I Want a Lifetime with You

Shi Nuan lowered her head quickly before glancing guiltily at Lin Yu who was indeed looking at her, with a hint of resignation in his smiling eyes. Shi Nuan shot him a look asking him for help so he wouldn’t expose her.

Lin Yu rapped his knuckles on the table and glanced sternly at Yuan Jia. “We shouldn’t gossip about Mr. Fu like that. It’s getting late. Finish your lunch quick and go back to work!”

Yuan Jia stuck her tongue out at Shi Nuan and stopped talking about it. But Shi Nuan was wondering if that Song Jingyu really liked Fu Chengyan.

Her question remained unanswered until she got off work. Recently, both of them had been leaving the company together. When it was almost time to get off work, Fu Chengyan would call her and tell her to wait for him downstairs. The man did the same today.

Fu Chengyan even asked her what she wanted to have for dinner tonight. They would talk about dinner every day after work, so Shi Nuan thought they were behaving like a couple who had been married for a long time.

Shi Nuan was about to leave after packing up her stuff when Yuan Jia stopped her. “Shi Nuan, are you free tonight?”

“Hmm?” Shi Nuan paused, “What’s wrong?”

“No, it’s actually nothing important. We’re colleagues, right? Since you started working for Shengyuan, we’ve never shopped or ate together after work. Do you want to have dinner together?”

“Now?” Shi Nuan faltered. “I’m afraid I can’t make it today.” Shi Nuan was heading to buy ingredients for dinner as she had just agreed to have dinner with Fu Chengyan back at home. But she felt slightly embarrassed because this was Yuan Jia’s first time asking her out. “Can we make it another day? I told my family I’ll be heading home.”

“Oh, I see.” Yuan Jia seemed disappointed. “It’s nothing. Well, I’m not young anymore. My parents kept urging me to get married, but I don’t even have a boyfriend! My mom just got someone to introduce me to a man and I’m going to meet him today. But it seems strange to go alone.”

Yuan Jia seemed so troubled. “Actually, I’m not that old but my mom kept urging me to get married! It’s like she thinks I can’t do that myself.”

Shi Nuan grinned. “Your parents are doing this for your sake.” She patted Yuan Jia’s shoulders. “I think you should go. If the man isn’t to your liking, you can leave instantly. I’m really sorry but I’m not free today.”

“It’s fine. I’ll go myself!” Yuan Jia rubbed her head in frustration. “You should leave first. I have to head there after packing up my stuff.”

“Okay. See you tomorrow!” Shi Nuan bid goodbye to Yuan Jia and headed to Fu Chengyan’s parking lot. After she walked in, a shrill female voice rang out. “Yan, I didn’t drive to work today. Can you give me a ride home?”
