I Want A Lifetime With You

Su Shaoqing’s expression changed and he was noticeably annoyed. With a stern face, he said, “You stay out of my business!”

“I’m your mother! Who’s there to mind you if I don’t?” Lin Shuqin was peeved upon hearing Su Shaoqing’s words. “I’ve let you be in any way you wanted in the past but this matter has to be the exception!”

Lin Shuqin was also a hard-nosed woman. “There’re so many girls out there, why does it have to be Fu Ling? I thought you dislike her before?”

“What?” Su Shaoqing curled his lips, but the smile on his face was icy. “I don’t even know what it means to like someone. But there’s one thing for sure; since she’s back now, I can’t let her go this time. That’s what I owe her.”

“But sympathy is not the same as love, Shaoqing!” Lin Shuqin massaged her temples in frustration. “Do you understand? Remember how you’ve fooled around when you were young? Have your dad and I ever restricted you from doing anything you wanted? Yet, this matter is different. You should never have toyed with her feelings come what may. Now that you’re all square, why are you pestering her again?”

“All square?” Su Shaoqing lifted his head. There was an utter bleak expression on his face, sending chills down the spine of anyone who set eyes upon it. His dark eyes fixated on Lin Shuqin. “I owe her a life. We’ll never be even. That’s enough. Since you’ve never meddled with my business when I was young, don’t you interfere now. It’s getting late, I should go back now.”

“Stop right there!” Lin Shuqin was exasperated. “Just where did you get this temper from? Go back? Where are you going? This is your home!”

Su Shaoqing paused in his tracks but he did not stop.

Home?

To Su Shaoqing, it didn’t really matter where he was. When he was young and naive, he did not like to be home because he did not want to be restrained. Now, he did not miss going home because Fu Ling was not there. The only place he could call “home” was where Fu Ling was.

Su Shaoqing did not know what “love” was, but he was willing to be with Fu Ling for the rest of his life.

Su Shaoqing left the Su Residence and sat in the car for a long time. He smoked a cigarette and until it was entirely dark outside, he took out his phone and made a call to Fu Ling. “Are you going home?”

Fu Ling was keeping Bai’s company at the hospital. She did not intend to pick it up when she saw that it was a call from Su Shaoqing. However, Bai reached out, took her phone and pressed on the “answer” button, and even turned on the speaker mode. Su Shaoqing’s voice barged in abruptly.

Fu Ling was slightly stunned and before she could answer, Bai asked, “Mommy, is this uncle pursuing you?”

Fu Ling paused and looked at Bai with mixed feelings. “Do you understand the meaning of the word ‘pursuing’?”

“I do!” Bai nodded and looked at Fu Ling with a slightly puzzled expression. “There’re many uncles pursuing Mommy when we were abroad. But Mommy never liked them!”

Su Shaoqing, who was on the line, was dumbfounded when he heard Bai’s childlike voice. But as he listened to their conversation, fury started creeping into his dark eyes.

“Silly boy!”

with a timid expression which made Fu Ling yielded instantly. How could I be angry with him? With her eyes brimming with tears, Fu Ling said, “I’m sorry Bai, it’s all Mommy’s fault!” She could have sent Bai for treatment if she had the money back then, or she could have gone to Qin Yanzhi earlier if she had realized Bai’s illness, and then Bai wouldn’t have ended up in this condition. At the end of the day, it’s because of my selfishness and
