I Want A Lifetime With You

Chapter 81

Su Shaoqing arrived at the Wutong Residence once more, not expecting it to be about Shi Nuan again.

Seeing the woman lying on the bed with the man carefully watching over her, Su Shaoqing’s eyes lit up and he couldn’t help but click his tongue. “Seriously, Chengyan, stop calling me over for such things.”

Su Shaoqing threw his hands up, looking incredibly frustrated. “You always have the worst timing too! I’d just finished a surgery and was about to rest.”

“Isn’t that perfect then? I can give you some things to do. Hurry up and take a look at May.” It was rare for Fu Chengyan to not bicker with Su Shaoqing. Instead, he just looked at him sternly.

Su Shaoqing glanced at Fu Chengyan solemnly and shook his head. “I’ll take a look then! But honestly, getting any other doctor would be better than me. I’m…”

“Enough nonsense!” Fu Chengyan said impatiently. “Treat your patient!”

Su Shaoqing pouted his lips and flipped a corner of the blanket. He was slightly shocked to see the wound on Shi Nuan’s hand. “Who did this?”

Fu Chengyan’s eyes merely darkened as he remained silent. Su Shaoqing understood what he meant. “This guy is pretty smart. He knows how to alleviate her symptoms through bloodletting, and the drug she’s under isn’t too strong!” Su Shaoqing said as he put Shi Nuan hand down. “There isn’t much of a problem anymore.”

“But she’s been unconscious all this while!” Fu Chengyan was agitated. “Take a look and see if there’s anything else wrong with her!”

“Seriously, Chengyan… I’m a doctor, not a god. She could be unconscious because she’s tired.” Su Shaoqing looked at Fu Chengyan as though he was looking at an idiot. “Don’t worry. The lady was

rendered unconscious, so she’s sleeping now.” Su Shaoqing noted that Shi Nuan was just under the influence of a sleeping drug. It wasn’t a particularly serious illness.

“Is there no need for medication?” Fu Chengyan still felt uneasy.

“Every medicine has its side effects. Besides, there’s nothing wrong with the lady, so she just needs some rest,” Su Shaoqing said and paused for a moment. “But this is the first time I’ve seen you look this nervous, Chengyan!”

“Do you want to die?” Fu Chengyan glared at Su Shaoqing with narrowed eyes and pursed lips. But Su Shaoqing merely laughed. He wasn’t afraid of Fu Chengyan’s behavior. “I’ll still prescribe her some anti-anxiety pills. Be sure to let her rest more. If she wakes up tomorrow and you’re still worried, you should take her to the hospital for a check-up, find out the contents of the sleeping drug and ask about its side effects.”

“Mr. Fu!” Zhou Zheng knocked on the door and stood at the entrance. “The person who kidnapped the madam has been captured.”

Fu Chengyan and Su Shaoqing exchanged glances before they both walked out of the room.

“To the study room!” Fu Chengyan said after carefully closing the door behind them.

Zhou Zheng followed Fu Chengyan into the study room. “Mr. Li’s men have captured the one responsible for kidnapping the madam. They’re not just regular thugs and we still don’t know who the person in charge is. Liang Lin is currently interrogating him.”

“You’ve even involved Li Heng?” Su Shaoqing asked as he leaned against the door, looking at Fu Chengyan with interest.

Fu Chengyan frowned. “Why haven’t you left?”

Su Shaoqing twitched his lips. “It’s not like I can get any rest at this point anyway, so naturally I’d want to join in the fun.” His charming eyes were filled with amusement. The man smiled at Zhou Zheng, causing the latter to look nervous.

“These guys sure have some guts to do such things to your woman!” Su Shaoqing clicked his tongue. “What do you plan to do?”

Fu Chengyan rolled his eyes at Su Shaoqing before turning to Zhou Zheng. “Have Liang Lin find out who exactly is behind this. Use special methods if necessary.”

“Yes sir,” Zhou Zheng nodded. He could tell that Fu Chengyan was truly furious this time.

Su Shaoqing raised his brow. “Where is Liang Lin? I want to have some fun with him!”

Fu Chengyan looked at Zhou Zheng. The latter felt resigned, but it was Su Shaoqing, so he had no choice but to respond. “The usual place!”

The ‘usual place’ Zhou Zheng spoke of was the largest trade market in Jiang City: the underground. There were many rumors about the place. It wasn’t just for those who sought fun and pleasure. It was also a place for those who couldn’t tell between right or wrong. This place practically hell on earth.

Su Shaoqing’s gaze subconsciously fell on Fu Chengyan, but he didn’t expect the second master to be so serious this time. Staring meaningfully at Fu Chengyan, he said, “I’ll go take a look. You’ll get results within a day.”

Fu Chengyan knocked on his desk after Su Shaoqing left. “Have Liang Lin work with Shaoqing!” He ordered.

