She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 993: Chapter 1051: Doesn’t Your Conscience Hurt?

"What are you looking at?" Xu Qigang walked in and ruffled her hair.

"Nothing, nothing." Sheng Ning quickly shook her head, put the notebook away, and asked, "How is it? Any result?"

"Yes, tomorrow you and An’an can go to the workers’ union, and the case can be concluded."

"That’s great!" Sheng Ning was overjoyed. "Did you find out that Zhou Yuan was the source of the weapons?"

Xu Qigang frowned at her words, "No, it was Hai Lan."

"Hai Lan?" As far as she knew, the payment was given to Zhou Yuan by Shao Yiping, and Zhou Yuan then gave it to Hai Lan. How did it skip directly to Hai Lan? Could it be that Shao Yiping was trying to protect his lover by deliberately helping her get away with it?

It’s really unexpected; Zhou Yuan is not good at other things, but she has a keen eye for lovers.

"Don’t overthink it. Tomorrow I’ll take you to school to find An’an. We can’t keep entrusting her to others." Xu Qigang washed his hands, took the initiative to help her in the kitchen, and upon seeing the variety of dishes, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Xiao Ning, won’t it be too much for just the two of us to eat like this?" He’s never been picky about food, someone who’s always on call has no right to be picky.

"You need to replenish your body; you must eat well."

He rubbed his brow helplessly, "My body has already recovered." As the captain, even if there are conditions, he can’t indulge every meal like it’s a feast. Many families are struggling, so it’s better to save where possible.

"That’s still not okay." Sheng Ning insisted, setting down the bowl and sitting down by herself.

"Stop dazing, hurry and eat! If we don’t eat soon, it’ll get cold. Or have you already eaten?"

"No, I knew you were waiting for me at home, so I came back as soon as I finished." Actually, the President insisted on keeping him for dinner, but he declined.

Xu Qigang sat down across from Sheng Ning, tried to sort out his thoughts to persuade her.

"Xiao Ning, I didn’t mean anything else..."

"Living Yama." Sheng Ning put down her chopsticks and gave him a glance, "I want to have a child, but I’m naturally cold and anemic, so I need to replenish too, otherwise it’ll be hard to get pregnant."

Her words made Xu Qigang’s hand, which was about to pick up the chopsticks, suddenly freeze in mid-air, it was the first time in his life he widened his eyes, surprised and thrilled.

"Xiao Ning..." He spoke with a tremble in his voice.

"Xiao Ning, I love you." He stood up, directly reached across the dining table, and hugged her tight.

"So will you let me make delicious food or not?"

"Yes, we must have delicious food every day, I’ll make it for you." His excited voice was trembling.

"Do you know how?"

"I can learn if I don’t."

"I can’t bear it, your hands are meant for handling weapons, how could I let them handle a spatula every day."

"Nonsense." Xu Qigang released her and carefully held her hand, "Your hands are meant for handling weapons, your talent is the greatest I’ve ever seen."

"Even greater than you?"

"Of course!"

"Greater than the Young Chairman?"

"He’s nothing compared to you."

"Talking about your brother like that, even if he’s already passed, don’t you feel guilty?"

"No, my brother would understand me, he’d definitely know how hard it was for me to get a wife, he’d be happy for me now!" Before Meng Fan passed away, he worried every day that I’d remain single forever.

Sheng Ning smiled contently, her smile like a joyful little cat.

"My wife..."

"Hmm?"

"Nothing!" Xu Qigang shook his head, helped her sit down, "Let’s eat!"

What he actually wanted to say was, it always felt like Xiao Ning married him and gave up too much for childbirth and raising a family. She could become a sharpshooter, further her studies in the prestigious colleges everyone dreams of, and pursue the highest realms of art.

But because she married him, she had to give up all of that.
