I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 381
Chapter 381
“Yes. It seems to be the case. Yu is definitely a descendant of the Fu clan.” A look of displeasure crossed Fu Chengyan’s face as he thought about the test results. Since Yu is not my son, there are only a few possibilities of who his father can be. After all, the few direct descendants of the Fu clan consist of my grandpa, my uncle, my father and I. It can’t be Uncle Heng, so it may be my father. If that’s the case, I really don’t know what to do.
Fu Chengyan massaged his temples as he felt the beginning of a headache creeping along the base of his neck. Looking at the troubled look on his face, Shi Nuan felt worried as she realized that this matter concerned the entire Fu clan. “You…”
“I’m alright!” Fu Chengyan shook his head. “There is a reason why I didn’t want to tell you the truth. I have yet to find out the answers to everything.”
Shi Nuan understood Fu Chengyan well enough to know that he was not his usual self despite his nonchalant tone and calm manner. She pursed her lips together. “Stop explaining then. I don’t want to know everything for now.”
“But you have mistaken my relationship with Shen Qianan,” Fu Chengyan protested in a helpless and aggrieved tone. Shocked by the unusual child-like aggrievement in his eyes, Shi Nuan was dumbfounded and could not react for a second.
“Why aren’t you replying to me?” Fu Chengyan decided to push his luck by leaning closer to Shi Nuan and holding her hands in his. He felt that he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
The past few days had caused Fu Chengyan to feel so insecure and miserable that he was willing to do all sorts of absurd acts to win her back.
Shi Nuan could not help but tremble as Fu Chengyan took her hands in his. I haven’t felt this way for a long time. Initially, I thought that I won’t be able to accept Fu Chengyan’s explanation. But now that I
come to think of it, it’s pretty acceptable.
“Um… I don’t blame you since you have made yourself clear. It’s just that… I still feel terrible!” Shi Nuan sighed deeply as she struggled to withdraw her hands from his grip. “Let go of me first!”
Fu Chengyan looked at her, determined not to let her go. Finally, Shi Nuan gave up. “Why is Shen Qianan pestering you if you have nothing to do with her?”
Fu Chengyan curled his lips. “I want to know the reason too. Whatever it is, it is not because she likes me.”
“Why are you so sure?” Shi Nuan asked in a suspicious tone. I’ve seen how Shen Qianan treats Fu Chengyan. She behaves as if she is his ex-lover! It is clear that she wants to be together with him!
“I’m not sure. But I understand her character very well. She used to cling to me, but ever since she disappeared for a month three years ago, she had been very cold to me and even left me for another man. What’s more, she got pregnant afterwards.”
“Maybe she fell in love with another man at that time? And that child is theirs?” Shi Nuan finally understood Shen Qianan’s motive for returning now. “So it is not because of you that she has returned with Yu. Aside from your grandpa wanting her to destroy our relationship, she has come back for the kid’s father!”
Fu Chengyan smiled. A mixture of approval and humor flashed across his eyes. “So you have been tolerating Shen Qianan, not only because she saved your life before, but also because of Yu’s father?”
“Yes!” Fu Chengyan nodded. “His father is definitely a member of the Fu clan, although I don’t know who he is yet.”
“But the Fu clan members…” There are only you, your grandpa, your father and your uncle. All of you don’t seem to have anything to do with Shen Qianan.
Reading her mind, Fu Chengyan replied, “Actually, aside from my father and Uncle Heng, there is one more Fu clan member in their generation.”
“Who’s that?” Shi Nuan was astounded. “Why haven’t I heard about him before?”
“Even my memory of this person is vague, much less you. I have only thought about this person because it’s impossible that Yu’s father is my father or Uncle Heng.”
“Who is he?”
“Someone who has been forgotten long ago.” Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes at the memory of the mysterious Fu clan member. Suddenly, the car pulled to a stop, and the privacy screen was rolled down. Zhou Zheng announced respectfully, “Mr. Fu, we have arrived at Wutong Residence.”
As he looked into the rear mirror while making the announcement, his eyes darted to Fu Chengyan’s hands which were holding Shi Nuan’s hands tightly. He lifted a brow at the sight. No wonder he is my boss. He has managed to coax her within such a short period of time.
Suddenly, he felt Fu Chengyan’s glare on him like the heat of the blistering sun. Thus, he immediately turned his gaze away and went out to open the car door. “Mr. Fu.”
