I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 312

Li Heng and Fu Heng walked to the next ward. Fu Heng found a seat and sat down, whereas Li Heng remained standing. Fu Heng gave Li Heng a look and waved his hand. “Have a seat!”

“Ok!” Li Heng sat himself down. “Dad, Mom’s illness cannot be left untreated any longer.”

Fu Heng raised his head and looked at Li Heng sharply. After a while, the former said, “You have a way to get Huan to return?”

“It’s not 100% foolproof, but I’m 70% sure my plan will work.” Pei Huan would never stand around and do nothing while her mother’s condition deteriorates. She could never be at peace with herself if anything were to happen to Ning Xin.

Li Heng knew Pei Huan well enough to know that she longed for her family more than anything else, even if she might act as if nothing mattered to her.

Just like years ago when her adoptive mother and her boyfriend betrayed her. She woman had done everything in her power to get revenge, but she let go of her resentment in the end because of Pei Qingcheng, her adoptive father. Pei Qingcheng had taught her well.

If it weren’t for the misunderstanding between the two of them, Pei Huan wouldn’t have abandoned the family members she just met.

Li Heng figured Pei Huan would visit Ning Xin no matter how much she hated him.

She never returned during these three years because of two main reasons. She didn’t want to see him; two, she knew Ning Xin would be in good hands with Fu Heng around.

Fu Heng closed his eyes and sighed. “I don’t know what happened between you and Huan, but you betrayed her trust first. If she doesn’t agree to be with you even if she returns, you should not force yourself on her.”

Li Heng clenched his fists. He frowned and kept quiet about it.

“Li Heng, Huan is a grown-up now. If she isn’t willing…”

“Fine!” Li Heng nodded. “As long as she returns!” He couldn’t care less about anything else.

“You must have heard from Fu Chengyan that He Beiting is returning soon. I’m worried about Huan being on her own out there.” Li Heng paused before saying, “I can ensure her safety as long as she is within my reach.”

Fu Heng was silent for a moment. He had a vague impression of He Beiting, who was just slightly older than Li Heng. Rumors had it that he was a child born out of wedlock…

Fu Heng couldn’t quite remember what happened to him. He only knew that Li Heng’s uncle had disappeared after that. Li Group must be the sole reason for his return this time around.

“How can I trust you when you failed to protect Huan years ago when she was by your side?” This was another reason why Fu Heng wasn’t very fond of Li Heng.

Li Heng frowned. “I will do everything in my power to ensure her safety. I will be by her side wherever she goes.”

“Ok then. I look forward to hearing some good news from you. However, not even Yan knows where she is at the moment. How are you…”

“I have an idea in mind.” Li Heng stood up. “It’s getting late.”

Fu Heng nodded. “You can head back first then.”

Li Heng left desolately.

He felt drained after meeting up with Fu Heng even though the meeting wasn’t as bad as he initially thought it would be. He wasn’t afraid of Fu Heng – he just wanted to impress him.

When Li Heng got into his car, he noticed that Fu Chengyan was still hanging around. He looked at Fu Chengyan in surprise. “Don’t you have anything else to do?”

Fu Chengyan reached for a pack of cigarettes from the side of the car. “I thought you’ve quit smoking?”

Li Heng took the pack of cigarettes away from him and pursed his lips. “It’s none of your business!”

Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes. “I’m surprised you’re still in one piece after meeting up with Fu Heng.”

Li Heng raised his brows and looked at Fu Chengyan disapprovingly. “What is it?”

“You must be serious about Huan… Have you decided not to let her go this time?” Fu Chengyan straightened up and looked into Li Heng’s deep-set eyes. The latter’s hands were placed on the steering wheel as he stared straight ahead with a sharp gaze.

Li Heng shot him a look. “Stop sounding me out. I wouldn’t have dragged it out if not for this.”

He could only feel at ease by keeping his enemies close.

Moreover, it had been three years, seven months, and thirteen days since Pei Huan left him. It’s been long enough.

Li Heng clutched the pack of cigarettes in one hand. After a long while, he said, “I found out that Shen Qianan has been frequenting K Nation recently. I’m not sure who brought her there, but she’s a ticking time bomb, so you’d better be careful of her. Moreover, make use of your connections and spread the news about my mother-in-law’s condition. I’m sure that won’t be a difficult task for you.”
