I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 321

Shi Nuan nodded. “I won’t say it, of course, but…” She was still a little worried. “What if Li Heng and Huan don’t get back together? Huan implied that she won’t stay here for long.”

“You don’t have to worry about this.” Fu Chengyan flashed her a smile and walked out of the study holding her hand. “Since Huan has returned, Li Heng won’t let her go so easily.” How could he let her go so easily after having waited for three years?

On the following day, Fu Chengyan had to go to work so Shi Nuan took Pei Huan to the hospital. As Ning Xin’s condition didn’t allow any more delays, Pei Huan went directly to Su Shaoqing. “Dr. Su!”

“Mrs. Li!” Seeing Pei Huan, Su Shaoqing flashed her an innocent grin as he moved a chair over. “Have a seat, Mrs. Li!”

Pei Huan glanced at Su Shaoqing. “Dr. Su, I have now divorced from Li Heng, so don’t call me Mrs. Li. You should just call me Pei Huan or Fu Jiazhen!”

Su Shaoqing squinted at Pei Huan. Instead of feeling embarrassed, he burst into laughter. “Oh well, it’s good that you dumped a man like Li Heng. You can easily find someone younger and richer than Li Heng anyway.” Su Shaoqing waved his hand nonchalantly. “I’ll stick to Pei Huan then. I feel awkward when I call you by your other name.”

“Okay!” Pei Huan was fine with it——it was just a name. She then added, “I came here today to ask you about my mom’s condition. I didn’t find it appropriate to ask too many questions yesterday.”

Su Shaoqing nodded and assumed a serious look again. “Wait a minute. I’ll call someone in!” Su Shaoqing got up and walked to the desk to make a phone call. “Dr. Li, please come to the office!”

After Su Shaoqing hung up the phone, he looked at Pei Huan. “Dr. Li is the attending doctor of Aunt Ning.”

“The same doctor as three years ago?”

Su Shaoqing gave a slight nod. “Aunt Ning’s health is no longer as good as before. It’s a relief that you can come back.”

“I want my mom to go through surgery as soon as possible.” This matter couldn’t be delayed anymore. Pei Huan felt guilty for Ning Xin as she did not know that so many things had happened to the latter during her three-year absence.

“Huan, we can’t rush things. Besides, we haven’t seen each other for three years. We aren’t clear on your current health condition, nor do we have a good idea of Aunt Ning’s health. I’m just worried that your aunt’s body will reject it!”

“How could it be? I thought three years ago—”

“You also said that it was three years ago. We can’t rush things. We still have to do some examinations and wait for the results before we can make the decision.”

As soon as Su Shaoqing finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. After he gave the person permission to come in, Dr. Li was seen rushing inside. “What can I do for you, Director?”

“Dr. Li, please have a seat. This is Ning Xin’s daughter.” Su Shaoqing pointed at Pei Huan.

Dr. Li looked at Pei Huan. “Hi, Ms. Pei, it’s been a while.”

“Hi, Dr. Li, as you’re my mom’s attending doctor, I’d like to know her condition!”

Ever since Pei Huan came out of Su Shaoqing’s office, she had been looking ghastly. She pinched the space between her eyebrows and checked the time before walking toward Ning Xin’s ward.

Pei Huan walked to the door of the ward and heard laughter coming from inside—Bao sounded very happy. However, Pei Huan stood outside the ward with mixed feelings.

Bao was already more than three years old. In fact, there was no problem with him when he was just born. It was just that something happened a year ago, after which he started to resent communicating with others.

She originally didn’t plan to bring him back with her, but He Beiting was not at home. If she left on her own, no one would take care of Bao. Thus, she could only bring him along. At first, she was worried that he would feel scared because he was in an unfamiliar environment, but it turned out she did not need to worry about this as he seemed to be quite happy here.

Shi Nuan was peeling an apple for Ning Xin, and when she looked up she saw Pei Huan standing at the door. Shi Nuan said with a smile, “You’re back, Huan.”

Only then did the ward quiet down, with Bao taking the lead. He got off Li Heng’s lap and ran to Pei Huan to wrap his arms around her thigh. “Mommy, the uncle just said that he will take me to the amusement park.”

Amusement park?

Pei Huan looked up at Li Heng in dismay.

“Why are you here?” Pei Huan’s tone was harsh. She was too focused on Bao just now and didn’t realize that Li Heng was present as well. Noticing that Bao seemed to like Li Heng, a look of worry crept onto her face.

Meanwhile, Li Heng was worried that Bao would fall while the latter jumped off his lap. Li Heng had a gentle smile as he watched Bao run up to Pei Huan.

Sensing the tension in the atmosphere, Shi Nuan hurriedly said, “Li Heng is here to visit Aunt Ning. Umm, what did the doctor say, Huan?”

After getting Li Heng to peel an apple, Shi Nuan stood up and carried Bao. “Bao seems to like Li Heng very much!”

After Shi Nuan finished speaking, Pei Huan’s entire face turned pale. She carried Bao over in a hurry as if she were worried that he would be stolen from her. With Bao in her arms, she said, “Let me carry him, Nuan!”

After that, she walked up to Li Heng. “Mr. Li, given you have visited my mom, please leave now if there’s nothing else.”

Li Heng pursed his lips. He didn’t listen to Pei Huan and continued to peel the apple with his head down. If one were to pay close attention, one would feel as if a storm were brewing. Li Heng knitted his brows, but he didn’t get angry even after a long time had passed.

He finally looked up after he finished peeling an apple and glanced at Pei Huan indifferently. “I came to visit Mom, not you!”

“She’s my mom.” I have not seen such a shameless person.

“Yeah, our mom!” Li Heng handed the peeled apple to Ning Xin. “For you, Mom!”

“Ah, yes.” Ning Xin looked at them and sighed inwardly without saying anything. She decided to stay out of the affairs between the two.

Looking at the heartwarming scene before her, Shi Nuan could not help but record it with her phone. She then sent the video to Fu Chengyan with a text that read: Look, Yan. Don’t they look like a family? How blissful!
