I Want A Lifetime With You

Deciding that it wasn’t a conversation that she wanted to hear, Ning Xi clenched her fists and said, “I should help out in the kitchen.”

After Ning Xi left, Li Heng curled his lips. “Are you sure that the Ning family will accept her?”

Pei Jingxiu gave him a stern look and rebuked, “There’s nothing that I can’t do!”

“I know, but she’s innocent!” Li Heng got up and patted Pei Jingxiu on the back. “Jingxiu, I’m sure there are other approaches…”

“I’m not going to change my decision. Mind your own business.” Pei Jingxiu removed Li Heng’s hand from his back forcefully. “Didn’t you tell me that Uncle Bei will be back soon? After all, he’s your grandfather’s favorite son. They probably only want you back because he’s missing.”

“I know.” Li Heng’s gaze darkened. Despite his unwillingness, his family didn’t let him off. “How are things at the company?”

“Everything’s fine, don’t worry.” Pei Jingxiu smiled vaguely when the door was flung open again. Fu Chengyan wasn’t surprised to see him. After pausing to take off his shoes, he joined the two other men in the living room.

Fu Chengyan asked Li Heng, “Do you know He Beiting?”

Li Heng frowned at the mention of the name. Fumbling with the pack of cigarettes in his pocket, he answered absent-mindedly, “I think I’ve heard of that name before, but I can’t remember who he is.”

He had quit smoking ever since Pei Huan became pregnant. After their separation, he still had regular cravings for it, but he never smoked.

“I remember that guy vaguely. My source from C Country tells me that he usually travels back and forth between C Country and other neighboring countries. He’s indeed married to Huan, but they aren’t really together. Huan must have married him for other reasons.”

Li Heng nodded. “I know that.”

“Where’s Bao?” Realizing that the kid was missing from the living room, Fu Chengyan frowned.

“He’s upstairs.” But as Li Heng pronounced the words, he had a terrible feeling that something was very, very wrong.

He sprung up from his seat and dashed upstairs immediately. After exchanging worried glances, Fu Chengyan and Pei Jingxiu followed him.

The terrible feeling at the back of his head got stronger when he reached the upper floor. Rushing toward Bao’s room, he only had enough time to react when the shadow in the room discovered him and launched an attack on him.
