I Want A Lifetime With You

Chapter 577 Cruelty

Yun Shen followed Huo Ling to Shen Qianan’s ward. In fact, Shen Qianan’s ward was not far away from Shi Nuan’s. When Yun Shen passed by Shi Nuan’s ward, a smile crept up his face as he saw Shi Nuan seemed to be sleeping.

Huo Ling could not help but frown upon noticing Yun Shen’s smile. “You sleazy geezer, my Mr. Handsome will gouge your eyes out if you keep looking at his wife like that!”

The corner of Yun Shen’s lips twitched. “Why are you calling Fu Chengyan Mr. Handsome but calling me geezer?”

Huo Ling snorted while fixing her gaze on Yun Shen in disdain. “Why so? That’s as plain as the nose on your face. My Mr. Handsome is so dreamy, whereas you’re salacious!”

Yun Shen narrowed his eyes. “I’m salacious? Are you blind?”

“It’s a waste of time talking to you!” While Huo Ling was speaking, she knocked on the ward door. After receiving a response, she pushed open the door and entered. “Ms. Qianan, how are you feeling?”

Huo Ling came here to check on Shen Qianan’s condition. Although Huo Ling’s medical skills were brilliant, Shen Qianan was seriously injured. Hence, she could not recover right away. For the past few days, Huo Ling had been taking good care of Shen Qianan as Shen Qianan’s lungs had also been infected before. Even though Shen Qianan was not in a particularly good condition, Yun Shen could not help but be impressed by Huo Ling upon seeing her.

Huo Ling shot Yun Shen a side-eye. “Now that you’ve seen her, you can get lost!”

Only then did Shen Qianan realize that Yun Shen was there. She was a little surprised as she asked, “Who are you? Yun Shen?”

Yun Shen smirked in response. “Ms. Shen, you still remember me!”

While he was speaking, he approached Shen Qianan. He fixed his gaze on her and stroked his chin, scrutinizing her. “Are you feeling better now, Ms. Shen?”

“Yes!”

In fact, Shen Qianan could not remember the incident the other day. The last impression she had of Yun Shen was when she met him at the villa in the past.

She had always thought that she was not close with Yun Shen. In addition, Shen Qianan felt confused about Yun Shen’s attitude toward her, given his relationship with Fu Sijue. However, she did not show any emotion on her face. “Thank you for your concern, Mr. Yun. I’m all right!”

Yun Shen nodded. “It seems like Ms. Huo’s medical skills are really brilliant. You had nearly stopped breathing when I brought you here that day. I was still worried that my family would be doomed if anything happened to you in the Yun residence.”

“What did you just say?” Stunned, Shen Qianan lifted her head to look at Yun Shen. “I was at the Yun residence?”

Why don’t I know about it?

Yun Shen narrowed his eyes. “Do you not remember, Ms. Shen?”

Upon hearing that, Shen Qianan thought for a while before shaking her head. “For the past few days, I’ve been pondering about it. Didn’t someone lock me up? How did I get out from there?” Shen Qianan was not dumb. Apparently, she noticed some clues from Yun Shen’s words. Not only that, she recalled the relationship between Fu Sijue and the Yun family, so she made a wild guess. “I had been locked up in the Yun residence for days? Why is there such a place in the Yun residence?”

Raising his eyebrows, Yun Shen poured a glass of water and handed it to Shen Qianan.

Shen Qianan took the glass from him and thanked him. Right after that, she looked at Huo Ling as she suggested, “Ms. Huo, can I chat with Mr. Yun for a while? Look, I’m fine now. Can I receive today’s treatment later?”

Huo Ling knitted her brows. “Okay. I’ll go to the laboratory then. I’ll be back after this sleazy geezer left.”

Huo Ling did not want to see Yun Shen either. Judging from Shen Qianan’s expression, she seemed to have something to tell Yun Shen, so Huo Ling picked up her bag and left.

Yun Shen’s gaze was fixated on Huo Ling, and he regained his senses after quite some time as he heard Shen Qianan laugh. “Ms. Huo is an adorable girl!”

Yun Shen smiled without saying anything else. He then questioned, “What do you want to know, Ms. Shen?”

“You’re the one who saved me?” Shen Qianan was practically sure of it. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

If I’m at the Yun residence, that would be the only possibility. Otherwise, there’s no way that Yun Shen will be here today.

As Yun Shen remained silent, Shen Qianan could roughly grasp the situation. “Mr. Yun, why did you save me?”

Yun Shen stared inquisitively at Shen Qianan without batting an eye. “What if I said I did that for no reason?”

Even he was unsure of the reason why he was so angry the moment he saved Shen Qianan. Perhaps Shen Qianan’s encounter was similar to that person in my memory? Or maybe it’s because Shen

Qianan is Shi Nuan’s sister? I’ve no idea. At that instant, all I knew was I had the urge to save this woman, so I rescued her immediately.

Hearing Yun Shen’s words, Shen Qianan smiled lightly. “I owe you one, Mr. Yun!”

Yun Shen’s lips curled into a smile. “It’s no big deal. I have an ulterior motive for saving you. Have a good rest, Ms. Shen. I’ll come to see you next time.” He stood up and was about to leave.

When Shen Qianan saw Yun Shen was leaving, she called out to him, “Hold on! W-Where is he?”

Shen Qianan had been pondering a question for days. It seems like Ying wasn’t under Fu Sijue’s order to treat me like that because he showed open hostility towards me. To him, I’m a stumbling block to Fu Sijue. Thus, he wants to get rid of me so that I won’t be a burden to Fu Sijue. That’s understandable. However, Ying tried to end my life outrightly and without fear. Then, where is Fu Sijue? How can I be such shameless! Obviously, people wanted to take my life, but I actually worry about Fu Sijue’s safety right now.

Staring at Yun Shen’s back, Shen Qianan asked, “Fu Sijue is Yun Jing, and Yun Jing is Fu Sijue. Am I right?”

Yun Shen turned around and saw Shen Qianan’s face was pale, which made him somewhat feel bad. “Yes.”

Shen Qianan grinned. “I should’ve known about it. Why does he want to go against the Fu clan?”

“Well, maybe you should ask Fu Chengyan. Do you have anything else to ask, Ms. Shen?” Yun Shen chuckled.

“Where is he right now?”

“He’s at the Yun residence!” Yun Shen reached out to touch his cufflinks as he added, “Ms. Shen, rest well!”

With that said, Yun Shen left the ward, whereas Shen Qianan was left alone, sitting on the bed while gazing blankly into space with soulless eyes.

If I still don’t understand Fu Sijue’s intention, it would imply that I’ve been living in vain all these years. Yet, for this reason, I can’t help feeling a shred of pity toward myself. For over two decades of my lifetime, I never seemed to enjoy the life I wanted. Other than the matters of the Shen family and the Su family, I even need to endure Fu Sijue’s entanglement. Sometimes, I knew that I had nothing to do with them, but I can’t control myself.

Shen Qianan clenched her fists before reaching out to caress her face. After several days of treatment, Huo Ling said that the injuries on Shen Qianan’s body were mostly recovered. Although Huo Ling also told her that the scars on her face would gradually disappear, she felt that some things could never be healed anymore. Even if the surface might seem perfectly unharmed, the core had already been rotten, just like her love for Fu Sijue, and it even could no longer be called love.

Shen Qianan closed her eyes. Perhaps she was focused wholly on her emotions, so she did not notice that Huo Ling had already arrived at her ward.

Meanwhile, Huo Ling stared at Shen Qianan with a complicated gaze in her eyes. Since Huo Ling was only sixteen years old, she was too young to understand the feelings of the adults.
