shi Nuan noticed his almost perverted gaze on her, she looked where he was looking, and the woman covered her chest. “Ah! W-When did you come home?”

She quickly took her pajamas and went into the bathroom. Fu Chengyan squinted and pursed his lips, smiling at how panicked Shi Nuan was.

She went into the bathroom and quickly changed into her pajamas, but when she came back out, Fu Chengyan was nowhere to be seen. Shi Nuan didn’t know how she should feel, so she bit her lip and patted her face, before snapping out of her delusion.

The woman paced around the room slowly, but in the end, she went out anyway. Fu Chengyan was bathing in the guest room’s bathroom. When he recalled how she looked just now, the man showered himself with cold water.

He didn’t expect her to bathe at this moment, and she was almost naked. He was a healthy man, while she was his wife. Fu Chengyan sighed at the thought of that. He wasn’t someone who would hesitate too much, but every time he met her, she would always mess up his tempo.

Fu Chengyan went to the study right after he was done showering, but much to his surprise, Shi Nuan was there too, so he squinted. When he saw that she was holding The Art of War, the man creased his eyebrow. “Interested?”

Shi Nuan shook her head with a smile, then she put it down. “My grandpa also has this book in his study. Say, you couldn’t have picked up this hobby from him, could you have?”
