I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 471

Fu Chengyan was afraid that Shi Nuan wouldn’t be able to handle it. Hence, he was happy to hear her say that.

Fu Chengyan’s gaze deepened as he looked at her. “Did you have a good dinner?”

He had wanted to accompany her there today, but Shi Nuan shot down the idea. Besides, he was indeed busy and he couldn’t untangle himself from work. Shi Nuan was adamant about going alone. She wanted to see just what kind of attitude Shu Qing would have when facing her.

Although she had met Shu Qing before, she wasn’t sure how Shu Qing would really treat her. Their meeting today had helped Shi Nuan understand certain things. She was sure that Shu Qing didn’t like her and that she had even harbored resentment towards her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have treated her the way she did during an occasion like that.

“Yeah, of course, I did!” Shi Nuan curled her lips into a smile. However, when she thought about Shu Qing’s attitude towards her, it was inevitable that she would feel slightly uneasy.

At this point in time, she didn’t think that she needed her parents’ care anymore, but no matter the age, one’s family was still important.

“Silly girl. You must tell me if anything’s bothering you, okay?”

“Okay.” Shi Nuan nodded with a smile. “I’ll definitely make good use of such a capable husband. What are you so worried about?” Shi Nuan reached out to pinch his cheek. “I’ll go take a shower first.” Then, she paused. “By the way.”

“Hmm?”

Fu Chengyan raised his brows. “What is it?”

“Since we’re living in your family home now, and umm… Mom… Has realized her mistakes. Not to mention, it’s been so many years already since all that happened. So, you wouldn’t still be holding a grudge against her, would you? I’m sure that you’re not that petty, right?”

Fu Chengyan’s eyes widened in surprise before they narrowed into slits as he stared at her. “Hmm? So you’re starting to lecture me too now?”

“No!” Shi Nuan glared at him. “In fact, I know that you’ve never blamed her, right? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have allowed her to move in.” She knew Fu Chengyan’s personality like the back of her hand by now. Although he seemed cold and aloof on the outside, whenever it came to his family, he was always kind. Be it Song Zhenyan or Fu Jiayu, he would always care about their welfare.

Fu Chengyan brows pulled together, but he didn’t say a word.

Shi Nuan laughed lightly. “Alright. I’ll go and take a shower now.”

After seeing Shi Nuan disappear into the room, Fu Chengyan remained rooted to the spot for a few beats. When he turned around, he found Song Zhenyan standing by the stairs, staring at him. He didn’t know how long she had been standing there. Her eyes were shimmering as she looked at Fu Chengyan, and she was about to say something when Fu Chengyan gave her a faint nod. “It’s getting late. You should rest earlier.”

As Fu Chengyan brushed past Song Zhenyan, he could feel her tremble slightly.

Fu Chengyan frowned, but calmly walked past her. On the other hand, Song Zhenyan stood there for a long time. Tears trickled down her cheeks as her emotions spiraled out of control. Although Fu Chengyan did not address her as his mother, God knew how long it had been since the mother and son pair had such a normal conversation.

Shi Nuan!

Just what kind of power does Shi Nuan possess, seeing that she is able to change my son, who had always been so cold?

Song Zhenyan did not get the answer to her question, but she knew that Fu Chengyan no longer hated her. Even if he did not call her ‘Mom’, she wouldn’t mind it. As long as she could see her son every day like that, she would be more than satisfied.

During the entire night that Shu Qing was locked in her room, she couldn’t sleep at all. The pain in her lower jaw was so intense that she couldn’t ignore it. Even so, she was unwilling to bow her head before Su Huaibei. That man was waiting for me to make a fool out of myself from the very beginning!

Su Huaibei is no longer the young man from twenty-five years ago. He’s a devil now. And me? Shu Qing looked at her worn-out face in the mirror. Laughter bubbled in her chest, but it couldn’t seem to get past her lips.

She still remembered the accusations that Su Huaibei had thrown at her. Even after all these years, those words still haunted her day and night.

However, things had already happened and they couldn’t change a thing.

The door to her room was soon opened. Su Huaibei had one hand on the doorknob when he saw Shu Qing sitting on the floor in front of a mirror. His eyes flashed with a dark gleam, but it vanished as soon as it appeared,

He strode into the room at a sluggish pace. The injury on one of his legs was what caused him to walk with an unattractive gait.

A man trailed along behind Su Huaibei. He had a smile on his face and a medical bag in one hand. When he saw Shu Qing’s appearance, something flashed in his eyes. “Uncle Huaibei, did you call me over this early in the morning to treat Aunt Qing?”

“Treat?” Su Huaibei gritted out the word. Then, he smiled. “Well, if you can treat mental illness, that’d be good!”

Shu Qing abruptly whipped her head up to shoot daggers at Su Huaibei, wanting so badly to maul his face. Despite her murderous gaze, Su Huaibei calmly looked at Su Shaoqing. “Just take a look at her!”

Su Shaoqing walked over and peered down at Shu Qing.

Due to her dislocated jaw not being reset for the whole night, Shu Qing’s face was swollen and beyond recognizable. Even after being told that this woman was Shu Qing, some might still have found it hard to believe. However, the frosty glint in Shu Qing’s eyes held heavy resentment.

Su Shaoqing crouched down and arched his lips into a smile at Shu Qing. “Aunt Qing, how could you have been so careless? It might be a little bit painful, so you’ll have to bear with me for a moment!” As he spoke, he made quick work with his hands. Before Shu Qing knew what was going on, she heard a crack, just as her dislocated jaw was fixed.

Even though Shu Qing’s jaw was now back in place, her face was still swollen.

Su Shaoqing smiled. “There. All done now. Refrain from eating for a few days and try not to speak as well. I’ll prescribe you some medication, Aunt Qing. Just take care of yourself and you’ll be as good as new!”
