I Want A Lifetime With You

Chapter 590

Chapter 590 Meeting Up With An

“Slow down! You might trip!” Shen Qianan trailed behind with a smile. When Shi Nuan spotted Shen Qianan, she called out to the latter while motioning for her to come over. Shi Nuan was holding a glass of fruit juice that the servant had served her. “Yu has become livelier these days!”

“Yea.” Shen Qianan was grateful for Yu’s change in behavior too. When they were overseas, it was just her and her son. Sometimes, when she was not feeling the best, there was no one around for her to rely on. She was happy that Yu and Bao had established a good relationship with each other.

“What are you looking at?” Shen Qianan asked Shi Nuan as her eyes landed on the stack of paper in the latter’s hands. “Are those the artists’ information? You’re in charge of that too?”

Shen Qianan looked surprised as she continued, “Your job is so stressful! How could Fu Chengyan overwork you when you’re currently pregnant?”

Noticing the dissatisfaction in Shen Qianan’s voice, Shi Nuan smiled. “Qianan, I’m only pregnant. That doesn’t mean I can’t do anything at all.” She pointed at the files. “It’s not a difficult job. Most of them are just trivial matters that I have to solve. Yan has been swamped with work lately, while Zhou Zheng is helping me with the issues at Huancheng. That’s why we’re currently short-handed. Anyway, the employees at Xinhuang Entertainment have already compiled the information for me. I only have to browse through them.”

Then, she flipped through the pages casually. “They’ve already made their choices. I don’t have to do it myself. I’m only going to take a look, and that’s all!”

Shen Qianan nodded. “That’s great! Oh, yea. Ling has gone to Huancheng recently. I wonder if he’s doing well.”

“I heard from Huan that Ling was a business management student, so I’m not that worried about him.” Shi Nuan used her hands to support herself before changing into a different position. “My belly is so huge!” she added while looking at her stomach helplessly. “Qianan, was your belly this huge when you were pregnant with Yu?”

“No, of course not. I was pregnant with a single child. You’re carrying twins! It’s different! Do you feel better now?” Shen Qianan replied as she helped Shi Nuan sit up properly.

“Yeap!” Shi Nuan nodded. “Hmm, here’s what, Qianan! Since you think I’m working too hard, why don’t you skim through these for me when you are free?”

Shen Qianan was taken aback. She waved her hands anxiously. “Me? Why me? I can’t! I’ve never done this before. Plus, I’m not familiar with this field. I’m not sure how everything works! I don’t have the brains to manage these!”

“No one is born knowing everything! I used to be inexperienced too. Just observe and learn!” Shi Nuan smiled before passing the documents to Shen Qianan. “Qianan, browse through these first. If you have anything that requires clarification, let me know. Or, you can leave them aside first. I’ll lie down for a while.”

Shi Nuan closed her eyes after finishing her words. Shen Qianan wanted to object further, but she knew Shi Nuan had her eyes shut to ignore her.

Shen Qianan chuckled resignedly. Shi Nuan is an assertive person. I thought I was the older sibling here. Why does she act like my boss?

Despite that thought, she knew Shi Nuan was doing this for her benefit. Moreover, Shen Qianan had no exceptional skills to call her own since she was young.

With that in mind, she lifted her head to look at Yu and the other kids. The sight of them studying hard gave her the motivation and push she needed. Hence, she lowered her head and started delving into the files before her.

Shi Nuan was right. Her subordinates have already nicely compiled the list and information to make her job more manageable. Since Shi Nuan was carrying his children, Fu Chengyan could not possibly delegate those laboring work to his wife. Hence, the paperwork he gave Shi Nuan was relatively easy to understand.

Shi Nuan’s job scope included browsing through reports about the company’s operation and management, the information about the artists the company was currently training, and the overall operation cost. She did not have to worry about anything more than those.

Two hours went by as Shen Qianan looked through documents. She noticed that the task was not as difficult as she thought once she got the hang of it.

When she lifted her head after some time, she noticed that Shi Nuan had awakened from her nap and was currently playing around with Yu and the rest. Meanwhile, Yu and Bao were exhausted after a long day. They complained endlessly, refusing to practice a proper squat form while circling Shi Nuan. The kids were curious about the gender of Shi Nuan’s babies.

Bai was relatively quiet, though. As he was the youngest, he was reserved and shy. At present, the boy wrapped his arms around Huo Ling as he requested candy from her. Shen Qianan felt content looking at the scene before her and was unwilling to interrupt the peace and serenity surrounding her.

The woman smiled softly as she continued to observe the group. Then, she retracted her gaze. Her eyes landed on the files before her once again. Soon, an entire afternoon flew by quickly and quietly.

With the support of Huo Ling, Shi Nuan headed into the house while Shen Qianan stayed behind with the servants to clean up the mess. On the other hand, the kids had already moved to the living room for

their never-ending playtime.

