I Want A Lifetime With You

Bao was scared by Li Heng’s aggressive attitude and buried his face into Pei Huan’s chest. “Mommy!”

“There, there… Don’t be scared, Bao.” Pei Huan gave him a few pats on the back before glaring at Li Heng. “Mr. Li, if this is what it takes to cut ties with you, then you can go to hell for all I care!”

She then turned towards Shi Nuan and said, “I’d like to see my parents at the hospital, please, before heading back to Wutong Residence.”

“Sure, my car is parked right outside. Let’s go!” Shi Nuan waited till Pei Huan wasn’t looking before motioning at Li Heng to not try anything funny. “I’ll help you with your suitcase so you can just carry Bao to my car.”

“Thanks, Shi Nuan!” Pei Huan’s attitude towards her naturally changed after finding out that she was Fu Chengyan’s wife, but she was still a little skeptical about Shi Nuan.

Shi Nuan placed her suitcase in the trunk before opening the car door for her. “Sorry… I didn’t know you were bringing Bao with you, so I didn’t prepare a car seat for him.”

“That’s fine, I can just carry him in my arms!” Pei Huan said as she got into the car. After seeing Shi Nuan put on her seatbelt and adjust the air conditioning settings, Pei Huan couldn’t help but apologize. “I’m sorry about my behavior earlier. I…”

“Don’t worry about it!” Shi Nuan smiled. “Is the temperature okay?”

“Yeah, it’s fine!” Pei Huan nodded and waited till Bao fell asleep before asking, “I didn’t know about you dating my brother. In fact, I didn’t even know a single girl that liked him!”

“Really?” Shi Nuan chuckled. “Why wouldn’t anyone like Yan? He’s so amazing!” She opened up a bit to Pei Huan after noticing the change in the latter’s attitude. “Well… It was a little strange, the way our relationship started. He saved me many times and we just sort of developed feelings for each other over time.”

Pei Huan nodded. “I was just a little surprised. After all, my brother is…” She stopped her sentence there and didn’t say anything further.

Shi Nuan didn’t bother to inquire further, either. “Aunt Ning’s condition started to deteriorate a while back, so her husband quit his job at Shengyuan to look after her. She didn’t want to bother you like this, but… Her condition has worsened so much that she fears she won’t be able to wait any longer.”

“I know… It was unfilial of me…” Pei Huan hung her head low in guilt. “Is… Is my mother okay? I didn’t know her condition would get this bad. I remember her being…”

“Her body showed signs of rejection. According to the doctors, there was no way of predicting that.”

“She should’ve told me sooner! She…” Pei Huan was still blaming herself. “I’ve been sending them letters throughout the past few years, but they never replied. I thought they were worried about me and Li Heng…”

“Letters?” Shi Nuan paused. “What letters?”
