I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 38

Su Shaoqing walked over and took a close look. “She’s been drugged, and it’s a pretty strong one too. How long has it been? Since she’s your woman, you should have just gone to me instead of asking me to come over!” he said with a smile, noticing that the woman was quite good-looking.

But the more he looked at her, the more familiar she seemed. Recognition flashed across his eyes after a long while. “Isn’t this the girl from the Shi family?”

Fu Chengyan raised an eyebrow. “You know her?”

“Don’t be mistaken. I don’t know her!” Su Shaoqing was no fool. From just one sentence, he could understand the hidden meaning behind Fu Chengyan’s words and immediately made himself clear. “Heheh, I don’t know her, but I’ve met her once.

Rather, I’m curious why would get yourself tangled up with the Shi family. According to my information, the son of that small branch from your family, Fu Yuqing, is also connected to the Shi family!”

“Yeah, he is,” Fu Chengyan nodded.

“So what should we do now?” Su Shaoqing asked while stroking his chin.

“You’re a doctor and you’re asking me what to do?” Fu Chengyan asked sternly. “Why else would I call you over?”

“That’s not it, bro. I’m saying there’s such a beautiful woman in front of you, and you’re actually not making a move? That’s unlike you!” Su Shaoqing said exaggeratingly. “I have to tell… cough, I may be a doctor, but this isn’t my specialty.

Besides, you haven’t given me any information and I rushed over right after I finished my operation. Why would I have the antidote on me?

“I’m saying that the antidote is right here with you, so why did you still come looking for me?” Su Shaoqing asked in desperation.

Fu Chengyan pursed his lips. His darkened expression looked rather terrifying.

Su Shaoqing’s eyes widened and immediately got it. “Are you saying you haven’t done anything with her yet!?”

“Cut the nonsense and get to work already!” Fu Chengyan responded as he looked at the woman tossing and turning in bed. “Are you a quack doctor or what?”

“Hey, Chengyan, you’re the one needing my help… Fine, I guess I don’t have a choice. We’ll have to lower her temperature, so get Zhou Zheng to bring some ice cubes over. But after cooling her down, she’ll definitely be feverish the next day. I’ll prescribe some medication, so do your best tonight!”

Once Su Shaoqing’s words fell, Fu Chengyan turned to Zhou Zheng standing by the door, and the latter immediately came over. “I’ll get some ice cubes right away!”

Shi Nuan was under the influence of the drug, so it wasn’t ideal to leave her in someone else’s care. However, there were no maids inside the Wutong Residence. It was just the three men. Fu Chengyan chased Zhou Zheng and Su Shaoqing out of the room.

Fu Chengyan filled the bathtub with water and dumped a pile of ice cubes into it before carrying Shi Nuan into the bathroom.

Shi Nuan climbed out of the tub the moment she felt the cold water touch her body. She grabbed Fu Chengyan’s arm tightly and said with tears streaming down her face, “You’re so mean! Stop bullying me! It’s cold.”

Fu Chengyan retracted his dark gaze a little and patted Shi Nuan on the forehead. “Be a good girl and don’t move. Stay in there for a while!”

“Then you’ll have to stay by my side!” Shi Nuan pouted. “I’m afraid of the cold.”

Meanwhile, Su Shaoqing dragged Zhou Zheng out to the living room and looked at him with an innocent smile. Zhou Zheng suddenly shivered for a moment and looked at Su Shaoqing in fear. “Heheh, there’s no point looking at me like that, Mr. Su! I don’t know anything. I really don’t know anything!”

Every member of Jiang City’s Big Four sure had their own unique personalities. Su Shaoqing wasn’t a businessman, but he was a well-known figure of authority in Jiang City. The city’s greatest hope was in Su Shaoqing’s field.

Zhou Zheng had worked under Fu Chengyan all this while, but he also often had to help Su Shaoqing out. So even if he didn’t understand the latter very well, he still knew a thing or two about him.

Su Shaoqing was different from Fu Chengyan. Fu Chengyan was the kind of person who would do anything to get what he wanted, without any mercy. Meanwhile, Su Shaoqing always appeared to be smiling on the surface and treated others kindly, but as for what he wanted to do behind the scenes, nobody really knew.

Therefore, whenever Su Shaoqing smiled like this, it meant someone was about to get unlucky.

Su Shaoqing narrowed his eyes and let out a cold snort. His hands, which were always stained with bleach all year round, looked extremely slender and more delicate than a woman’s hands.

He took off his white coat and threw it at Zhou Zheng before casually sitting on the couch with a perverse smile on his face. “You don’t know? You’re always by Chengyan’s side and you’re telling me you don’t know?”

Zhou Zheng quivered. “I really don’t know, Mr. Su. There are things Mr. Fu won’t tell me.”

“Is that so?” Su Shaoqing squinted. His smile looked rather sinister. “You really don’t know? The Shi family’s eldest daughter, Shi Wei, recently got engaged to Fu Xicheng, and now Chengyan is with the second daughter. Even if you don’t tell me, do you think I wouldn’t know?”

“Well, since you already know about it, then why are you still asking me, Mr. Su!?” Zhou Zheng wanted to cry. “I really don’t know about what happened today. All I know is that Mr. Fu had gone to Old Man Shi’s birthday celebration and came back with Ms. Shi in his arms.”

“Ohhh…!” Su Shaoqing dragged out his word. “I see!”

He tapped the sofa with his slender fingers and was just about to say something, but looked up vigilantly and saw Fu Chengyan standing in the hallway.
