I Want A Lifetime With You

Fu Ling’s eyes shot open in fright, only to find herself staring straight into Su Shaoqing’s eyes.

She jumped and shot away from him immediately. She had just had a nightmare, and it had taken an obvious toll on her body—beads of sweat were appearing on her forehead. Fu Ling looked up and wiped her forehead dry. She turned to look at Su Shaoqing and swallowed. “You…” Glancing around her, Fu Ling realized that they were at the villa he was telling her about just now. “Have we arrived?”

Su Shaoqing nodded. “Yes, we have.”

Su Shaoqing turned to look at her again. Passing her a few pieces of tissue paper, he joked, “Here, wipe your sweat with this! What were you dreaming about?”

Fu Ling took the tissue paper from him and gripped them tightly. After a short silence, she replied, “I had a nightmare!”

She tried to laugh it off. “It’s been going on for a few years. I’m quite used to it by now.”

She sounded very nonchalant about it, as though she didn’t care at all. “When did we get here?”

“We just arrived!” Su Shaoqing felt his heart break a little as he looked at her. He reached out his hand as though to caress something, but Fu Ling didn’t give him that chance. She opened the car door and walked out to the boot of the car. “Hey! Where’s my luggage?”

“Liang Lin has brought it into the house for you.”

“Liang Lin? When did he get here?” Fu Ling hadn’t realized it at all.

Su Shaoqing smiled and got out of the car too. “You were sleeping so soundly that I felt a little sorry to wake you up. Right. What do you want to eat for dinner?”

Fu Ling glanced at him suspiciously. “I don’t feel like eating anything. Where’s my room?”

“Follow me!”

Su Shaoqing led her into the house but turning around to look worriedly at Fu Ling, who was trailing behind him. As they made their way to the door, Su Shaoqing told her all about the history of the place. “Li Heng built this place a few years ago. Originally, his plan was to move in here with Pei Huan, but many unfortunate things happened, leading to a delay in those plans. His house is right over there. It’s just next to ours, so in the future…”

Su Shaoqing continued to chatter excitedly, and Fu Ling pretended to listen to him. Truthfully, she couldn’t really understand what he was saying. She kept telling herself not to think nor care about these things. She never thought for a second that Su Shaoqing was doing all this for her sake.

After all, Su Shaoqing’s attitude towards her had been very clear back then. If he had any sort of romantic feelings toward her, Su Shaoqing would never have treated her so horribly.
