I Want A Lifetime With You

Chapter 16

“Are you aware of what you’re saying? How could you think of Wei and I this way? It’s not because we…”

“That’s enough. I don’t want to hear anything else from you. You disgust me, Fu Xicheng. Get out of here right now. I don’t want my last impression of you to be completely ruined,” Shi Nuan said as she pushed Fu Xicheng away and glared at him. “Don’t come bothering me anymore.”

Saying that, Shi Nuan took out her keys and walked swiftly towards her apartment. She opened the door and went in. She felt like being with Fu Xicheng for even a second longer would drive her crazy.

Fu Xicheng continued to gaze at Shi Nuan’s back. He couldn’t understand why this was happening between them!

Even if they couldn’t be lovers, surely their feelings for each other still remained. He felt that as long as Shi Nuan had even an ounce of feelings for him, she would understand how he felt and grant his and Shi Wei’s wishes, especially since Shi Wei had once saved her life.

He figured that after this incident happened, he would compensate her in some way, then their relationship would stay the same. Shi Nuan would still be the caring, magnanimous and understanding woman she always was.

But now, everything had changed. It must have been because of that man in the car. Otherwise, there was definitely no way Shi Nuan would treat him like this.

Shi Nuan merely felt drained. The talk she just had with Fu Xicheng made her question her sanity.

……

After remaining at home throughout the weekend, Shi Nuan picked herself up and headed to work. To her, no matter what happened, life had to go on and she certainly couldn’t neglect her work. But clearly,

Shi Nuan had overestimated herself and underestimated everyone else’s abilities.

The moment Shi Nuan entered the lobby of her workplace, many people began pointing fingers at her. “That’s her. How shameless can she be to steal her own sister’s fiancé?”

“Yeah! I heard her sister even once saved her life.”

“Oh god, how could someone be so treacherous?”

“Don’t even talk about it. This woman’s character was never that good to begin with. I’m guessing you guys don’t know about this, but she’s from my workplace. Do you know how many women have been sent away by her?”

“…”

In an instant, Shi Nuan’s sharp glare landed on those few women. Due to either Shi Nuan’s overly intimidating aura or her position in the company, those women quickly lowered their heads and scrammed. But they still muttered before running off, “Is she proud of being a homewrecker? We can’t even speak the truth now?”

Shi Nuan had to take several deep breaths to calm down.

Her heart felt extremely bitter as she looked at those women walking away. She knew from the start that she’d face something like this when she came to work, but knowing it and experiencing it for real were two different matters.

Shi Nuan shook her head and turned to leave.

“Ms. Shi,” the receptionist, Yu, called out to Shi Nuan. She glanced at Shi Nuan rather awkwardly and said, “Almost everyone in the company knows about this. You’ll have to be prepared, Ms. Shi!”

“Thanks for the reminder, Yu.” She still had to get through this mess no matter what. “Do you trust me?”

“Ms. Shi, I don’t believe you’re that kind of person. Besides…” She had also seen Shi Nuan and Fu Xicheng together. The two definitely were lovers.

“Thank you. Alright, I’ll be heading up now. Carry on with your work!” Shi Nuan was grateful towards anyone who believed her.
