I Want a Lifetime with You
Chapter 396

Another person who was enraged was Fu Yuqing. After leaving Yun Shui Jian, he burst out angrily, "What a fool. She ruined the rare opportunity!" Does she even know how hard is it to get to meet Fu Chengyan? We could've gotten to know the man. Why is Shi Wei such an insolent fool?

How could she mention Shen Qianan?

"Fool!"

"Ha!" Fu Xicheng, who had remained silent the whole night, sneered at his father. There was a hint of annoyance in his gaze as he mocked, "Father, you were full of praises for Shi Wei back then, weren't you? You encouraged me to marry her, but why are you calling her a fool now?"

"You!" Fu Yuqing flushed red furiously. "You need to apologize to Shi Nuan tomorrow. Bring Shi Wei with you." Fu Yuqing wasn't blind. He saw how affectionate Shi Nuan and Fu Chengyan were. It was apparent that Fu Chengyan was in love with Shi Nuan. They hadn't been pretending back in Yun Shui Jian.

Hence, Fu Yuqing couldn't help but doubt Shi Wei's claim that Shen Qianan was the woman Fu Chengyan loved. Anyway, since Fu Chengyan was now infatuated with Shi Nuan, she was their new target.

"No!" Fu Xicheng felt his heart ache whenever he remembered that Shi Nuan was married to Fu Chengyan, a man who was richer and more influential than him.

Back then, when Shi Nuan was still dating me, she loved me wholeheartedly. I was the bastard for dumping her and marrying Shi Wei. It's impossible to get her back.

At that thought, his fists balled up tightly. His eyes were laden with hatred as he stared at both Fu Yuqing and Liu Minjun. "Father, you were the one who told me to marry Shi Wei. Now, even if you don't like her anymore, you'll have to bear with it. I won't go to Shi Nuan. Wasn't she clear enough? She agreed to meet us because she wanted to cut ties with us."

Fu Xicheng recalled how shocked he was when Shi Wei yelled that Shi Nuan wasn't her biological sister. But the truth wasn't that unacceptable as the Shi family had always treated Shi Wei differently.

"Is it that easy to cut ties? She's still a Shi in name. Don't bother about her actual identity. She needs to pay back what she owes the Shi family unless she wants to be mocked by everyone else!" "Father!" Fu Xicheng furrowed his brows. "Don't you get it?" Shi Nuan doesn't care about that! Fu Yuqing was delusional. Shi Nuan wasn't obligated to help the Shi family. After all, she wasn't a Shi. "Apologize to Shi Nuan with Shi Wei tomorrow. If she refuses to forgive you, grovel at her feet until she does!"

Meanwhile, on the third floor of Prosperous Dynasty, a lady was holding a phone. She was staring at a photograph of a handsome but sly man.

She studied the man closely before reading the file about him. Frowning slightly, she tidied herself up and headed to room 3808.

The lady was wearing a skimpy outfit. It seemed slightly tacky in this weather, but she was unfazed. Biting her lip, she remained deep in thought until she reached room 3808. After taking a deep breath, she pushed the door open.

The room was full of people having fun. Some were playing dices while a few other couples were flirting around. When the door was pushed open, they all looked up.

"Who are you?"

The lady smiled faintly, illuminated by the dim light in the room. She came nearer to the crowd, her gaze landing on a man. A smile played on her lips as she walked to the man and poured a glass of liquor for him. "Mr. Qin, do you still remember me?"

Qin Yanzhi scrunched up his brows in confusion. He couldn't see her face clearly in the dimly lit room. However, the lady's voice was sexy and inviting.

"Who are you?" he asked curiously and glanced at her. He was no longer smiling slyly as he was in the photograph earlier.

The lady smirked before she plopped onto the sofa next to him. "Mr. Qin, you're forgetful, aren't you? Let me explain. Three years ago, 8 p.m. at Jinyun."

Qin Yanzhi's lips flattened as he grabbed her hands. "Who are you? You're not her!"

