I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 119

When they left after dinner, Shi Nuan kept bugging Fu Chengyan to tell her what went on between him and Jiang Shizheng. Even though her grandpa had held back in expressing his displeasure, she knew that the old man was not pleased that they had made their move first before asking for his permission.

But the situation seemed to have changed after their game of chess. At dinner just now, she could clearly sense the difference in her grandpa’s vibe as compared to before.

During dinner, Jiang Shizheng not only ate two bowls of rice, he also kept putting food onto Fu Chengyan’s plate. Even herself, the old man’s biological granddaughter, did not get to enjoy such treatment.

While Fu Chengyan was occupied, Shi Nuan took the chance to ask her grandpa what exactly did Fu Chengyan tell him. She also kept guaranteeing that she and Fu Chengyan would have a happy marriage and get along well with each other.

However, what she got was a knock on her head from the old man, who said, “A married daughter is like splashed water.” His granddaughter had already started defending Fu Chengyan even though they were newlyweds.

However, the tone of Jiang Shizheng’s voice was one of relief, instead of anger.

Shi Nuan could tell that her grandpa had already approved of their marriage. However, neither of the men told her how Fu Chengyan managed to convince grandpa.

As such, Shi Nuan had been pestering Fu Chengyan to tell her what happened ever since they left her grandpa’s place.

As Fu Chengyan drove, he could see that Shi Nuan was very bothered by it. The man laughed as he reached out to touch his wife’s head. “I didn’t really say much. I just promised grandpa that I will always be good to you. I also told him to keep tabs on me!”

“I don’t believe you!” Shi Nuan lifted her chin and continued, “Grandpa is not that gullible. I don’t believe he would relent just because you said that.”

Fu Chengyan couldn’t help but let out an amused laugh. “So, you hope that grandpa would make things difficult for us again?”

“Errr… “ Shi Nuan bit her lips and said, “I don’t mean that. I just don’t think that grandpa would be so easily persuaded.”

Actually, Shi Nuan was just scared. She already knew that her grandpa would not be too hard on Fu Chengyan, but she just could not help worrying. Even though they were already married, her relationship with Fu Chengyan was actually not that stable yet.

The reason why Shi Nuan was reluctant to tell her two grandpas about her marriage was because she did not want them to worry. It was also because she lacked self-confidence.

After going through one failed relationship, Shi Nuan had not intended to jump into the next one so soon. Fu Chengyan was an accident. She was also not confident that it would work out well, especially when their marriage was a tactical one. At least, that was the case when she first decided to marry Fu Chengyan.

“Okay, since the matter has already been resolved, let’s stop harping on it! OK?” Fu Chengyan said as he ruffled Shi Nuan’s hair.

“I’ve bought movie tickets. The movie is starting in one hour’s time!” Fu Chengyan said. Shi Nuan raised her head in surprise. “You bought movie tickets?”

“Yup!” Fu Chengyan nodded. “I heard from Zhou Zheng that the theaters are screening a few Hollywood blockbusters recently, are you interested?”

“Of course!” Shi Nuan nodded excitedly. “Anyway, there’s nothing to do at home if we go back so early.” Besides, she enjoyed watching Hollywood blockbusters. When she was dating Fu Xicheng previously, he was always too busy to go out with her, not to mention watching movies together.

Shi Nuan also remembered that, even during those times when they went out, whenever Shi Nuan suggested watching literary films, Fu Xicheng would turn her suggestion down, expressing contempt for the cringe-worthy movie genre. Whenever she proposed watching a Hollywood action movie instead, Fu Xicheng would come up with another excuse, saying that a lady should not watch such violent genre. He also doubted that she would be able to understand the movie even if they watched it.

Come to think of it, Shi Nuan suddenly realized that, back then when she and Fu Xicheng were dating, they had not engaged much in any couple activities.

Shi Nuan couldn’t help but shake her head and let out a self-deprecating soft laugh. Only upon self-reflection had she realized the problems between she and Fu Xicheng.

“What are you laughing about?”

Fu Chengyan noticed that Shi Nuan was looking a bit glum. Keeping one hand on the steering wheel, he held Shi Nuan’s hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. “You don’t feel like watching?”

The woman shook her head and replied, “It’s not that. I was just reminded of the past and realized how silly I was last time.”

Fu Chengyan arched his brow. With one look, he already knew that Shi Nuan was feeling emotional. Patting the back of her hand, he said, “It’s time to move on from the past. Your present is great.”

The woman lifted up her head and nodded. With a chuckle, she said, “Don’t worry about me, I was just suddenly overwhelmed.” Shi Nuan still had a good grasp of her own feelings and situation.

She was a lot happier as compared to before. “Are you really not going to tell me what you and grandpa talked about?”

Fu Chengyan laughed lightly, tickled by her tenacity. “I didn’t really say anything. I merely told grandpa that you only agreed to be with me after I shamelessly pursed you, and I will never let you down,” he answered as he held her hand. “If I ever betray you, you will get everything that belongs to me.”
