I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 582
Chapter 582 Am I Right
Shi Nuan was the one who suggested making dumplings, but when they got to it, Shi Nuan didn’t do
much to be of any help. Firstly, she was pregnant, so it was hard for her to move around. Secondly, Fu
Chengyan wasn’t willing to let Shi Nuan tire herself out.
There were many residents in Wutong Residence. Withbined effort from everyone, there was no
more room for extra hands. Fu Chengyan and Li Heng were busying away, while Shen Qianan, Pei
Huan, and Fu Ling assisted them whenever they were needed. Meanwhile, Shi Nuan sat beside Fu
Chengyan.
Whenever she extended her hand in hopes of doing something, Fu Chengyan stopped her. Shi Nuan
had no choice but to withdraw her hand, but she still looked at Fu Chengyan pleadingly. Her current
expression reminded Fu Chengyan of how Shi Nuan looked during her teenage years. Shi Nuan also
used to cuddle into Fu Chengyan’s arms with the same look back then.
They didn’t know each other back then. Shi Nuan even used Fu Chengyan of being at fault. Fu
Chengyan smiled as he looked at how Shi Nuan was now, and he lovingly pinched her nose. Shi Nuan
raised her hand to swat Fu Chengyan’s hand away. She rubbed her nose impatiently. “My nose is dirty
now!”
Fu Chengyan handed a ball of kneaded dough to Shi Nuan. Then, he patted her head. “Go on and y
with Bao and Yu!” The corner of Shi Nuan’s lips twitched. She felt that Fu Chengyan was teasing her
like a child. “I’m an adult! There’s no way I’m going to y with dough!”

“Good girl!” Fu Chengyan tickled Shi Nuan’s nose. “If you still want to have dumplings tonight, you
should behave!”
“Fine then!” Shi Nuan sighed and held the dough in her hands. She proceeded to approach Bao and
Yu. “Bao, Yu, would youe and knead the dough with me?”
Bao and Yu were ying with toy cars. Their eyes lit up when they heard Shi Nuan’s voice, but as soon
as they saw the dough in her hands, Bao ignored Shi Nuanpletely, which was rare. Yu ran over
and touched Shi Nuan’s cheeks whileforting her, “Aunt Nuan, I want to y with the toy car with
Bao. Why don’t you knead the dough on your own?”
Shi Nuan was speechless. The rejection of both the children caused her face to flush crimson red. Shi
Nuan then helplessly turned to the others who were busy wrapping the dumplings.
The others stopped their work when they saw Shi Nuan turning to them for help. Su Shaoqing couldn’t
help butugh out loud. “Nuan, you’re being isted!” Hearing that, Shi Nuan was upset. “What do you
mean?”
Shi Nuan was unhappy as she red at Su Shaoqing. She stomped toward Fu Chengyan and tossed
the dough at him. “I don’t want to make dumplings anymore!”
Fu Chengyan’s smile widened as he resignedly pulled Shi Nuan to her side. He wrapped a hand on Shi
Nuan’s waist and gently caressed her cheek. “Good girl. Let me finish wrapping the dumplings so we
can cook them for our mealster!” Fu Chengyan spoke in a gentle tone, calming Shi Nuan’s restless
heart.
It wasn’t that Shi Nuan was acting unreasonably. She simply didn’t know what to do! Shi Nuan felt
wronged since it was rare that she wanted to make dumplings, but Fu Chengyan did not allow her to do
anything. Tears formed in Shi Nuan’s eyes as she looked at Fu Chengyan in misery.
Left with no choice, Fu Chengyan handed the dumpling wrapper to Shi Nuan. “Honey, don’t cry. It’s not
that I don’t want you to help but won’t you feel ufortable sitting on the stool? Although wrapping
dumplings isn’t tough work, you have to keep bending your back. Aren’t you afraid that your stomach
will feel ufortable?” Fu Chengyan helplessly coaxed her.
Shi Nuan pouted. “I don’t care! I want to help!”
“All right!” Fu Chengyan didn’t speak any further because he could tell that Shi Nuan wasn’t actually
desperate to prepare the dumplings. She merely wanted to join in the fun.
There were so many people, yet Shi Nuan was the only one idling around, thus the fuss. Nheless,
she looked just as adorable while kicking up a fuss.
Shen Qianan’s gaze softened at the sight of Shi Nuan and Fu Chengyan’s bantering.
Shen Qianan sat beside Pei Huan as she giggled and whispered into Pei Huan’s ear, “Nuan is growing
more and more brazen.”
Pei Huan felt that it was hrious too. “The truth is, when I was pregnant, I had mood swings too.” Pei
Huan thought of something and added, “I wasn’t any better than her.”
Shen Qianan grinned. “Indeed!”
Huo Ling was also wrapping dumplings as guided by Fu Ling. To Huo Ling’s dismay, she didn’t hold
any talent in it. Huo Ling’s hands might have been a pair of holy hands within the medical field, but she
was hopeless in such mundane tasks.
Fu Ling nced at the few dumplings on the te ced in front of Huo Ling, and her mouth couldn’t
help but twitch violently. Fu Ling was at a loss of words at the sight of the tragedy before her. It was
equivalent to the scene of a car crash.
The dumplings Huo Ling prepared wererge and filled to the brim with torn wrapping.
