I Want A Lifetime With You

I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 430

“Huh?”

When Li Sheng noticed Fu Chengyan’s interest, he went all out in the hope of clinching the Aureate Jade project. “You have no idea the profile of those women from Court Martins. They cater to a variety of tastes!”

As Li Sheng spoke, he evoked a leery smile. “Once you have savored them, you’ll remember it for life!”

Fu Chengyan’s eyes were lowered as he started thumbing away at the golf club. Li Sheng did not notice the shift in his mood and carried on excitedly.

“The last time we visited a few days ago, there was a newcomer who was absolutely top drawer. Too bad she didn’t hang around for too long.”

“Oh, really?” The corner of Fu Chengyan’s raised slightly in a smile that could easily have made others swoon. Good thing Li Sheng was a man. If he were a woman, he would have been smitten.

Li Sheng was slightly bewildered and could not decipher Fu Chengyan’s cryptic expression. So he probed cautiously, “Would you be keen to visit, Mr. Fu?”

The corner of Fu Chengyan’s lips dipped and he seemed to look right past Li Sheng. He then met Li Sheng’s eyes with a hint of enthusiasm. “It looks like Mr. Li couldn’t get enough of it?”

“Ha Ha!” That got Li Sheng slightly embarrassed. Compared to the cool and collected Fu Chengyan, Li Sheng felt himself lacking in a bit of class. “It is as you say, Mr. Fu!”

Fu Chengyan said, “Let’s start!”

Li Sheng watched as Fu Chengyan adjusted his grip on the club and teed up.

He stood to the side and pondered what Fu Chengyan meant with what he said earlier and at the same time, racked his brain to see how he could impress him.

Anyone in Jiang City knows that associating with Fu Chengyan could open up many paths. Li Sheng was no fool. He was certainly well aware of that.

He summarized a few points that he gathered from the exchange with Fu Chengyan – Either Fu Chengyan was interested in Court Martins, or he was not. Or there was something he wanted from there which he could not acquire for himself.

Li Sheng was deep in thought. What woman could be out of reach for a man like Fu Chengyan?

The other men applauded from a distance when Fu Chengyan bagged a hole-in-one and then crowded around to congratulate him. “That was superb, Mr. Fu!”

Fu Chengyan cleared his throat and glanced at Zhou Zheng, who quickly came over to him. “Mr. Fu has something else to attend to. I’ll tell you what. All your expenses here today will be paid for by him. Whoever wins later will be awarded the Aureate Jade project!”

The men gathered were initially dumbfounded, but they immediately nodded in acknowledgment. “In that case, we will not hold him up. We’ll play amongst ourselves!”

What a joke. Although they wanted to get close to Fu Chengyan, they were too intimidated by his presence. Even standing there for that brief moment took a lot out of them. When they knew that Fu Chengyan was not interested in their company, they could only happily see him off.

Fu Chengyan removed his glove and tossed them towards Zhou Zheng, the sense of disdain apparent in his eyes.

Zhou Zheng caught the gloves with the help of his deft hand to eye coordination and kept up with Fu Chengyan. “Mr. Fu, I don’t understand.”

“If you understood that, you would be able to take over my position!” When Fu Chengyan looked at Zhou Zheng, the latter straightened his back and stood at attention. “You are right, Mr. Fu!”

Fu Chengyan shifted his focus into the distance with lips raised.

Zhou Zheng traced his line of sight and was not surprised to spot Li Sheng coming towards them in a hurry. “Mr. Fu, allow me to gather my things first!”

Fu Chengyan nodded and waved Zhou Zheng away. Li Sheng had returned by then. “Mr. Fu!”

“Yes?”

Li Sheng rubbed his hands together. “I was wondering if there is any way that I could be of service to Mr. Fu? Just ask it of me and I would stake my life if needed!”

“I wouldn’t go that far!” Fu Chengyan smiled. “It’s actually a simple task. Fu Chengyan produced a photograph. “Recognize her?”

Li Sheng lowered his head to the item in Fu Chengyan’s hand and gasped when he looked upon it. “Yes, yes.” He not only recognized her, but knew her intimately.

Li Sheng’s eyes lighted up when he saw the woman in the photograph.

Fu Chengyan withheld a sliver of anger. “So long as Mr. Li understands! Do this well and I will fulfill one request of yours!” Fu Chengyan handed the photograph to Li Sheng and turned to walk away. Unbeknownst to Li Sheng, Fu Chengyan had wiped off his hands with a handkerchief when out of view and casually tossed it aside.

After Fu Chengyan left, Li Sheng stared at the woman in the photograph with longing in his eyes.

This is the newcomer that I met at Court Martins!

Speaking of which, that woman’s titillating outfit at that time was simply breathtaking. I initially thought her to be rather aloof, but she was unexpectedly wild in bed.

But it would seem that it was all too much for her to take. When Li Sheng went back to Court Martins, the person in charge said that the woman had not returned since then. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Li Sheng’s heart surged when he ran his finger over the image of the woman.

