I Want A Lifetime With You

Fu Ling denied it immediately, but that only increased Su Shaoqing’s suspicions. “I haven’t even said anything yet. Why are you already so nervous?”

Fu Ling pursed her lips and replied, “I didn’t want you to jump to your own conclusions. It’s true that you aren’t his biological father—otherwise, I would’ve come knocking on your door to ask you to be his bone marrow donor, wouldn’t I?” Fu Ling retorted. She gazed unblinkingly at Su Shaoqing and continued, “Don’t wrack your brains about it anymore. The child for three years ago has already passed away.”

Su Shaoqing’s hand tightened around the steering wheel, the green veins throbbing beneath his skin.

Fu Ling continued to rattle on, completely ignorant of the effect her words had on Su Shaoqing. The man tried his best to hold in his emotions, but upon hearing Fu Ling’s words, the sound of a baby’s cry rang in his ears again. His face turned white as sheet, and he took a deep breath to calm himself down.

Fu Ling finally realized the odd expression on Su Shaoqing’s face. She turned her head and looked at him, frowning. “What’s the matter with you?”

Su Shaoqing pressed his lips together. He looked up and saw Fu Ling’s anxious face staring back at his own. Smiling a little, he reached out a hand to caress Fu Ling’s face, but she ducked away immediately. Su Shaoqing’s hand remained in the air, making him look rather foolish. He gazed at Fu Ling and smiled awkwardly before saying, “Nothing!”

“Nothing’s good.” Fu Ling turned away and started typing furiously away on her phone. Suddenly, she heard the man next to her say, “Ling, I’m sorry!”

A shiver ran down Fu Ling’s spine. Her fingers tightened around her phone momentarily before she raised her head and smiled gently at Su Shaoqing. “Why are you sorry?”

“Back then… I…”

“Actually, Mr. Su, you don’t have to take it to heart. It’s been so many years, after all. Besides, what happened then was never your fault, to begin with. If I hadn’t imagined that you liked me back and put all my heart into loving you, nothing like that would’ve happened. Thus, everything that befell me was my own fault; none of it has anything to do with you!”

Fu Ling turned around and gazed at him. As they stopped and waited at a traffic light, she looked at his eyes and saw that they no longer held any hint of emotion in them. This was what she had hoped for a long time ago, but now that her wish had come true, Fu Ling felt a little depressed.

Fu Ling wasn’t the same woman as before, and this knowledge frightened Su Shaoqing a little. He swallowed, causing his Adam’s apple to bob up and down. Though Fu Ling was right next to him, she seemed worlds away.

“You…”

“Mr. Su, the light has turned green!”

Fu Ling’s words jolted Su Shaoqing out of his reverie. He snapped out his daze and smiled weakly at her. “Where do you live?”
