I Want A Lifetime With You

Feeling mortified, Shi Nuan stiffened. Without any expression on her face, she uttered, “What?” No! This is impossible!

Su Huaibei knew this news would come as a massive shock to Shi Nuan. Even he himself had found it hard to digest when he first came to know about it, let alone Shi Nuan. He had taken a long time before he could finally accept the truth.

Shi Nuan suddenly had no idea where to place her hands. She stared at Su Huaibei and rubbed her hands anxiously. “You must be kidding me,” she uttered with an awkward chuckle.

“No, I’m not.” Su Huaibei shook his head. “In fact, I only came to know about this only a few days ago. I’ve been contemplating on whether to tell you this for the past few days, and I’ve decided that you have the right to know about this.”

“So, you mean Shen Qianan and I are both your children?”

Su Huaibei nodded firmly. This time, Shi Nuan was rendered speechless.

She had no idea what to feel about her biological parents.

She wasn’t even sure whether she should be furious at them or not. She wanted to react the same as Shen Qianan was towards Shu Qing at the press conference earlier, but she didn’t feel as furious as Shen Qianan was right then. Probably because she had next to no memory about Su Huaibei and Shu Qing, she harbored no other feelings towards her stranger-like parents.

Of course, Shi Nuan also had no idea what Shen Qianan actually felt back then. How will I actually feel if I found out that my father, whom I’ve lived with and thought to be mine, is actually not my biological father?

Shi Nuan chuckled bitterly. How kind of me. I could hardly digest my own emotions, yet I’m here worrying about Shen Qianan’s mental state.

“Then, what’s your motive in telling me this?”

“You two are sisters related by blood, so I want to-”

“You want to reunite with Shen Qianan as well? To atone for your absence in our lives and not fulfilling your role as a father?” Shi Nuan interjected. She curled her lips when she saw the surprise flashing across Su Huaibei’s face. “But has it ever occur to you that maybe both Shen Qianan and I do not need your atonement at all?”

“I-”

“You shouldn’t be telling me this now. What you should do is to explain this to Shen Qianan herself. I suggest you meet up with her and tell her this yourself once you recover. I cannot help you with this.”

Shi Nuan adjusted her shirt and turned to Su Huaibei. “I’ve asked Shaoqing, and he said you’ll be discharged in a few days’ time. Since you’re doing well, I shall take my leave first. I have matters to settle back home.”

“Nuan!”

Su Huaibei called out to her when he saw her leaving. “You don’t want to accept Qianan as your sister, right? I know some conflict happened between the two of you, so I-”

“You’ve misunderstood me,” Shi Nuan cut him off. “I’ve said before that I am willing to accept you as my father because you want to atone for your absence, and it just so happen that I am not against that. But that doesn’t mean I will accept anyone to be my family, be it Shu Qing or Shen Qianan. After all, this is your business and not mine, isn’t that so?”

With that, Shi Nuan left promptly, leaving Su Huaibei to contemplate her words.
