I Want A Lifetime With You

Chapter 113

The landlord acted swiftly. Soon after, the police arrived and were greeted by a drunk Fu Xicheng. They immediately brought him away.

Although Fu Xicheng was terribly drunk, he was still clear-headed. He seemed to have regained his senses when he saw the two police officers. “I’m here for my girlfriend. What are you doing? Let go!”

“Girlfriend? You’re drunk and causing a fuss. They said you kept loitering around recently. Well, you seem familiar. Didn’t you get arrested last time too?”

One of the police officers took a look at him and seemed to recall a previous incident. The other officer glanced at him too. “Yeah, it’s definitely you. Come on. You’re causing a nuisance to the public in the middle of the night.”

The police took Fu Xicheng away, but the man refused to give up and continued yelling Shi Nuan’s name. “Shi Nuan, come out! Tell them I’m your boyfriend! Shi Nuan!”

A moment later, Fu Xicheng was brought to the police station. He remained there for two hours before he woke up from a drunken stupor. When the police officer saw that he was finally sober, he told Fu Xicheng, “Sir, someone reported you for causing a nuisance to the public. Do you still remember what you did?”

Fu Xicheng seemed upset at that moment. “Did she call the police? I didn’t cause any nuisance to the public. You can call her to verify that! I really am her boyfriend!”

“Fine, call her now.” The police officer shot Fu Xicheng a look and said, “Go on, ask her to come and bail you out.”

However, Fu Xicheng’s face fell that instant. He took out his phone and hesitated for a while before asking, “Can I use your phone?”

The police officer eyed him in suspicion, which led Fu Xicheng into a sheepish grin as he ran his fingers through his messy hair. “My phone ran out of battery.”

With that, the police officer handed the phone over to him, and Fu Xicheng dialed Shi Nuan’s number at once.

Meanwhile, Shi Nuan had just finished an intense lovemaking session as she lay on top of Fu Chengyan, spent from the intimacy. Fu Chengyan’s hand reached out to tousle her hair. He was about to pull her up when her phone started ringing again.

He narrowed his eyes at the unknown number before lowering his head to look at Shi Nuan. “Who is it?” Shi Nuan asked.

“An unknown number. Are you tired?” Fu Chengyan kissed the corner of her lips. “Rest for a while, and I’ll bring you to the bathroom to take a shower later.”

That seems nice. Shi Nuan closed her eyes in exhaustion and nodded.

In the meantime, Fu Chengyan had decided to answer the call. Right that instant, Fu Xicheng’s voice rang out from the phone. “Shi Nuan, you’re finally answering. Do you have to do this? Why won’t you let me in? It was just an argument. And you even called the police? Nuan…”

Fu Chengyan’s eyes narrowed as he glanced at Shi Nuan, who had drifted off a while ago. He put her down gently and was about to walk out when Shi Nuan grabbed his hand. “Where are you going?”

When Shi Nuan spoke, her voice sounded nasal, so it was apparent she was still half asleep. Fu Chengyan chuckled and caressed her forehead gently. “Go back to sleep. I won’t be going anywhere.”

At the other end of the call, Fu Xicheng overheard the gentle male voice and Shi Nuan’s mumble. “Who are you? Why are you with Nuan?” He clutched the phone furiously and demanded, “Who are you?”

But Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes and hung up the call.

Fu Xicheng, whose call had just been dropped by that unknown person, was red with rage. He fumed and glared at the phone as if he was going to burn a hole through it. He tried to dial the number again, but this time, no one picked up.

The police officer in front of him sensed something was wrong, so he asked, “Hey, you wouldn’t have mistaken, would you?”

“Mistaken? Nuan is my girlfriend!” Fu Xicheng retorted. He was about to call her again, but the police officer took the phone back and mocked, “Well, aren’t you something! Who would call the cops on their own boyfriend, saying that they’re a nuisance? I don’t think she’s your girlfriend. Or have you guys broken up? Come on, I’ve seen plenty of cases like these. Why else would a grown man like you end up at a girl’s house in the middle of the night?”

“We didn’t break up. It was only a misunderstanding. Sir, please lend me your phone and let me call her again!”

The police officer had had it this time, so he snapped back at him, “I’ll lend you the phone, but I don’t think you should call your girlfriend. Why don’t you just call your parents?”

Fu Xicheng took the phone but dialed Shi Nuan’s number yet again. After ringing twice, someone answered, “Hello?” It was Shi Nuan. “Who are you?”

“It’s me, Nuan!” Fu Xicheng said as he held back his displeasure. “Who was the man who had picked up earlier?”

Shi Nuan narrowed her eyes. She glanced at the phone number before turning her gaze to the bathroom. Snapping out of her daze, she demanded, “Fu Xicheng, are you crazy? Why did you change phone numbers to call me in the wee hours of the night?”

