I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 319

Su Shaoqing gave him a sympathetic look and clicked his tongue as he made his remark.

Li Heng narrowed his eyes. “Shaoqing, are you itching for a beating?”

Su Shaoqing tensed up and quickly backed away. “Hehe… Why are you looking at me like that? I’m not the one who did this to you… But, this child…” Su Shaoqing couldn’t shake the feeling that something was odd.

Li Heng was growing impatient. “Don’t you have anything else to do?”

“Of course I do! In fact, I’ve got tons of stuff to do! Take care, buddy!” Su Shaoqing gave him a pat on the shoulder and sighed.

If Pei Huan really is married to someone else and that child belongs to her current husband, then… Li Heng won’t stand a chance at winning her back at all! Sure, Li Heng has always gotten what he wanted, but Pei Huan isn’t your average girl! She’s Fu Chengyan’s sister, and that alone means even Li Heng can’t do anything to her! Besides, even if he were to tear apart their relationship, there’s no guarantee that Pei Huan would go back to him!

Li Heng glared at Su Shaoqing as he disappeared into the distance. For the first time in my life, I actually feel like strangling that guy!

Fu Heng was cutting up some fruits while chatting with Ning Xin. They thought Su Shaoqing had returned when they heard the footsteps belonging to Shi Nuan and Pei Huan coming through the door. Fu Heng called out, “Don’t worry, Shaoqing. We’ve got everything taken care of here, so you… Huan?”

Shi Nuan had to quickly grab hold of Fu Heng’s knife to stop him from accidentally cutting his finger due to the shock. “Uncle Heng, Aunt Ning. Look who’s here!”

“Is it really you, Huan?” Fu Heng got up immediately and turned towards Ning Xin. “Ning, look! Huan’s back! She’s really back!”

“Oh, Huan! My baby!” Ning Xin sat up straight as well. “Mom, Dad, I’m sorry for being such an unfilial daughter. I should’ve come back sooner!” Pei Huan said with her face full of tears.

She walked up to them and knelt on the floor. “It’s all my fault! It’s because of my selfishness that you two…”

“Hey, get up!” Fu Heng was tearing up as well when he helped her to her feet.

It’s been three years… She was full of scars when she left, and now she’s finally back…

“I’m sorry, Dad!” Pei Huan threw herself into Fu Heng’s arms. “It’s all my fault!”

“Silly girl, I’m just glad you’re back!” Fu Heng gave her a gentle pat on the shoulder and turned towards Shi Nuan. “We’re sorry to have troubled you like this, Nuan!”

“Not at all, Uncle Heng!” Shi Nuan chuckled and pulled a chair over. “Don’t just stand around, guys! Come on, take a seat!” She then walked towards the door and called out, “Li Heng!”

Li Heng shot her an awkward glance but Shi Nuan simply smiled at him and said, “If you trust me, let me carry Bao. Pei Huan and her parents are catching up on old times right now, so your showing up might ruin the mood.”

Li Heng pursed his lips. The woman whom he had been waiting three years for was right before his eyes, and yet he felt as if they were on the opposite ends of Earth.

“Say, do you believe that Pei Huan has gotten married?”

Li Heng frowned. “What do you mean?”

“She’s going to be staying here in Jiang City for quite a while, so I’m sure you’ll be able to find out if she really has a husband in C Country as well as the identity of this child’s father. All you have to do right now is give Pei Huan some space and let her spend time with her parents.”

Li Heng clenched his fists.

“I think Bao looks…kinda like you.” Shi Nuan smiled and took Bao over when Li Heng appeared stunned. Noticing that Bao was about to wake up, she hummed softly in his ears to help him go back to sleep.

Li Heng’s expression eased up, too, when he saw how adorable Bao looked.

Shi Nuan giggled when she saw Li Heng’s rare display of gentleness. “They say blood is thicker than water. I bet you’d be really angry if Bao were someone else’s child, huh?”

Li Heng paused for a moment and smiled as if he had thought of something. “Oh my, this is embarrassing.”

“Nah, you were just too worried, that’s all!” Shi Nuan continued patting Bao on the shoulder while peeking into the ward. “Now, how about you go do what you have to do instead of standing around here like this?”

Li Heng nodded and glanced at the ward as he walked past the door, his eyes filled with affection and longingness.

Shi Nuan waited till Li Heng had left before going inside. “Uncle Heng, Aunt Ning, look who it is!”

“What…” Fu Heng got up and took a good long look at Bao. He couldn’t help but feel that Bao seemed somewhat familiar. “Nuan, this child…”

“Dad, this is my son, Bao!” Pei Huan stood up and took Bao over from Shi Nuan. “Here, I’ll hold him!”

“Good idea! He may be little but he’s quite heavy! I’ve only been holding him for a short while and my arms are aching already!” Shi Nuan laughed. “Look, Aunt Ning! Isn’t he just adorable?”

“Bring him closer, I want to get a closer look!” Ning Xin seemed to be feeling a lot better when she saw the child.
