I Want A Lifetime With You

Chapter 583 To Live Without Her

Awkwardness filled the atmosphere within a split second, as no one had expected that Huo Ling would be so blunt. Evidently, Fu Ling did not expect Huo Ling to direct such a question to her either.

She was stunned and said nothing for a long time, but the movement of her hands turned faster. Judging from the situation, it was apparent that she had no intention to talk about Su Shaoqing. Huo Ling, however, did not let her off and continued to ask, “Fu Ling, you know Dr. Su, right? What do you think about him? Well, he looks like a player to me. Am I right?”

Fu Ling was getting rather annoyed as Huo Ling pestered her with the questions. Although she was stubborn, she usually remained silent and kept a low profile when many people were around. Others might even forget her existence sometimes. Yet, Huo Ling had made her the center of attention today.

In fact, not only Huo Ling, even others were curious about how Fu Ling and Su Shaoqing’s relationship went on.

Su Shaoqing, too, had his eyes fixed on Fu Ling. He wanted to give himself another chance if her answer gave even a flicker of hope about them.

Finally, Fu Ling paused and looked up at Huo Ling. “Are you interested in Mr. Su?”

Momentarily stunned, Huo Ling stared at Fu Ling blankly. She could not fathom why Fu Ling would bring up her and Su Shaoqing. Su Shaoqing, though, felt exhilarated at Fu Ling’s words. Is she jealous? Apparently, she is!

But he soon felt his entire body turn cold upon hearing what she said next. “You may have a try if you’re interested in him. Although he appears to be insouciant, he’s actually a faithful guy and dated only one girl after so many years.”

Fu Ling was telling the truth. In the past, Su Shaoqing was indeed in a relationship with a woman. From what she had observed, she could tell that Su Shaoqing and the woman had a close relationship, and the two of them nearly got married. They would’ve married and had kids now if it were not because of me.

Having that thought in mind, she smiled while adding, “So, don’t judge a book by its cover. I think Mr. Su is actually a great guy.”

Her voice was soft, and she did not sound like she was joking.

Nevertheless, Huo Ling was shocked by her seriousness and hastily denied, “Stop saying nonsense, Fu Ling. I’m just curious about him and not interested in him. By the way, you seem to know Dr. Su well. Are you two close with each other?”

Fu Ling looked up at her. “Not really. It’s not a secret, anyway.” She smiled faintly, as though she was talking about someone who was not related to her at all. “Since you’re not interested in him, there’s no point to knowing more.”

As soon as she finished her words, she lowered her head and continued to wrap the dumplings. Pin-drop silence ensued in the spacious living room instantly. Although Huo Ling knew nothing, she could sense the tense atmosphere and scanned the surroundings. It was then that she saw Su Shaoqing’s otherwise harmless and carefree face darkened.

Puzzled, she followed his gaze and noticed that he was staring at Fu Ling intently. Why is he staring at Fu Ling?
