I Want A Lifetime With You

Chapter 323

“Without me?” Shi Nuan looked rather upset. “Bao, you only want Mommy and Uncle, but not me?”

“Of course I want you, too!” Bao ran over and tugged at Shi Nuan’s hand to comfort her. “I love you the most! Let’s go now!”

“You’re such a good boy!” Shi Nuan couldn’t help but pinch Bao’s adorable cheeks. “Let’s go together!” Holding Bao’s hand, Shi Nuan walked off with Pei Huan following close behind.

As Li Heng reached out his hand and held Pei Huan’s hand, she shuddered slightly. Pushing his hand away, she glared at Li Heng. “Mr. Li, please don’t behave inappropriately!”

Li Heng raised an eyebrow. “I am behaving appropriately by not throwing myself at you. Huan, I’m already trying my best.”

“In that case, thank you so very much!” Pei Huan’s eyes twitched as she gritted her teeth. “Mr. Li, I didn’t know you are so shameless!”

“Likewise.”

“You’re crazy!”

Pei Huan pushed his hand away and walked off. Narrowing his eyes, Li Heng’s gaze fell on the woman in front of him.

When he held her hand just now, his restless heart felt extremely settled. If it weren’t the wrong time, he would have forced her to stay by his side. But he knew that Pei Huan wasn’t just anyone. If he treated her like that, she would just run further away from him.

Shi Nuan deliberately wanted Li Heng and Pei Huan to walk together, so she walked ahead with Bao. “Bao, do you like Uncle Li?”

“Yes!” Bao nodded. “I really like Uncle Li!”

“How much do you like him?” Shi Nuan pinched Bao’s cheek. “Who is your father?”

“You’re talking about Daddy He?” Bao raised his head and smiled innocently. “Daddy He treats me very well. He goes to work every day and makes money for me and Mommy. Mommy says that Daddy He is very tired and asks me not to bother him!”

“Then do you like Daddy He?” Shi Nuan bent down and wiped Bao’s face with a handkerchief. “Are you tired? Do you want me to carry you?”

“No, I can walk myself. Mommy says that I’m a big boy now. I can’t let other women carry me.” Bao blushed. “Aunt Nuan, am I a good boy?”

“Yes, you’re a very good boy!” Shi Nuan smiled. “You’re my favorite!”

“You’re my favorite, too!”

Li Heng followed Pei Huan from a distance. He would speed up or slow down according to her pace.

Pei Huan felt that every step she took was extremely torturous. Even though their walk through the hospital was not very long, it seemed to have taken forever.

When they reached downstairs, Shi Nuan had already brought Bao over to a flower patch. It seemed like Shi Nuan really liked Bao as she often tried to make him laugh.

When Pei Huan saw Shi Nuan interacting with Bao, her expression grew gentler.

Coming back this time, she never expected that Bao would willingly become close to someone else. “Bao!”

“Mommy! Aunt Nuan says she’ll bring me to the amusement park tomorrow!” Bao jumped down and ran over to his mother. “She says that Uncle Li will be going, too. She says that there’ll be slides, and…”

“Bao!” Pei Huan interrupted Bao hesitantly, “Bao, your body is still weak. You can’t go to the amusement park.”

“But I want to go!” Bao pouted, looking as if he was going to cry.

“If Bao wants to go, then let him go. Why must you make him cry?” Li Heng was distressed when he saw Bao in tears and went to hold his hand. “Why don’t I bring you there tomorrow?”

“Yay!” Bao immediately smiled through his tears. “I want to go with Uncle! Uncle is so nice to me.”

“But…” Pei Huan was still worried. “Bao is…”

“Huan, it’ll be okay. We’ll all go along and look after Bao!” Shi Nuan felt that Pei Huan was being overly anxious. “Did… did anything happen to Bao before?”

“No, nothing.” Pei Huan shook her head. “Did you say you want to go the supermarket?”

“That’s right.” Shi Nuan grinned and nodded. “Li Heng, my car is too small. Where’s your car?”

“Give me a moment!” Carrying Bao, Li Heng went to the car park to drive the car out. He placed Bao on the child seat and buckled his safety belt. Seeing Bao’s curious expression, he pinched Bao’s cheek and asked, “Bao, why doesn’t Mommy want you to go to the amusement park?”

Bao said timidly, “There are bad guys at the playground who want to snatch me away. Mommy cried!”

Li Heng was instantly filled with rage. Only when he saw Bao did he suppress his emotions. “When I bring you there, no one will snatch you away, alright?”

After Li Heng made sure Bao was alright, he drove the car out of the carpark. Just then, Liang Lin called him. “Mr. Li, I have already sent you the information about He Beiting. Over the years, he often traveled to various countries, especially C Country. He is indeed married to your wife, but they don’t live together. And I just found out that four years ago, He Beiting was in Jiang City!”

Li Heng’s grip on the steering wheel tightened and there was a steely look in his eyes. “And?”

