I Want A Lifetime With You

Chapter 32

The place was already filled with tons of guests when Shi Nuan walked down the stairs supporting Shi Yunsheng, Shi Nuan didn’t like crowds, but today was a special occasion and she didn’t want to spoil Shi Yunsheng’s mood.

Naturally, Shi Yunsheng could tell that Shi Nuan was reluctant, so he patted her hand and said, “Nuan, if you’re not willing, you can always leave first. I don’t mind at all.”

“What are you talking about, grandpa? It’s just once a year, so of course I’ll accompany you! I’ll even stay for the cake!” Most people found Shi Nuan hard to talk to, so she wasn’t as well-liked as Shi Wei in the Shi Family. Nevertheless, Shi Yunsheng knew that in truth, Shi Nuan was kind and a sweet talker – it just depended on who she was speaking to.

Hearing Shi Nuan’s response, Shi Yunsheng could only sigh helplessly. He patted the back of her hand and said, “Don’t worry. You can always leave the heavy matters to me. If you like Fu Xicheng, I’ll…”

“Grandpa!” Shi Nuan shook her head gently as she interrupted Shi Yunsheng. “A man who’s disloyal once will be disloyal for life – this I’m well aware of. Besides, he’s already tainted. I won’t want him anymore!”

“Oh, that’s great! You deserve better, Nuan!” Shi Yunsheng was thankful that Shi Nuan wasn’t bothered by this matter. But since Shi Wei and Fu Xicheng had done such a thing, the old man certainly wasn’t going to let them off easily. “I’ll make them apologize to you and explain themselves!”

As Shi Yunsheng and Shi Nuan walked down the stairs, all the guests were filled with curiosity about the girl Shi Yunsheng was holding on to.

It wasn’t as though nobody had heard of the incident that occurred recently, but all these years, people only one young lady of the Shi family had been made known to the public. They had never heard of a second young lady.

Back when the news got out, everyone even thought Shi Nuan was an illegitimate child. But seeing how Shi Yunsheng treated her, they began to doubt their assumptions.

Jiang Yu was beyond livid to see Shi Yunsheng holding Shi Nuan’s hand. She glared daggers at Shi Nuan.

Shi Wei’s expression was just as bad. She felt even worse after seeing how much her grandfather protected Shi Nuan. When Shi Wei turned to find Fu Xicheng also looking at Shi Nuan, she became filled with even more rage. “Are you regretting your decision, Xicheng?”

Fu Xicheng quickly returned to his senses. Seeing how pitifully Shi Wei looked at him, he felt his heart melt. He grabbed Shi Wei’s hand and shook his head, saying, “How could I? Being with you is the best thing to ever happen to me. But today, Nuan…”

Fu Xicheng didn’t know how to describe it, but Shi Nuan looking different from usual. The sight of her standing elegantly by Shi Yunsheng made him unable to avert his gaze from her. But Fu Xicheng knew he now belonged to Shi Wei. “I’m just worried that your grandfather…”

“Don’t worry. Grandpa will surely approve. He will!” Shi Wei said confidently.

As Shi Nuan walked Shi Yunsheng down the stairs, Jiang Yu cast a glance at Shi Jingzheng and the latter quickly rushed over. “Dad! Nuan!”

Deep down, Shi Jingzheng was unhappy that Shi Nuan had actually arrived long ago and immediately went to see the old man, but there were more important matters to worry about right now. “I thought you wouldn’t come even though your grandpa treats you so well, Nuan. Thank goodness you’re here!”

“What are you trying to say?” Shi Yunsheng glared at Shi Jingzheng upon hearing his son talk like that. “I was the one who told Nuan to come and see me once she arrived. Is there a problem?”

“O-Of course not. It’s not that I was worried Nuan wouldn’t come because she’d be too embarrassed about what hap–”

Shi Jingzheng immediately stopped talking under Shi Yunsheng’s sharp glare, but he had said what he needed to say. The guests quickly remembered the incident that had occurred not long ago. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Standing not far off, a smug Shi Wei smiled goadingly at Shi Nuan.
