I Want A Lifetime With You

Pei Huan was about to give him a brush off, but she swallowed her words upon seeing Bao and Aunt Zhang giggling happily in the living room. She didn’t want to ruin the atmosphere. “Bao and I are only here today to have a meal. You know it.” Her voice was soft but firm.

It made her feel uneasy when Li Heng fixed his gaze on her. Luckily, Aunt Zhang took the heat off her when she called them over, “Heng, Huan, what’s taking you so long? Did Huan manage to find her shoes? You told me Huan was back a couple of days ago, so I’ve already washed them clean and kept them in the shoe cupboard.”

“I found them, Aunt Zhang.” Pei Huan forced a smile as she changed into her house slippers and walked past Li Heng to head to the living room.

Li Heng’s gaze followed her figure until she vanished from sight. Time is on my side! I believe she will come back to me one day. I will wait for her.

Aunt Zhang was shooting the breeze with Bao. “Bao, are you hungry yet? Grandma has cooked a lot of food. We can eat now if you’re hungry. What do you think?”

“Alright.” Bao rubbed his tummy as he exclaimed, “I’m so so so hungry! I want grandma to feed me!”

“Okay! Grandma will feed you,” Aunt Zhang replied, indulging his request.

Pei Huan was looking at the two getting along with each other. Bao seems to have forgotten about what happened a year ago. Based on her observation, Bao seemed to be unaffected by the incident as he could get along with other people rather well since they were back in Jiang City.

However, he had been diagnosed as a child with low emotional intelligence when she brought him to a psychiatrist. Not only that, but he was also always plagued with nightmares when he was in Jiang City. She couldn’t help feeling suspicious because Bao had always behaved like a normal child in Jiang City.

“Let’s have dinner!” Aunt Zhang brought Bao to the dining hall. Li Heng slightly frowned upon seeing Pei Huan staring blankly into space. “If you really don’t like it here, I won’t force you to come over next time.”

Pei Huan snapped out of her trance. “Huh? What did you say?”

“It’s nothing.” Li Heng pursed his lips, knowing that he was still repulsive to Pei Huan. “I said if you really don’t like it here, I won’t force you to come again.” Then, he rose to his feet.

Before Pei Huan even realized it, she had grabbed hold of his hand.

Li Heng froze at once, but he didn’t dare look at her. Although he had his back to her, Pei Huan could feel his body stiffen, so she loosened her grip. Li Heng turned to face her and held her hand. “Are you giving me hope?”

“I… I have something to tell you.” She evaded his question.

“What is it?” Li Heng took a glance at Aunt Zhang and Bao in the dining hall. “Aunt Zhang, you and Bao can start eating first. Don’t feed him food that’s too spicy,” he reminded.

“I know, I know. I’m not yet a dotard!” Aunt Zhang complained, “Don’t you remember I’m the one who brought you up? Of course I know how to take care of a child.” She huffed in annoyance.
