I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 332

“Heng, please come back. You have not seen Cenbei for a long time too.” Li Xinzhi sighed. “I heard… that woman is back too?”

Li Heng looked up and met Pei Huan’s gaze. “You mean Pei Huan?” Li Heng raised his brows with a smirk. “Did Li Xufan tell you that, or did Uncle Bei?”

“Uncle Bei? How is your Uncle Bei… What do you mean by this?” Li Xinzhi was about to ask further when Li Heng replied, “Since you want me to go back so much, then I shall go back this time and bring back a gift for you.”

Li Heng hung up the call and glanced at Pei Huan with mixed feelings.

Pei Huan felt her heart jolt when she noticed his gaze. She unconsciously tightened her grip around Bao. That gaze of his…

Li Heng approached them and knelt to stroke Bao’s hair. He noticed how Bao’s hair was damp with sweat, so he took out his handkerchief and wiped his sweat for him. “Alright, enough playing? Hmm?”

“But…” Bao was not having enough fun yet, but he nodded his head obediently when he saw her mother’s expression. “Ok. Can you bring me here again one day, Uncle Li?”

“Of course I can. As long as you’re a good boy, I will bring you here again.” Li Heng scooped Bao into his arms and glanced at Pei Huan. “My grandfather just called,” he tried to explain to Pei Huan.

But the woman merely snorted. “Why are you telling me this? I don’t have anything to do with you now.”

Li Heng’s gaze turned icy. “Li Cenbei has returned to the Li Residence.”

Pei Huan looked up in shock. Her lips quivered as she struggled to say something, but nothing came out of her mouth.

Upon seeing how stunned she looked, Li Heng felt a hint of pain flashed in him. “All these years, do you think he has been sincerely nice to you? He hates the Li clan and every member of that family to the core.”

Pei Huan uttered through quivering lips. “But what does that have to do with me…”

“If it weren’t because of me, do you think he would have gotten close to you in the first place? I don’t know what happened between the two of you and how you came across each other, but… Li Cenbei is not like how you know him. He is taking revenge on the Li clan!”

“Then what about you?” Pei Huan scoffed. “Don’t you think I’m oblivious to your plans; I know you plan to do the same as him. Aren’t you taking revenge on them for choosing Li Xufan over you? You were exiled out of the clan because of the words of a mere fortune-teller. Don’t tell me you don’t hate them over that?”

“I do hate them,” Li Heng admitted with pursed lips.

Pei Huan was surprised; she didn’t think Li Heng would admit to her accusations like that.

Li Heng only smirked when he saw how surprised she looked. “Huan, I’m not a saint. I am also a human with feelings. Of course, I will hate them for treating me that way. But even if I want to take revenge on them, I will never make use of you to do so.”

“What makes you think he is making use of me? And what makes you think I’ll believe that you’ll never use me?” Pei Huan cut him off coldly. “As bad as he is, he has been helping me for the past three years. I don’t care if he is taking revenge on the Li clan; that’s all none of my business!”

“Why is it none of your business? You are my wife!”

“Li Heng! How many times must I tell you that we will never get back together! Do you think my heart is made of steel? Do you think I was not wounded by what you did to me three years ago? Have you no idea how painful it was for me? Since you’ve chosen Jiang Xinyuan and her child over me, stop harassing me!”

“How should I explain myself to make you believe that I never had any relationship with Jiang Xinyuan? I was never together with her from the start!” Li Heng growled. “You can easily believe the words of others, but what about mine? Pei Huan, look me in the eyes now. I’m going to say this one last time. Jiang Xinyuan’s child belongs to a member of the Li clan, but the child is not mine! If you don’t believe me, you can come to the Li Residence with me, and I’ll show you!”

Li Heng began dragging Pei Huan to the car park after he finished speaking. Refusing to comply, Pei Huan flung his hand off her. “Enough! I said I don’t want to listen to your explanation. I don’t want to be involved in your affairs with Jiang Xinyuan.”

“You!”

“Mommy, are you angry? Please don’t be mad at Daddy,” Bao pleaded softly. Hearing how he addressed Li Heng, Pei Huan was stunned in her place and looked at him with mixed feelings. Bao then added innocently, “Daddy is such a nice man. Please don’t be mad at him.”

Pei Huan was not the only one surprised by the young boy’s words. Even Li Heng himself was shocked to the core, and his figure trembled in disbelief. “Bao, what did you just call me?”

Bao lowered his head and played with his fingers nervously. “I called you Daddy! You don’t like it? I really like you… I want you to be my Daddy.”

Li Heng’s face lit up with a smile. “Of course I like it! I… I like it when you call me Daddy!”

“Bao!” Pei Huan exclaimed. “He’s not your Daddy! He’s… He’s your uncle… no, he’s your cousin brother!”

Li Heng’s face darkened immediately. “Pei Huan!” he growled through gritted teeth. “Is this the way you teach your son? How can you teach him the wrong things!”

“I…” Pei Huan pursed her lips. “His father is Li Cenbei, who is your uncle. He is the same generation as you, so you are his cousin brother. Isn’t that the case?”
