I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 470

Shu Qing practically fled as if her life depended on it. She couldn’t tell where her fear had stemmed from, but one thing she knew was that she was afraid of facing Shi Nuan.

She sat in the car, gazing off into the distance. When her manager saw the look on her face, his brows furrowed slightly. “Ms. Shu, you really shouldn’t have spoken to Ms. Shi in such a manner just now!”

“Then tell me, how exactly should I have spoken?” Shu Qing sneered. “You knew from the beginning that Shi Nuan was going to come, didn’t you?”

Shu Qing’s eyes bored into her manager, but the latter shifted his gaze away instead.

The manager’s reaction was enough of an answer for Shu Qing. “You clearly knew that I didn’t want to see her. So why did you take me there anyway?”

“Ms. Shu, unless you don’t want to develop in Z Nation anymore, you’ll have to see her one way or another. Not just today, but even in the future if she wants to meet you. There’s really no way for you to reject her invitation!”

“You…”

“Don’t forget, Ms. Shu. You still have to rely on Xinhuang now, and Xinhuang belongs to Shengyuan. You should know your priorities well. Besides, turning back isn’t an option. There’s no way for you to go back there anymore.”

“Enough!” Shu Qing cut her manager off. “You don’t need to keep reminding me. I know my own past better than anyone else. Aren’t you just waiting to watch me turn into a joke? Not just you, but Su Huaibei too. You’re merely Su Huaibei’s dog!”

Her manager snorted coldly, but remained silent otherwise.

He dropped Shu Qing off at the Su family’s residence. Then, he reported everything to Su Huaibei. Su Huaibei had a dark expression on his face. No one could determine the thoughts that were running through his mind.

“You can go now. Come here again tomorrow.”

After dismissing the manager, Su Huaibei remained in his study for a while longer before heading to Shu Qing’s room. Shu Qing was taking a shower in the bathroom. It was as though she was trying to scrub off a thick layer of dirt on her skin. She only came out after one full hour.

The moment she exited the bathroom, she was met with the sight of Su Huaibei standing on the balcony. She walked toward him as if she were in a trance. With a towel in her hands, she lifted them up. In that transient moment, countless scenarios emerged in Shu Qing’s mind.

Push him. Push him down. All of your pain and troubles will cease to exist.

However, Shu Qing’s hands froze midair. Her whole body trembled, but she did not dare to move any closer.

Her eyes seemed to shimmer with a layer of mist as she gazed at the man in front of her. She only needed to steel herself and push with all her might, and this man would undoubtedly die. Even if he didn’t, he would be bedridden for the rest of his life.

The whispers of the devil on her shoulder seemed to almost drown out everything else, and she felt overwhelmed by her poisonous thoughts.

Su Huaibei had been looking straight ahead the whole time, not seeming to have sensed Shu Qing’s presence.

This opportunity was one in a million. If she failed to grab it, it would slip out of her reach forever.

Shu Qing closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Just as she was about to thrust her palms forward, the man’s voice sounded out from above her head. “It seems like you still can’t bear for me to die!”

Shu Qing’s eyes flew wide open, her gaze meeting Su Huaibei’s eyes that resembled bottomless pits; dark and terrifying. She jolted with fright and backed away two steps. Drawing in another deep breath, she leveled her gaze with his.

Su Huaibei stared at Shu Qing with a smile tugging on the corners of his lips, but his eerie smile did nothing to make her feel better.

Shu Qing bit her lips and balled her fists. “Su Huaibei, you deserve to be thrown into hell!”

“Is that so? Well, perhaps! However, if I go to hell, I’ll be sure to drag you down with me. It’s too bad that you’d lost such a great opportunity just now, hmm?” Su Huaibei lifted Shu Qing’s hand. Only then did he notice that her fists were clenched together tightly, her whole body trembling like a leaf.

A chuckle escaped Su Huaibei’s lips all of a sudden. “I didn’t know that you knew fear too!”

“Let go of me, you b*stard!”

“I’ve said this before. If you can’t kill me, I’ll make sure that you’ll stay by my side. Be it dead or alive, you’re mine forever.” Su Huaibei coldly flung Shu Qing’s hand away. “Furthermore, look, you actually can’t bear to see me die. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have hesitated for such a long time just now!”

“You think I wouldn’t dare to do so? I was merely worried that I’d get my hands dirty with all your filth!”

“All my filth? Am I any filthier than you, someone who has slept around with the entire entertainment circle? How many rich heirs have you spread your legs for?” Su Huaibei’s eyes were filled with indifference.

Shu Qing’s body quaked violently at that. “Su Huaibei, you’re such a b*stard. B*stard!”

Shu Qing raised her hand and was about to bring it down on Su Huaibei’s face, but his hand shot out to grab her wrist before she could do so. “I’m a b*stard? Even if that’s the case, you still gave birth to a daughter for me, didn’t you?”

“You mean that b*stard child…”

Before Shu Qing could finish her sentence, Su Huaibei grabbed her chin hard. The force of his grip caused her jaw to be dislocated.

Tears of pain gathered in Shu Qing’s eyes, streaming down her cheeks and pooling on the space between Su Huaibei’s thumb and forefinger.

He continued pinching her chin as his eyes reddened with anger.

“I dare you to repeat that again! Do you really think that I wouldn’t do anything to you? Huh?” Su Huaibei’s rage was channeled into his fingers on her chin. The force of it was just like it had been previously when he had seen Shu Qing coming out of Shen Feng’s room. He had almost snapped her neck.

Shu Qing reached out to slap Su Huaibei’s hand away, trying to say something. To her misfortune, the pain in her jaw was so bad she couldn’t speak.

When Su Huaibei saw Shu Qing in such a condition, he extended his other hand to caress her face. “Tell me. Why are you always so disobedient, hmm?” He moved his hand to her forehead. “If you behaved better, I wouldn’t need to treat you this way.”
