She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1143: Chapter 1206: Arriving Soon

"They’re already on their way back, they’ll be here soon, very soon." Sheng Ning tightly grasped the old man’s hand, "Grandfather, you have to be alright, you really have to be alright, otherwise someone will definitely bully me and the little baby."

"Grandfather... if you leave, who will protect me and the little baby?"

The old man smiled, yet his dry face erupted with a strange radiance, "There’s Dajiang..." Before he could finish his words, Xu Qigang had already appeared at the door, holding Su Jiang, standing inside the doorway, covered in mud.

"Uncle..."

"Finally returned!"

"Dajiang?" The old man suddenly sat up, Su Jiang was placed in front of the bed by Xu Qigang, completely unrecognizable.

Sheng Ning knew the old man had been holding on just to wait for Uncle’s return, being the eldest and the future of the family, he hadn’t had the chance to leave a last message.

She glanced at Xu Qigang, stepped forward and tightly grasped his hand, and they together left to give space for Su Jiang.

Xu Qigang hadn’t slept these past few days, his hair had grown long and so had his beard. But he appeared full of energy, especially his eyes, which shone brightly as he looked at Sheng Ning.

"Slow down, you can’t sit on the ground." Xu Qigang saw her starting to sit on the floor and directly pulled her up, gently placing her on a chair. He had intended to hold her, but thought of his muddy state and days without a bath, he stepped back.

"Living Yama." Sheng Ning looked at him dependently, "Why aren’t you holding me? Are you telling me you’re disgusted by me?"

"No! No." Xu Qigang quickly waved his hand, "How could I be disgusted with you!"

"Then why are you standing so far away from me?"

"I... I’m all covered in mud, afraid of dirtying you. You’re pregnant now, need to ensure safety and hygiene." Xu Qigang looked at her helplessly, his eyes full of joyful Little Stars.

"Xiao Ning, thank you!" He said solemnly and affectionately.

Sheng Ning was taken aback, then guiltily lowered her head. Oh no, the lie she just told in the heat of the moment was overheard by the Living Yama? Oh no, she’s not pregnant!

At this moment, Su Hai and Su Huai’an also came out, leaving only Su Jiang inside. When they saw Sheng Ning, they urged, "Ningning, hurry upstairs and rest! Pregnant yet you didn’t mention, busying yourself these days."

"Exactly, you almost fell yesterday." Su Huai’an said with lingering fear, thinking of these days when Ningning often cried, had poor appetite, and was more irritable than before.

Clearly signs of pregnancy!

"I want to stay by Grandfather’s side." Sheng Ning, feeling guilty, dared not look at everyone.

"The old man just had a final flare of life, let Big Brother escort him on his last journey!" Su Hai sighed, "There’s nothing you can do here, go upstairs and rest!"

Hearing she almost fell, Xu Qigang didn’t care about his muddy state, quickly picked her up horizontally and headed upstairs.

"Living Yama, put me down." Oh no, the lie has been blown out of proportion.

"I won’t. From now on you’re not allowed to leave the bed." Someone domineeringly ordered, kicked open the door, placed her on the bed, and stood still, staring at her.

Sheng Ning looked at the mud on herself, wanting to cry but having no tears.

"Sorry!" Xu Qigang apologized awkwardly, "I’ll find you some clothes, you take a hot shower first."

"You shower first, you haven’t rested for so long." Sheng Ning insisted.
