I Want A Lifetime With You

When Li Heng tilted Pei Huan’s chin up and bored his burning gaze into her eyes, she was overwhelmed by a wave of emotions.

The past three years were hard for her too. The fact that he wasn’t there for her every time she needed him when she jolted awake from a nightmare made her feel resentful of him as days passed. When the last straw broke the camel’s back, she finally left him.

Sensing that Pei Huan was hurting, Li Heng whispered, “Huan, are you okay?”

Pei Huan shoved him away as soon as Li Heng called out to her. As she regained her senses, she glared coldly at him and warned, “Things between us are long over. If you think you can reconcile with me, you are so wrong. Over my dead body!”

Not able to bear his presence without remembering her sorrowful past, Pei Huan ran out. Li Heng could only watch her leave. After staring wistfully after her for a long time, he went in to see Bao.

His mind was whirling with ideas on how to get Pei Huan back, but it was impossible to solve the massive amount of misunderstandings between them.

The frown on his face turned into a smile at the sight of Bao in deep sleep. Despite Pei Huan denying that Bao was his child, he knew she was lying.

As for He Beiting…

Li Heng narrowed his eyes. He thought that He Beiting was familiar, but he couldn’t remember who he was.

Shi Nuan was preparing the ingredients for the hotpot when Pei Huan made her way to the kitchen as if she had seen a ghost.

“What is it, Huan?”

Pei Huan took a deep breath to calm herself down. She watched in awe as Shi Nuan chopped the vegetables skillfully. Ignoring Shi Nuan’s question, Pei Huan exclaimed, “I didn’t know you are good at cooking!”

“Well, you know now.” Shi Nuan nodded her head and searched her eyes while continuing with the food preparation. “Is Bao asleep?”

Pei Huan nodded and went over to Shi Nuan’s side. “Let me help you.”

“Sure.” Shi Nuan shifted aside to make room for Pei Huan. “Do you know how to cook too?”

“Yes. I had to take care of my own meals back when I was in Jiang City. After giving birth to Bao, I usually prepare his meals to make sure that he’s getting the nutrition he needs for his growth.” Rinsing the vegetables, Pei Huan continued, “You and my brother seem to be quite chummy together!”

Shi Nuan smiled at the remark. “So, that time when you didn’t allow Bao to go to the amusement park… Is it because something bad happened to him before?”

Pei Huan shuddered as the sudden change of conversation brought back unpleasant memories. She remained still and quiet for a moment before giving Shi Nuan a slight nod. “Bao was nearly kidnapped when he was two. After that, he became less talkative and more fearful of other people.”
