I Want A Lifetime With You

Chapter 138

Zhou Zheng brought Shi Nuan into the room and introduced her. “Mr. Lin, this is Ms. Shi who is here for the interview.”

Shi Nuan nodded at Lin Yu and said, “Good morning, Mr. Lin, I am Shi Nuan.”

She looked very gracious with no trace of fear.

Lin Yu merely glanced at Shi Nuan briefly before looking at Zhou Zheng. Understanding his intention immediately, Zhou Zheng said, “I still have work to do upstairs. I’ll leave you to this, Mr. Lin.”

After Zhou Zheng left, Lin Yu finally looked at Shi Nuan properly and gestured for her to sit down.

He took out her resume from his drawer. Zhou Zheng had passed the resume to him just last night, saying that he wanted to introduce a person for the job. Lin Yu had always been a fair and just person, so he would never let anyone sneak in through the backdoor.

Even though he had not known Zhou Zheng for long, he still had a good grasp of his character. For him to be Fu Chengyan’s right-hand man all these years, he must be very capable, and would definitely not do something unfair.

Lin Yu hadn’t been particularly interested in meeting this Shi Nuan. However, when Zhou Zheng handed him her resume, he said that he would definitely regret not meeting her, which piqued his interest.

Lin Yu scrutinized her resume to find that she was not really outstanding with just decent working experience. However, considering that Shi Nuan was able to take down that project, he felt that she must be rather capable.

Shi Nuan remained calm and confident as Lin Yu sized her up. This was something that he appreciated. “Ms. Shi?”

“Yes, I am Shi Nuan!” She nodded.

Lin Yu nodded as well while he put her resume aside. “Now, I’ve read your resume, Ms. Shi. To be honest, your working experience is rather average, but I am quite curious about one of your previous projects. Could we have a chat about it?”

Zhou Zheng headed straight to Fu Chengyan’s office the moment he left the projects department. “Master Chengyan, I’ve brought Mrs. Fu over to the projects department. I believe that Lin Yu is interviewing her right now.”

Fu Chengyan merely glanced at Zhou Zheng and his hands never stopped working. Finally, he put his pen down after flipping through the documents and frowned slightly. “You don’t have to worry about her anymore. However, I’d like you to explain this document to me. Why is there an increase in the orders to Fucheng last month? Whose idea was it?”

“Th….that’s Old Master’s intention!” Zhou Zheng said with a slight perspiration growing. “Some time ago, Fu Yuqing was looking for Old Master. I’d only found out about this not too long ago. My guess is that Old Master is hiding this from us….”

Fu Chengyan sniggered and closed the file. “So, it seems like this Fu Yuqing has completely disregarded my existence, hasn’t he?” He said while standing up suddenly. “Get An Chenyu to come here.”

“Master Chengyan, why do you want to look for An Chenyu?” Zhou Zheng was baffled as he did not understand what Fu Chengyan was trying to do.

However, when he felt Fu Chengyan’s keen glare on him, he immediately said, “I’ll call An Chenyu right now.”

When An Chenyu picked up Zhou Zheng’s call, he felt very suspicious. Didn’t Fu Chengyan already agree to let the An family go? Why is he looking for me again?

An Chenyu was resting at home when he saw Anna coming down the stairs. He called after her. “I heard from Ma that you met Shi Nuan yesterday?”

Anna felt her chest tighten. “Yes, what’s up?”

“Didn’t I tell you to not offend her again?” An Chenyu massaged his temples. “Are you ignoring me now?”

“No,” Anna explained immediately. “I didn’t do anything to Shi Nuan. Yes, I was wrong the last time. When I ran into her, I talked to her about this, and she said to let this go.” Anna bit her lips as she gripped onto the staircase railings. “Don’t tell me that something has happened! I really didn’t do anything to Shi Nuan!”

“All right, I know.” An Chenyu waved his hands. “I need to get something done, so if Pa and Ma ask, just tell them I am out for a meeting.” An Chenyu got changed before dashing to Shengyuan Group’s headquarters.

On her end, Shi Nuan had been able to answer every single one of Lin Yu’s questions. Finally, he told her to go home and wait for the news. He did not ask anything about her background.

The moment Shi Nuan left Lin Yu’s office, her phone rang with a call from Fu Chengyan. Shi Nuan looked left and right before picking up the call cautiously. “What’s up?”

“Are you done with the interview?” Fu Chengyan’s clear voice had a hint of a smile too. “Hmm?”

“Yea, I’ve just finished the interview. Are you spying on me?” How else would he call the moment she left the room?

Fu Chengyan chuckled, “Come up since your interview is over!”

“No!” Shi Nuan rejected him immediately. “I’m heading back.”

“Come on, there is nothing for you to do at home anyway. Just come up!” Fu Chengyan persuaded her softly. “Just come, I have something exciting to show you!”

Thinking that it’s true that she didn’t have much to do at home, Shi Nuan headed to Fu Chengyan’s office after hanging up the call. As she was worried about being spotted, she took the lift to Fu Chengyan’s private basement carpark before taking another lift up to the office.

