Chapter 549 Bringing Huo Ling Back
Read Novel I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 549
Huo Ling's eyes sparkled as she looked at Li Heng in admiration. "You're awesome, Heng! You're even better than my brother!" Li Heng frowned and looked at Huo Ling coldly.
Is this girl stupid? Song Zhe slapped his forehead. He initially wanted to remind Li Heng how strange of a girl Huo Ling was. Now that she had revealed her strange behavior, Song Zhe could only hold back his laughter in silence. To be precise, she started behaving strangely after discovering Li Heng's identity yesterday.
"Ms. Huo, please return to Z Nation with me!" Li Heng demanded. "Sure, Heng!" Huo Ling exclaimed as she got up from the ground. "I would go anywhere you want me to go, Heng! You don't have to worry because I'll follow you wherever you go."
After a short pause, Li Heng ridiculed, "You must be dumb!" Li Heng was a harsh person with a sharp tongue.
Pei Huan knew about Li Heng's sharp tongue from the moment they first got to know each other. The two seemed to have first met through a dramatic misunderstanding and were hurling insults at each other during their first meeting. Thus, when everyone thought Li Heng was an untouchable man who was cold and arrogant, Pei Huan, on the other hand, only regarded Li Heng as a man with a sharp tongue. People around Li Heng would either be intimidated by his strong aura or be pissed off by his words.
However, Li Heng rarely exhibited his sharp tongue in front of outsiders. Thus, both Huo Ling and Song Zhe were shocked when he hurled his insult at Huo Ling.
Song Zhe blinked a few times, as he could not believe his ears. However, after hearing Li Heng's next insult, Song Zhe was finally convinced he was not hallucinating. "It's unfortunate for the Huo family to have an idiot like you!" Li Heng mocked. "Yes, yes. Everything you said is correct, Heng!" Huo Ling nodded profusely.
The corners of Song Zhe's mouth twitched vigorously while Li Heng looked at Huo Ling as though he was looking at an idiot. "Get ready, Song Zhe. We're leaving tomorrow!" Li Heng exclaimed.
Li Heng was not concerned about Huo Ling's intentions, as he was only responsible for bringing Huo Ling back. Then, Huo Shenxing would eventually appear. Huo Shenxing might be a demanding person with an odd temper, but he treated Huo Ling very well. In fact, he was very protective of her.
Meanwhile, Huo Ling was looking at Li Heng as though he was the most perfect being in the world. "Do you really not remember me, Heng?"
Li Heng glanced at Huo Ling and uttered, "Of course, I remember. What about it?" "You really remember me?" Huo Ling asked as she pointed at herself. "Do you really remember me?"
"Aren't you Huo Ling from the Huo family?"
Huo Ling was disappointed when she heard that. "Heng, I—"
"Call me Li Heng, or you can call me Mr. Li just like Song Zhe."
"No!" Huo Ling bit her lip when she heard that. "Li... You're my idol! Do you really not remember me? It's me! Nine years ago... In Lostaria!" Afraid that Li Heng couldn't remember her, Huo Ling pointed at her face frantically before lifting her sleeve to reveal
a scar on the back of her hand. "Do you remember this, Heng?"
Li Heng squinted and sized Huo Ling up. A while later, he furrowed his brows and asked, "Are you that little beggar?"
"You're right. It's me! You've saved me before, Heng!" Huo Ling said excitedly. "You saved my life, but I didn't have the chance to repay you. Back then, you only told me your name. Then, I tried looking for you. but they said you left. Where did you go?"
"Don't mention it." Li Heng rubbed his temples.
He did not expect Huo Ling to be the little beggar he had saved back then. He would not have remembered her if she did not mention it.
"Since fate has brought us together again, I will help you with everything, Heng. Why are you looking for my brother?"
"To save someone!"
"To save someone? I can do it too. I have pretty good medical skills. In fact, I'm much better than my brother!" Huo Ling said as she put her hand over her chest to pledge assurance. "You can count on me!" "You?" Song Zhe clearly did not believe Huo Ling. She looks like a regular teenager who's about fifteen or sixteen. How could she have medical skills?
Nonetheless, Li Heng began to scrutinize Huo Ling seriously. "You said you have medical skills?" "Yes, I do. Don't you remember what I did yesterday? I was extracting viruses from those people. Stop assuming that my brother is the only person with great medical skills in the Huo family, all right?"
"Well, then. In that case, come back to Z Nation with me, Ms. Huo," Li Heng replied.
He was not suspicious of Huo Ling's ability because the Huo family was indeed a prestigious family of medical practitioners. Thus, it would not surprise him if Huo Ling had medical skills. Since they could not replace Huo Shenxing, bringing Huo Ling back to his home country would be beneficial too. At least Huo Ling must have better medical skills than Su Shaoqing.
On the following day, Huo Ling, who was exceptionally thrilled, returned with Li Heng. However, when she tried talking to Li Heng, he paid no attention to her. She was disappointed by this, but it did not diminish her excitement in the slightest. She then started chatting with Song Zhe.
From the conversation, she learned about the major factions in Z Nation. She also learned that Li Heng was the former leader of Li Group and was still the head of the Li family at that moment.
While Huo Ling was a casual person, she was not interested in gossip that was not related to medicine. Thus, she did not know how much impact Li Heng had on Jiang City. She was dumbfounded when Song Zhe told her about Li Heng and the others to her and blurted out, "I thought my brother was the most powerful person in the world. Who would've thought that there's someone even more powerful out there!"
