I Want a Lifetime with You
Chapter 127

Fu Chengyan frowned slightly at Li Heng. Li Heng squinted in return, but said nothing more.

After taking care of things here, Fu Chengyan headed straight to the hospital. Shi Nuan happened to be resting while Song Rongrong and Su Yian sat next to her. The two friends felt guilty for not being alert last night, despite clearly knowing that Shi Wei and Anna harbored ill intentions towards Shi Nuan.

Even though Shi Nuan was out of danger now, Song Rongrong still felt that things wouldn't have turned out this way if she had been more careful herself.

Seeing Shi Nuan began to fall asleep, Song Rongrong pulled onto Su Yian's arm and the two quietly left the room.

"What's wrong?" Su Yian asked as she noticed Song Rongrong's behavior. "Is there something you want to say?"

Song Rongrong pursed her lips. "Shi Wei and Anna really went too far this time. They used a poisonous snake! Who knows what would've happened to Shi Nuan if Qin Yue hadn't shown up on time!" Just the thought of Shi Wei using a snake to harm her own sister made Song Rongrong feel utterly disgusted.

Su Yian was always a docile person, but that didn't mean she couldn't be angered. Su Yian and Shi Nuan were alike. They would never cause any trouble on their own accord, but if someone were to cause them trouble, they wouldn't back down. It was clear that Shi Wei and Anna had crossed the line this time. "What are you planning? Tell me!"

"You know what I'm like. I'm going to teach them a lesson no matter what."

"There's no need!"

A cold voice rang out from behind Song Rongrong. She turned around and saw Fu Chengyan.

He cast a cold glance towards Song Rongrong and Su Yian before giving them a light nod. "Chengyan? Nuan said you'd gone home to rest," Song Rongrong quickly said.

Fu Chengyan's narrow eyes gleamed slightly. "I'm here to see how she's doing," he answered. "Thanks for looking after May."

"Nonsense. Nuan's our friend too. We didn't get there in time when something happened to Nuan, and she ended up getting hurt." Song Rongrong saw the rage in Fu Chengyan's eyes as she spoke. From this she knew how serious the issue was and that Fu Chengyan was truly angered. "Sorry, Chengyan."

"It's fine." Fu Chengyan raised his hand to indicate that this matter had nothing to do with them. "I'll take care of May's matters."

Song Rongrong and Su Yian came to a realization as they exchanged glances. "T-Then we're counting on you, Chengyan."

Su Yian tugged onto Song Rongrong's arm and together they turned to Fu Chengyan. "Well, Rongrong and I have other matters to take care of, so we're leaving Nuan in your care, Chengyan."

Su Yian dragged Song Rongrong and left. When they had walked far enough, Su Yian breathed a sigh of relief and patted her own chest. "That was so scary."

"What are you so afraid of? It's not like Chengyan would eat anyone," Song Rongrong said, but she could also tell something was off about Fu Chengyan's mood.

Although Fu Chengyan didn't blame them, it seemed like he didn't trust them either. After all, they were Shi Nuan's best friends, but they weren't around when the incident happened.

"Forget it. It's normal for him to be mad. It's a problem if he's actually not mad!"

After seeing Song Rongrong and Su Yian off, Fu Chengyan stood at the door for a long while before heading in.

At that very moment, Shi Nuan was sleeping peacefully. The sun rays shone throw the windows, gently stroking Shi Nuan's face. As Fu Chengyan saw Shi Nuan move slightly, he walked over to close the curtains. The ward turned dark in an instant, and his brows relaxed slightly as he looked at the woman in bed.

Fu Chengyan walked over and stood by Shi Nuan's side, gazing at her pale face with his profound eyes. He stretched out a hand, only to freeze when it was half a centimeter away from Shi Nuan's face. After a long while, Fu Chengyan retracted his arm, took out a newspaper and sat by the bed.

By the time An Chenyu took Anna out of Prosperous Dynasty, the woman had already been injured all over and looked horrendous. Despite An Chenyu having been through a lot in life, seeing his sister in this state made him feel sick. He looked at how bloodied Anna was, then looked up to see the magnificent Prosperous Dynasty.

Well aware that he couldn't mess up in such a place, An Chenyu had been planning to strike a deal with these people for years. Yet, he didn't expect his first deal with them to be like this.

An Chenyu carried Anna into the car, and the latter screamed in pain every time her body came into contact with anything. "Brother, you have to avenge me," she cried.

"That's enough! Be quiet!" An Chenyu glared at Anna before asking in distress, "What on earth did you do? Didn't I tell you before? You must never cause any trouble for Jiang City's Big Four and anyone from Prosperous Dynasty."

"Are you even my brother? Look at the state I'm in! Are you not going to avenge me?" Anna stared at An Chenyu in disbelief. "Why did they do this to me!?"

