I Want A Lifetime With You

Shu Qing practically fled as if her life depended on it. She couldn’t tell where her fear had stemmed from, but one thing she knew was that she was afraid of facing Shi Nuan.

She sat in the car, gazing off into the distance. When her manager saw the look on her face, his brows furrowed slightly. “Ms. Shu, you really shouldn’t have spoken to Ms. Shi in such a manner just now!”

“Then tell me, how exactly should I have spoken?” Shu Qing sneered. “You knew from the beginning that Shi Nuan was going to come, didn’t you?”

Shu Qing’s eyes bored into her manager, but the latter shifted his gaze away instead.

The manager’s reaction was enough of an answer for Shu Qing. “You clearly knew that I didn’t want to see her. So why did you take me there anyway?”

“Ms. Shu, unless you don’t want to develop in Z Nation anymore, you’ll have to see her one way or another. Not just today, but even in the future if she wants to meet you. There’s really no way for you to reject her invitation!”

“You…”

“Don’t forget, Ms. Shu. You still have to rely on Xinhuang now, and Xinhuang belongs to Shengyuan. You should know your priorities well. Besides, turning back isn’t an option. There’s no way for you to go back there anymore.”

“Enough!” Shu Qing cut her manager off. “You don’t need to keep reminding me. I know my own past better than anyone else. Aren’t you just waiting to watch me turn into a joke? Not just you, but Su Huaibei too. You’re merely Su Huaibei’s dog!”

Her manager snorted coldly, but remained silent otherwise.

He dropped Shu Qing off at the Su family’s residence. Then, he reported everything to Su Huaibei. Su Huaibei had a dark expression on his face. No one could determine the thoughts that were running through his mind.

“You can go now. Come here again tomorrow.”

After dismissing the manager, Su Huaibei remained in his study for a while longer before heading to Shu Qing’s room. Shu Qing was taking a shower in the bathroom. It was as though she was trying to scrub off a thick layer of dirt on her skin. She only came out after one full hour.

The moment she exited the bathroom, she was met with the sight of Su Huaibei standing on the balcony. She walked toward him as if she were in a trance. With a towel in her hands, she lifted them up. In that transient moment, countless scenarios emerged in Shu Qing’s mind.

Push him. Push him down. All of your pain and troubles will cease to exist.

However, Shu Qing’s hands froze midair. Her whole body trembled, but she did not dare to move any closer.

Her eyes seemed to shimmer with a layer of mist as she gazed at the man in front of her. She only needed to steel herself and push with all her might, and this man would undoubtedly die. Even if he didn’t, he would be bedridden for the rest of his life.

The whispers of the devil on her shoulder seemed to almost drown out everything else, and she felt overwhelmed by her poisonous thoughts.

Su Huaibei had been looking straight ahead the whole time, not seeming to have sensed Shu Qing’s presence.

This opportunity was one in a million. If she failed to grab it, it would slip out of her reach forever.
