Read Novel I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 559

In a daze, Bao looked at Huo Ling. “No. My family loves me!” He held out his fingers and counted, “Daddy and Mommy, Grandpa and Grandma, Granddad and Granny,

Grandma Zhang…” He finished counting all his fingers, but he had not listed out all the names, making him seem well-liked. Looking at Huo Ling in bewilderment, he asked, “Does your family dislike you?”

Huo Ling’s expression gloomed. “No, of course not! It goes without saying that my whole family loves a good, adorable, and charming girl like me. They can’t get enough of me!”

She could not stop rambling. On the other hand, Bao made a contemptuous gesture and responded, “Huh? You big dummy. It’s normal to be disliked. You don’t have to get discouraged by that, and you don’t have to lie. I know I’m little, but I’m not dumb!” “You little brat… You’re very unlikeable! How I wish to get my hands on you!” Huo Ling gnashed her teeth.

“Mommy says only those who get irritated because they’ve been pointed out will want to punish others. Besides, I’m younger than you. You’re bullying me!” Bao was not afraid of Huo Ling at all. He even stuck out his tongue at her after he finished speaking. Flying into anger, Huo Ling flashed him a ferocious look and claimed that she would punish him there and then.

Needless to say, she had no intention to do so.

Nevertheless, Huo Ling found Bao to be quite quick-witted in spite of his young age. He could still retain his kindness, even though he was living in such an awful family environment. She could not help but admire and envy him.

Heaving a sigh, Huo Ling stuffed a piece of chestnut cake into her mouth. “Aunt Zhang, your chestnut cake’s scrumptious!”

“Oh. If that’s the case, you should have more! Wait, no. You shouldn’t eat so much since it’s late now. I’ll make other delicious food for you tomorrow. How’s that?”

Aunt Zhang grew fonder of Huo Ling the more they spent time together. She thought Huo Ling was a nice girl with a sweet temperament.

Huo Ling’s eyes sparkled when she heard Aunt Zhang’s suggestion. “That’s great. Aunt

Zhang, I want a steamed meat bun. An enormous steamed meat bun!”

“All right. I’ll make it for you, Ms. Huo!”

After the meal, Huo Ling went upstairs to her pre-arranged room. Aunt Zhang had cleaned it up beforehand, so it looked much better, unlike the dull and dim room back in her own house. Nevertheless, it still lacked a feminine touch.

Although Huo Ling never dwelled on the details, she was still a maiden at heart. Since she was a high-born lady from the Huo family, everyone in the Huo residence pampered her. However, that kind of lifestyle was not ideal for Huo Ling. She would rather live in Bao’s environment and grow up carefree.

After bathing, Huo Ling immediately lunged onto her large and lovely pink bed.

It was then that her phone buzzed beside her ear. She checked her phone, pouted slightly at the notification, and then switched it off.

After Li Heng and Pei Huan went upstairs, the latter went to take a shower while the former headed to the study room, both still mulling over what had happened that night. Li Heng promptly turned on his computer and contacted Pei Jingxiu.

Meanwhile, Pei Jingxiu and Ning Xi had arrived at their mansion. Ning Xi stated that there was something odd with the incident that had taken place. Pei Jingxiu shared the same sentiment. A sleepless night awaited them.

Seeing Pei Jingxiu online, Li Heng hurriedly delivered a message: “I don’t think our enemy’s targeting Huan.”

“Hm, I don’t think so too. I think they have their eyes on Ms. Huo!” Pei Jingxiu paused for a moment before adding: “However, I’m not sure if she has gotten on someone’s nerves, or…” Li Heng narrowed his eyes. “The adversary’s not trying to eradicate her. I bet it has something to do with Chengyan. Since Huo Ling’s with us, Huo Shenxing will come to us very soon.” “Are you saying that our adversary doesn’t want the Huo family to intervene?” Pei

Jingxiu understood the situation too. Since the Huo family was a prestigious family in

the medical field, they could definitely formulate the antivirus. Even if they failed to develop one, their mere existence posed a threat to the enemy. Hence, the enemy decided to target Huo Ling to prevent her and even the Huo family from interfering with their clandestine scheme.

Both of them instantly fell into silence upon realizing that their opponent had caught wind of most of their secrets.

Li Heng asked: “How’s Chengyan’s company recently?”

As Fu Chengyan wanted the opponent to let down their guard, he had not been showing up in the company for the time being. Instead, he requested Pei Jingxiu to manage it in his place. Naturally, Pei Jingxiu did not reveal himself too. So, outsiders surmised that Shengyuan Group was facing turmoil. Otherwise, the head of the Fu clan, Fu Chengyan, wouldn’t have stayed absent for so long. In truth, they were right about it. Shengyuan Group had been a mess lately.

Pei Jingxiu was only interested to see how everything would go. “We’ll wait and see. They haven’t caused enough ruckus yet, so they wouldn’t go all out at the moment.” He paused briefly before adding: “By the way, everything seems peaceful at the moment. I think our opponent will be pulling out the big guns very soon.”

“That’s right. This is just the calm before the storm.” Li Heng, too, had the same idea.

“It’s getting late now. You should head to bed soon. I have to bring Ms. Huo to meet Shi Nuan tomorrow.” Li Heng turned off his computer, and it was then that Pei Huan opened the door.
