Read Novel I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 583

Awkwardness filled the atmosphere within a split second, as no one had expected that Huo Ling would be so blunt. Evidently, Fu Ling did not expect Huo Ling to direct such a question to her either.

She was stunned and said nothing for a long time, but the movement of her hands turned faster. Judging from the situation, it was apparent that she had no intention to talk about Su Shaoqing. Huo Ling, however, did not let her off and continued to ask, “Fu Ling, you know Dr. Su, right? What do you think about him? Well, he looks like a player to me. Am I right?”

Fu Ling was getting rather annoyed as Huo Ling pestered her with the questions. Although she was stubborn, she usually remained silent and kept a low profile when many people were around. Others might even forget her existence sometimes. Yet, Huo Ling had made her the center of attention today.

In fact, not only Huo Ling, even others were curious about how Fu Ling and Su Shaoqing’s relationship went on.

Su Shaoqing, too, had his eyes fixed on Fu Ling. He wanted to give himself another chance if her answer gave even a flicker of hope about them.

Finally, Fu Ling paused and looked up at Huo Ling. “Are you interested in Mr. Su?” Momentarily stunned, Huo Ling stared at Fu Ling blankly. She could not fathom why Fu Ling would bring up her and Su Shaoqing. Su Shaoqing, though, felt exhilarated at Fu Ling’s words. Is she jealous? Apparently, she is!

But he soon felt his entire body turn cold upon hearing what she said next. “You may have a try if you’re interested in him. Although he appears to be insouciant, he’s actually a faithful guy and dated only one girl after so many years.”

Fu Ling was telling the truth. In the past, Su Shaoqing was indeed in a relationship with a woman. From what she had observed, she could tell that Su Shaoqing and the woman had a close relationship, and the two of them nearly got married. They would’ve married and had kids now if it were not because of me.

Having that thought in mind, she smiled while adding, “So, don’t judge a book by its cover. I think Mr. Su is actually a great guy.”

Her voice was soft, and she did not sound like she was joking.

Nevertheless, Huo Ling was shocked by her seriousness and hastily denied, “Stop saying nonsense, Fu Ling. I’m just curious about him and not interested in him. By the way, you seem to know Dr. Su well. Are you two close with each other?”

Fu Ling looked up at her. “Not really. It’s not a secret, anyway.” She smiled faintly, as though she was talking about someone who was not related to her at all. “Since you’re not interested in him, there’s no point to knowing more.”

As soon as she finished her words, she lowered her head and continued to wrap the dumplings. Pin-drop silence ensued in the spacious living room instantly. Although Huo Ling knew nothing, she could sense the tense atmosphere and scanned the surroundings. It was then that she saw Su Shaoqing’s otherwise harmless and carefree face darkened.

Puzzled, she followed his gaze and noticed that he was staring at Fu Ling intently. Why is he staring at Fu Ling?

Sensing something was off, Huo Ling wanted to say something, but Pei Huan tugged at her before she could. Shaking her head, Pei Huan said, “Come, we are not done with the dumplings yet. Ms. Huo, you can’t wrap the dumpling like this. Let me show you.” Upon seeing that, Fu Ling was relieved and did not join their conversation again.

Despite that, Su Shaoqing continued to fix his gaze on Fu Ling and only stood up after a long time. “I’m going out for a while.”

He then walked past the others and exited the Wutong Residence without taking another glance at her. Hanging her head, Fu Ling clenched her fists as she tried to hold back her emotions. It took her a long time to regain her composure.

Shi Nuan and Pei Huan witnessed the scene. Naturally, they knew that Fu Ling was suppressing her feelings. However, it was her decision. There was nothing they could do but look at the doorway helplessly.

People found Su Shaoqing to be friendly and playful, and it was rare to see him being so aloof and calm. But Pei Huan knew that Su Shaoqing was gloomy when he was together with Fu Ling. Although Fu Ling feared him in those days, she could not help but get close to him.

Pei Huan had always felt that the two were incompatible, and she did not know about the incident between them. She only learned about it afterward, but everything was too late by then.

“Ling!”

Fu Ling looked up with an empty gaze. Hearing Pei Huan calling her, she looked at the former expressionlessly. “What’s up?”

Pei Huan shook her head. “Nothing.” Fu Ling grunted in response.

After Su Shaoqing came out of the Wutong Residence, he stood still in the courtyard outside. The courtyard was empty and dark, with only a hint of light inside the house.

He leaned against a phoenix tree, holding a cigarette between his fingers. The cigarette was lit, but he did not smoke it.

The situation just now made him feel extremely uncomfortable. He could feel something was welling up in his chest and tried to release it but to no avail.

In truth, Su Shaoqing had never expected that Fu Ling would be more ruthless than him when she decided to walk away. I’m harsh when I threaten her, but what about her? How could she neglect me and say those words in such a light-hearted manner? She even tried to push me to another woman. Perhaps she’s no longer in love with me. Otherwise, how could she be so calm when saying those words?

He knew that she could not be faulted for that, as he had treated her without care when she chase after him wholeheartedly back then. Now that she had let go of him, it was his turn to stop bugging her.
