I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 126

“This girl sure can put on an act!”

Su Shaoqing spent a long time watching the surveillance footage. A profound smile formed in his eyes as he heard Shi Wei’s words. “Right, Zhou Zheng?”

“That’s right!” Zhou Zheng turned to Su Shaoqing. “What will you do now, Mr. Su?”

“That’s enough. Whatever that is meant to happen will happen. I’m just here to watch the fun. It’s getting late, so I’ll be heading back now!”

Su Shaoqing patted his clothes and walked away, as though he had nothing to do with everything that just happened.

Meanwhile, Fu Chengyan brought Shi Nuan to Su Shaoqing’s private hospital. The staff here had received word that Fu Chengyan would be heading over, so they were waiting for his arrival and they immediately rushed over as they saw Fu Chengyan arrive with a woman in his arms. “Mr. Fu!”

Fu Chengyan responded with a grunt and exited the car. He looked at the doctor while holding onto Shi Nuan. “She’s been bitten by a snake. Find out if her blood has been cleansed of the poison!”

“What…” The doctor immediately looked at Shi Nuan’s wound. “Put this lady down, Mr. Fu. We’ll give her a check-up right now!”

The injury on Shi Nuan’s leg had been cleaned, but to prevent the possibility of toxins remaining inside her, the doctors recommended for her to be observed throughout the night. If nothing were to happen by morning, then she would truly be fine.

It was a long and nerve-wracking night, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief when Shi Nuan finally woke up the next morning.

Shi Nuan felt heavy-headed the entire night and woke up to find herself in the hospital. As she sat up to look around, she felt warmth on her forehead. Lifting her head, she saw Fu Chengyan standing right in front of her with a grim expression. “You’re still feverish.”

Shi Nuan pursed her lips and Fu Chengyan immediately poured her a cup of water. “How do you feel?”

Shi Nuan slowly regained her senses after drinking the water. “Why am I in a hospital?” she asked Fu Chengyan before remembering what happened last night. “Yesterday’s incident…”

“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of it!” Fu Chengyan took the cup and touched Shi Nuan’s forehead. “Let me know if you don’t feel good anywhere!”

Shi Nuan placed her hand on top of Fu Chengyan’s, gently lowered both their hands and shook her head. “I’m doing great. I’m fine now.”

She remembered what happened last night and how she had been bitten by a snake. Shi Nuan lifted the blanket and sighed gently as she looked at her leg wrapped in bandages.

Fu Chengyan’s chest tightened slightly as he saw how tired Shi Nuan looked. He reached out to hold Shi Nuan’s hand. “I couldn’t protect you.”

Hearing Fu Chengyan blame himself, Shi Nuan quickly shook her head. She might have looked pale, but she was now feeling much more energetic than before. “How could you be blamed for this? It had nothing to do with you. No one knew that such a thing would’ve happened last night!” said Shi Nuan. “Do you know who did it?”

“Yeah. I’ve already asked Zhou Zheng to check it out. Leave this to me, OK?” Fu Chengyan lifted Shi Nuan’s hand and gave it a kiss. “You need some rest.”

Shi Nuan nodded then continued, “Umm… This incident probably has something to do with Shi Wei and her…”

“That’s enough. Since you’ve agreed to let me take care of this, I’ll handle it well. You don’t have to think too much about it.”

“But…” Shi Nuan was hesitant. She had never gotten along with Shi Wei, but she couldn’t understand why the latter always went after her, especially right now. “Aren’t she and Fu Xicheng about to get married already?”

“Married?” Fu Chengyan curled his lips. “Speaking of which, I think it’s about time I gave her something to do. It’s annoying if she’s constantly keeping an eye on you.”

Fu Chengyan arranged for the doctor to examine Shi Nuan, and was relieved to learn that all the toxins had left her body.

Song Rongrong and Su Yian dropped by only when it was afternoon, not because they weren’t worried about her, but because with Fu Chengyan around, they didn’t even have a chance to worry about Shi Nuan. When they approached Fu Chengyan, he told them Shi Nuan needed to rest, making it obvious that he didn’t want them bothering her.

Still, Shi Nuan overheard them speaking and told her friends she was alright now.

“Oh, Chengyan is so worried about you!” Song Rongrong exclaimed. “You should’ve seen how handsome he looked last night.”

Song Rongrong’s eyes shone as she spoke, “How lucky you are to stumble upon such a good husband!” She sounded full of envy.

Shi Nuan and Su Yian smiled at each other. They had long gotten used to Song Rongrong’s behavior. As they shook their heads and watched Song Rongrong put on a show, Su Yian opened up a thermal container. “I made you some soup. I know you don’t have much of an appetite now, but you should still take good care of your body.”

“She’s right, Nuan,” Song Rongrong chimed in while nodding fervently. “An has been boiling this soup all morning and wouldn’t even let me have some!” She pouted with her eyes full of hope. Shi Nuan smiled and passed her bowl to Song Rongrong. “Then you can have some.”

“It’s fine.” Song Rongrong pushed Shi Nuan’s hand away and observed the room they were in. “Tsk tsk, this is a top-tier ward! Chengyan sure is generous,” she said. “Speaking of Chengyan, where is he?”

Eventually, Li Heng scoffed, “Don’t think I wouldn’t dare punch you, Chengyan!”

Fu Chengyan curled his lips slightly as he tapped his own kneecaps with his slender fingers. “Is this what you should be saying to your own brother-in-law? Aren’t you afraid I’d say something to her?”

Li Heng’s eyes were full of hostility, but eventually suppressed himself. “She has already left!” The corner of his lips twitched slightly. “This is the last time I’ll put up with you,” he said and paused for a moment before speaking again. “An Chengyu is here!”

Fu Chengyan lifted his head, suppressing the emotions in his eyes. He then got up, walked to Li Heng’s side and patted the man on the shoulder. “My uncle and aunt are waiting for her to come back too. If you don’t give up and just keep waiting, she’ll come back one day.”

Fu Chengyan then retracted his arm and glanced at Zhou Zheng. “Give Anna back to An Chenyu.”

“Uhh…” Zhou Zheng was puzzled. “So we’re just letting Anna go like this?”

Zhou Zheng couldn’t understand. Under normal circumstances, Fu Chengyan wouldn’t let her live, considering what she had done. This was the first time Fu Chengyan was being so merciful. “But Mr. Fu, she…”

“Let her go,” Fu Chengyan said with a flick of his wrist. “Tell him: if he doesn’t know how to educate that sister of his, I wouldn’t mind doing it for him.” Fu Chengyan had no trace of warmth in his voice. He then turned to Zhou Zheng and added, “Cease collaborations with An Group.”

Looking up in shock, Zhou Zheng immediately understood and declared, “I’ll hand her over to An Chenyu at once. I surely won’t disappoint you, Mr. Fu.” Then, he readily walked away.

Meanwhile, Li Heng raised an eyebrow and looked at Liang Lin, asking, “Who do you even work for?”

Liang Lin immediately straightened his back and clenched his butt cheeks. “Of course I belong to you, Mr. Li! Hehehe!” he said, trying to flatter his boss.

Li Heng squinted and responded while casting Fu Chengyan a glance, “I thought you were intending to serve someone else.”

“I wouldn’t dare!” Liang Lin was about to cry. “Weren’t you the one who told me to follow Mr. Fu temporarily, Mr. Li?”

Fu Chengyan let out a cough and glanced at Liang Lin solemnly, causing the latter to immediately stop talking.

Li Heng curled his lips and patted Fu Chengyan on the shoulder. “Relax. Your old man doesn’t know about your marriage yet, does he? Won’t he find out if you cause such a stir?”