Fu Chengyan cast a glance at Zhou Zheng. As he got off the car while holding Shi Nuan’s hand, he ordered, “Go and investigate this person for me!” He took out a slip of paper from his pocket, wrote someone’s name on it before passing the paper to Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng took it with suspicion, and his eyes widened in shock as he read the name on it. “Mr. Fu, are you sure?”
“Hurry up and get it done!”
“Yes!”
After Zhou Zheng drove off, Shi Nuan turned to look at Fu Chengyan and asked solemnly, “Who have you asked Zhou Zheng to investigate?”
“Maybe this person is still alive. I can’t think of anyone else but him.” Fu Chengyan frowned at the thought. “We’ll not talk about him for now. Let’s go home!”
It felt like they had not returned home for ages.
Shi Nuan was tempted upon hearing Fu Chengyan’s words and was filled with an inexplicable feeling. Home.
For the past few days since she came to learn of Yu’s existence, she had been struggling with herself, feeling as if words were always stuck in her throat. She had asked Su Shaoqing about the truth and wanted to confront Fu Chengyan with her newly-found knowledge. But she was terrified about the outcome. What if Fu Chengyan says something different that’s from my understanding?
Shi Nuan met Fu Chengyan’s gaze. “Okay. Let’s go home!”
Fu Chengyan’s eyes twinkled with joy upon hearing her answer.
At this moment, Fu Chengyan and Shi Nuan only had eyes for each other, but they had no idea what chaos was going on in Shengyuan now. Yu’s appearance in the office had shocked everyone. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
When Shen Qianan went to the lobby to fetch Yu, Yu started to wail loudly that he wanted his father!
As Yu happened to arrive in the company’s lobby just after lunchtime, his appearance was a shock to the numerous staff returning from lunch. Furthermore, he was in the arms of Shen Qianan, whom he
greeted as ‘Mommy’!
The servant heaved a sigh of relief after she passed Yu to Shen Qianan. “Ms. Shen, the Old Master asks me to bring Little Young Master here because he misses you and Young Master Chengyan too much.”
A glint flashed across Shen Qianan’s eyes. She nodded and said while patting Yu on his back, “I get it. I will take care of Yu. But…” Shen Qianan bit her lower lip and continued, “Yan isn’t here now!”
Undoubtedly, everyone was shocked to hear what she had just said and started to murmur amongst themselves.
Shen Qianan has just subtly announced her relationship with Fu Chengyan, right?
The next morning, Fu Chengyan resumed his usual routine of dropping Shi Nuan off at work, who caught some coworkers gossiping amongst themselves the moment she stepped foot into the company’s lobby.
“Have you heard about it? Ms. Shen brought a kid to the company yesterday and claimed that the kid’s father is Mr. Fu!”
“Yes! That kid looks like he is around three years old! To think that Mr. Fu has a son of this age!”
“But I don’t think Mr. Fu likes Shen Qianan. Instead, he seems to favor Shi Nuan from the Project Management Department more. Look how he picks her up to and fro from work.”
“That’s true. Who do you think Mr. Fu likes more?”
“Who knows? They resemble each other so much that they may be sisters!”
Shi Nuan was speechless.
Although the gossiping coworkers had kept their volumes down intentionally, Shi Nuan had caught every single word and could not help but feel upset despite learning the truth from Fu Chengyan yesterday.
What does Shen Qianan want?
She was filled with an indescribable feeling now after learning of Shen Qianan’s false claim yesterday.
Nonetheless, she still headed into her office. Yuan Jia ran to her side immediately and started to fill her in on the latest gossip. “Nuan, you weren’t in office yesterday, so you have no idea what had happened! Shen Qianan brought a child to the company and claimed that he is Mr. Fu’s son. What a joke! How could Mr. Fu be his father? I know all about your relationship with Mr. Fu…”
“Enough. Don’t you think I understand you well enough to know that you are prying for information on my relationship with Mr. Fu? Are you still suspecting that he is my husband, or do you want to learn from me whether that boy is really his son?” Shi Nuan smiled at Yuan Jia sweetly.
Embarrassed, Yuan Jia scratched her head. “I don’t mean that. I-I’m just too bored. Haha!”
Shi Nuan shook her head resignedly, “Enough. Let’s go back to work. Anyway, it is not up to any of us to discuss it. We’re only Shengyuan’s employees!” Suddenly, Shi Nuan’s phone rang. She was surprised to see that the caller was Fu Chengyan. “What’s the matter?”
“Have you heard about any rumor this morning?”
