I Want A Lifetime With You

Chapter 66

Shi Nuan shook her head while saying, “Not really.”

Fu Chengyan’s gaze trailed to Shi Nuan’s feet. His gaze darkened when he saw the high heels that she was wearing. “Let’s go!”

“Where are we going?”

“To buy you new shoes!” Fu Chengyan said, “Next time, you should speak out when you feel uncomfortable, okay?”

Shi Nuan was stunned for a moment and she blinked several times before replying, “It’s fine. I’m okay with it. I have plenty of shoes at home so there’s no need to buy new ones.” She thought that Fu Chengyan was overdoing it but the man didn’t give her a chance to refuse. He led her straightaway to the shoe section and they went into one of the shops together.

When the salesperson saw Fu Chengyan, especially in the fancy suit he had on, she couldn’t help but stare at him. Fu Chengyan shot a sharp look at the salesperson who then hurriedly glanced away. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Shi Nuan pursed her lips and raised her brows. “See, although she doesn’t know who you are, you’re outstanding.”

“I am glad to hear your kind praises!” Fu Chengyan caressed her gently. “Choose a pair of comfortable shoes so next time, you don’t have to suffer.” Fu Chengyan gazed at her feet. “You’re the one who’s in pain.”

Shi Nuan pursed her lips. Whenever she was upset, she’d do this subconsciously. After being together for a long time, Fu Chengyan already understood what her little actions meant. He stretched his hand out to caress her head. “Be good. Go!”

Shi Nuan shoved his hand away. “Don’t touch my head. I’m not your pet!” Shi Nuan sounded upset but she still obediently went to choose a pair of shoes.

Fu Chengyan did this for her own sake. Plus, her feet were really hurting. She had been wearing that pair of shoes for the whole day, so her heels and soles were aching badly. “Could you sit someplace and wait for me then?”

“Sure.” Fu Chengyan replied while sitting down on the sofa and grabbing a magazine.

Fu Chengyan was able to stay calm and composed no matter where he was. That was hard to come by.

Shi Nuan shook her head and started to carefully browse through the collection of shoes.

The salesperson had been working in the shopping mall for years and had plenty of experience with wealthy men like Fu Chengyan. Although she had no idea who Fu Chengyan was, his clothes seemed expensive and there was no tag to be seen, which meant that he was wearing a custom-fitted suit. She was certain that Fu Chengyan was a wealthy man. And as for the woman who came in with him, they seemed to be in a close relationship based on how they held hands, hence the salesperson quickly walked up to her.

“Miss, what kind of design do you have in mind? This pair of shoes was flown in from Italy a few days ago. I believe they will suit you well.”

Shi Nuan glanced at the pair of shoes in the display cabinet while the salesperson continued, “Miss, with your elegance, I’m sure you can carry the shoes well!”

Shi Nuan raised her brows as she was indeed attracted by that pair of high heels.

They were bright red in color and there was a unique design around the ankles. It was very artistic and was obviously designed by a well-known designer.

This was a pair of high heels that any woman would buy on first glance. Shi Nuan walked towards the cabinet and gazed at it intently.

The desire to look attractive was universal. No woman would refuse such a gorgeous pair of high heels. Shi Nuan was just like any other woman and she was also naturally attracted to beautiful things. Shi Nuan had been looking at the pair of shoes for some time. The salesperson could see that she liked it a lot and said, “Miss, you have good taste. This is from Italy—”

“Wow, how gorgeous!” A light voice interrupted the salesperson. “I saw this during the previous fashion show. The famous designer Cen designed it. I noticed the high heels when Opina had them on and wanted to buy them ever since. I have never dreamt to see them in Jiang City!”

Shi Nuan froze when she heard that voice. True enough, Shi Wei walked into the store with two socialites behind her. Shi Nuan met those ladies before. They were Shi Wei’s friends and they often teased her.

Shi Nuan frowned and instinctively wanted to leave. But Shi Wei wouldn’t let her do so. The woman exclaimed in surprise as if she had just noticed Shi Nuan. “Nuan! Oh Nuan, you’re here to shop too?”

Shi Wei came over and grabbed onto her arm. “Nuan, are you busy recently? Why didn’t you come home to visit us?”

Shi Nuan’s brows furrowed as Shi Wei was gripping her hand. She pulled her hand back and smiled, “Long time no see. You’re shopping with your friends?”

“Yes, Nuan.” Shi Wei smiled. “These are my friends. You’ve seen them before, remember?”

“Yes.” Of course I remember.

Shi Wei’s lips twitched as she looked at Shi Wei and her two friends. One of them is Anna, but who is the other one? Right, she’s Su Su!

Shi Nuan nodded. “Since you’re shopping, I won’t disturb you.”

