I Want A Lifetime With You

Chapter 10

Shi Nuan didn’t sleep well throughout the night. When she saw how pale she looked, and how bloodshot her eyes were, she hurriedly splashed some water on her face. After noticing some color returning, she held the counter and looked at her reflection sadly.

“Wake up, Shi Nuan. You can get over this.” Shi Nuan started giving herself her pep talk to cheer herself up.

She carefully applied some makeup on her delicate features. She didn’t stop until she was satisfied that her lethargy was all covered up. When she saw her grandfather calling her again, she frowned, but still quickly picked it up. “Hey, grandpa. Do you need anything?”

“I asked you to come back today. I hope you haven’t forgotten about it.” Jiang Shizheng said. Even though he was an elderly man, his voice sounded as it did when he was young. That was thanks to him being a lecturer all these years.

Shi Nuan was stunned to hear him saying that. “Grandpa, I… Oh, fine. I’ll come back, alright?” Shi Nuan looked at the phone in frustration. A while later, she sighed and left her home with her handbag in hand.

Shi Nuan was planning to go to work, but after what had happened over the last two days, she changed her mind. Shi Nuan went to the nearest supermarket to purchase something, then she went to her grandfather’s home.

It had been a year since Shi Nuan left Jiang City. She had been working all this time and never came back, but she would occasionally talk to her grandfather on the phone. Shi Nuan was still worried when she arrived at the doorstep.

She stood there until Aunt Fei, the housekeeper, came to open the door. “You’re back, little young miss. Why are you standing there? Come in.” Aunt Fei ushered her in, and she smiled. “The master has a

guest today.”

“A guest?” Shi Nuan asked. “What guest? I thought he said—” Before she could finish, her grandfather said, “It has been a long time since you visited me, Yan. Have you been busy lately?”

Shi Nuan was holding something in her hand, so Aunt Fei wanted to take it from her. When Shi Nuan looked up, she saw a man sitting in the living room. His back was facing her. However, that man looked familiar, so that puzzled her.

“Nuan is here?” Jiang Shizheng smiled at Shi Nuan, but when he saw her gift, his face fell. “You shouldn’t have brought these things here. I have everything I need.” Even so, Jiang Shizheng had Aunt Fei take it away. “Come here. I want to take a look at you.” Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Shi Nuan handed the gift to Aunt Fei and changed into slippers before going inside. “It’s been so long, grandpa. I miss you so much.” Shi Nuan hugged Jiang Shizheng’s arm like a child and swung it. “Did you miss me too, grandpa?”

“My foot.” He smacked her head. “Pull yourself together. I have a guest here.” Jiang Shizheng then lead Shi Nuan over. “Let me introduce you to her, Yan. She’s my granddaughter, Shi Nuan. Nuan, this is my student, Fu Chengyan.”

Shi Nuan’s surprised gaze gave her away as she blurted, “Why are you here?”

Fu Chengyan turned around, looking handsome as usual. He looked at Shi Nuan meaningfully. “Hello, Ms. Shi.”

Jiang Shizheng arched his eyebrow, then he looked at them skeptically. “You know each other?”

Shi Nuan panicked when she noticed how Jiang Shizheng was looking at them, so she quickly said, “We met this once. He helped me when I got into trouble, didn’t you, Mr. Fu?”

Shi Nuan kept hinting him with her eyes to watch his words. Fu Chengyan smiled and ignored her threat calmly. “We did meet, sir. But with how energetic she looks right now, I think she must have gotten over it, no?”

Shi Nuan gnashed her teeth and squinted at him angrily. This f*cking guy!
