I Want A Lifetime With You

Chapter 44

“Better? Do you know him well? How long have you known him? Nuan, I know you found a random man to make me angry. But doing this—”

“Enough, Fu Xicheng. If you won’t leave, I’ll call the police.”

Shi Nuan had enough of Fu Xicheng. Even if she didn’t know Fu Chengyan well, at least the man wouldn’t lie to her and hurt her.

Shi Nuan wanted to cut ties with Fu Xicheng. This was for their own good. But sometimes, Fu Xicheng was too stubborn and he just wouldn’t give up. The man refused to leave even after hearing what Shi Nuan said. He kept yelling Shi Nuan’s name, and her neighbors who walked past him were already gossiping.

Shi Nuan had no choice but to let him be.

Outside, Fu Xicheng’s fury intensified when he couldn’t hear Shi Nuan’s voice anymore. “Shi Nuan, open the door. Let’s talk. Do you think evading me will solve the problem? You can’t avoid me forever!”

“Excuse me, are you a resident here?”

Fu Xicheng had been there for quite some time when two police officers suddenly came up behind him. They studied Fu Xicheng before telling him, “Someone made a police report, saying there was someone causing a ruckus and being a nuisance to the public here. If you’re not a resident here, please come with us.”

Fu Xicheng was taken away by the two police officers and Shi Nuan finally had some peace.

Right when Shi Nuan was about to let her defenses down, her phone rang. She hesitated when she saw the unknown number, but answered the call anyway. “Hello?”

“It’s me!” A low male voice traveled through the speaker. Shi Nuan was stunned. “Fu Chengyan?”

“Yes!” Fu Chengyan nodded. “Has he left yet?”

Shi Nuan was surprised. “You were the one who called the police? Are you still here?”

She was about to call the police, but the police officers arrived before she could do so. Shi Nuan thought it was her neighbor who had called the police, but it turned out to be Fu Chengyan?

Shi Nuan ran to her balcony, but the familiar car wasn’t down there anymore. She was suspicious, “I don’t see your car!”

“I’m back home.” Fu Chengyan poured himself a glass of water and he leaned back on the sofa, drumming his fingers against the glass.

Shi Nuan had no idea what to say. The man had already left, but he still managed to resolve this problem for her. She owed him another favor now. “Thank you.”

Fu Chengyan raised his brows. He took a sip of water and replied with a grin, “We’re married. You don’t have to be so polite.”

Married?

Shi Nuan bit her lips and blushed.

It seemed strange to hear him say that word out loud. Strangely, she didn’t seem to hate that.

“Since he has left, rest well. You should also pack up your belongings. I’ll be there to pick you up in three days’ time!” Fu Chengyan bid her goodbye and hung up.

Shi Nuan felt warmth spreading in her heart as she stared at her phone after Fu Chengyan hung up.

Besides her two grandfathers, Fu Chengyan was the only person who cared about her feelings and circumstances. Perhaps marrying him wasn’t that unacceptable, even if she didn’t love him at all.

Shi Nuan covered her face with her hands to cool down her flushed cheeks before pocketing her phone. She stood up and went to change her outfit.

Actually, Fu Chengyan was right. Since they were officially husband and wife, they would eventually have to stay beneath the same roof. There was nothing to miss about her home, anyway. Since Fu Xicheng and Shi Wei knew her address, she had to move to prevent unwanted trouble.

She started packing immediately. Although this house was rented, she had accumulated a good deal of stuff over the years. Since she had decided to move, it would be too late to pack last minute. After making up her mind, Shi Nuan started packing up. She would throw away unwanted stuff and pack up the rest. It took her the entire day.

Fu Xicheng never expected that Shi Nuan would actually go through with her threats and call the police. He told them his name in hopes of using his status to get of out this ordeal, but the police officers merely snorted and didn’t let him go. When he told them that he was a member of the Fu clan, the police officer responded, “Even if Mr. Fu is here, we have to follow the procedures.”

Fu Xicheng didn’t know that Mr. Fu was the one who had called the police. Of course the police couldn’t let him leave that easily.

Fu Xicheng had no choice but to call Shi Wei. When Shi Wei heard that Fu Xicheng was in the police station, she immediately headed over.. Fu Xicheng walked out after recording his statement and was greeted by Shi Wei, who tugged at his hand. “What happened? Why are you at the police station? They said you were a nuisance to the public? Xicheng, what happened?”

Fu Xicheng was irritated by Shi Wei’s incessant bombardment of questions. But when he saw how worried Shi Wei was, he reigned in his impatience and told her, “It was Shi Nuan.”

“Nuan?” Shi Wei frowned. That witch again? Despite her inner thoughts, she pretended to be worried and blamed herself. “I’m sorry, Xicheng. It was all my fault. Why don’t we call off our marriage? You can go back to Nuan. Will she forgive us that way?”

