I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 468
Fu Ling held on to Su Shaoqing’s hand and refused to let go.
Su Shaoqing lowered his gaze to look at Fu Ling’s hand. “Sure!” he muttered forcefully before pursuing
his lips. “I won’t break my promise.”
Fu Ling nodded, though she was too busy rejoicing in the fact that he had agreed to save Bai to
register what he said after that.
…
Meanwhile, Shu Qing spent a couple of days being grounded at the Su family’s residence by Su
Huaibei.
The members of the Su family were known to be pushovers, but many of them had a few tricks up their
sleeves as well. Shu Qing figured that Su Huaibei was no different from them.
Shu Qing was reluctant to face Su Huaibei or anyone else from the Su family for that matter, so she
stayed cooped up in her room for two days straight.
On the third day, her manager came over to seek Su Huaibei’s permission to let her out for an event
that she was supposed to attend.
The manager was led into the Su family residence’s yard by the butler, where they ran into Su Yunwan
having tea with Su Huaibei and Lin Shuqin. “Sir, Ms. Shu is required to attend an event and a banquet
this evening. Here is the list of attendees.”
The manager handed the name list to Su Huaibei, who squinted at a particr name printed on it.
“Why is she here?”
“She’s the face of Xinhuang, Sir!”
Su Huaibei nodded. “Alright. Remember to send her back after it’s over.”
“Yes, Sir!”
After that, a servant in the house led the manager to Shu Qing’s room, where she had been staring out
of the window with a nk look on her face.
Shu Qing turned around and red at her manager.
“Ms. Shu, there’s an event and banquet this evening to celebrate the release of White Nights,” the
manager reported.
“What did he say?” Shu Qing asked without bothering to meet her manager’s eyes. She stroked her
arm absentmindedly as she spoke.
The manager froze for a moment before he put two and two together. Soon, he realized who Shu Qing
had been referring to. “Mr. Su was fine with it.”
Shu Qing smirked. “He’s not worried that I might make a run for it?”
“You won’t.”
“Oh?” Shu Qing asked, raising an eyebrow. “Why is that so?”
“There’s something here that you care about.”
Her manager’s words made her expression change drastically. The hand that had been gently stroking
her arm just seconds ago clenched, making her nails dig into her flesh painfully.
Her re grew sharper for just a second. “What a loyalckey!”
The manager nced at her tentatively. “Thank you, Ms. Shu.”
Shu Qing was not pleased, at the very least. “What about my outfit? I can’t just wear this to the
banquet, can I?”
“No worries. The stylists have already taken care of that,” her manager replied.
Shu Qing huffed and left the Su Residence with her manager.
Meanwhile, Su Yunwan nced at Su Huaibei with a cup of tea in her hands. “You seem distracted.”
Su Huaibei was jolted out of his trance. “When did youe back?”
Su Yunwan frowned. “I’ve been back for several years already, you know.”
Su Huaibei grimaced. “What about Shengfan? Did he visit you?”
Jiang Shengfan!
Su Yunwan’s hands trembled, though she managed to keep herposure. “He came to visit a few
days ago, but you weren’t home. I don’t know when we’ll get to meet him again!”
Su Huaibei chuckled. “Why don’t you head back? You seem to miss him a lot.”
“That’s enough. Let’s talk about your matters.”
“Me? What is there to talk about?”
“Shi Nuan!”
Su Huaibei’s face fell immediately. “How did you know?”
“Looks like my suspicions are correct,” Su Yunwan murmured, her face darkening. “Why didn’t you tell
us about it? Don’t you know how badly she was treated, over at the Shi’s?”
She ced her teacup onto the table and continued to re at him. “The Su family is entirely capable
of taking in another child. You should have just sent her here!”
Su Huaibei’s brows were knitted together tightly. “Did Qing tell you about this?”
“It doesn’t matter,” Su Yunwan eximed, waving her hand in dismissal. “I know exactly what you’d
done to her. She’s such a wonderful kid!”
Su Yunwan had always struggled to understand why Su Huaibei had abandoned Shi Nuan as a kid.
“You shouldn’t have brought her into this world if you were going to toss her out in the end. In fact…”
“Sis!” Su Huaibei uttered hurriedly, cutting her off. “I think that there’s a misunderstanding here.”
“Hmm?”
“I thought… I thought that she was dead… so that’s why I…” Su Huaibei trailed off before he could
finish his sentence. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before continuing, “Jiang Yuan hates
me, and that’s why she wants revenge. Besides, I can’t confirm that Shi Nuan’s my daughter, at least
not yet.”
