I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 486

Shi Nuan paused before saying, “I’ll sit over there.” She pointed at the seat beside Su Yumin. Su Yumin, who was already exhausted by the series of events, waved to her when he heard the woman’s words. “Nuan, come to Grandpa.”

Shi Nuan smiled and walked over. “Grandpa.”

Su Yumin froze for a moment before coming back to his senses. He looked at his surroundings and then at Shi Nuan, it was as though he was making sure it was not a dream. When he saw Shi Nuan’s smile, his tears spilled. “Nuan.”

Shi Nuan’s change stunned Su Huainan and the other two Su family members. They, too, turned to look at Shi Nuan, who did not seem to have any difference in expression. In other words, it seemed like Shi Nuan had accepted the Su family.

Fu Chengyan’s bright eyes landed on Shi Nuan and the Su family members before he smiled. He then reached out to stroke his fingers through Shi Nuan’s hair. “Are you tired?” His voice was soft as a feather when he spoke.

Shi Nuan shook her head. “No.”

 

“All right.”

The surgery continued for another two hours before the surgeon came out. When he saw Su Shaoqing, he exclaimed, “Director, why are you here?”

 

“The patient in there is my uncle. How is he?”

“He’s been stabilized, but he can’t go through any more shock. Otherwise, the condition of his heart will worsen, and it’ll be difficult to deal with.” The surgeon answered truthfully. “He’s still in a coma, and he’ll be sent to the ICU.”

“Okay.”

Su Shaoqing nodded. “Thank you.”

“It’s nothing. He’ll be fine after a day.”

After the surgeon left, Su Shaoqing turned to look at the rest of his family. “Since Uncle Huaibei’s fine, everyone can go home to rest first. I’ll inform you of any updates about his condition.”

“Qing.” Su Yumin reached out to pat Su Shaoqing’s shoulder. “Get someone to watch over your Uncle Huaibei. I’ll send someone to take care of him tomorrow.”

“Of course.” Su Shaoqing nodded. “Grandpa, why don’t you head back with the rest of the family first?”

Su Yumin glanced at Shi Nuan. “Nuan, Grandpa’s old. I won’t be able to stay up all night.”

“Rest early, Grandpa.” Shi Nuan smiled at him. “We’ll visit you when we’re free.”

“Nuan, do you mean what you say?” Upon hearing her words, Su Yumin grabbed her hands excitedly. “You’re not lying to me, are you? Will you really visit me?”

Looking at Su Yumin’s tearful eyes, Shi Nuan nodded. “Yes. Yan and I will pick a day to visit you.”

“All right. Okay. Grandpa’s free all day. I’m retired and staying at home all the time. If you’re uncomfortable with your stay at the Fu family’s, you can visit me anytime.” Su Yumin was so delighted by Shi Nuan’s words that for a moment, he forgot his son was still in the ICU.

“Dad, let’s go home.” Both Su Yunwan and Su Yunqing were amused by their father’s reaction as they dragged him toward the exit.

After they left, Shi Nuan turned to look at Fu Chengyan. “You won’t blame me, will you?” Her cautious demeanor made Fu Chengyan’s heart softened. He reached out to gently rub Shi Nuan’s temple. “How can I? I told you before that I’ll respect your decision.”

“Hey, hey. Can the two of you stop having your PDA moment everywhere you go?” Su Shaoqing shot a scornful look at them. “Do you know where you are?”

Shi Nuan froze for a second. When she saw Shu Qing, who was still on the ground, she mouthed to Su Shaoqing, “What’s going on?”

“I’m guessing nothing important,” Su Shaoqing said dismissively. He could not muster any good thoughts when facing Shu Qing. He then patted Fu Chengyan’s shoulder. “Let’s have a talk.”

Fu Chengyan nodded. “I’ll look for you in a bit.”

“All right. I have something to attend to right now anyway.”

After Su Shaoqing left, Shi Nuan and Fu Chengyan shared a look. Fu Chengyan reached out to squeeze Shi Nuan’s hands, and she gave him a relaxed smile before stepping forward to look at Shu Qing.

As if she did not see Shi Nuan, her eyes continued to stare blearily at the spot in front of her.

Shi Nuan could see Shu Qing’s mouth opening and closing, but she did not know what the other woman was mumbling under her breath.

Shi Nuan then crouched down to look into Shu Qing’s eyes. At that moment, Shu Qing’s eyes widened as if she saw something horrifying. She quickly moved backward before staring at Shi Nuan, terrified. “Don’t come any closer.”

Shi Nuan’s brows knitted. “Shu Qing?”

Shu Qing froze. In the next moment, she came back to her senses, although her gaze still seemed unfocused, there was recognition in her eyes when she looked at Shi Nuan. An image flashed across her mind, and she glared at Shi Nuan. “Why are you here?”

Shi Nuan raised a brow. She could not help but feel amused at how quickly Shu Qing had changed her expressions. “It looks like being an actress is the perfect career for you.”

Shu Qing frowned. “What do you mean?”

“Nothing.” Shi Nuan sensed something was amiss about Shu Qing tonight, and she lost her interest in continuing the topic. Instead, she glanced at Shu Qing before smiling at her. “You’re a popular Hollywood actress. If someone were to take a photo of you like this in the hospital, it would be a piece of sensational news.”

Still frowning, Shu Qing lowered her head to look at herself before she hurriedly stood up. Perhaps she had been in the same position for too long, she stumbled when she rose. Luckily for her, Shi Nuan was there and the woman reached out to support her in time. “Are you okay?”