“That’s all for now. I haven’t investigated the rest yet. Mr. Li, do you want to take a look?”

“Continue investigating.”

He was at Jiang City four years ago? He felt it was too coincidental, given that Pei Huan left Jiang City three years and seven months ago.

As Li Heng and Bao went to get the car, Shi Nuan and Pei Huan waited at the entrance of the hospital. Seeing that Pei Huan was fixated on the direction which Li Heng had headed, Shi Nuan said, “Huan, don’t worry. Li Heng won’t do anything to Bao.”

“You’re not him, how would… how would… I’m sorry.” In an agitated state, Pei Huan suddenly realized that there were certain things she shouldn’t be saying. “I was just…just too nervous.”

“It’s alright!” Shi Nuan shook her head. The more nervous Pei Huan was, the more it proved that Li Heng’s relationship with the child wasn’t as simple as it looked.

“Jiazhen?” A surprised voice drifted over, interrupting Shi Nuan and Pei Huan’s conversation.

When Pei Huan heard this voice, she frowned and turned around to see Fu Jiaqi and Lai Jingdong.

Fu Jiaqi seemed to be injured and was limping. When she saw Pei Huan, she lit up. “Jiazhen, I am Jiaqi. Don’t you remember me anymore?”

Narrowing her eyes, Pei Huan sneered, “Of course I remember you. After all, you’ve left such a deep impression on me!” As Pei Huan spoke, her gaze fell on the man beside Fu Jiaqi. “Mr. Lai, long time no see!” NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

“Pei Huan, it’s been a while!”

Pei Huan’s lips curled up. “Mr. Lai, this is?”

“Jiaqi and I are married.” Lai Jingdong said as his gaze fell on Pei Huan, scanning her from head to toe as if he’s assessing a precious jade.

Pei Huan knitted her brows slightly. “Congratulations. I was abroad for a while and didn’t get the chance to attend your wedding.”

“Jiazhen, since you’re back, we will have plenty of opportunities to meet in the future. We can still meet for a meal in the future and treat it like a wedding banquet.”

“Really? Do you plan to have another wedding?

Fu Jiaqi stiffened and looked at Pei Huan in embarrassment, “Jiazhen, I didn’t mean that. I was just…”

“Ms. Fu, you’d better call me Pei Huan. After all, this was the name your mother gave me.”

“You…” Fu Jiaqi pulled a long face.

The biggest blemish in Pei Huan’s life was having a shameless mother like Lin Yunjia. If it weren’t for Lin Yunjia, she would be the Young Madam of the Fu family and would never have landed in this current state. “Jiazhen, I know you dislike me because I took away your status as the Young Madam. But that was out of my control. Back then, I was so young. I didn’t know anything.”

“Oh, you’re so innocent.” Pei Huan sneered, “You’re so innocent that even though you knew I was the daughter of the Fu family, you still tried to kill me?” Pei Huan was already in a bad mood, and now that she had met Fu Jiaqi, she was in an even worse mood. “Ms. Fu, you’re still using my family’s surname? Don’t you find it annoying? Why don’t you ask your mother who your father is?”

“I…”

“Pei Huan, Jiaqi isn’t feeling well. I’ll bring her to see a doctor now!” Lai Jingdong interrupted Pei Huan and prepared to leave together with Fu Jiaqi. But Fu Jiaqi was still upset.

She was in such a sorry state at the moment. Turning to look at Lai Jingdong, she noticed that from the moment he saw Pei Huan, his gaze never shifted from her.

“Jingdong, Jiazhen and I are sisters. Now that she’s back, how can we not have a meal together…”

“Have a meal together? I’m afraid you’re not worthy of that!”

Li Heng drove the car over and stopped in front of them.

Rolling down the window, Li Heng’s gaze fell onto Fu Jiaqi. When she looked into his ebony eyes, she felt a sense of terror. Even Lai Jingdong could sense her fear.

Fu Jiaqi shuddered and hurriedly grabbed Lai Jingdong’s hands.

Li Heng sneered, “Mrs. Li, you shouldn’t be out and about if your injury hasn’t healed. Mr. Lai, aren’t you worried about your wife?”

Li Heng stepped out of the car and stood next to Pei Huan as if he was her bodyguard. He looked at Fu Jiaqi and Lai Jingdong frostily.

By now, Fu Jiaqi was scared out of her wits. She couldn’t stop trembling at the sight of Li Heng. And when Lai Jingdong saw Li Heng and Pei Huan standing together, his face was filled with mixed emotions.

“Li Heng, I’ll go to Bao first,” Shi Nuan said. Li Heng glanced at Shi Nuan and nodded. “Thank you.”

When Shi Nuan opened the car door and went in, she saw Bao sitting on the child seat looking curiously out of the window. “Bao!”

“Aunt, why aren’t Mommy and Uncle in the car yet?”
