Read Novel I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 557

Lin Shuqin froze as he could not believe that her own son would say something like that. “But, her background-”

“I wish to date her not because of her background, but because I love her. It doesn’t matter who she is; I just want to be with her. Mother, I’m hoping you’ll support me!” It was Su Shaoqing’s first time speaking to Lin Shuqin with a tone like this. Lin Shuqin still could not accept it. “Shaoqing-”

“Mother, it’s getting late. You should get some rest.” Ultimately, their conversation came to an abrupt end. Su Shaoqing didn’t mind if Lin Shuqin agreed or disagreed because no one could change his mind. No one, not even his biological mother.

On the other hand, Fu Ling wanted to ask about the shower in the bathroom with Su Shaoqing. She could not get the shower to work no matter how many times she tried.

She was on her way to the study and accidentally heard Su Shaoqing’s conversation with Lin Shuqin. Fu Ling was about to call out to him but stopped when she realized they were arguing. She then quickly returned to Su Shaoqing’s room.

She shut the door while the conversation replayed in her head. Fu Ling only smiled, and it was not a pleasant one. Her head dropped, and her fingers shivered. She sighed and went back into the bathroom after a while.

Fu Ling expected that she would not be able to fall asleep. In reality, she had been busy lately and was tired. After blowing her hair dry, she slept soundly on the bed.

It was late in the night when the bedroom door was pushed open. Su Shaoqing came in as his gaze fell on Fu Ling’s face. Even though it was dark, he could still see her face at a glance.

Since he had previously been trained in the army, his vision was exceptionally keen, as was his night vision. He approached Fu Ling and sat on the edge of the bed as he looked at Fu Ling’s sleeping face.

He reached out his hand, wanting to caress her. Just when his hand was near her cheek, he hesitated. In the darkness, he stared at Fu Ling as a feeling of nostalgia struck him. It was as if time had frozen in place.

Fu Ling had no idea Su Shaoqing had entered the room and was watching her sleep, nor did she realize he had been sitting on the bed the whole night.

When Fu Ling awoke the next morning, she could smell a familiar scent in the air but had no idea what it was. She then took a whiff of the blanket, and it had the same smell.

She frowned deeply but did nothing else. She quickly went to wash up and changed into the clothes Su Shaoqing had given her the day before.

To be honest, Lin Shuqin’s body was still in good shape despite her getting old. Fu Ling’s body was similar to Lin Shuqin’s, with the exception that Fu Ling was slightly taller.

Su Shaoqing had given her a cheongsam. Fu Ling, who came from a prestigious scholar family, adored cheongsam, especially custom-made ones. Knowing that, Su Shaoqing had asked Lin Shuqin to pick some of her cheongsams for Fu Ling. Despite her reluctance, Lin Shuqin chose two decent cheongsams that would look excellent on Fu Ling.

Fu Ling put on the clothes after taking a look at them. The clothes appeared to be brand new, and they unexpectedly fit her size.

Su Shaoqing’s room did not have a mirror. After looking around the room, she believed that Su Shaoqing rarely lived there, so the blanket and bedsheet had been recently cleaned.

Fu Ling came out of the room and saw that Su Shaoqing had just left the study. He, too, had changed into new and refreshing clothes. Su Shaoqing’s eyes flashed with amazement when he noticed her.

However, he hid his emotions when their eyes met. He then walked toward her and asked, “Did you sleep well yesterday?”

Fu Ling nodded. “Yeah!”

He gave a smile as his gaze returned to her body once again. This time, it was just simple admiration. “It’s beautiful!”

Her heart skipped a beat when she heard that. As they locked eyes with each other, her heart pounded slightly faster.

Fu Ling furrowed her brows as she clenched her fists tightly. She lifted her head and looked at Su Shaoqing calmly. “Well, Mrs. Su has good taste!”

Su Shaoqing pursed his lips, clearly annoyed by what she had just said. However, she did not intend to prolong her engagement with him. “Mr. Su, it’s getting late. I’ll head to work first.”

“Ling!” Su Shaoqing quickly grabbed her hand. “Have some breakfast before you go!”

Fu Ling frowned and replied, “No, I’m going to be late.”

Fu Ling did not forget how the Su family treated her. She also knew from the beginning that Lin Shuqin did not like her.

Staying at the Su residence was already her limit. Having breakfast with the Su family in the early morning was not something she could possibly do. Not to mention, although not being in a more urban area like the Fu residence, the Su residence was still far from the city. If Fu Ling ate breakfast, she would have difficulty calling a cab and would be late to work.

Su Shaoqing understood her intentions very well. He was also aware that he could not be impatient, so he just nodded. “Okay, then I’ll drive you.”

“It’s fine!”

“No. Either eat breakfast or let me send you to work!”