“Shi Nuan, who was the man who answered your phone? How dare you call the police to report me for causing a nuisance to the public? Shi Nuan, we…”

“Enough. Why don’t you just zip it? Are you sleep-talking? When did I call the police? Besides, the one who answered my phone is my man. What does that have to do with you?” Shi Nuan hung up impatiently and went back to bed, but her phone kept ringing nonstop. Shi Nuan’s fury heightened as she answered the call and roared, “Fu Xicheng, why won’t you stop bothering me? Since you chose to be with my sister, you should know that we would never end up together, ever again. Don’t you have something better to do? You just don’t get it, do you? I’ve made a clean break with you, so stop calling me!”

“Miss.” A gentle voice rang out from the phone. “I’m a police officer from Yu’an Police Station. May I know how Mr. Fu is related to you?”

The unfamiliar voice on the other end took Shi Nuan by surprise. She glanced at the number before regaining her senses and toned down, “Oh! Hello, sir. He’s my sister’s fiancé. You can call my sister directly if you’d like.”

Clearly, her statement shocked the police officer, who was still on the phone call. He paused for a while and glanced at Fu Xicheng before smiling in reply. “Okay, thank you. It’s not a serious matter, anyway. Someone called the police to report him for causing a nuisance to the public, so we brought Mr. Fu back to the police station to assist with our investigation.”

Shi Nuan bit her lips and listened to the police officer’s explanation. When she spotted Fu Chengyan coming out of the bathroom, she got up from the bed. Fu Chengyan came over and propped one hand on the bed. “It’s late. Who’s on the phone?”

“A police officer from Yu’an Police Station. It’s nothing serious.” Shi Nuan reached out to tousle his hair. “Dry your hair now so you can sleep better.” She told the police officer, “My husband and I are about to

go to bed. Sir, is that okay?”

“Alright, then I should stop bothering you. Good night, Ms. Shi.”

The police officer hung up and glared at Fu Xicheng. “Mr. Fu, from what I’ve heard, Ms. Shi isn’t your girlfriend, but your fiancée’s sister! How dare you mess around with your sister-in-law? Besides, she’s already married!”

“Married? Impossible!” Fu Xicheng was jolted from his chair by the news. “This is impossible. Nuan… She hates me, but she won’t marry another man just to spite me! She still loves me, so…”

“Enough. Don’t waste my time telling me about your messy past relationships. Ms. Shi told me that she had made a clean break with you. So stop disturbing her as it’s past midnight. I think you should call your parents or fiancée to come to pick you up.”

Fu Xicheng sank into the chair in despair. It took him a while before he picked up the phone to dial his mother’s number.

When Liu Minjun and Fu Yuqing had arrived, Fu Xicheng was still sitting on the bench at the police station with a dazed expression on his face. Liu Minjun ran over as soon as she spotted Fu Xicheng, who was staring blankly into space. She sounded terribly anxious. “Cheng! Cheng, are you okay? Please don’t scare me!”

“Mom.” Fu Xicheng raised his head and stared at Liu Minjun numbly. “Mom, she doesn’t want me anymore. She really doesn’t want me anymore.”

“Bastard!” Fu Yuqing raised his hand and landed his palm heavily on Fu Xicheng’s cheeks. “Useless piece of trash! Why are you upset over a woman? Are you happy now that we’re all here at the police station?”

The old man gave his son another forceful slap that made Liu Minjun gasped out in horror. She stood in front of Fu Xicheng to stop Fu Yuqing from hitting her son again. “That’s enough! Our son is already a grown man. Do you have to do this?”

“If I don’t, he’ll never learn a lesson.” Fu Yuqing clenched his teeth. “If the Shi family finds out about this, how will he resolve the situation?”

“Ha!” Fu Xicheng sneered, “Resolve the situation? I’ll just break up the engagement with Shi Wei. I didn’t even plan this…”

“Bastard!” Fu Yuqing was about to hit Fu Xicheng again, but the police officer stopped him. “If you want to discipline your son, go home. You can’t do whatever you want here. You should know that it’s an offense if you assault someone in the police station.”

“Well, sir… My husband couldn’t control his anger.” Liu Minjun tugged at Fu Yuqing’s hand. “What about my son?”

“It’s nothing much. Just take him back and teach him well. Don’t let him disturb others past midnight. This is ridiculous.”

“Yes, yes. We’ll teach him a lesson back home!” Liu Minjun hurriedly agreed. “I’ll make sure of that!”

When the three of them got into the car, Fu Yuqing couldn’t help but gave Fu Xicheng a huge slap again. “You went to her house? Are you serious? I warn you, you’ll be marrying Shi Wei, and that’s final! If you break off your engagement, I’ll disown you!”

“Dad, you…” Fu Xicheng trailed off in anger as he balled up his fists. “Why are you forcing me? Everyone is forcing me.”

Just then, his mind flashed back to the earlier scene when Shi Nuan had said she had another man and even told the police that she was married. His blood boiled with rage at that mere thought. “Shi Nuan is the woman I want to marry.” Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

“You’re a man. How could you act this way just for love? Do you think you’re capable enough?” Fu Yuqing was clear-headed. Between love, money, and power, he’d choose power without hesitation. “When you take over the Shi family and Huancheng, women will flock to you!”