“Yes sir!” Zhou Zheng’s mouth twitched involuntarily. Seeing the smug look on his boss’ face, Zhou Zheng understood that Fu Chengyan was playing along with Su Shaoqing and letting him voluntarily

investigate this matter. “Sir, regarding Shi Wei…”

Zhou Zheng handed over as much information as possible to Fu Chengyan. “These are the things Shi Wei had done all these years in the entertainment industry. There’s no denying that this woman really has lots of tricks up her sleeves; otherwise, with her qualifications and abilities, she couldn’t have made it this far,” he said and paused for a brief moment. “All these years, apart from being unkind to the madam, she’s also secretly done many things in the entertainment sector.”

Fu Chengyan raised a hand to stop Zhou Zheng. “For the moment, don’t release everything yet. Expose them one by one. It’s more fun this way!” He said as he took out two pieces of paper from the huge pile of information and gave them a quick once-over. “We’ll go with this!”

Zhou Zheng took the papers over and his eyes gleamed. “I’ll get it done right away!”

“Wait,” Fu Chengyan called out. “Send it to the tabloids.”

“Yes, Mr. Fu!”

After Zhou Zheng left, Fu Chengyan kept himself busy in the study room and only returned to the bedroom after midnight.

Shi Nuan was sleeping soundly by this time, with her guard completely down. The incident earlier had been unfortunate, but Fu Chengyan was secretly grateful that he could see such a pure side of her.

Fu Chengyan walked into the bathroom to take a shower, then came back out in nothing but a white bathrobe. His squinted his alluring eyes as he stood by the bedside to observe Shi Nuan’s face. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

He dimmed the lights. Shi Nuan breathed steadily in the darkened room and looked especially innocent.

Fu Chengyan walked over and sat by the window while stroking Shi Nuan’s cheeks. Meanwhile, in her dreams, Shi Nuan felt a warm pair of hands holding her. She smacked her lips in satisfaction and reached out to grab Fu Chengyan’s hand.

Fu Chengyan raised an eyebrow. Seeing Shi Nuan’s unconscious movement, a rare look of warmth appeared on his face. He took off his bedroom slippers and leaned towards, causing the bed to sink slightly. It was as though Shi Nuan knew Fu Chengyan was near. She moved slightly to make room for him.

Fu Chengyan was elated when he noticed her actions. He smiled and let his slender fingers rest on Shi Nuan’s chin. Tilting her chin, he leaned over and planted a light kiss on her lips.

Shi Nuan felt like she was walking on clouds. It felt like a dream. Inside the dream, a man held her hand as they strolled aimlessly. Eventually, they became tired, so they lay on the grass to rest. As she closed her eyes, the man leaned over to kiss her on the lips.

Shi Nuan smiled from the sweet dream. She wanted more, so she stretched her hands out. Just as Fu Chengyan was about to let go of her, she wrapped her arms around Fu Chengyan’s neck, practically hanging onto him.

Fu Chengyan’s gaze darkened. He placed a hand on the bed to support himself and hovered over Shi Nuan to get a closer look. It was as though Shi Nuan had encountered something that brought her unbridled joy. She smiled and clung him. “Fu Chengyan!”

Her voice was soft, but he still heard her.

Fu Chengyan’s eyes sparkled in the dark. The next moment, he lowered his head to kiss her once more. But this time, it wasn’t just a light peck.

For his entire life, he would do anything to get whatever he wanted, even if he had to resort to extreme measures. The only exception was Shi Nuan. He was always patient when it came to her.

It wasn’t that he had never felt agitated because of her. Shi Nuan was hesitant and cautious when it came to love, especially after she had been betrayed. He could understand her wariness but at the same time, he hoped that she could accept him.

Thankfully, all the wait was worth it. Even if there was no love between them, he was still happy.

Fu Chengyan deepened the kiss on Shi Nuan’s inviting lips. His tongue traced the outline of the woman’s lips.

Shi Nuan could feel the man’s passion even in her dreams. She couldn’t quite contain the boiling enthusiasm inside her chest. With her hands on Fu Chengyan’s shoulders, she tried her best to open her eyes but couldn’t.

Shi Nuan had a constant smile on her face, as though she was in a very sweet dream.

After a long time, a satisfied Fu Chengyan finally let go of the woman in slumber. He watched Shi Nuan’s breath deepen and then turned to look at his lower body in frustration. “That vixen!” He muttered under his breath as shut his eyes.

Fu Chengyan lifted the blanket to get out of bed, but it was as though Shi Nuan knew what he was about to do. She clung to his hand and mumbled, “Don’t go!”

Fu Chengyan’s heart softened at once. “OK, I won’t go!” He reached out to pat the back of Shi Nuan’s hand and held it gently. “I won’t go. I’ll stay right here with you!”

Hearing Fu Chengyan’s promise, a soft smile blossomed on Shi Nuan’s face and she fell asleep once more.

Shi Nuan was contented, but Fu Chengyan was being tormented by his own lustful thoughts. No man could endure such torture. The woman in front of him was legally his wife, yet he could do nothing but suppress his desires. He told himself repeatedly that now was not the time. He couldn’t do such things to Shi Nuan yet.

What Fu Chengyan had always wanted was her consent. Even if they were husband and wife, he didn’t want her to do anything out of obligation. He wanted everything to happen naturally between them, guided by the primal instincts that bring together a man and a woman.

“Sleep. I’ll remain by your side!”
