I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 188

Song Zhenyan didn’t get anything out of Fu Chengyan, so she went back to the Fu family home at once. Song Jingyu helped her all the way but she was also in a foul mood.

The young woman was upset with how Fu Chengyan treated her but she dared not say anything in front of him. So, she could only follow Song Zhenyan out. Her aunt was the only person who supported her to go after Fu Chengyan.

Song Zhenyan knew exactly what Song Jingyu was thinking about. Seeing that she was in a foul mood, Song Zhenyan patted her hand consolingly. “Jingyu, you must be tired. Go and rest. I need to talk to your uncle.”

After asking Song Jingyu to leave, Song Zhenyan asked the butler, “Where’s my husband?”

The butler had worked for Fu Yunsheng for years. He was highly regarded despite his old age and was even a few years older than Fu Sheng and Fu Heng. However, he had never like this wife of Fu Sheng. He was displeased with her decision to leave the Fu clan years ago.

But Song Zhenyan was still a member of the Fu clan. For that, the butler had to accept the fact, even though he disliked her. “Mrs. Fu, he’s upstairs.”

“Okay,” Song Zhenyan nodded. “I’ll go upstairs to see him. Prepare some snacks for us.”

“Yes.” The man watched her headed upstairs before telling the cook to do so.

Since Fu Sheng handed the company over to Fu Chengyan, he rarely asked about it. Sometimes, he’d go to the company to look around but Fu Chengyan was the main decision maker.

Fu Sheng spent his time gathering with his old friends or staying at home. He’d play chess with his father or walk around the garden. The man enjoyed his retirement life immensely.

He was practicing calligraphy in the study when he heard footsteps heading his way. He frowned when Song Zhenyan’s voice rang out, “Am I disturbing you?”

From the beginning of their marriage until the day they separated, Song Zhenyan had never talked to him nicely unless she had a favor to ask. Fu Sheng had the last stroke to finish when Song Zhenyan walked in.

He finished the last stroke and glanced at Song Zhenyan. The woman was always elegant and dignified. She was wearing a Tang costume with a coat outside. Time had not left any traces on her face. She was still as pretty as ever but with a hint of matureness.

Fu Sheng put down his brush and blew on his writing before nodding. “No. Why are you here?”

Song Zhenyan frowned as she gazed at the calligraphy writing in front of Fu Sheng. She was pursing her lips when the cook entered with some snacks. “Mr. Fu, Mrs. Fu, I made these tea cakes using fresh tea leaves. Mrs. Fu liked it a lot back then.”

“Okay, put them down.” Song Zhenyan nodded and gestured for the cook to leave. She poured a cup of tea for Fu Sheng.

Fu Sheng gazed at her in surprise. “Get to the point.”

Although the man said that, he took the cup of tea from her and went back to his seat. “The cook still remembers what you like.”

Song Zhenyan frowned. “Didn’t you change the cook last time?”

Fu Sheng’s hands froze midair as the light in his eyes faded away. “Old is better than new,” he chuckled. “We don’t change our staff easily.”

Song Zhenyan’s face fell as she slammed the cup onto the table forcefully. “Fu Sheng, I’m not here to talk about this. I have no idea why you would say that either. Today, I need to talk to you about something.”

“Go ahead.” Fu Sheng’s lips twitched. He knew there must be a reason for her to be here since she came to him willingly. “What is it about?”

“It’s about Yan and Jingyu’s marriage. They have been dragging it for ages. When do you think they should get married?” Song Zhenyan asked in a pleasant tone and kept her temper in check.

Fu Sheng’s brows furrowed instantly. He glanced at his wife with a complicated expression in his eyes. “You know Yan won’t agree. Why are you so stubborn? Why does Jingyu insist on marrying him?”

“Fu Sheng, just tell me your decision!” Song Zhenyan was getting impatient. “Jingyu is great. She’s ten times better than that Shen Qianan.”