Suddenly, just as Shen Qianan stood up from her seat, her phone rang. She took out her phone and peered at it. Then, a look of disbelief appeared on her face. After a moment of hesitation, she picked it up. “Hello.”

“It’s me, An!” A gentle voice sounded from the other end of the phone.

Shen Qianan’s hand trembled when she heard his voice, though she hid it with a smile. “Godfather, why did you call me?”

“Hey, if I didn’t call you, you would’ve forgotten about me!” the man feigned anger as he replied. Then, he sighed. “I haven’t seen you since you returned to the country.”

“Yes. How are you feeling?”

“Good. I’m fine. Luckily you still remember me.” The man guffawed. “An, I’m back in the country too. Why don’t we meet up when you’re free? By the way, how is Yu?”

“Yu is doing well!” Shen Qianan voiced. She then asked hesitantly, “When did you come back?”

“Not long ago. I have to admit that I’m old already.” The man sighed again. “It’s time to return home after so many years abroad. If not, I think I’ll forget how the country looks like.”

“Hah! You’re so funny.” Shen Qianan laughed. “I was busy these days. That’s why I didn’t contact you. Are you currently in Jiang City?”

“Yes. I arrived yesterday, and I’ve just settled down in my hotel. I thought of meeting up with you and Yu because you told me you were in Jiang City previously. I wonder whether Yu still remembers me after not seeing me for such an extended period.”

“Of course! He’ll definitely remember you. Why don’t you let me know when you’re free? I’ll visit you with Yu.”

The person who spoke to Shen Qianan was an older man she had met when she was overseas. He, too, was a native of Jiang City. Probably due to the fact that they were from the same region, the older man had extended a helping hand to Shen Qianan when she was at the lowest point in her life.

When Shen Qianan returned to the country last year, the older man had even asked her to stay. When he could not convince her otherwise, he had told her to look for him when she was back in the country.

He helped me unconditionally when I was in trouble, citing that he was alone without any children. He even took me as his goddaughter after that. Since he’s back here now, I can’t reject his request.

Overjoyed by Shen Qianan’s response, the older man clapped his hands. “I’m always free. What about tomorrow? Does the date work for you? I’ve bought a house here. You may visit me here tomorrow.”

“All right, then.” Shen Qianan hung up.

Turning her head around, she noticed the servants had already cleaned up the place around her. She walked into the house after them.

The next day, a worried Shi Nuan passed a tracking device Fu Chengyan had given her to Shen Qianan before leaving with Yu. “Qianan, why don’t you hide this in your hair?” She frowned before adding, “You never told me you have a godfather.” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Shen Qianan smiled. “I met him when I was abroad. I didn’t have time to contact him after coming back. If it weren’t for his call yesterday, I wouldn’t have remembered about this.” She looked at the mini-tracking device helplessly. “I’m not going on some dangerous mission. Why are you giving me this?”

“Take it, please! Then, I can worry less about you!” Shi Nuan focused her eyes on Shen Qianan and took the latter’s hands. “Remember this. Give me a call if anything happens. No! You should call Yan or Li Heng instead.”

Shi Nuan was still terrified by the previous incident. She was afraid that Shen Qianan would be kidnapped once again. That was why she was insistent on being vigilant.

To ease Shi Nuan’s worries, Shen Qianan placed the tracking device underneath her hair. She double- checked before remarking, “Don’t worry about me!”

Shi Nuan rechecked the device, and when she noticed nothing was amiss, she nodded. “I know. Okay, both of you be careful.”

“All right.” Shen Qianan smiled. “Why do I feel like you are the older sibling here?”

Shi Nuan blushed. “What are you talking about? You’re my older sister! All right. I don’t want to take up any more of your time. Come home as soon as you can!”

Shi Nuan watched as Shen Qianan left in her car. With her anxiety level still running high, she called Fu Chengyan. “Yan, Qianan insisted on heading out. I don’t know what Fu Sijue is planning to do! What if he abducts Qianan again?”

“No worries. I’ll make sure someone keeps track of Qianan’s movements.” Fu Chengyan tapped his fingers on the table. “Fu Sijue doesn’t seem to have anything planned recently.”

“Okay, but please send someone to follow Qianan. She’s driving my car.”

“Sure!” Fu Chengyan said before hanging up.

He turned on his laptop to lock his target on Shi Nuan’s car. “Zhou Zheng, who’s in charge of tagging after Shen Qianan?”

“Zhou Zhi. He’s in charge of Ms. Shen’s safety. Mr. Fu, did anything happen? Do I need to send more people?” asked Zhou Zheng. He decided to probe further into the matter, as it was unusual for Fu Chengyan to deal with such trivial issues.

Fu Chengyan nodded. “Ask Zhou Zhi to be careful. I find the situation suspicious even though nothing has happened recently.”

That was why Fu Chengyan did not think Shi Nuan’s worries about Shen Qianan heading outdoors were unnecessary. Zhou Zheng nodded. “Noted. I’ll call him now.”
