I Want A Lifetime With You

“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.

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