“She’s definitely your daughter, Huaibei. She’s such a loveable girl! I used to think that she was
Bancheng’s girlfriend or something,” Su Yunwan pressed forth with a sigh. “I won’t probe too much into
your rtionship with Jiang Yuan, but I need to know what your next steps are once you confirm that
Shi Nuan’s your daughter.”
“I’ll reim her,” Su Huaibei admitted truthfully. “Though… I’m not sure if she’ll ept me. I may have
been misinformed, but I had abandoned her nheless.”
That was the reason why Su Huaibei had been hesitant to get in contact with Shi Nuan. Other than the
possibility of Shi Nuan refusing to ept his attempt to makeup, he was also worried about how the
psychological stress would affect her pregnancy.
Su Yunwan huffed. “That’s great to hear, but that’s not the most urgent matter right now. Good luck with
convincing Fu Chengyan regarding this matter. You’ll have to pick a suitable time to do it since Old
Master Fu doesn’t seem too happy about Fu Chengyan and Shi Nuan’s marriage.”
“Understood,” Su Huaibei affirmed confidently. “I’ll make sure to get it done.”
…
Meanwhile, Shu Qing was exhausted after the event, but her manager ignored her fatiguepletely
as they rushed to the banquet. “As the female lead of White Nights, your presence is expected at the
banquet with our coborators from Xinhuang.”
“Are you sure that this isn’t going to ruin my reputation?” Shu Qing huffed, shooting her manager a cold
re. “I’m not going!”
“Ms. Shu, that’s not something for you to decide,” her manager chided, glowering at her. “Without
Xinhuang’s help, White Nights would never be released in Z Nation. It won’t be very nice of you to ruin
everything with your stubbornness.”
Her manager’s words were piercing, yet it was nothing short of the truth. There were some things that
she simply did not have a choice in.
Shu Qing was unhappy about it, but thest thing she wanted was to mess everything up.
Seeing that she had calmed down, her manager smiled and continued, “The guest-of-honor for the
banquet is the top shareholder of Xinhuang. By the way, she’s a woman who admires you!”
Shu Qing looked up, visibly confused. “Really?”
“That’s right,” her manager confirmed. “Only that shareholder and a few executives from Xinhuang will
be attending the banquet. There won’t be any media personnel present, so you won’t have to worry
about incidents like the one from a few days ago urring again.”
“I’ll mark your words!” Shu Qing spat out through gritted teeth. “I’ll beat you up if that’s not the case!”
“Don’t worry!”
Xinhuang had scheduled the banquet at seven-thirty that evening at Yun Shui Jian, so Shu Qing made
use of the time before that to get herself a new hairstyle at a salon.
When they arrived at Yun Shui Jian, the time was twenty minutes past seven in the evening. They
made sure to arrive early to make a good impression, so as to improve Shu Qing’s chances of rising to
stardom in Z Nation. Besides, Xinhuang was affiliated with Shengyuan Group, and getting on good
terms with them would almost guarantee the bestmissions for Shu Qing.
Shu Qing was aware of that, despite not being well-versed with the unwritten rules of business.
Ten minutester, the producers, advertisers, and security personnel from Xinhuang arrived at Yun
Shui Jian. Most of them had met Shu Qing before during the coboration and were familiar with her,
but her scandal hade as a huge surprise to them.
Due to that, Shu Qing felt rather ufortable around them.
Upon greeting everyone from Xinhuang, Shu Qing noticed that a seat at the head of the table was left
empty. That must be for that shareholder!
“Ms. Shu, ourdy boss will being soon.”
Lady boss?
Shu Qing furrowed her brows. I have a bad feeling about this… However, before she could register
what was going on, the door to the private room was pushed open. A stern-looking, bespectacled
woman walked in and immediately stepped aside. “After you, Ma’am!” she ushered, gesturing for
someone outside toe in.
Another woman walked in, d in a simple, dark green dress and ts. Despite the simplicity of her
outfit, her domineering aura was as strong as ever.

The woman grinned and waved her hand at everyone in the room as they stood up to greet her. “Take
a seat, everyone,” she greeted before ncing at Shu Qing. “Greetings, Ms. Shu. My name is Shi
Nuan, and I’m Fu Chengyan’s wife.”
Shu Qing was about to stand up as well, but Shi Nuan’s words made her freeze in mid-air. Her gaze
could have almost shot a hole into Shi Nuan’s body.
Shu Qing’s clenched her fists, as though she was going to punch Shi Nuan in the face at any given
moment.