When Fu Chengyan stepped out of the golf course, Zhou Zheng was already waiting for him outside the car. The assistant opened the door when he saw his boss approach. “Mr. Fu, you could have left this to me.” What Zhou Zheng meant to say was Fu Chengyan did not have to come personally as those men were not fit to mingle with him.

Fu Chengyan lowered the side window completely and rested an elbow upon it. He then looked on with mild interest as the scenery outside sped past. “Boring!”

Zhou Zheng was speechless. He felt that his boss had become more haughty of late. And seemed to be a lot more idle as well. Zhou Zheng recalled that Fu Chengyan never used to handle these things himself.

“Why? Do you have something to say to me?”

Fu Chengyan raised his head and his gaze fell upon Zhou Zheng, who hurriedly sat upright. “I wouldn’t dare!”

“I bet you wouldn’t!” Fu Chengyan snorted, and then checked his watch. “Take me to Jinghe!”

“Now? Aren’t you going back to the office, Mr. Fu?” Zhou Zheng wondered why Fu Chengyan wanted to go to Jinghe when it was only a little past only three.

Zhou Zheng! Don’t attempt to guess Mr. Fu’s sentiments. You won’t be able to!

When Zhou Zheng saw the displeasure on Fu Chengyan’s face, he immediately muted himself and turned around in the direction of Jinghe.

Jinghe was also a mall developed by Shengyuan. Basically in Jiang City, more than half of the large- scale shopping malls were properties of the company. Shengyuan’s scale of operations were extensive and was not limited to Jiang City. It had also left its footprints in bigger places like the capital and Sheen City.

After Fu Chengyan alighted, he entered the mall and headed straight for the third floor which sold baby products and maternity goods.

Zhou Zheng followed behind Fu Chengyan. When he saw where Fu Chengyan was headed, he gnashed his teeth. He thought Fu Chengyan was at Jinghe to survey the operations and did not think that he was there to shop.

Zhou Zheng suddenly felt glad that he did not suggest seeking out the person in charge of the mall, or else he would have ended up embarrassing himself.

Fu Chengyan was oblivious to his assistant’s private musings and made a beeline for the baby products and maternity goods.

He considered that since Shi Nuan was almost eight weeks into her pregnancy, she might eventually have trouble fitting into most of her clothes with her swollen belly. It seemed to him that maternity clothing differed from regular ones.

Whereas Fu Chengyan was able to wander between the aisles nonchalantly, Zhou Zheng felt rather self-conscious as he walked behind him. This was especially so since the other shoppers they were mostly surrounded by were either some middle-aged women or younger females.

As Fu Chengyan’s focus was completely on those clothes and toys, he was unaware of the mass of mostly curious looks they were receiving. Fu Chengyan simply stood out too much with his impressive physique and dashing looks. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he might be better looking than a number of male actors.

Not to mention that Fu Chengyan also possessed a sort of charisma about him that drew the attention of onlookers and made it hard for them to peel their eyes away.

The eyes of a few ladies with baby products in their hands were transfixed on Fu Chengyan. “Look at that handsome man!”

“Yeah, he is so good-looking! But I wonder what’s he doing here? Could it be that he’s already married?”

“…”

Zhou Zheng frowned when he saw that Fu Chengyan was still browsing. “Mr. Fu!”

Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes. “What?” His tone clearly reflected his annoyance at being interrupted.

“People. There are people around!” Zhou Zheng reminded him.

When Fu Chengyan looked around, he saw that the whole area was packed. He turned to Zhou Zheng sharply and snarled, “Clear them out!”

“Ah? But…” Is this really necessary? Zhou Zheng really wanted to tell his boss that Shi Nuan was a long way off from delivery so there was no need to purchase these things so soon. But when he saw

the chilling aura emanating from Fu Chengyan, Zhou Zheng wisely chose to keep his opinions to himself.

“Yes! Right away!”

A sales representative there had observed by the side that Fu Chengyan had already spent quite a bit of time browsing, but still seemed undecided on which to buy. Fu Chengyan was so good-looking that even the heart of the sales representative pounded when she approached. “Sir, is there something that I could help with?”

Fu Chengyan held one set of pink babywear and another set of blue ones in his hands while he donned a flustered look on his face. He lifted his head when he heard a woman’s voice ring out next to him. The sales representative’s pulse quickened when his eyes met hers. She composed herself before asking again. “Sir, would you like me to help?”

“Yes!”

“Are you buying it for a friend’s children?” she asked. “How old are they?”

“Do I look like I’ve nothing better to do?” Fu Chengyan offered up a frosty retort that was neither a question nor an answer.

The sales representative was momentarily dumbstruck. That got Fu Chengyan even more ticked off. “Two months old!”

This was when she realized that Fu Chengyan’s point was that he could not be bothered to buy stuff for other people’s children, and he was shopping for his own. She was a little gutted to learn that Fu Chengyan was off the market but she had to maintain her professionalism. “In that case, is it for a boy or a girl?”
