I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 137

When they were done, Fu Chengyan carried Shi Nuan into the bathroom for a shower. After that, Shi Nuan could not find any energy within herself to ask more about Anna, and soon she fell fast asleep. With a smile in his eyes, Fu Chengyan laid her on the bed gently before heading to the study.

According to Zhou Zheng, there were basically not much happenings in K country. In response to that, Fu Chengyan stroked his chin before instructing Zhou Zheng to move their people back, temporarily letting down their guards. It was only at the end that he remembered that he had more instructions for Zhou Zheng.

When Shi Nuan woke up in the morning, she didn’t feel right. Her entire body felt weak and she couldn’t muster up any energy at all.

It was only when the sun shone into the room that she could think clearly. With her eyes as large as saucers, she thought for a while before getting out of bed.

“You are awake?”

Fu Chengyan’s voice came from the door. Shi Nuan was stunned before she kicked off the covers. “Why didn’t you wake me up?” With a glance at the clock, she realized that it was already past eight. “Don’t you have to be at work today?”

 

“No hurry.” Fu Chengyan was a picture of calmness. He walked over and tidied her tousled hair. “Do you still remember what I told you last night?”

Shi Nuan narrowed her eyes and tried to think. “What did you say last night?” All she could remember was that they were talking about Anna, but he began to touch her and before she knew it, they…..

 

Shi Nuan then glared at Fu Chengyan. “You kept disturbing me when I was trying to talk to you last night!” She complained bitterly. “What did you say to me?”

“We are going to the office today, yea?” He whispered to her ear. “Do you remember that now?”

Shi Nuan suddenly came to the realization that he did say something like that, but it was when he was all over her. Of course she could not remember what he had said, she was barely conscious then.

Now that she remembered it, she hesitated. “Are we really going?”

“Yup!” Fu Chengyan nodded. “Don’t tell me that you are thinking of just staying at home the whole day!” Even though he did not want her to suffer, he also did not want her to just do nothing at home. Even though he was more than able to take care of her, he was still very aware of her capabilities.

Shi Nuan immediately shook her head. She definitely did not want to be a slacker and just waste away at home. However, she had been on a break and had not thought of what she wanted to do. “In that case….I’ll go and give it a try. However, let’s make things clear. I want to attend an interview and you are not to get involved!”

“All right!” Fu Chengyan chuckled and pinched her nose. “Of course I know that our little May is perfectly capable. All right, wash up and get dressed, we will leave immediately after breakfast!”

“Hang on.” Shi Nuan grabbed his arm. “I….I haven’t even sent in my resume!”

“Oh, I’ve gotten Zhou Zheng to settle that for you earlier. Just so happens, they set the interview for today.” He wasn’t expecting her to be worried about this. “All you have to do is to mentally prepare yourself for the interview, that’s all!”

By the time they finished breakfast, it was about 9.30am. Shi Nuan got into Fu Chengyan’s car, and it was only then that she remembered, “Which department did you help me apply for?”

“The projects department.” Fu Chengyan replied while looking sideways at Shi Nuan. “Just go to the projects department first, since you were in the same department when you were at Fucheng.”

Shi Nuan nodded. “All right, that makes sense.”

Fu Chengyan had actually planned this for his own benefit. It would be good for Shi Nuan to receive some training and experience at the projects department. For the Fu family to accept her as his partner, she still had to put in a lot of work to prove herself.

He did not set out to make Shi Nuan do all these. Based on his character, he couldn’t care less even if his family did not approve of her. However, he thought of how Shi Nuan had brought him to meet both Shi Yunsheng and Jiang Shizheng. Clearly, she was very serious about this relationship, so he wanted to show his sincerity too.

He had another reason for placing Shi Nuan at the projects department. Fu Renjiang’s people had always populated this department. Even though Fu Renjiang had already been removed, he still wielded some influence in the department. He had already planted some people into the department to replace the existing ones, but he still lacked a leader of the pack.

Fu Chengyan glanced at Shi Nuan and realized that she was already bent over her work.

She was an independent and opinionated person. Her talents had been buried all the while when she was at Fucheng, and she had no clue of her own potential. However, he knew it very well. It took an extraordinary person to be able to successfully negotiate that deal at Yun Cheng.

“Ummm…..”

“Mm hmm?” Fu Chengyan threw a sideway glance at her. “Anxious?”

Shi Nuan nodded. “A little!” To her, Shengyuan was still a large company, which was incomparable to Fucheng, where she had worked before. She did not know Shengyuan too well either, so she wasn’t sure how well she would do in the interview later.

Fu Chengyan could not help but smile at her distressed look. “I could open a backdoor for you if you beg me a little?”

“No!” Shi Nuan rejected him without any hesitation. “I want to do it by myself, not with your help!”
