I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 116

Fu Chengyan was right. No matter how unreasonable Jiang Shizheng was, he still had some common sense and conscious, especially when the other party was his ex-student.

He knew his ex-student’s temperament well, or else, he wouldn’t have introduced Shi Nuan to Fu Chengyan a few months back. Jiang Shizheng had hoped that they would become a couple and something good might come out of it. However, as Shi Nuan was unwilling at that point in time, Jiang Shizheng had not insisted.

But what he did not expect was that, once he stopped forcing it to happen, the two of them actually got together.

Now that Fu Chengyan was singing his praises, the anger which Jiang Shizheng previously felt had completely dissipated. He let out a snort and said, “Don’t think you can fool this old man so easily. Let me tell you, if you fail to provide me with a good explanation, you know my temper!”

“Yes, yes, of course I know. Sir, aren’t you already sure of my character?” Fu Chengyan finally managed to pacify Jiang Shizheng after a bit more of convincing. He looked at Shi Nuan before adding, “Grandpa, since May and I are already married, when do you have time for us to meet you?” Fu Chengyan was a thorough person. “Although you were my teacher, now that I am May’s husband, my status has changed. I should greet you formally.”

“Yup, of course you should!” Jiang Shizheng was glad that Fu Chengyan paid attention to such details. The thought that the old man from the Shi family was still not aware of Nuan and Fu Chengyan’s union made him even happier. “Since this is the case, you guys can come over tomorrow if you are free!”

“Sounds good!” Fu Chengyan laughed light-heartedly as he replied. “I’m free tomorrow, is it convenient for Grandpa?”

“Sure, tomorrow it is then!”

After the date was fixed, Jiang Shizheng chatted for a while more to Shi Nuan before hanging up the phone contentedly.

Shi Nuan heaved a sigh of relief before glaring at Fu Chengyan grumpily and said, “So, do we really have to go see Grandpa tomorrow?”

Honestly, she was not mentally prepared for that yet. The woman was at a loss just now as her grandpa was questioning them.

Compared to Shi Nuan, Fu Chengyan was a lot more composed. He reached out to touch the woman’s forehead gently and ruffled her hair.

Seeing how relaxed the man was, Shi Nuan wondered if she was making a mountain out of a molehill. After all, Fu Chengyan was her grandpa’s favorite student. He probably would not make things difficult for him. However, she was still very troubled at the thought of tomorrow’s visit to the old man and the need to provide an explanation to him.

“Okay, don’t think about it anymore. I’m not even worried, why are you so stressed over it!” Fu Chengyan held the woman’s hand and gave it a reassuring pat. “Do you think Sir is such an unreasonable man?”

“That’s not the case!” Shi Nuan shook her head and said, “I know grandpa’s character and he’s definitely not a difficult person. But as you know, I wasn’t receptive towards the idea when he introduced us at first. He would undoubtedly have his suspicions now that we have suddenly gotten married!” She was indeed concerned. After all, she had not married Fu Chengyan because of love initially. She was worried that her grandpa would be disappointed with her after he found out the truth.

“Silly girl!” Fu Chengyan had a sharp observation. Just by looking at the woman’s expression, he could guess her thoughts. He held her hand and walked out of the study, saying, “There’s nothing to worry about. We can just tell grandpa that I pursued you shamelessly and finally moved you with my sincerity.”

Shi Nuan gave a chuckle and replied, “Do you think grandpa would believe this explanation?” She sized him up before she continued, “You don’t seem like someone who would act so shamelessly!”

The man arched his eyebrow and scratched the woman’s nose with affection. “Hard to say!”

Shi Nuan slapped his hand away and said, “Hmph, then we shall say that tomorrow and see if grandpa believes it.” The woman thought for a while and decided that it was the best explanation they could come up with for now.

“Anyway, there is no reasonable explanation when it comes to love.” Fu Chengyan gave her hand a squeeze and said, “Okay, let’s end the discussion here and talk about something else instead. So, where did you go today?”

Shi Nuan was reminded of something when the man brought this up. “I didn’t expect your guess to be so accurate.”

“Huh?”

Fu Chengyan removed his jacket after the couple entered their bedroom. When he heard what the woman said, he put down his jacket and looked at her attentively.

Shi Nuan bit her lips and hung up Fu Chengyan’s jacket, before continuing, “I went to the teahouse today as Yian wanted me to tally the accounts. She told me that my mom and sister went there today as well!”

“Why would they be there?” The man furrowed his brows. “To find trouble with you?”

Shi Nuan shook her head and replied, “They don’t know that I own the teahouse.”

Fu Chengyan nodded. “Oh right! Then what were they there for?”

“They were there to look for aunt… to look for Fu Xicheng’s mom to discuss the marriage between Fu Xicheng and Shi Wei!” The woman explained. Fu Chengyan merely nodded and did not seem surprised. “You have already anticipated it right?”
