I Want A Lifetime With You

Chapter 581 Wishful Thinking

The living room was thronged with people. Although Fu Ling was caught off guard by Su Shaoqing’s appearance, she was an extremely calm and collected person, just as Fu Chengyan had described. Thus, she would not behave unseemly in front of so many people. Even so, she would not take the initiative to please those people.

Pei Huan felt distressed upon seeing that. She cast a meaningful look at Shi Nuan, who also felt at a loss. After all, they were not directly involved in their affairs. Even if they wanted to help, it was still dependent on Fu Ling’s decision.

“I’ll head upstairs first.” Fu Ling did not want to stay there any longer. “I’m a little tired.”

“Ling!” When Pei Huan saw her heading upstairs to avoid Su Shaoqing, she, too, made a move in resignation. “You guys carry on. I’ll check on Ling. After all, we are friends and also family.”

As she spoke, she glanced at Su Shaoqing. At the sight of the man’s grim expression, she reckoned it had to be because of Fu Ling’s attitude.

Li Heng walked over and patted Su Shaoqing’s shoulder. “You still have plenty of time!”

However, Su Shaoqing sneered and got Li Heng’s hand off his shoulder.

Naturally, he knew Fu Ling did not wish to see him.

Despite being fully aware of that fact, he still could not suppress the impulse to meet her. In a way, he was cognizant of the inconsistency of his behavior. Back when Fu Ling pursued him without a sense of shame, he never reciprocated her feelings. Worse yet, he treated her in that way cruelly.

Even when he knew his family’s attitude toward her, he still never bothered to care for her. Instead, he allowed the elders of his family to bully and degrade her.

Initially, he thought that by doing so, there would be no more possibility between the two of them.

It was not until Su Shaoqing saw the frightening red pool of blood beneath Fu Ling that he finally realized what he had done and missed out on. However, everything was too late by then. He wanted to make it up to her, but she was no longer the person who pursued him in the early days.

Indeed, it was impossible for her to love him again after the agony he had inflicted on her.

If not for Bai’s illness, Fu Ling might not see him for the rest of their lifetimes.

Although Fu Ling did not want to spoil their fun, certain things were like poisons. Regardless of how long it had passed, she could still feel the pain. She could not curb them, so she could only refrain from triggering them.

At the same time, she knew what Su Shaoqing had in his mind, but it was all in the past, and she was not the same person anymore.
