I Want A Lifetime With You

Chapter 9

At Shi Nuan roared at her ex-boyfriend, her tears fell. She slowly pried Fu Xicheng’s fingers off her and shoved the man away. “So I’m the one at fault here, huh? Not you? Not her? If any of you had even cared about me, you wouldn’t have pulled this today.

You could have told me straight up if you didn’t like me anymore, Fu Xicheng. I wouldn’t have clung onto you. I’m not that kind of person. And you! Shi Wei! You say you’re my sister, but what did you do? You could have told me you liked him.

I would have blessed you if you two truly love each other, since I wouldn’t be standing here if not for you back then. I owe you for life, don’t I?” Shi Nuan was a mess of tears when she was done speaking.

She couldn’t understand why they chose to hurt her this way. One was her own sister, while the other was a man whom she had loved for three years.

“You guys want me to relent after making that kind of decision? You want me to tell grandpa that all of this was my fault? How do you sleep at night?” Shi Nuan wasn’t someone who cried much, but this time, she felt that she had been unfairly treated.

“Nuan!” Shi Wei covered her mouth, and cried too. The woman looked at Shi Nuan sadly, then she leaned against Fu Xicheng. “How could you say that? Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

You’re my dearest sister. Trust me! I would choose to hurt anyone else before I hurt you. Did you forget that I had saved you when you were kidnapped as a kid? You might have died if not for me.”

“Yes, you did save me, but does that mean I have to live in your shadow for the rest of my life?” Shi Nuan looked at her sister in disappointment. “Leave. I told you, whatever you want to do is up to you. I’ve paid my dues this time.”

Shi Nuan slammed the door shut, but when the door was closed, she leaned against the door and slid down to the floor.

Shi Wei kept pounding on the door, speaking gently, as if Shi Nuan were the sinner here. A moment later, Fu Xicheng said cruelly, “I never thought you’d be this kind of person, Shi Nuan. You disappoint me.”

Silence finally came for her, and she welcomed it gratefully. Shi Nuan sat on the ground, her arms around her legs. She curled up, the patch of fabric on her knees darkened from her tears.

Shi Nuan looked up after a long while, then she got up from the ground in a daze. She had to go on with her life no matter what, she refused to stay down.

Her phone suddenly rang. When she saw the caller ID, her expression darkened. “Hey, grandpa. Yeah, I just came back.” She sniffled in an attempt to make herself sound calmer. “Are you calling because you miss me?”

“You silly girl!” Jiang Shizheng sighed. “Come back home for a bit tomorrow.”

On the other hand, Fu Xicheng didn’t look good after being chased out by Shi Nuan, and Shi Wei didn’t look good either. She carefully looked at Fu Xicheng, tugging on his sleeve. Pitifully, she said, “What should we do now, Xicheng? Grandpa won’t agree to our marriage if Nuan refuses to come with us.

I told you we should have told her before we did this. She must hate us now. Nuan has always been a headstrong person since we were kids, so she won’t bow to anyone. I want to be with you, Xicheng. I don’t want to get separated.” Shi Wei leaned into his embrace and cried like a little girl.

Fu Xicheng frowned, then he patted her back to console her. The modicum of guilt he had toward Shi Nuan had disappeared too. “Don’t worry. I won’t let Shi Nuan separate us. Our families have agreed on

our marriage, so I don’t care even if your grandfather disagrees. My family will accept you.”

Shi Wei smiled after Fu Xicheng made his promise. She held his arms and stood on tiptoe to kiss him. “I love you, Xicheng.”

“I love you too.” Fu Xicheng held her and returned her kiss.

A long while later, they parted reluctantly. As Shi Wei leaned on Fu Xicheng’s chest, she smiled cruelly. Look, Shi Nuan. The man you love most has become mine.
