I Want A Lifetime With You

Chapter 93

It was a long kiss that Shi Nuan had never experienced before. Fu Chengyan held her in his embrace, and finally left her lips. She gasped for air and buried her head in Fu Chengyan’s chest.

He ended the kiss after another while. Fu Chengyan came out from the car and tidied Shi Nuan’s messy hair before he pulled her into his embrace with a smile.

Shi Nuan blushed as she listened to his strong heartbeat from his chest.

Fu Chengyan’s hug gradually warmed up Shi Nuan’s cold heart.

It was as if time froze at that instant; nothing was said nor asked, and he had her in his arms. It was as if a century had passed, and Shi Nuan lifted her head to the sight of his cracked lips. She instinctively bit her lips as she saw Fu Chengyan’s busted lips and caressed it, “Does it hurt?”

Fu Chengyan’s caught her hand and looked into her eyes deeply. “No.”

Shi Nuan tugged her lips, “Why didn’t you ask me?”

Fu Chengyan shook his head and embraced her again, “You can tell me whenever you want.” He was not curious about what happened, but he touched the mark he saw on her left cheek. “Did they hit you?”

Shi Nuan stiffened at the dreadful memory of the hospital. She pursed her lips in silence.

Fu Chengyan caressed her cheek and gave it a light kiss, “Don’t keep it all to yourself. I’m here with you.”

Shi Nuan lifted her face in shock and met with Fu Chengyan’s captivating eyes. She eventually nodded as she tried to speak while tugging at his shirt. “I’m tired. Let’s go back.”

“Okay, let’s go home.” Fu Chengyan saw Shi Nuan into the car and buckled her up before he got on himself. “Get some sleep at home. We’ll talk tomorrow.”

Shi Nuan nodded with her sleepy eyes. “Sleep. I’ll wake you up when we reach home.” Fu Chengyan stroked her face.

Home?

Shi Nuan’s heart trembled and shook her head, “I can’t sleep. Let’s talk.”

“Sure!”

Fu Chengyan ignited the car engine, but Shi Nuan merely stared at him by the side. She maintained her position along the way as he waited for her to speak.

“They know about Grandpa giving me his shares.”

After that, she spoke, “They wanted to take them back as they thought I tricked him into it.”

“As expected.” Fu Chengyan tapped the steering wheel, deep in thought. It was as what he had expected, except that it happened earlier. “It’s normal for your father to crave for your grandfather’s shares. Then?”

Then?

Shi Nuan curved her lips while stroking her cheek, “Grandpa had a stroke from being mad at them. He’s still in a coma at the ICU. They won’t let me off now that they know the shares are with me.” She knew too well about the cunning lot in the Shi family.

Didn’t they try to make her sleep with Yun Shen for two billion? The plan eventually failed, so…

Shi Nuan clenched her fist tightly, “I thought everything would be fine if I tolerated them. But now I know that they won’t feel apologetic from my kindness.”

She was agitated from the despair brought to her by her close kin. They were never apologetic in spite of her compromise.

A sudden warmth engulfed her as Fu Chengyan clasped her hand. “What do you plan to do?”

Shi Nuan pursed her lips in hesitation and eventually layered her other hand on him, “Are you going to help me?”

Fu Chengyan’s jet black eyes glimmered with delight, “Yes.”

“I want a stock replacement with you.”

Fu Chengyan smiled, “Whatever you wish.” As her husband, he would stand by her side no matter what happened.

“Won’t you ask me why?” Shi Nuan was shocked, “Aren’t you scared…”

“Why should I?” Fu Chengyan shook his head, “You can do anything you want as I promised. I’ll back you up.”

Shi Nuan smiled genuinely this time at Fu Chengyan’s affection towards her. How could such an outstanding man be willing to follow her bidding?

She moved his hand on her head away, preventing him from messing her hair up. “Drive carefully!” After a while, she said, “I wanted to exchange Xinhuang Entertainment’s shares with you.”

“No problem. Zhou Zheng can handle it.” Fu Chengyan took a deep breath as he steered, “Have you thought it through?”

Shi Nuan nodded, “Yes. Grandpa wanted to protect me by giving me his shares. But it’s troublesome too.”

Fu Chengyan nodded in agreement to Old Master Shi’s intention.

“It’s useless for me to own the shares when I don’t know how to use them. The lot in the Shi family would try to sabotage me. It’s better to give them away than to keep them myself.” She looked at Fu Chengyan, “Shi Yu would probably refuse to accept them too. I’d rather he steps away from this mess as he shares the same plight as me in the family.”

Fu Chengyan understood her intentions. “It’s better to pass them to an outsider than Shi Yu. I’ll take care of the shares for you.”

“You’re not an outsider!” Shi Nuan corrected him, “You’re an outsider to the Shi family, not me.”

Fu Chengyan smiled in comfort. With her acknowledgment towards him, it seemed alright for him to get involved with the Shi family. “I know.”

Fu Chengyan took the confused Shi Nuan into the study as they reached Wutong Residence. She stared at him in shock when he handed her an equity interest transfer agreement, “You’re all prepared? This is for me?”

Fu Chengyan shook his head, “It’s for you, but it’s not for the equity exchange.”

Shi Nuan was bewildered, “Then?”

“Didn’t I say I have something for you? I guess we shared the same thought.” Fu Chengyan held up the agreement with his slender hand.

Shi Nuan was shocked and touched at the same time. She wanted to speak but didn’t know what to say.

Fu Chengyan embraced her and stroked her hair. “Silly girl, I didn’t give you any betrothal gift after our marriage. The 20% of shares would be it.”

“But it’s too precious!” she refused, “I don’t need them anyway!”

“You’re the most precious thing to me.” Fu Chengyan shook his head and said, “Your grandfather was right about the importance of assets. I can’t mistreat you now that we’re married.”

“But what my grandfather gave me…”

Fu Chengyan stopped her, “I’ll ask Zhou Zheng to prepare a new agreement tomorrow. It’s not just your grandfather who offered you a token of his sincerity – there’s me too.” This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Shi Nuan couldn’t hide her laugh, “Fine then. I shall not refuse your goodwill.” At that moment, she was happy.

She didn’t want the shares, but she’d accept them if those were their means to protect her. “Why do you treat me so well, Fu Chengyan?”

Fu Chengyan lifted his eyebrow with a smile. “Because you’re worth it!”

Shi Nuan hugged Fu Chengyan initiatively for the first time. The man stiffened for a while and hugged her in return happily.

Her fuzzy head nuzzled his chest, which tickled his heart. “You have to treat me well forever now that you did it, Fu Chengyan.”

She pressed her head onto his heart, “I’ve been hurt emotionally once, and I can’t be hurt a second time. I won’t forgive you if you break my heart.”

“I won’t!” He took her hand and placed it by his lips, “Never in this life will I hurt you.”

Shi Nuan smiled at his reply. She stroked his chin and tiptoed to kiss him.

Fu Chengyan was stimulated with her inexperienced kiss, but he let her continue.

This was her first time taking the initiative in their relationship. He would be happy for whatever she did to him as long as she was willing to do so.

Shi Nuan kissed him for a very long time and felt dejected from his passive reaction. She wrapped her arms around Fu Chengyan’s neck and stared into his dark but shiny eyes, biting his lips. “Shouldn’t you reward me for my effort?”