Zhou Zheng had been waiting at the lift entrance for a long time before Shi Nuan arrived. He went up to her quickly and asked, “Mrs. Fu, what took you so long?”

“You have been waiting for me?” Shi Nuan stared at Zhou Zheng suspiciously before feeling rather sorry. “I was worried about being spotted, so I took a longer route and nearly got lost along the way!” Shi Nuan said, before continuing, “Don’t call me Mrs. Fu, just call me Shi Nuan!”

“Yes, yes, yes.”

Zhou Zheng brought Shi Nuan to Fu Chengyan’s office door. He knocked and pushed the door open when he heard the permission to go in, respectfully inviting Shi Nuan into the office first.

This was the very first time Shi Nuan had come to Fu Chengyan’s office. It was decorated in a classy, minimalist style. Shi Nuan pushed the door open to find Fu Chengyan busy at work. She then tiptoed into the room before closing the door again.

However, Fu Chengyan had already lifted his eyes and was waving at her, “Come here!”

Shi Nuan raised her eyebrows. “No, just focus on your work. I’ll make myself at home!”

She scanned the office and continued to ignore him. Instead, she took a leisurely walk around the office, sizing up the place from corner to corner.

Fu Chengyan could not help but shake his head at Shi Nuan’s actions, but since he was really busy, he continued working.

Soon, Shi Nuan completed her office tour, but she could not bring herself to disturb Fu Chengyan who was still working earnestly. She then sat at a corner and began to flip through a magazine.

However, she became bored after a while. Then, she tucked her hands under her chin and just stared at Fu Chengyan who was still occupied with work.

She had always known that he was so handsome that it was impossible for one to take their eyes off him. She had seen him work from home before, but he looked a lot warmer and casual. At the office, he had to put on a more serious demeanor.

As the sun rays shone through the window and surrounded Fu Chengyan, he looked a little more serious.

Shi Nuan was completely stunned by this sight of him. If not for a knock on the office door, Shi Nuan knew that she would have continued to indulge in this dreamy sight.

Fu Chengyan lifted his eyes to meet Shi Nuan’s adoring eyes. His lips curled up a little as he waved to her. “Go and open the door!”

Shi Nuan collected her senses and said, “That is not too appropriate, right?” Apart from Zhou Zheng, she did not know anyone from Shengyuan. Moreover, not anyone could enter Fu Chengyan’s office. If others saw her in his office, there would be a lot of chatter and speculation again.

To Fu Chengyan, all these considerations were completely unnecessary. “What’s so inappropriate about it? Just go and open the door!”

Shi Nuan then pushed away her worries and went to open the door. She then met a bespectacled woman dressed in modest business wear. “Good morning!”

She was a little surprised to see Shi Nuan, but she was so well-mannered she immediately regained her composure and nodded to Shi Nuan, “I am CEO Fu’s secretary, Mai Qi.”

Shi Nuan cleared a path for her, saying, “Please come in.”

Mai Qi then smiled at Shi Nuan, saying, “CEO Fu, An Chenyu from the An Group is here.”

“Alright, bring him in!”

Fu Chengyan’s cold voice rose behind Shi Nuan. Mai Qi then immediately left the room. Shi Nuan turned to look at him. “An Chenyu? You mean, Anna’s brother?” Shi Nuan bit her lips. “Should I excuse myself?”

“That’s not necessary.” Fu Chengyan waved at her. “Come here!”

Shi Nuan walked over to him just as he got up to hold her hand. He then led her to the lounge. She thought of resisting him but there was no way he was loosening his grip. Shi Nuan said helplessly, “What are you trying to do? Why did you get An Chenyu to come here? Also, I’ve already forgiven Anna for all those things between us, so I don’t think you’d need to…”

There was another knock on the office door. Fu Chengyan smiled and said, “Come in!”

Mai Qi pushed the door open and said, “Please come in, Mr. An. CEO Fu is inside!”

An Chenyu nodded. He did not see Fu Chengyan until Fu Chengyan stood up. It was only then when An Chenyu looked at him baffledly, together with the woman whose hand he was holding.

“CEO Fu!”

Fu Chengyan nodded and looked towards the doorway. “Two cups of tea and a glass of lime juice.”

“Yes, sir.” After Mai Qi left, Fu Chengyan invited An Chenyu to take a seat.

Even though An Chenyu looked very calm on the surface, his heart was actually thumping madly inside. He did not know who Shi Nuan was, but he would have guessed that she was no ordinary person, given that she was not only by Fu Chengyan’s side, but he was holding her hand firmly.

Fu Chengyan glanced at An Chenyu before saying, “This is my wife, Shi Nuan.” This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Apart from him, both Shi Nuan and An Chenyu looked confused. Shi Nuan glared at Fu Chengyan, but he merely patted her hand calmly, indicating that she should not be agitated.

On the other hand, An Chenyu’s mind went into overdrive after being in shock. Before this, he had thought that this woman was Fu Chengyan’s girlfriend or lover, so it was actually understandable why Fu Chengyan would punish Anna for offending her. However, now that he found out that Shi Nuan was actually his wife, Fu Chengyan definitely had a good reason for his fury then.

“Good morning, Mrs. Fu!”

“Good morning, Mr. An!”
