She Lives without Regret in This Life

”Of course not!” Sheng Ning took a deep breath.

She really shouldn’t be getting mad at Gu Yunbo and Lin En. Lin En is mixed-race, grew up in Country M, and is used to talking like that; she doesn’t understand how indirect they are.

As for Gu Yunbo, that’s just her having a cheap mouth.

If she fussed with the two of them, she’d only be asking for trouble herself, plus that brat of a son and daughter are both total little snobs.

”Don’t block the doorway, you two. Come in and sit.”

”Oh!”

The two of them came in in perfect sync and sat down, one on the left and one on the right.

With her hand propping up her chin, Sheng Ning carefully told them all the things she’d never said before. Including her own background, An’an’s background, how she originally got into the General Union, and what happened when she was living in the countryside.

Listening, Lin En clenched her small fists tightly, face full of tension and worry.

Even the laid‑back look in Gu Yunbo’s eyes gained a degree of seriousness.

She hadn’t expected that behind Sheng Ning’s powerful family background, there were so many hardships and setbacks hidden. She even more hadn’t expected that the life experience of that little brat from just now would be even more heartbreaking than Sheng Ning’s.

”So, my little sister is the treasure of my heart. No matter who it is, even if they say a single bad thing about her, I can’t help but lose my temper and get angry. So I’m really sorry about just now.”

”Auntie, it was our fault.”

”Uh, uh, uh...” Gu Yunbo turned her head away awkwardly. ”Don’t worry, your sister is my sister from now on.”

”Thanks!” Sheng Ning gave the two of them a hug.

The bathroom was right inside the bedroom. With the faucet off you could clearly hear what was going on outside, but once the tap was turned on, the sound of the water would block out any conversation, so Sheng Ning assumed An’an definitely couldn’t hear them.

What she didn’t know was that An’an had gone through professional training in the Northwest. Her hearing was much better than an ordinary person’s; she had just heard every word outside without missing a single one.

Her slim figure stood all alone under the shower, letting the warm water wash over her body. Her head was tilted up, but her face was already streaming with tears.

After a long time, she raised a hand to wipe the water from her face and muttered softly to herself.

”Sister, I’ve grown up. I’m fully capable of protecting myself now, and I’m fully capable of protecting you. From now on, let me be the one to guard this home.”

The three of them chatted outside for over half an hour. An’an still didn’t come out. In the end, when they’d waited so long they were getting anxious, Gu Yunbo broke the door open and found that An’an had actually fallen asleep inside.

”She must be exhausted.” She grabbed a big bath towel, wrapped it around An’an’s whole body, and easily carried her to the bed. ”Your sister looks like she’s malnourished.”

”I’ll make sure to nurse her back to health.” Sheng Ning pulled the covers over An’an. Just then Aunt Feng had come back from buying groceries. After entrusting An’an and the two babies to Aunt Feng and Lin En, Sheng Ning went out with Gu Yunbo.

They’d agreed to go to Xilin University for training today, and she’d decided she would make time to go every week from now on.

When they reached the school gate, Sheng Ning looked at the world‑famous university in front of her and nodded to herself inwardly. No wonder this place produced the most leaders in Country M; it really was something else.

”Gu, you’re late again.” The comrade on guard saw Gu Yunbo coming and called out teasingly.

Gu Yunbo was late so often she was already famous across campus.

”Hahaha... You didn’t see anything, you didn’t see anything.”

”But I did see.” The straightforward M national said it with a very serious face.

”Another idiot—simple‑minded and well‑developed muscles.” Gu Yunbo winked at Sheng Ning and helplessly spread her hands.
