Chapter 975: Chapter 1030: Feeling Sorry for His Wife
"Come here." Xu Qigang waved her over, seeing Sheng Ning was unhappy, he quickly explained, "The injury hasn’t healed..."
"Then why are you still running around?" Sheng Ning was both angry and concerned, quickly running up to him to support him. "How are you? Where do you feel uncomfortable? I’ll go call Doctor Guo."
"Already changed the bandage."
"Can you still walk?"
Xu Qigang pursed his lips, adjusting her support to him to holding his arm instead. "I can walk."
"Then you just lied to me earlier?" Sheng Ning gave him a side look.
Xu Qigang didn’t say anything and just looked at her with bright eyes. He loved seeing her happily throw herself into his arms; it made him feel blissful.
"Have you eaten yet? I haven’t cooked at home!" Sheng Ning had bought many things in the city, leaving the home all messy. Because she had previously agreed on a time to call her parents, she hadn’t gotten around to tidying up.
"Not yet, we’ll eat at Wu Houhai’s house today."
"Isn’t that inappropriate?" Sheng Ning felt rather embarrassed, "After we got married, technically we should host a meal for everyone, but we haven’t done it even once! Going over to mooch off dinner again, wouldn’t that make me seem lazy?"
She was planning to live in the Family Compound in the future and couldn’t afford to accidentally get a bad reputation.
"We’ve both been busy, right? And Wu Houhai’s plan didn’t work out, so he should host." Xu Qigang said casually.
"Alright, let’s go freshen up first."
The War Wolf Rescue Team’s family compound was far from resembling a home, even though Sheng Ning had previously taken time to clean up, it still felt desolately empty from long abandonment.
"No way, the environment here doesn’t work." Seeing the piled-up stuff, Sheng Ning was extremely disdainful and pushed Xu Qigang, who was about to enter, back outside.
"What’s up?" The man rolling up his sleeves froze, why wasn’t he allowed to go home?
Watching him roll up his sleeves, Sheng Ning countered, "What are you up to?"
"Cleaning up! You’ve been tired all day, take a break, I’ll clean up instead..." Xu Qigang didn’t finish because Sheng Ning’s eyes turned red.
"Why... are you crying?" The two stood at the doorway, while neighbors quietly observed them. Xu Qigang wanted to pull her into his arms but was pushed away by Sheng Ning.
"Stop crying." He whispered, "Tell me what I did wrong, I’ll change next time, alright? Even though, honestly, I didn’t really do anything wrong." He cared for his wife, but he still held onto his principles.
He apologized, but deep down he believed he hadn’t erred.
"Why apologize if you did nothing wrong?"
"I’m only sorry because I care about my wife, apologizing is the first step." Xu Qigang turned around and glared at the surroundings, scaring the spectators into quickly closing their doors and windows.
Movements swift, fearful of being reprimanded by the Captain later on.
Sheng Ning rubbed her eyes herself, "I’m fine, you go sit at Wu Houhai’s for a bit, it’s almost time to eat. I’ll tidy up the house first, once that’s done I’ll join you. That way we can live here after dinner."
"Alright, that’s fine too." Xu Qigang looked at the sky, the sun had set, and the spring dusk lingered longer. Without his watch, left behind in S Country, he judged the time by the light.
Sheng Ning noticed his actions, her eyes stung even more.