Shi Nuan remembered that there was still another person in the shop. She couldn’t let Shi Wei find out that she was with Fu Chengyan. She took a peek at where Fu Chengyan was standing just moments ago but realized that he was gone.

Shi Nuan was stunned. She recalled what she had told Fu Chengyan. Did he leave because of that?

Shi Nuan didn’t know what emotions she was feeling but it could be a twinge of disappointment. However, she didn’t dwell on it for long. She looked away. “It’s late and I have to go to work tomorrow.”

“Nuan!” Shi Wei pulled her hand. “Are you still mad at me? I know Xicheng and I had wronged you but it had been ages since that happened. No matter what, we’re still sisters. Nothing will change that fact.” Shi Wei seemed sorrowful when she said that. “You haven’t been home in a while. Mom and dad are worried about you. Grandpa is a little unwell too. Even if you’re upset at me, you should still visit them once in a while.”

Shi Nuan sneered silently. If she had not known better, she would have thought that Shi Wei was talking about some other unfilial person.

Seeing that Shi Nuan remained silent, Shi Wei continued, “If you don’t want to see me, you can call before coming home so I can leave first. Nuan, I—”

“Enough!” Shi Nuan frowned. “It’s none of your business whether I go back or not.” Shi Nuan sneered, “What have you done to make you feel like you have to avoid me? Was it because of guilt?”

“You…” Shi Wei trailed off sadly as she stared at Shi Nuan in disbelief. “Nuan, how could you say that? X-Xicheng and I are really in love! He doesn’t love you and it’s no good for you to keep harassing him!”

“Yes, Shi Nuan, you should know your place. Fu Xicheng and Shi Wei love each other deeply. They are perfect for each other. Why do you have to intervene?” Anna spoke up suddenly. Her words were targeted at Shi Nuan, accusing her as the other woman who was messing up their relationship.

Shi Nuan laughed coldly at them for twisting the truth. “You’re indeed good friends, huh?”

“Of course we’re good friends. That’s why we have to stand up for Wei. You’re Wei’s sister and we can’t do anything about it but don’t be ungrateful. Remember, if it wasn’t for Wei who had saved you back then, you wouldn’t be standing here right now. How dare you snatch Wei’s boyfriend away from her?”

Shi Nuan’s lips trembled. “Enough. Stop repeating it over and over again. You know what the truth was and who was the other woman. Are you trying to humiliate me in public by twisting the truth?” Shi Nuan clenched her fists and took a deep breath. “I always give in but that doesn’t mean I won’t get mad. Shi Wei, this is the last time. You go your way and I’ll go mine. From this day onwards, we are not related to each other anymore.”

From the corner of her eyes, Shi Nuan spotted a familiar person and she hurriedly continued, “Since you like Fu Xicheng that much, cherish him well. I won’t look back. Especially not for that piece of trash. You can have him all for yourself.”

“You…” Shi Wei face turned pale. “Nuan, how could you say that? What can you get from hurting me?”

“Why are you wasting time talking to her?” Anna was impatient already. “Don’t you see her attitude? You think of her as your sister but she might not think the same way!” Anna clenched her jaw and glared at Shi Nuan.

Shi Nuan chuckled, “Your friend is right. From the moment you took my boyfriend away from me, I stopped thinking of you as my sister. So the next time we meet, just pretend that you don’t know me.”

“Look at her. Wei, I told you not to be such a weakling or else other people will bully you!”

“Don’t say that, Anna. After all, Nuan is still my only baby sister.”

Shi Nuan smirked as she watched Shi Wei and Anna agreeing with each other. However, Su Su who came with them remained silent the whole time. Her gaze was fixated on Shi Nuan.

To be exact, her gaze was fixated on the figure behind Shi Nuan. Shi Nuan narrowed her eyes and turned around. She was immediately shocked to see Fu Chengyan standing right behind her.

A flash of panic appeared in her eyes. She was about to open her mouth when Shi Wei spoke up, “Is this Mr. Fu? Hello, Mr. Fu. Why are you here?”

Shi Nuan frowned. When she saw Fu Chengyan’s hint for her to remain silent, she shut her mouth and stood aside.

“You are?” Fu Chengyan stared at Shi Wei in confusion. “Do I know you?”

Shi Wei was stunned. She bit her lips and replied in an upset tone, “Mr. Fu, don’t you remember? I’m Shi Wei, Fu Xicheng’s fiancée. You attended my grandpa’s birthday party and gave him a set of chess. Do you still remember that?”

“Oh.” Fu Chengyan nodded as if he finally recognized her. “Sounds familiar.” He smirked when he saw Shi Wei’s delighted expression before continuing, “So who are you?”
