I Want A Lifetime With You

Chapter 322

Su Shaoqing couldn’t help but laugh. “How considerate.” He then headed into the office with Shi Nuan following him. “Of course. Li Heng is Yan’s brother and Huan is Yan’s sister. Naturally, I hope they will have their happily ever after. Besides, Bao…”

“What about Bao?” Even though Su Shaoqing had only caught a glimpse of Bao just now, he found the boy adorable. “You mean he looks like Li Heng?”

“You think so too?” Shi Nuan’s eyes gleamed. “Look, this is the video I took when they were not aware.”

Shi Nuan passed her phone over to Su Shaoqing. After watching it, Su Shaoqing glanced at her. “Mrs. Fu, you’re incredible. Don’t worry. Even if Huan leaves now, Li Heng will still find a way to make her come back.”

Li Heng had always been very patient with Pei Huan.

Back then, Su Shaoqing had evidenced the relationship between the two and knew that Li Heng was not someone who would give up easily.

“Let’s go back to Aunt Ning’s condition. Huan plans to arrange for a checkup for her, followed by surgery. She’s discussed this with Dr. Li and he thinks it’s a good idea, too.”

“Since it is so, then she should go ahead!” As long as it was beneficial for Ning Xin, it must be done.

“Is Pei Huan staying at Wutong Residence now?” Su Shaoqing suddenly asked Shi Nuan as she was about to leave. Shi Nuan paused for a moment, then nodded. “That’s right. She’s accompanying Bao. What’s the matter?”

Su Shaoqing stroked his chin and smiled innocently. Shi Nuan sensed that something was not quite right, particularly the way Su Shaoqing was smiling. It actually looked quite horrifying.

Shi Nuan had known Su Shaoqing for a rather long time, but whenever Su Shaoqing smiled, Shi Nuan would somehow develop a bad feeling. “Dr. Su, what are you thinking about?”

“Oh, nothing much!” Su Shaoqing gave a friendly smile. “Mrs. Fu, we haven’t had hotpot in a very long time. It’s good weather to go for hotpot. Why don’t we go to your house for hotpot today?”

Shi Nuan knitted her brows. “Mr. Su…”

“What’s wrong? You’re unwilling?”

Shi Nuan couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “Of course you can come, but you seem to be up to something.”

“Don’t say that! I only feel like the group of us haven’t caught up in a very long time. And now Pei Huan is back, too!”

Shi Nuan’s mouth twitched. “So Li Heng will be there, too?”

Su Shaoqing nodded. “Of course!”

“Okay then. I’ll inform Yan about it.”

Fu Chengyan was just coming down from a meeting when Shi Nuan called him. “May.”

“Yan, are you busy now?”

“I just ended a meeting.” Fu Chengyan replied, glancing at Zhou Zheng and Mai Qi. Tacitly, the two left the room.

Fu Chengyan then headed to a quieter area. “What’s the matter?”

“Oh, Mr. Su suggests that we have hotpot at Wutong Residence tonight. Are you free?” As Shi Nuan spoke, she caught sight of Su Shaoqing looking at her intently. Rolling her eyes, she continued, “Li Heng will be there too!”

Fu Chengyan raised an eyebrow. “Okay!”

“Alright then. Since I have nothing on now, and Huan and Li Heng are with Aunt Ning, I’ll go to the supermarket to buy the ingredients.”

“Okay. Let Shaoqing go with you!” Fu Chengyan rested against the window. “I’d be worried if you go there alone.”

“Why are you worried? Mr. Su is busy right now. I can go there by myself!”

“No!” Fu Chengyan objected. “I’m not okay with you going alone. How about you ask Li Heng to go with you?”

“I…” Shi Nuan was taken aback. She didn’t understand why Fu Chengyan was being so protective. But noting Fu Chengyan’s tone, she reluctantly nodded. “Alright then. I’ll go to the ward to find Li Heng later.”

After Shi Nuan hung up, she glanced at Su Shaoqing. “Yan agreed. I’ll go prepare the ingredients now. See you tonight at Wutong Residence!”

As soon as Fu Chengyan hung up, he immediately called Li Heng. Li Heng was talking to Bao at the time, with Pei Huan watching them anxiously from the side as though Li Heng might kidnap Bao at any moment.

Li Heng narrowed his eyes. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Give Bao back to me!”

Li Heng curled his lips into a smile. “Alright. Why don’t you come and carry him?”

“You…” Pei Huan glared at Li Heng furiously.

He knew that she wouldn’t get angry in front of Ning Xin. Since Bao liked him, Pei Huan couldn’t possibly snatch Bao away from Li Heng. “The child isn’t yours. Don’t you look so smug!”

“I like everything of yours!”

“You…”

Pei Huan’s heart shuddered. Turning around, she saw that Ning Xin had fallen asleep. She gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at Li Heng. “Li Heng, don’t forget that we’re over. Can you stop living in the past? We should look toward the future. I’m already married and have a kid. We can’t go back to how we used to be.”

Li Heng’s gaze suddenly turned cold. Raising his head, he stared at Pei Huan. “I haven’t signed the divorce papers yet, so our divorce isn’t valid. Pei Huan, you are still my wife. Wait, did you re-marry?”