“What are you talking about? Who do you think I am? I’m a human being, not a thing. Plus, don’t you know how I feel about Shi Nuan? I’ve always thought of her as my sister. You’re the person I love!”

Fu Xicheng pulled Shi Wei into his arms and patted her back gently. “Don’t ever say that again!”

Shi Wei smiled smugly when she heard his response. However, she said, “What about Nuan? I think she had misunderstood us badly. I’ve never wanted to hurt her.”

“Let’s talk about this later on. Shi Nuan won’t listen to us right now. I even felt guilty last night as I was worried that something bad would happen to her. So, I went to her house to see how she was doing today. I can’t believe she had the audacity to call the cops on me.”

“You mean Nuan was the one who called the police?” Shi Wei asked. She shook her head dubiously and continued, “I don’t believe you. Nuan isn’t someone like that. She likes you a lot, right?”

“She likes me?” Fu Xicheng scoffed, “She doesn’t like me at all. Today, I saw her getting out of a luxury car. The owner of the car was obviously rich. Shi Nuan kept saying we hurt her, but that was merely her excuse. She must’ve been secretly dating another man all along.”

Shi Wei was stunned as confusion flashed across her eyes. Her heart was full of hatred. She thought the person Shi Nuan loved the most was Fu Xicheng. That believe was what led her to set Shi Nuan up and force her to leave Jiang City. For the past year, she deliberately crossed paths with Fu Xicheng so that the man would notice her and fall in love with her.

Shi Wei was not only confident with her looks, but she was also good at putting up a front and presenting herself as a sweet, pure woman. She was popular in the entertainment industry – there

were plenty of people who were obsessed with her. So, she was certain that Fu Xicheng would fall for her instead of that dull woman.

As she had expected, Fu Xicheng fell for her and started pursuing her passionately. Shi Wei’s schemes progressed as planned and they ended up together naturally. Fu Xicheng was even willing to dump Shi Nuan to be with her.

Everything went well – even the Fu family adored her. Shi Wei thought that she had humiliated Shi Nuan badly and had thoroughly crushed her younger sister under her foot, but now Fu Xicheng was telling her that Shi Nuan had found herself another wealthy man? No, this couldn’t be it!

“Xicheng, are you sure it’s true? But Nuan isn’t someone like that!”

“Why not? This morning, she had a new dress on. The dress looked expensive, it must have cost at least a few hundred thousand.”

“A few hundred thousand?” Shi Wei exclaimed in surprise. She gnawed on her bottom lip. “Then what should we do? What about dad? Didn’t he say that Mr. Yun fancies Nuan? Last night, Mr. Yun even got hurt in Nuan’s room!”

A vicious glint flashed across Shi Wei’s eyes. She thought something would happen between Shi Nuan and Yun Shen last night, but that useless Yun Shen got assaulted and fainted instead.

There was an ongoing rumor that Yun Shen loved both women and men. He was also known in Jiang City for his sexual prowess and lack of self-control.

Shi Wei chose the man because of that very reason. She wanted Shi Nuan to lose her virginity to Yun Shen so that no one would want her after that! But she never expected that Shi Nuan would be able to escape.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Last night, they sent Yun Shen to the hospital. She heard that he flew into a fit of rage after waking up this morning and demanded an explanation from the Shi family.

Shi Jingzheng came to her this morning and told her to talk to Shi Nuan with Fu Xicheng. He wanted Shi Nuan to apologize to Yun Shen. Yun Shen wasn’t favored in the Yun family, but he was still a part of that powerful family in Jiang City.

Shi Jingzheng was still waiting for the two hundred million from the Yun family. Of course, he wouldn’t let this opportunity pass.

“What else? We have to console Yun Shen, or else your father wouldn’t get the money and he’ll also risk angering the Yuns.” Fu Xicheng frowned as he blamed everything on Shi Nuan.

“But Yun Shen fancies Shi Nuan…” Shi Wei bit her lips and trailed off. “I don’t want Nuan to marry that man, but dad said his company needs the money. If I don’t love you, I would take Nuan’s place.”

“What are you talking about?” Fu Xicheng frowned. He felt uncomfortable whenever he thought about that pervert, Yun Shen. He tightened his arms around Shi Wei. “You belong to me. I won’t let you be a part of the deal. Plus, Yun Shen fancies Shi Nuan. Even if you wanted to replace her, Yun Shen wouldn’t say yes. He might even be angered at your actions. Never say that again to upset me!”

Fu Xicheng hugged Shi Wei and caressed her hair. “Okay, let’s go home and think of a solution.”

Shi Wei’s eyes flashed cunningly and the corners of her mouth tilted upwards into a sly smile. But when she pushed Fu Xicheng away, the smile on her face was gone, replaced by a pleading look. “I know. But promise me you’ll think of a way to save Nuan. No matter what, she’s my little sister. She’s my only sister! If we have a choice, I don’t want her to be with that Yun Shen!”