Fu Ling did not know what to do. Luckily, Huo Ling wasn’t the type to pursue perfection, but her mouth
twitched when she saw the dumplings she made. She awkwardly put down the things in her hand. “I
think it would be better if I just focus on eating!”
Shi Nuan chuckled as Huo Ling’s antics amused her.
Huo Ling was not upset at all. “Ms. Nuan, you shouldn’tugh at me! Everyone has their strengths and
weaknesses. It’s apparent that this isn’t my forte!”
Huo Ling reached out her slim finger and bit her lips in frustration. “I know how to enjoy food, though.
Something as difficult as wrapping dumplings should be left to the men!” Huo Ling gave up entirely, as
she imed. She kept staring at Fu Chengyan and Li Heng.
“How am I so lucky to be able to meet so many handsome young men all at once!” Admiration filled
Huo Ling’s innocent gaze.
Huo Ling looked around, and her focusnded somewhere among the crowd. She noticed that Fu
Chengyan and Shi Nuan were a pair, Li Heng and Pei Huan were together, and Shen Qianan’s partner
was apparently absent. Huo Ling’s curious gazended on Su Shaoqing and Pei Jingxiu.
Even though Huo Ling was still young, she was smart. Despite having no experience in romantic
rtionships, she witnessed many public disys of affection. Hence Huo Ling knew a thing or two
regarding romance.
Fu Chengyan and Li Heng’s eyes flickered with adoration when they looked at their loved ones. It was
obvious that they were madly in love.
On the other hand, Huo Ling could not sense such feelings from Pei Jingxiu.
Huo Ling wasn’t familiar with Pei Jingxiu. The only time she met Pei Jingxiu before this was when she
caught a glimpse of Pei Jingxiu at the hospital.
Huo Ling admitted that Pei Jingxiu was handsome. She felt that Pei Jingxiu was the most attractive
among all. Perhaps it was because Pei Jingxiu was single, Huo Ling felt a fatal attraction and
intimidating aura emitted from him.
Although Fu Chengyan and Li Heng were good-looking, they were taken. Naturally, Huo Ling did not
observe both of them as tantly. Contrastingly, she did not hold back while staring at Pei Jingxiu.
Pei Jingxiu noticed someone’s unadulterated gaze staring at him. Thus, he raised his head and
nced toward Huo Ling, who was staring directly at him. Huo Ling had no ill intention toward Pei
Jingxiu. She was just observing him, like how predators hunt prey.
In reality, Huo Ling had no romantic interest in Pei Jingxiu. Huo Ling looked at Pei Jingxiu in such a
manner purely because he gave off a mysterious aura, which was both familiar and strange to Huo
Ling.
Pei Jingxiu’s gaze faintly swept past Huo Ling. It was as if he didn’t even notice her. Huo Ling huffed
and turned away. In the end, she looked at Su Shaoqing. Su Shaoqing’s medical skills are decent. It’s
just that he’s a littleckingpared to the Huo family.
Huo Ling rested her chin on her palm as she gazed at Su Shaoqing. Su Shaoqing also raised his head
to look at her, just like Pei Jingxiu when he noticed Huo Ling’s gaze on him earlier. However, there was
an ominous grin on Su Shaoqing’s face, and his gaze shone with a hint of mockery.
Huo Ling’s chin remained on her palm as her eyes met Su Shaoqing’s gaze. “Dr. Su, are you still
single?”
“Pfft!” Shi Nuan could not help butugh when she heard Huo Ling’s question. Even Li Heng and Pei
Jingxiu couldn’t help but curled their lips upward.
Li Heng smirked. “Shaoqing, look at how miserable you are. It’s to the point where Huo Ling is mocking
you.”
“Single?” The smile on Su Shaoqing’s face froze while he subconsciously nced toward Fu Ling.
Fu Ling dodged his gaze and lowered her head. She continued wrapping the dumplings as if she heard
nothing.
After that single nce, Su Shaoqing smirked bitterly. Soon, he returned to his carefree and solemn
attitude. “When I was out and about earning big bucks, you were still a baby. How dare you mock me
for being single!”
“Isn’t that true?” Huo Ling blinked. “What does your hard work in the past have to do with your current
state of being single?”
Huo Ling looked at Su Shaoqing with an innocent look on her face. But, if one were to look closer, one
would notice that Huo Ling’s tone was slightly cheeky. Huo Ling looked at Su Shaoqing innocently. “It
must be because you were reckless in your affections in the past life and hurt other people’s feelings
that you have to endure the punishment now, which is to be single forever!” She spoke in a firm yet
cute manner.
When Su Shaoqing heard Huo Ling’s deduction, he was stunned. It took him a while before he
regained his senses.
The surroundings went silent in the living room. Other than Huo Ling, everyone present knew a little
about what was going on between Su Shaoqing and Fu Ling. Huo Ling was a pure-hearted child. She
was clueless as she called Su Shaoqing out for being single, causing the atmosphere to turn awkward.
Su Shaoqing did not say anything for quite some time. Meanwhile, Fu Ling, who was silent all the time,
seemed unaffected. However, her hands slowed down in the actions of wrapping dumplings. Fu Ling
looked down, her face slightly pale.
Huo Ling wasn’t aware of what happened between Su Shaoqing and Fu Ling. Huo Ling was seated
beside Fu Ling, and she felt a moment of silence surrounding her as everyone turned their attention
toward them.
Huo Ling rubbed her chin and turned toward Fu Ling. “Am I right, Fu Ling?”
