Read Novel I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 556

Su Shaoqing naturally noticed the hidden meaning in Fu Ling’s words. He was about to say something, but he realized that the time was not right since he had not grabbed hold of her yet. “I’ll take you there. It’s just beside my room!”

After saying that, Su Shaoqing immediately grabbed Fu Ling’s arm before she could even react. Fu Ling tried to put up a fight, but Su Shaoqing didn’t give her any chance to do so. Then, she heard Su Shaoqing say, “Mother, Aunt Su, I’ll be bringing Ling upstairs to rest.”

After saying that, Su Shaoqing grabbed Fu Ling’s hands and went upstairs without even looking at Lin Shuqin and Su Yunwan’s reactions. After Su Shaoqing and Fu Ling went upstairs, Lin Shuqin looked upset as she clutched her teacup tightly. Su Yunwan took a look at Lin Shuqin and commented, “It’s rare to see you like this.”

Lin Shuqin frowned and grumbled, “It’s all right if he chooses anyone else, but why did he have to choose her?”

Su Yunwan raised her eyebrow and responded, “It’s a good thing that he’s willing to bring her home. Do you want him to stay single forever?”

However, Lin Shuqin was still upset. “But that girl doesn’t suit him! She’s a cunning woman!” Su Yunwan knew what Lin Shuqin was thinking about. “But Shaoqing likes her. Besides, the event that happened all those years ago-”

Lin Shuqin became even more frustrated when she thought about it. “That’s enough, Yunwan! She’s such a cunning woman. I already knew that she didn’t suit Shaoqing when she set him up before. I thought Shaoqing would meet a better woman when she finally left, but look at what happened now?” she lamented.

Su Yunwan tapped Lin Shuqin’s hand and comforted her. “We can’t rush these things. I think Shaoqing hasn’t settled on her yet. They haven’t married yet anyway, so there’s no need to be so anxious.”

After hearing that, Lin Shuqin could only hide her frustration.

How can I not be anxious? Su Yunwan said Su Shaoqing hasn’t settled on her yet, but he has already brought her home!

Meanwhile, Su Shaoqing was taking Fu Ling upstairs. As they turned around a corner, Fu Ling slapped Su Shaoqing’s hand away. She gave Su Shaoqing a dirty look as she went past him and headed upstairs.

Su Shaoqing frowned. Looking at his empty palm, this was the first time that he had a feeling of emptiness in his heart. However, he didn’t think much about it as he hurried up the stairs to catch up with Fu Ling. He brought her to a room beside his and said, “You’ll sleep in my room tonight while I’ll sleep in the room next door.”

“No. I’ll sleep in the room next door,” Fu Ling turned him down without any hesitation.

She knew she was already pushing it when she came to the Su residence, so there was no way she would sleep in Su Shaoqing’s room. Moreover, ever since she returned from abroad, she had no plans to develop her relationship with Su Shaoqing, so she turned him down.

However, Su Shaoqing laughed and asked, “The room next door is my study. Do you want to sleep in my study?”

Fu Ling frowned and snapped, “Then, bring me to the guest room!”

“The guest room is not cleaned yet. Besides, it’s late now, so it would be inappropriate and inconvenient to ask the servants to clean up the room,” Su Shaoqing said.

Fu Ling didn’t look pleased when she heard that. “Then, bring me back to the mansion!” she snapped.

Su Shaoqing’s face darkened, and he asked, “What are you afraid of, Ling?”

Fu Ling remained silent as she looked at Su Shaoqing. He took the opportunity to get close to Fu Ling and asked, “Are you scared that you’ll fall in love with me again?”

Su Shaoqing was getting too close to her that she could feel his warm breath on her neck. His familiar smell surrounded her, and she didn’t know how to react. She blushed as she pushed Su Shaoqing away. “You’re so full of yourself. I won’t fall for the same trick twice! Su Shaoqing, it’s over between us, or should I say, we never even started anything before!”

Fu Ling’s words were heartless and cold. She looked at Su Shaoqing, but her eyes lacked the passion they had all those years ago.

When Su Shaoqing noticed that Fu Ling was looking at him lovingly all those years ago, he turned her down repeatedly and hurt her. He even said something nasty to hurt her feelings and got her to stay away from him.

Su Shaoqing had seen the love in Fu Ling’s eyes countless times, so he would never forget it. However, there was none of that in Fu Ling’s eyes right now.

In the past, Su Shaoqing could deceive himself and insisted that Fu Ling was only pretending not to love him. However, this was the first time he felt afraid when he looked at Fu Ling’s cold and heartless eyes. “Ling-” Su Shaoqing called out to her as he grabbed her arm.

Fu Ling didn’t resist. Instead, she looked at Su Shaoqing impassively and said, “Mr. Su, do you think I’m still the naive and pathetic girl from before?”

She looked down at Su Shaoqing’s hand which was holding her and mocked, “Mr. Su, what are you doing? Please don’t forget. I may be an illegitimate child, but I’m still Fu Chengyan’s sister and a member of the Fu clan. You are even friends with my brother. Do you think it’s appropriate for you to lay your hands on me in private?” There was hurt in Su Shaoqing’s eyes as he let go of her. “Ling, are you still blaming me? I-”

Fu Ling stared at Su Shaoqing and said, “I would gladly accept since you offered me your room. Mr. Su, it’s late, and I’m getting tired.”
