I Want A Lifetime With You

As Li Cenbei looked at Li Min, there was no hint of affection in his expression. “What do you think?”

Li Min stumbled backward and looked at him with disbelief. “Have you been lying to me all these years? You did all of those things—just for revenge? To get revenge on the Li clan?” Li Min refused to believe what he was telling her. “But why would you do that? You’re a member of the Li clan, too. Why would you do that?”

“A member of the Li clan? Haha! I’ve spent my entire life hating everyone with Li blood running through their veins.” Li Cenbei’s eyes grew rather cold. “Min, you’re over forty years old. How could you still be as naïve as the day you were born? Did you really think I loved you?”

“I…”

“Because the blood of the Li clan flows through your veins, and because you’re contaminated with the blood of Li Cennan, there’s no way I could ever fall in love with you!”

“No… I’m not a blood relative of the Li clan! I’m not! Li Cenbei, we’re not biologically related. Ask Grandpa…Grandpa…” Here, Li Min paused for a while, shaking. She balled her hands into fists and said, “Li Cenbei.”

“Li Min, getting close to you was the first step in my plan to get revenge on the Li clan.” Li Cenbei caressed Li Min’s face gently. “Do you know how much my mother hates this face of yours? You say you aren’t Li Cennan’s daughter, but your face looks similar to that of Li Cennan’s wife. It nearly drove my mother insane.”

Li Min fell onto the floor and brought her hand to her face. With shaking fingers, she said despairingly, “So you’ve never loved me at all! You hated me all this while because of my face…”

“Oh, be thankful that you only resemble your mother a little instead of looking exactly like her.” Li Cenbei gazed down at her coolly before sweeping his gaze across Li Xinzhi’s face. “There’s something else you should know. Do you remember when Pei Huan got kidnapped after her divorce with Li Heng? I was behind that too.” He looked at Li Min, who had collapsed on the floor. “She played a part in all it!”

“No, no… That’s impossible.” Li Min shook her head as though she had lost her mind.

Li Cenbei walked up to Li Xinzhi and clapped the oxygen mask back onto his face. “Pei Huan and Bao have already been infected with the virus. If Li Heng finds out, I wonder how he’ll react!”

Li Xinzhi’s eyes widened again as he started gasping for air. He grabbed Li Cenbei’s trouser leg, but Li Cenbei shook his arm off in disgust. “Stay alive!” he ordered. “You must live to hear the good news from me.”

“You…” Come back!

Li Xinzhi couldn’t speak – he could only watch helplessly and scream silently after Li Cenbei as the man left the room.

When Li Cenbei exited the hospital, he felt a little morose. He looked up at the blue expanse of the sky and thought deeply. After a while, he took out his phone and gave Pei Huan a call. “You want the antidote, don’t you? Come and look for me. I can give it to you.”

At that moment, Pei Huan was waiting anxiously outside the operating theater. Fu Chengyan, Shi Nuan, and Fu Heng were seated next to her. Li Heng had been a little busy these past few weeks, so he hadn’t been able to come.

When she received Li Cenbei’s call, Pei Huan’s eyes widened immediately. “You…” Just as she was about to reply, she saw Fu Chengyan turn around to look curiously at her. Pei Huan stood up and went to speak in another corner. “You have the antidote? Are you trying to fool me?”

“You don’t believe me, do you?” Li Cenbei laughed. “Of course you don’t. After all, I lied to you for over three years. But, Huan, there’s one thing I was truthful about till the very end.”
