I Want a Lifetime with You
Chapter 344

Pei Huan calmed down after being consoled by Li Heng. The latter brought her to Ning Xin's ward. When she saw how Fu Heng remained by Ning Xin's side quietly, tears filled her eyes.

Fu Heng spun around and saw how upset she was. He released Ning Xin's hand and went outside the ward. Patting Pei Huan's shoulder affectionately, he said, "Huan, I know you're upset, but your mom will be distressed when she sees you in this state."

"Dad!" Pei Huan ran into Fu Heng's arms and sobbed. "I'm not crying. Don't worry, Li Heng has promised me he'll replace another donor. Mom will get better soon!"

"Good girl." Fu Heng patted her head and turned to Li Heng. "Li Heng, please end her back. Also, take good care of Bao."

"Okay, I'll take good care of them. Don't worry!"

Fu Heng nodded his head. He didn't really like Li Heng, but it was obvious Li Heng adored Pei Huan. If Pei Huan and Li Heng got back together, Ning Xin would be happy for them. "Just go back!"

After sending Li Heng and Pei Huan off, Fu Heng stood outside for a while before heading in with a smile. He took Ning Xin's hand again and said, "Ning, do you know Huan and Li Heng are back together again? Your wish has come true. Even if you can't make it, I'll be by your side."

Ning Xin's finger twitched slightly like she had heard his words, but she didn't open her eyes.

On the way back to Wutong Residence, Pei Huan said nothing. Li Heng knew she was in a foul mood, so he stayed with her after she went upstairs. He only stood up to leave after she fell asleep quietly. The moment he stepped out, Pei Huan's eyes opened. She stared at the ceiling for a long time before getting up.

As Aunt Zhang missed Bao dearly, Li Heng had brought him to Wuyun Residence yesterday. Pei Huan objected to this at first. But she knew Aunt Zhang loved Bao, and she was busy with Ning Xin's surgery. Hence, she agreed because she didn't want to trouble Shi Nuan anymore.

After she changed her clothes, Pei Huan whipped out her phone and made a call. "Where are you? Yes, I need to talk to you. Let's meet up."

She hung up and took a deep breath. Facing her reflection in the mirror, she gave herself a tight slap. "Pei Huan, calm down.”

After glancing at the address she received via a text message, she headed downstairs.

Pei Huan left in Fu Chengyan's car. As she had been busy recently, Fu Chengyan told her to choose a car from his garage and gave her the key.

She got into the car and confirmed the address before heading to the destination.

When Pei Huan arrived, Li Cenbei was already waiting for her. He was in his office when she called him. At the cafe, he couldn't help but wonder why she asked to meet him.

After their unpleasant meeting at the Li Residence, he had never seen Pei Huan being this arrogant and aggressive. The Pei Huan he knew was a gentle person but she showed her true colors when Li Heng stood in front of her to protect her.

Li Cenbei clenched his coffee mug. When he looked up and saw the woman appearing at the entrance, something malicious flashed across his gaze.

Pei Huan had spotted Li Cenbei too. Her gaze narrowed icily. This was the second time they met after she found out he was Li Cenbei. Back then, she and "He Beiting" steered clear of intimacy, but she felt they were a family. Right now, she couldn't stop herself from brimming with hate the moment she saw him.

Clenching her fists, she strode over. "Mr. Li, sorry to keep you waiting."

Li Cenbei froze and offered her an awkward smile. "Huan, you don't have to be so polite. It doesn't matter who I am because we're still married."

Pei Huan's lips thinned. "Married? Mr. Li, what a joke." She glowered at him. "Actually, I'm a fool. You look just like Li Heng. Why didn't I see that then?" "Huan, I—"

"No wonder no one said anything when you claimed to be Bao's father. As Bao looks like Li Heng, he looks like you naturally."

Li Cenbei parted his lips. "Huan, I know you are upset about this. But I didn't know you were Heng's ex-wife. If I knew—”

"If you knew, then what? You wouldn't marry me? You wouldn't inject the virus into me?"