"Why?" An Chenyu looked at Anna in frustration. Despite being injured, the woman was still causing such a fuss. "Anna, have I ever said anything when you did whatever you wanted in the An family? But this is Jiang City, not the An family. If you want to be unreasonable, at least know who you're up against. How can I help you if you cause trouble at Prosperous Dynasty?" An Chenyu spoke and quickly started the engine. "I'm taking you to the hospital first. We'll talk about the rest later!"

The hospital An Chenyu was taking Anna to happened to be Su Shaoqing's private hospital. This place had the best facilities and medical team.

An Chenyu had met Su Shaoqing before, so he knew this hospital belonged to the man. He wasn't close with Su Shaoqing at all, but Su Shaoqing owed him a favor as An Chenyu once saved a woman several years ago.

So when An Chenyu brought Anna to the hospital, he immediately went to look for Su Shaoqing. It was clear that he wanted Su Shaoqing to save Anna.

At this moment, Su Shaoqing was just about to enter Shi Nuan's ward, but Fu Chengyan opened the door from inside. A pair of cold eyes looked straight at Su Shaoqing. "What do you want?"

Su Shaoqing raised his brows and looked into Shi Nuan's ward with a smile in his eyes, only to have his vision blocked by Fu Chengyan. "If you have something to say, say it or get lost."

With a smile stuck between his lips, Su Shaoqing stroked his chin and stared at Fu Chengyan with interest. "This isn't too nice of you, Chengyan-Ahh!" Before Su Shaoqing could even finish, a fist flew towards him, but he managed to evade it just in time.

Su Shaoqing backed a few steps and continued to evade the attacks. Fu Chengyan moved swiftly and accurately. Every movement was perfectly aimed towards Su Shaoqing's vital points.

After a few rounds, Su Shaoqing quickly raised his hands in surrender. "Seriously, Chengyan, are we even friends? You're attacking me the moment you see me!" He panted slightly and looked at Fu Chengyan. "Looks like you're still mad. But what I'm about to tell you will probably piss you off even more."

Fu Chengyan lifted his gaze and clenched his fist. "Say it!"

Su Shaoqing flinched slightly and gulped. "An Chenyu is here."

Fu Chengyan frowned. "For what?"

"To ask for my help!" Su Shaoqing responded. "You haven't forgotten, have you? He saved Ling's life a few years ago. Hah, he's pretty smart to approach me. Why do you think he's coming to me? Ling's not even my sister. She's yours."

"Get to the point!" Fu Chengyan said harshly while frowning.

"The point is, An Chenyu isn't just asking me to help Anna. He also wants me to help mediate peace. That punk doesn't know who's behind Prosperous Dynasty, so he's thinking of getting close to you through me. Then, he'll have you talk things out with the owner of Prosperous Dynasty."

Fu Chengyan furrowed his brows as a gleam of light flashed across his deep eyes. "Did you agree?"

"Of course! You know how much I hate owing others. Since he's made his request, of course I have to say yes," Su Shaoqing answered and quickly raised his hands in surrender upon seeing Fu Chengyan's deadly gaze fall on him. "I only agreed to help; I never said it'd work out! Oh hey, you're awake, Shi Nuan!"

Fu Chengyan froze. He quickly retracted all his hostility and glared at Su Shaoqing before turning around with a smile, but Shi Nuan was nowhere to be seen.

Fu Chengyan turned back to Su Shaoqing with narrowed eyes, only to replace that the man had fled.

Fu Chengyan clenched his fists and his intimidating aura dispersed only after a long time. He stood at the door for a while until he calmed down, then went back in.

Having fled the scene, Su Shaoqing triumphantly put his hands into the pockets of his white coat. As several nurses greeted him while walking by, Su Shaoqing quickly retracted his smile and nodded sternly. When he returned to his office, An Chenyu had already been waiting in there for a while.

"Mr. Su." An Chenyu quickly got up upon Su Shaoqing's return. Su Shaoqing raised a hand, asking the man to remain seated, then had his assistant bring in two glasses of water. "Sorry, I only have plain water here!"

"That's fine. Water will do. Water is more than fine!" An Chenyu might have been here to request a favor, but the person he was dealing with was Su Shaoqing. He still didn't have enough courage.

After the assistant left, An Chenyu took a few sips of water and tried his best to relax. "Mr. Su, I came here today to request that you fulfil the promise you had made that year."

Su Shaoqing raised his brows and stroked his chin. "Please continue, Mr. An," he laughed softly.

An Chenyu continued firmly, "My younger sister attended a classmates' gathering yesterday. I don't know what happened, but she somehow incurred the wrath of Prosperous Dynasty and got herself into trouble. She's back now, but I fear that the matter isn't as simple as it looks. You've always been very capable, Mr. Su, so I'd like—"

"You'd like to ask for my help?" Su Shaoqing smiled. "But you'll have to think carefully now. I do owe you a favor, and I do intend to keep my promise. But are you sure this is the favor you wish to ask from me?

An Chenyu was taken aback for a moment. He didn't quite understand what Su Shaoqing meant, but thinking about how serious Anna's injuries were, he could only nod. "Yes!"
