I Want a Lifetime with You novel 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!”

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.