“You…” Pei Huan gritted her teeth. “We have lived apart for three years now. I’ll go and apply to the courts for a divorce.”

“Is that so?” Li Heng said coldly, “Pei Huan, as long as I say we’re not divorced, who’d dare to say otherwise?”

“Li Heng, is that all you can say?”

“I know how to do many other things as well. Haven’t you witnessed them before?” Li Heng said. Just then, his phone rang. With Bao in one hand, he picked up his phone with the other hand. “Hello?”

“Li Heng, please go to the supermarket with my wife.”

“Fu Chengyan, that is your wife, not mine.” Li Heng knitted his brows tightly. “You should be the one accompanying her! I want to accompany my wife.”

“Hmph!” Through the phone, Fu Chengyan heard how annoyed Li Heng was. Raising an eyebrow, he scoffed, “Li Heng, someone annoyed you?”

“If you’re bored, go entertain yourself. I have no time to entertain you!” Just as Li Heng was about to hang up the phone, Fu Chengyan said softly, “Su Shaoqing wants us to gather for hotpot at Wutong Residence tonight. Huan and Bao are both at Wutong Residence. Do you want to go?”

“Chengyan, you’re so cunning!” Li Heng clenched his teeth. “Where is Shi Nuan now?”

“Oh, at the hospital, with Shaoqing.” Fu Chengyan grinned. “Remember to pay for her!”

Fu Chengyan!

Clasping his phone, Li Heng’s eyes were filled with a murderous gaze. But when he hung up and saw the child sitting on his lap, Li Heng’s gaze softened and his lips curled into a smile. “Bao, how about I bring you out to play?”

“Yay!” Bao clapped his hands. “Are you going to bring me to the amusement park?”

“No!” Pei Huan objected. “Bao is still not in good health; he shouldn’t go to crowded places.”

Li Heng raised an eyebrow. “What’s wrong with him? He looks very healthy!” Li Heng felt that Pei Huan was just deliberately making things up so that Bao would not go with him, while Pei Huan thought Li Heng was being inappropriate.

“Bao would like to go, too,” said the boy himself.

You…”

Just then, Shi Nuan knocked on the door. “Li Heng, could you please come with me?”

Seeing that Shi Nuan was here, his mood improved slightly. He nodded. “Chengyan has already called me.”

“I’ll have to trouble you then. Yan is worried that something might happen if I go alone. Mr. Su is busy, so you’re the only one available.”

Li Heng nodded and passed Bao back to Pei Huan. “Let’s go, then!”

Suddenly, a small child flew into his arms. Bao started crying. ”Why aren’t you bringing me out to play? You’re a bad person.”

As Li Heng walked towards the door, he heard Bao cry and stopped. He glanced sideways at Pei Huan.

Pei Huan pursed her lips. She never thought that Bao liked Li Heng so much that he would dash out of Pei Huan’s arms and run to Li Heng. Hugging his leg, Bao cried, “Uncle, bring me with you!” The boy looked up at him with teary eyes, making Li Heng feel extremely bad. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

He looked into Bao’s eyes and reached out his hand to gently pat Bao’s head. “Bao, behave and stay here with your mother. I…I need to go out with Aunt Nuan for a while!”

“Why can’t you bring me and Mommy along?” Bao asked innocently.

Li Heng glanced at Pei Huan from the corner of his eye. Seeing Pei Huan’s conflicted expression, he frowned at her. “Bao is still a kid. Can’t you just let him do what he wants?”

“I…”

“Mommy, I want to play with Uncle!”

Caught in a dilemma, Pei Huan looked at Bao.

Bao was her flesh and blood. How could she bear for him to be upset? But that man was Li Heng! If Bao ends up..

Thinking of this possibility, Pei Huan suddenly felt breathless. “No. If you want to play, I can play with you.”

“Boo-hoo… Mommy doesn’t love me anymore.”

“Bao, don’t cry!” Hearing Bao cry, Shi Nuan felt her heart ache slightly and immediately bent down to coax Bao. “Bao, you want to go out?”

Bao nodded.

Shi Nuan smiled. “Then I’ll bring you out, alright? Uncle will come along, too.” As she spoke, Shi Nuan glanced at Pei Huan. “Huan, you can come along, too, if you want.”

“But I don’t want to leave my mother alone.”

“Huan, I’m alright. Your dad is coming soon anyway.” Ning Xin woke up amid the argument. Seeing Bao crying, she said tenderly, “Bao is still so young. How can you make him cry like that?”

“Mom…”

“Alright, why don’t you both go out? I want to rest. I can’t rest properly if you’re here!” Ning Xin chased them out. Pei Huan couldn’t bear to see Bao cry, either, and said to her mother, “Fine, we’ll bring Bao out. But if anything comes up, you must call me at once.”

“What issue could I possibly have? Besides, this is Shaoqing’s hospital. As long as Shaoqing is here, why are you still worried? Go quickly! Don’t make Bao cry anymore!”

“Alright then.” Pei Huan gave in. “I’ll bring Bao out for a walk.”

“Yay! Bao, Mommy, and Uncle are going out to play!”