Li Cenbei's eyes widened upon hearing her mention "virus." His hand which was holding the coffee mug trembled slightly and he looked shocked. However, his emotions disappeared almost instantly. "Huan, what are you talking about? Why is there a virus in your body? Is that a misunderstanding? Did Heng..."

"That's enough, Li Cenbei!" Pei Huan cut him off. "I can't believe you can act this well. I've been taken for a ride for the past three years. I should've known it wasn't a coincidence when you saved me three years ago. We kept bumping into each other after that and even met in C Country. Turns out it was all your plan, right? You injected the virus into me so you can use me to threaten Li Heng one day, right?"

Li Cenbei's heart clenched as anguish flitted across his gaze at Pei Huan's demand. He gripped his fists and explained, "Huan, you've gotten it wrong. I don't know about the virus. If I wanted to hurt you, I would've done it back then, right?"

"Who knows? You might have an ulterior motive. Li Cenbei, give me the antidote!"

Li Cenbei furrowed his brows. "Pei Huan, believe it or not, I don't know about the virus!"

Pei Huan rose to her feet and looked down at Li Cenbei. "Then there's nothing else to discuss. I just want to get the antidote from you today and make sure you were the one behind this."

Pei Huan seemed pained. "You gave yourself away. Li Cenbei, I've known you for over three years, so I know you well. You were the one who injected the virus into me. You must've thought you could use me to threaten Li Heng, right? Well, your wish is coming true. I told Li Heng I'll get back together with him."

"Pei Huan!" Li Cenbei stood up and hissed. "You're getting back together with Li Heng? What about me? I'm your husband!"

"Husband? Your name, He Beiting, is fake. Our marriage is fake, too." She glowered at him icily. "Besides, I hadn't divorced Li Heng back then. There's no way we're legally married. Ciao!"

Pei Huan spun around and left without looking back. Li Cenbei was left alone, rooted to the spot. He crushed the coffee mug in his hand to pieces.

Clap! Clap! Clap! Someone was clapping. Frowning, Li Cenbei turned in the direction of the voice and saw Li Xufan, who had a mocking smile on his face. "What are you doing here?" Li Cenbei demanded.

"To drink coffee, of course. Oh, I enjoyed the free show earlier." Li Xufan smirked, his gaze flashing with disdain. "I can't believe someone just dumped you, Great-uncle. You used to be the one doing the dumping, right?"

"That's none of your business."

"Well, that's true. I don't want anything to do with you." Li Xufan shot him a disgusted look. "But, Great-uncle, despite your old age, you deserve no respect. Do you know Pei Huan was my ex-girlfriend? She married my uncle later on and then ended up with you. Wow, it must be a recessive gene in the Li clan, huh? All the Lis-Great-grandpa, you, Uncle and me-have excellent genes!"

"B*stard, is that what your mother taught you?" Li Cenbei glowered at him viciously. "How ill-mannered of you to say that!"

"Manners? Great-uncle, you're talking about something which the Li clan lacks!" Li Xufan snorted and rested one arm on the chair casually. "You're indeed Great-grandpa's son. Just like you, he likes to seize everything he likes disregarding the person's feelings and status. I remember your mother-"

"Shut up!" Li Cenbei roared. "If you're that ill-mannered, I can discipline you on behalf of your mother!"

"Pfft!" Li Xufan sneered. "Discipline me on behalf of my mother? Who are you to my mother? What right do you have to discipline me?"

"You!"

The corner of Li Xufan's mouth quirked up. "I just realized that you had fallen for Pei Huan?" He smiled at Li Cenbei, but the smile never reached his eyes. "Wow! What will my mom do when she replaces out that you fell for Pei Huan? She doesn't really—"

"Li Xufan, how dare you!"

"Why wouldn't I dare?" Li Xufan scoffed. "If you're that capable, you would've defeated my uncle. Let me tell you. I found out the Li Group is in debt because my uncle had set up a trap for you. Do you think you're that great? I believe my uncle is the one behind the Prosperous Group. And here you are trying to snatch his woman from him. Can you even do that?"
