I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 126

“This girl sure can put on an act!”

Su Shaoqing spent a long time watching the surveillance footage. A profound smile formed in his eyes as he heard Shi Wei’s words. “Right, Zhou Zheng?”

“That’s right!” Zhou Zheng turned to Su Shaoqing. “What will you do now, Mr. Su?”

“That’s enough. Whatever that is meant to happen will happen. I’m just here to watch the fun. It’s getting late, so I’ll be heading back now!”

Su Shaoqing patted his clothes and walked away, as though he had nothing to do with everything that just happened.

Meanwhile, Fu Chengyan brought Shi Nuan to Su Shaoqing’s private hospital. The staff here had received word that Fu Chengyan would be heading over, so they were waiting for his arrival and they immediately rushed over as they saw Fu Chengyan arrive with a woman in his arms. “Mr. Fu!”

Fu Chengyan responded with a grunt and exited the car. He looked at the doctor while holding onto Shi Nuan. “She’s been bitten by a snake. Find out if her blood has been cleansed of the poison!”

“What…” The doctor immediately looked at Shi Nuan’s wound. “Put this lady down, Mr. Fu. We’ll give her a check-up right now!”

The injury on Shi Nuan’s leg had been cleaned, but to prevent the possibility of toxins remaining inside her, the doctors recommended for her to be observed throughout the night. If nothing were to happen by morning, then she would truly be fine.

It was a long and nerve-wracking night, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief when Shi Nuan finally woke up the next morning.

Shi Nuan felt heavy-headed the entire night and woke up to find herself in the hospital. As she sat up to look around, she felt warmth on her forehead. Lifting her head, she saw Fu Chengyan standing right in front of her with a grim expression. “You’re still feverish.”

Shi Nuan pursed her lips and Fu Chengyan immediately poured her a cup of water. “How do you feel?”

Shi Nuan slowly regained her senses after drinking the water. “Why am I in a hospital?” she asked Fu Chengyan before remembering what happened last night. “Yesterday’s incident…”

“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of it!” Fu Chengyan took the cup and touched Shi Nuan’s forehead. “Let me know if you don’t feel good anywhere!”

Shi Nuan placed her hand on top of Fu Chengyan’s, gently lowered both their hands and shook her head. “I’m doing great. I’m fine now.”

She remembered what happened last night and how she had been bitten by a snake. Shi Nuan lifted the blanket and sighed gently as she looked at her leg wrapped in bandages.

Fu Chengyan’s chest tightened slightly as he saw how tired Shi Nuan looked. He reached out to hold Shi Nuan’s hand. “I couldn’t protect you.”

Hearing Fu Chengyan blame himself, Shi Nuan quickly shook her head. She might have looked pale, but she was now feeling much more energetic than before. “How could you be blamed for this? It had nothing to do with you. No one knew that such a thing would’ve happened last night!” said Shi Nuan. “Do you know who did it?”

“Yeah. I’ve already asked Zhou Zheng to check it out. Leave this to me, OK?” Fu Chengyan lifted Shi Nuan’s hand and gave it a kiss. “You need some rest.”

Shi Nuan nodded then continued, “Umm… This incident probably has something to do with Shi Wei and her…”

“That’s enough. Since you’ve agreed to let me take care of this, I’ll handle it well. You don’t have to think too much about it.”

“But…” Shi Nuan was hesitant. She had never gotten along with Shi Wei, but she couldn’t understand why the latter always went after her, especially right now. “Aren’t she and Fu Xicheng about to get married already?”

“Married?” Fu Chengyan curled his lips. “Speaking of which, I think it’s about time I gave her something to do. It’s annoying if she’s constantly keeping an eye on you.”

Fu Chengyan arranged for the doctor to examine Shi Nuan, and was relieved to learn that all the toxins had left her body.

Song Rongrong and Su Yian dropped by only when it was afternoon, not because they weren’t worried about her, but because with Fu Chengyan around, they didn’t even have a chance to worry about Shi Nuan. When they approached Fu Chengyan, he told them Shi Nuan needed to rest, making it obvious that he didn’t want them bothering her.

Still, Shi Nuan overheard them speaking and told her friends she was alright now.

“Oh, Chengyan is so worried about you!” Song Rongrong exclaimed. “You should’ve seen how handsome he looked last night.”

Song Rongrong’s eyes shone as she spoke, “How lucky you are to stumble upon such a good husband!” She sounded full of envy.

Shi Nuan and Su Yian smiled at each other. They had long gotten used to Song Rongrong’s behavior. As they shook their heads and watched Song Rongrong put on a show, Su Yian opened up a thermal container. “I made you some soup. I know you don’t have much of an appetite now, but you should still take good care of your body.”

“She’s right, Nuan,” Song Rongrong chimed in while nodding fervently. “An has been boiling this soup all morning and wouldn’t even let me have some!” She pouted with her eyes full of hope. Shi Nuan smiled and passed her bowl to Song Rongrong. “Then you can have some.”

“It’s fine.” Song Rongrong pushed Shi Nuan’s hand away and observed the room they were in. “Tsk tsk, this is a top-tier ward! Chengyan sure is generous,” she said. “Speaking of Chengyan, where is he?”
