I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 173

Shi Wei had almost broken down when she saw Shi Nuan appeared unscathed in front of her.. She smoldered with resentment after seeing Yun Shen as she recalled the look on Su Su’s face. She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists tightly. “Why is Mr. Yun here? Didn’t I see you getting tipsy and entered the lounge to rest just now?

“Yeah, I indeed had a bit too much to drink. It was still Ms. Shi’s friend who accompanied me to the lounge just now!” Yun Shen replied with a sly glint appeared in his wry eyes. The man sized Shi Wei up and continued, “Is Ms. Shi sure that you don’t have to see a doctor? It’s not very auspicious for you to be looking so pale on your birthday!”

Shi Wei staggered and almost tripped.

There were rumors about Yun Shen being fearless and indifferent and did not abide to any principles. Words also had it that he was ruthless and vicious. Anyone who offended him had not ended up well.

It had never occurred to Shi Wei that Yun Shen could be that inhumane. It seemed like he had already found out what was going on. “Mr. Yun, you’re right. As a matter of fact, I’m not feeling well and that’s why I look pale. I shall make a move first then.”

Yun Shen’s lips curled up into a smirk as Shi Wei fled in a hurry. A mischievous glint appeared in his eyes as he turned his gaze towards Shi Nuan. “Ms. Shi, it seems like we are quite fated!”

“Are we?” Shi Nuan narrowed her eyes as she answered.

“Of course! You see, this is the third time I saved you from harm.” Yun Shen smiled. His foxy eyes were fixed on Shi Nuan. “I can stop worrying now after seeing that you are safe,” he said.

“Really?” Shi Nuan met his gaze and replied, “Mr. Yun saved me thrice?” When did he save me? The woman wondered. Even if he had, tonight was definitely the only time.

After hearing what Shi Nuan said, Yun Shen couldn’t help but express disapproval. “Tsk-tsk. It seems like Ms. Shi is really heartless. How could you have forgotten me, your life savior!”

She pursed her lips into a thin line and furrowed her brows. “I really appreciate Mr. Yun’s help tonight. But you did that to save yourself too! Besides, I would have been fine even without your help.” Shi Nuan made it very clear. Even if Yun Shen had not done anything, she would still be unharmed. On the other hand, she felt that Yun Shen had gone a little overboard. Su Su was still a woman after all.

Although Shi Nuan was not fond of Su Su, she felt that it was too cruel for a woman to have to go through this ordeal. However, she was glad that it wasn’t her. When she saw the way Su Su looked just now, she had frozen for a moment due to shock. It was impossible for Shi Nuan to imagine the way she would have handled it if it was her instead of Su Su.

Yun Shen arched his eyebrow and wanted to say something when Shi Nuan’s phone suddenly rang. The woman took out her phone and took a look at the screen. A tender expression appeared in her eyes as she answered, “Hello?”

“Has the gathering ended?” Fu Chengyan asked in a gentle tone. Hearing his deep voice over the phone elevated Shi Nuan’s mood instantly. “Yup, it has just ended,” the woman answered.

“I’m outside now. You can come out!”

“You are here?” Shi Nuan’s eyes brightened. When she noticed that Yun Shen was still looking at her, she walked further away before she continued in a happy tone. “OK, give me a while. I’ll come out now!”

The woman kept her phone and said, “Sorry, Mr. Yun, I’ll have to go now. It’s getting late.”

Yun Shen looked at Shi Nuan with his unfathomable eyes as he followed behind her.

Shi Nuan saw a car parked outside when she walked out. However, it did not belong to Fu Chengyan. The car looked familiar but Shi Nuan could not remember whose it was. When the car door opened, Su Shaoqing stepped out.

There was a look of surprise on her face as she saw Su Shaoqing. She walked over and asked, “Why are you here?”

“Why? Is Mrs. Fu very shocked to see me?” Su Shaoqing said with a smile in his stretched eyes. However, his gaze shifted behind Shi Nuan. Shi Nuan followed the direction of his eyes and frowned as she asked, “Why did he come out too?”

“There’s nothing to be curious about.” Su Shaoqing replied. “Let’s get into the car!”

Su Shaoqing opened the car door on the passenger’s side for Shi Nuan. After Shi Nuan was seated, she immediately noticed Fu Chengyan who was seated at the back. “Yan!” She exclaimed in surprise.

Fu Chengyan nodded and said, “Fasten your seat belt!”

Shi Nuan put on her seat belt at once. Doubts started arising in her mind after Su Shaoqing got into the car. “Why are both of you here?” However, she finally realized what was going on. “So, you doubled up as Su Bancheng today?”

Su Shaoqing extended his hands in front of him and let out a helpless sigh. “Tell me about it. I can’t even assume my own identity now and have to use another’s name!”

Shi Nuan giggled uncontrollably as she said, “Su, you have such a good sense of humor!”

“Thanks for the compliment, Mrs. Fu!” Su Shaoqing stepped on the accelerator and sped off into the night.

Yun Shen was still standing at the main entrance after they left. A twinkle remained in his pitch black eyes, as he stared in the direction of the car which just drove off.

“Wouldn’t Mr. Yun be curious about the identity of the man who picked my sister up just now?”

Yun Shen turned to face Shi Wei and raised his eyebrows. Shi Wei laughed. By now, she had fully regained her composure. “That man is Su Bancheng from the Su family. Does Mr. Yun know him? My sister loves befriending rich men. The people she hangs out with are mostly those people, and Su Bancheng is one of them.”

