I Want a Lifetime with You
Chapter 459

"What should we do now, Sir?"

Despite having worked under Su Huaibei for such a long time, I'm still unable to understand his thoughts, but I don't want to assume anything either. One thing I know for sure is that Shu Qing is the only person capable of affecting Su Huaibei's mood. However, she's always upsetting him. Even so, Su Huaibei still loves her wholeheartedly...

Su Huaibei had on an icy-cold look. "Shen Shixiu can't possibly have his men around her forever. I want you to put the word out that Shu Qing will be attending the premiere in a few days!"

"I..." Fu Yi gave Su Huaibei a troubled look. "Sir, given Ms. Shu's condition, she isn't fit to attend any sort of event!"

Shu Qing is barely able to stand, let alone leave the house!

Su Huaibei's cold gaze fell upon Fu Yi. "That's none of your concern. Just do as I say. Also, is it true that Shen Qianan has a kid?"

"Yes, an illegitimate son that Fu Chengyan refuses to acknowledge, according to what I've heard," Fu Yi said cautiously. There was a gloomy look on Su Huaibei's face when he heard that. "Have them replace Shen Qianan and bring her to me as soon as possible!"

How dare Shen Qianan set her sights on Nuan's husband, Fu Chengyan?

Fu Yi had made Su Huaibei hate Shen Qianan even more by saying that.

Su Huaibei dismissed Fu Yi and stormed upstairs, only to hear Shu Qing screaming and cursing from inside the room.

"Su Huaibei, you bastard! Why do you always do this to me? I want to go back to C Country, you hear me? I want to go back! Do you think doing this is gonna make me give in and love you? That's not going to happen! I would rather love a married man like Shen Feng than you! Get away from me! I won't eat until that fool Su Huaibei comes to see me! I'll starve myself to death!"

The room door was suddenly opened with a loud slam, and Shu Qing went quiet.

"Sir!" The servants looked at Su Huaibei nervously. "Ms. Shu refuses to eat anything! There's nothing much we can do!"

Su Huaibei frowned as he looked at the porridge Shu Qing had spilled over the white carpet. The woman was sitting on the floor, her face looking pale and malnourished.

She did this to herself over the course of a single night? This is just like twenty years ago...

Su Huaibei's eyes teared up a little at the thought of that, but he motioned at the servants to leave anyway. Soon, Su Huaibei and Shu Qing were the only ones left inside the huge room.

He walked up to Shu Qing and gave her a disdainful smile as he towered over her. "You're the one who chose to come here, and now you're going on a hunger strike just to go back?" "You're a monster, Su Huaibei! A monster!" Shu Qing was starting to feel a little giddy from her tantrum after starving herself for an entire day, but she refused to submit to Su Huaibei. Shu Qing was now so skinny that it took every ounce of strength she had left just to stand up.

As she hadn't used her legs in a long time, she could barely steady herself and nearly fell back down onto the floor.

She stared Su Huaibei defiantly in the eye while leaning against the wall for support. "You think you can just keep me prisoner like this forever?"

"Heh... You're still using the same trick after so many years?" Su Huaibei grabbed her by the chin and lifted it, forcing her to look at him.

Being the proud and stubborn person that she was, Shu Qing refused to show him any sign of fear. "As long as it works!"

"Does it, though?" Su Huaibei looked at her like she had said something stupid. "When has it ever worked for you? I told you, those little tricks of yours won't work against me. Besides, you and I both know why you came back." He tightened his grip on her chin as he spoke.

"Su Huaibei, you bastard! What more do you want from me? You've kept me prisoner for so many years now! If you hate me that much, why don't you just kill me?" Shu Qing's eyes were filled with hatred as she glared at him.

"Killing you would be too mild a punishment. You should've expected this to happen the moment you betrayed me back then. So, Shen Qianan is your daughter, eh?" Su Huaibei uttered coldly.

Shu Qing's eyes went wide with terror. "What are you gonna do? She's innocent! Don't you hurt her!"

"Innocent? Her existence is a constant reminder of your betrayal!" Su Huaibei shouted angrily.

"Have you lost your mind? I may have wronged you, but An has nothing to do with this! Leave her alone!"

Shu Qing swung wildly at Su Huaibei, but he caught her arm with ease.

"Oh? You're scared now, aren't you? I never thought I'd live to see the great Shu Qing look so terrified! Funny, you didn't seem scared when you were with Shen Feng!"

"I'm warning you, Su Huaibei... If you hurt An, I will never forgive you!" Shu Qing reached out and tried to pull herself free from his grip.

However, her pointless struggles only served to amuse the man further. The more she cared about something, the more he wanted to destroy it. "I bet she doesn't know you abandoned her for her own good, does she? She probably hates you so much now."

"F*ck you, Su Huaibei!" Shu Qing bit down hard on his arm.

Su Huaibei lowered his gaze as he endured the pain.

Having used up all of her strength, Shu Qing's eyes glazed over, and she fell to the floor in a slump. "What the hell do you want? Just come at me and leave the child alone!"

"Child?" Su Huaibei sneered and knelt in front of her. "Don't you know that she's already an adult now? Like you, she has an illegitimate child too!"

Shu Qing turned pale instantly and brushed his hand away. "No, that's not possible... How could An..."

"Why not?" Su Huaibei's words pierced right through her heart, and she trembled as she stared at him in disbelief. "You're lying!"

"Lying? Heh, did you know that Shi Nuan looks exactly like Shen Qianan?"

"Enough! I know you hate me, but don't even think of threatening me with An. She doesn't even acknowledge me as her mother anyway."

"What about Shi Nuan, then? Does she know she has a cruel and heartless woman like you for a mother?"

"Shut up! I don't know who Nuan is!" Shu Qing kept backing away until she hit the wall behind her. "I don't know who this Nuan is!"

"I know Shen Feng is Shen Qianan's father, so who is Shi Nuan's father?"

"Whoever it is, it sure as hell isn't you! There's no way I'd ever have a child with you!"

"Say that again!" Su Huaibei grabbed her by the throat. "You think I won't kill you?"

"Do it, then! Kill me! Imprisonment, rape... What's stopping you from adding murder to that list?"

Shu Qing instinctively swatted at his arms. "Go on, kill me! I'm sick and tired of living anyway! Every second I spend being around you disgusts me to no end, so end my life already!"

"You want to die?" Su Huaibei let go of her throat and dragged her onto the bed.

With a swift motion, he took off his belt and tied her down. "Dying is too easy! No, I'm going to keep you alive and make you suffer a fate worse than death. Both Shen Qianan and Shi Nuan fell in love with Fu Chengyan, but he only loves Shi Nuan. I bet you didn't know that, huh?"

"F*ck you, Su Huaibei! F*ck you!"

Shu Qing kept struggling with all her might even though her wrists were starting to bleed from it. "You are going to hell, you hear me? You are surely going to hell!"