"That's right!" Song Zhe remarked with a sneer. Has she been living under a rock her whole life? Perhaps the Huo family had her locked up in the Huo residence. That might explain why she doesn't know the evilness of the outside world.
The journey took more than ten hours. After getting off the plane, the group walked behind Li Heng. Huo Ling chattered along the way like a lively bird that could not stop chirping. However, as she dared not pester Li Heng, she continued pestering Song Zhe and even asked him about Li Heng's wife.
Pei Huan was already waiting outside the airport with Bao and Liang Lin.
As it had been rather unpeaceful recently, Liang Lin paid extra attention to their surroundings. When he learned that the plane just landed on time, Liang Li immediately reported to Pei Huan. "Madam, Bao, Mr. Li has gotten off the plane."
"Is Daddy back?" Bao, who was eating ice cream initially, looked around with his big and round eyes as he tried to locate his father. "Mr. Liang, let's go replace my Daddy!"
As he said that, Bao shoved his ice cream into Liang Lin's hand. "Quick! Help me put this away!"
Liang Lin did not know whether to cry or laugh as he looked helplessly at Pei Huan.
Amused, Pei Huan reached out her hand to ruffle Bao's hair softly. "Don't worry. Since I got you the ice cream, your Daddy wouldn't dare say anything about it!" "No, I still mustn't! I'm a good kid!" Bao explained as he looked righteously at Pei Huan. "How could you teach me to lie to Daddy?" Pei Huan was speechless.
"What lie?" Li Heng's crisp voice sounded from nearby. As he glanced at Liang Lin's hand, the latter instantly hid the ice cream away as he greeted Li Heng, "Mr. Li, you're back!"
Li Heng snorted loudly, then turned to face Pei Huan and Bao with a gentle countenance. "Huan!"
"Welcome back!" Pei Huan answered with a faint smile. "I thought your flight would take longer to arrive!"
"Uh-huh!" Li Heng nodded in response. Then he reached out to pick up Bao before entering the car. "You've gotten heavier!"
Bao wiggled his little buttocks and pouted. "No, I didn't get heavier! I missed you so much that I couldn't eat, Daddy! I'm no longer adorable now because I've gotten skinny. Touch my face and feel the difference, Daddy!"
Li Heng let out a laugh and reached out his hand to pinch Bao's face. "You've gotten fatter!"
"Daddy! If you keep saying that, I'm going to get mad!" Bao huffed and crossed his arm.
"All right, your daddy is tired because he just got off the plane! Come here. Let me give you a hug!" Pei Huan coaxed Bao resignedly before reaching out her arms. However, Li Heng shook his head at her as he stated, "It's okay. I'll hold him."
Although Bao said he would get mad, he was still filled with joy when Li Heng held him.
"Daddy, since you were away from home for so many days, did you miss Mommy and me?"
"Of course, I did!" Li Heng answered.
"Oh, my god!" Outside the car, Huo Ling, who was being held back by Song Zhe by her shirt collar, stared into the car in disbelief. She looked as though she was seeing the most beautiful image in the world. "How could you be so gentle, Heng?"
"Is that your baby, Heng? He's so adorable. I'm being overloaded with cuteness!" Huo Ling exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with delight as she stared at Li Heng and Bao.
When she tried to lunge toward Li Heng, Song Zhe yanked her back by her collar, preventing her from getting close to them. "Oh, my idol! Let go of me, Mr. Song! I want to see my idol and his handsome child!' Li Heng shot a cold glance at Huo Ling, but Huo Ling was not intimidated at all. "Heng, your baby is so cute!"
Pei Huan looked at the young girl outside of the car, who seemed like a regular teenager.
Pei Huan was momentarily stunned. "Weren't you looking for the Ghost Doctor? Why did you bring a young girl back instead?"
"Is she your wife, Heng? She's so pretty. Hello, Mrs. Li. I'm Huo Ling," Huo Ling greeted as she waved at Pei Huan, who responded with a polite nod before turning to Li Heng in puzzlement.
"This is Huo Ling, Huo Shenxing's sister!" Li Heng gave a short introduction of Huo Ling, and then he shot a look at Song Zhe and said, "Ms. Huo will be sitting in your car!"
"Yes, Mr. Li!" Song Zhe sighed. "Follow me, Ms. Huo!"
After seeing Song Zhe take Huo Ling away, Li Heng lowered his head and continued playing with Bao. "Huo Shenxing did not appear. I was worried that something would happen here, so I brought Huo Ling back first!"
"Okay." Pei Huan nodded. "With Huo Ling here, Huo Shenxing will surely appear. But are you sure he won't be angry at us for bringing Huo Ling over like this?" Pei Huan asked, concerned that Huo Shenxing would get angry and refuse to help.
"It won't happen. Huo Ling is too important to Huo Shenxing," Li Heng replied with confidence. "Huo Ling has medical skills too. Let's have her diagnose you and Shi Nuan later today!"
Pei Huan nodded, followed by a sigh. "I guess that's the only thing we can do now. By the way, Shen Qianan has been taken away by Fu Sijue."
Li Heng's eyes glinted slightly. "I know. Chengyan told me."
"Nuan even had a quarrel with my brother. After all, Shen Qianan is Nuan's elder sister, but Chengyan used Shen Qianan as bait,” Pei Huan commented in a worried tone. Li Heng held Pei Huan's hand and squeezed it dearly. "Don't worry, everything will be fine. You know Chengyan wouldn't do anything if he isn't confident, right?"
"By the way, why did Huo Ling say you saved her?" Pei Huan was rather interested in Huo Ling.
