I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 202

“You’re not late.” Shi Nuan realized Lin Yu’s aura seemed different today. She shot him a grin. “Mr. George is inside.”

Lin Yu nodded, his face slightly pale. The man followed Shi Nuan in.

George had already spotted Lin Yu. He stood up to welcome him. “Lin, long time no see!”

“George, long time no see.” Both men shook hands and exchanged greetings. Shi Nuan noticed Lin Yu seemed unwell, so she poured him a cup of warm water. “Mr. Lin, if you’re unwell, you don’t have to come.”

“I’m fine.” Lin Yu took the water from her politely, but set it aside. His slender fingers began folding up his coat. Su Yian gave George a cup of tea before standing up. “Mr. Lin, please give me your coat.”

Su Yian stretched her hand out politely, but Lin Yu was taken aback, like he had just noticed her existence.

The man’s dark gaze fell on Su Yian.

Because Lin Yu had arrived late, he didn’t know who Su Yian was, so his gaze was full of curiosity.

Both of them froze. Shi Nuan reacted first and introduced them to each other. “Mr. Lin, this is my friend, Su Yian. She’s also the owner of this teahouse. I personally invited her to talk to Mr. George.”

Lin Yu finally regained his senses and shot Su Yian an apologetic look. “Thank you, Ms. Su.”

“It’s nothing.” Su Yian gave him a slight smile and took his coat. When she came back, Lin Yu’s gaze was still fixated on Su Yian.

The woman found a quiet place and sat down. She took over Shi Nuan’s task of making tea. George was excited as he hadn’t seen Lin Yu in a while, so both men started discussing about new project animatedly.

Shi Nuan would join in their conversation from time to time, but it was mostly Lin Yu and George talking. However, Lin Yu’s gaze would dart towards Su Yian occasionally. Su Yian might not have realized it herself, but Shi Nuan noticed Lin Yu’s expression. She smirked and inched closer to Su Yian before winking at her.

Su Yian glanced at her curiously. “What?”

The woman seemed baffled, so Shi Nuan tilted her chin in Lin Yu’s direction, but he had already looked away awkwardly. Shi Nuan raised her brows and shook her head with a chuckle. “It’s nothing.”

Su Yian’s lips curved up in resignation. She handed a cup of tea to Shi Nuan. “I thought you came closer because something’s up.”

Meanwhile, Fu Chengyan arrived at the golf course on time. At this time of the year, the golf course wasn’t empty. Instead, it was full of players. Fu Chengyan found out later that it was Lin Shen’s birthday today, and he had planned to invite a few friends to play golf with him. But because Fu Chengyan and Li Heng were too intimidating, Lin Shen dared not invite them.

When Fu Chengyan walked in, he saw Li Heng casually sipping his tea. The man didn’t look like he was here to play golf. He saw Fu Chengyan approaching him and told the server to prepare tea.

Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes and walked up to him. “Why are you free today?”

“I thought you were the one who asked me out?” Li Heng shot him a look before realizing Fu Chengyan was dressed in… “What is it about?”

Li Heng handed a cigarette to Fu Chengyan, but Fu Chengyan man placed it aside. “We’re in a no-smoking zone.”

His friend merely smirked. “I never knew you cared about that! I thought you’d be busy on weekends.”

“Yes, I am. I didn’t want to come at first,” Fu Chengyan told him honestly.Li Heng narrowed his eyes before gazing sharply at Fu Chengyan. He tapped his fingers on his knee. “Are you sure you want Li Group to take over the West City project?”

“Of course!” Fu Chengyan caressed the spot between his thumb and forefinger, pausing. “I thought Li Group would be an excellent partner in Jiang City.”

“But you should know I’m not in charge of Li Group now,” Li Heng replied, his tone indifferent. “My father allowed Li Xufan to share my position in order to weaken my influence in the company.”

“I believe you can settle that issue yourself as it’s a division within your company, and I won’t interfere. But then again, are you not planning to monopolize Li Group?” Fu Chengyan asked with a sharp glint in his eyes.

To Fu Chengyan, Li Group had little value. If it wasn’t for Li Heng, he would’ve acted ages ago.