The lady grimaced in pain, but the smile on her face never wavered. "So you still remember me, Mr. Qin. Let's talk somewhere else, shall we?" She glanced around before whispering in his ear. "If you don't want the others to replace out."

Qin Yanzhi narrowed his gaze. "Do you know the consequences of offending me?"

"Well, I had no choice. I tried to talk to you formally, but you were too busy to meet me."

The lady finished her drink and stalked out of the room after speaking. Qin Yanzhi stared at her retreating figure before jumping to his feet to go after her. "Go on without me. I'll be back soon!"

He strode after the woman and gripped her arm, pulling her to him. Gazing at the woman in surprise, he announced, “I don't know you."

"I don't know you, either." Fu Ling smirked and leaned on the wall. "Actually, I didn't intend to meet you this way. But you're just too busy, so this was the only way."

"What's your objective?"

"Qin Xiaoxiao," stated Fu Ling. She saw a crack in Qin Yanzhi's indifferent expression before he scowled. "I'm sorry. I don't know her."

"Scum!" Fu Ling raised her hand and was about to deliver a slap when Qin Yanzhi grabbed her wrist. "Miss, I don't think you should interfere."

"Qin Yanzhi, you're ruthless! Don't you want to know how Xiaoxiao is doing? She-"

"Enough! I don't know who Qin Xiaoxiao is. Miss, I don't want to see you again." Qin Yanzhi declared and tried to leave, but Fu Ling wouldn't let him do so. She grabbed his arm and exclaimed, "Qin Yanzhi, you unfaithful man! How can you leave right after that? Let me tell you—"

Before she could finish, something ran past her, and she heard a loud thud. Then, a punch landed on Qin Yanzhi. When she finally realized what was happening, Qin Yanzhi had already staggered backward from the force of the punch.

Dumbfounded, she glanced sideways. She hurriedly clamped down her emotions and helped Qin Yanzhi up. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Qin Yanzhi shook his head and looked up. When he saw Su Shaoqing, his expression froze. "Mr. Su?”

Su Shaoqing gripped his fists tightly in anger.

He was glaring at them both viciously. "He did that to you. Why do you still care for him?" His jaw hardened. "Fu Ling, are you a fool?"

"You're a fool!" Fu Ling glowered at him. "Su Shaoqing, stop interfering in my business. Otherwise, I'll beat you up every time I see you!" Fu Ling met Su Shaoqing's gaze icily, the affection in her gaze no longer visible.

She helped Qin Yanzhi up. "Let me bring you to the hospital."

"No... No need." Qin Yanzhi was a regular here, so he knew who Su Shaoqing was. Did Su Shaoqing just hit me because of Fu Ling? Is she related to Su Shaoqing? Did he misunderstand our relationship? "Mr. Su, you've gotten it wrong."

"Why are you afraid of him? It's none of his business," Fu Ling cut him off impatiently. She narrowed her eyes threateningly. "Let's go to the hospital."

"No," Qin Yanzhi responded and shoved her away. "I'm fine."

"Hey. Hey! Qin Yanzhi!"

Fu Ling was stunned to see Qin Yanzhi running off swiftly.

She went after him immediately. "Qin Yanzhi, don't leave! We need to talk! Hey! What are you doing?" She had barely taken two steps when Su Shaoqing tugged her back and pinned her to the wall. She winced in pain and looked up, but Su Shaoqing had already leaned closer.

Su Shaoqing had one hand against the wall as he glared at Fu Ling. "Fu Ling, don't you love yourself? Why did you stick to Qin Yanzhi shamelessly when he doesn't even love you?"

"I'm shameless? Ha!" Fu Ling burst out laughing at Su Shaoqing's words. She stared at Su Shaoqing icily, a smile frozen on her lips. "Right. You think I'm a shameless woman, don't you? Ten years ago, I shamelessly pursued you. Didn't you resort to extreme means to get rid of me three years ago? You, of all people, should know how shameless I am."

"Fu Ling!" Su Shaoqing knitted his brows. "You-"

"Su Shaoqing, I once said that we're nothing but strangers. It's still valid now. Why are you bothering me when I've stopped bothering you? Are you that shameless?"
