I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 327

Uncle?

Pei Huan froze. It took her a while to remember that there was a little girl from the Ning family who went missing at a young age. Is it Ning Guoquan’s daughter?

Pei Huan didn’t know much about the Fu clan and the Ning family, but she knew that Ning Xin fell out with her own family because they opposed her marriage with Fu Heng. Even when Pei Huan returned to Fu Residence, she knew little about the Fu clan. As for the Ning family, both Fu Heng and Ning Xin were reluctant to talk about them.

“Let’s go downstairs and have dinner.”

With Bao in his arms, Fu Chengyan went downstairs with Pei Huan. Shi Nuan was calling out to everyone to come and eat when she saw Fu Chengyan and Pei Huan appearing at the stairs. “Where’s Su?”

Placing Bao on the seat next to Li Heng, Fu Chengyan replied, “He left just now for an emergency operation.”Fully awake, Bao beamed at the sight of Li Heng.

“Uncle Li, I want to eat!”

“Sure!” Li Heng smiled at Bao and got a bowl for him.

When Pei Huan entered the dining room, she saw Li Heng carrying Bao and adjusting him on the seat. She was actually displeased to see Li Heng and Bao getting along so well.

“What are you waiting for, Huan?” Seeing Pei Huan standing blankly on the spot, Shi Nuan gestured to the seat beside Li Heng. “Have a seat here.”

Pei Huan regained her senses and frowned. “It’s okay, I’ll sit elsewhere.”

“Mommy, come and sit here!” Bao pointed to the seat next to Li Heng. “I want you to feed me!”

Pei Huan couldn’t bring herself to reject Bao despite her reluctance to sit beside Li Heng. Everyone watched warily as she sat down next to Li Heng with a distasteful expression etched on her face.

Once everyone was seated, Shi Nuan said, “Let’s tuck in! Huan and I bought the fresh ingredients together.”

“I helped too!” Bao chimed in.

“You’re right, Bao. I forgot.” Softened by Bao’s innocence, Shi Nuan reached out and pinched his face playfully. “You’re the best!”

Bao beamed at her. “Uncle Li helped too!”

Shi Nuan raised her brows slightly and murmured, “Yes, Uncle Li helped too.”

Awkward, Pei Huan kept her head down and concentrated on feeding Bao.

Bao’s dinner was specially prepared by Shi Nuan because he couldn’t eat spicy food at his age. Grateful for Shi Nuan’s thoughtfulness, Pei Huan praised her cooking skills and marveled at Fu Chengyan’s luck.

As Pei Huan fed Bao, Li Heng kept placing food in her bowl. She declined at first, but as he became too annoying, she stopped bothering about it and ate silently.

The more she paid him attention, the more irritating he would get.

However, Pei Huan underestimated Li Heng’s ability to behave shamelessly. He didn’t stop placing food in her bowl as an attempt to please her even if she ignored him.

The dinner was great. It was just that everyone seemed to be troubled by their own thoughts during that meal.

After the meal, Pei Huan carried Bao out to the backyard for a walk while Li Heng remained in the living room. Feeling stuffy, he finally got up and decided to take a stroll.

Pei Huan felt his presence the moment he opened the door. Her face darkened as soon as she saw him. “Why are you still here?”

“Can’t wait for me to leave?” Li Heng narrowed his eyes. “But since this house belongs to Chengyan, I don’t think you can force me to leave!”

“You…” Furious, she snapped, “Fine, I’ll leave then!”

Li Heng grabbed her hand firmly. “Huan.”

Pei Huan shuddered when he touched her. “Let go of me,” she warned.

Li Heng stared at her for a long while before heaving a sigh. “Come back to Wuyun Residence with me, Huan. Aunt Zhang… She misses you a lot.”

Aunt Zhang?

Pei Huan raised her head and looked into Li Heng’s eyes. “Is Aunt Zhang okay?”

“She’s fine. She’s very happy to know that you’re back.” The corner of Li Heng’s lips twitched as he knew that Pei Huan would fall for this. “Come back with me!”

However, she shook his grip off her and said, “Then there’s nothing I should worry about. Tell Aunt Zhang that I will visit her once I have the time.”

Aunt Zhang treated her as her own family. Back when Pei Huan was staying at Wuyun Residence, Aunt Zhang was always there for her whenever Li Heng wasn’t around. Pei Huan was grateful for her, but that didn’t mean that she must follow Li Heng back.

Li Heng frowned. “Wuyun Residence is your home, so you…”

“You are indeed forgetful, aren’t you? We’re no longer related to each other. I’m one of the Fus now, and therefore I reside at Fu Residence.”

Li Heng pursed his lips, looking rather pale. “But Bao…” Something bad may have already happened to Bao.