The twinkle in Yun Shen’s eyes disappeared and was replaced with a chilling look. He smiled dryly as he replied, “Oh? Your sister seems pretty popular.”

For no reason, Shi Wei suddenly felt like she had difficulty breathing. She had just noticed the frightening look in Yun Shen’s eyes. “Mr. Yun, just now you… “

“Haha!” Yun Shen suddenly let out a laugh and inched towards Shi Wei. The woman retreated fearfully until she was pushed against a wall. Shi Wei supported herself with both her hands on the wall. Her heart was thumping so hard that she could almost felt it in her mouth. “Mr. Yun, what are you doing?” She asked, feeling intimidated.

“Why is Ms. Shi so afraid?” Yun Shen leaned in and laughed softly next to Shi Wei’s ear. “You know, I have never been interested in those who offer themselves to me.” The man picked up a few strands of her hair and twirled it around his slim fingers; his smiley eyes met Shi Wei’s panic-stricken gaze. “Your friend was too eager. She’s not really my cup of tea.”

A chill ran down Shi Wei’s spine. It’s him. He knew it. He did that to Su Su intentionally. ”Mr. Yun, why did you do that? Su Su… “

“Huhhh?” Yun Shen dragged out the word. “I’m afraid Ms. Shi does not really know me well. I have never been interested in those who offer themselves to me, but, for those who plot against me; I will always pay them back double. Your friend should be pretty satisfied with the two men I had specially chosen for her! They are both quite knowledgeable and have good family backgrounds.”

“Yun Shen, you… “ Shi Wei pushed the man away from her and raised her hand wanting to slap him. However, Yun Shen grabbed her hand and pinned it against the wall firmly clenching it. “I have never been a gentleman who’s protective towards women. Ms. Shi, that was my gift to you. Be thankful that you were not the one I offered as a sacrifice!”

Shi Wei was trembling non-stop as she was engulfed in fear. Yun Shen pushed Shi Wei away forcefully and put his hands into his pocket. He looked at the woman and said, “Even though you’re not my cup of tea, I’m sure that many other men would enjoy a top-grade treasure like you. If Ms. Shi is interested, you are welcome to look for me any time. I know plenty men who would be happy to serve you!”

Shi Wei dropped down on the floor with a traumatized look as she watched Yun Shen walk away. Her fists were clenched tightly and her body shook uncontrollably.

After Fu Xicheng settled the guests, he saw Shi Wei sitting at the main entrance in a daze. He hurried over and helped her up. “Wei, what happened?”

Shi Wei threw herself into Fu Xicheng’s arms right away. She burst out into tears as she trembled.

The man had assumed that she was upset over what happened to Su Su. He patted the woman’s back while comforting her, “You shouldn’t blame yourself for what happened tonight. It’s all… “ Fu Xicheng paused to think for a while and continued, “It’s all Qin Yue and Lin Chenghao’s fault. They went overboard.”

“Where are they now?” Shi Wei finally remembered her friend after Fu Xicheng brought it up. “I have to go and see Su Su.”

Su Su had left from the back door with Anna. Her emotions were extremely unstable at the moment and was willing to talk to anyone. Anna felt a flash of guilt as she held Su Su.

Although it was Shi Wei’s idea, she was part of the plan. Even though she had managed to save Shi Nuan, Anna had greatly underestimated Yun Shen.

“Su Su, how are you feeling?” Su Su had not stopped trembling and she looked ghastly. Anna tried to keep an eye on Su Su as she drove but she couldn’t help feeling worried. Finally, Anna parked her car by the roadside to check on Su Su. “Su Su, you have to tell me if you are not feeling well, OK?”

“Medicine! go to the pharmacy, I need medicine!” Su Su said, as she grabbed Anna’s hand. “I want to shower. Anna, I want to shower!”

“OK, Su Su. Calm down first! I’ll take you home after getting the medicine.”

“I am not going home, I don’t want to. My parents will kill me if they see me like this. Anna, what should I do? What should I do!” Su Su hugged Anna and sobbed uncontrollably. “Why? Why did they treat me that way?”

“Su Su, stop it. Calm down. Let’s go to the pharmacy first and after that I will… I will accompany you to a hotel. I will stay with you!”

“Anna, don’t leave me alone. I only have you now.” Su Su was terror-stricken. She had felt so despondent at the lounge just now that she thought of ending her life. She was feeling aggrieved over what happened. If Shi Wei had not insisted on plotting against Shi Nuan, she wouldn’t have been humiliated so badly and landed in this predicament. It was all Shi Wei’s fault.

And that Yun She was a devil. He had swapped the wine that was laced and had even gotten two men to perform the act.

“Don’t worry, I will never leave you alone, Su Su.” After Anna took Su Su to a hotel, Su Su locked herself in the bathroom for a long time and washed her body repeatedly until her skin was almost peeling off.

If Anna hadn’t dragged her out, she would still be inside the bathroom.

Anna wiped Su Su’s hair while Su Su remained in a daze. Suddenly, Su Su turned around and gripped Anna’s arm. “Anna, all these happened because of Shi Wei, it’s all her fault. I was humiliated and you were disfigured. Why is she still well? She was the cause of everything. She wanted to take revenge on Shi Nuan because she was jealous but why are we suffering the consequences?”
