She Lives without Regret in This Life

If the apple of one’s eye encounters trouble in Country M, Minister Hai might become extremely anxious.

”Hmm!” This time Su Hai didn’t oppose, and inwardly agreed.

”Should we inform Sheng Ning?”

At this, Su Hai gave a helpless smile. ”No need, she was taken away by Xu Qigang.”

”...” Is this a case of absence making the heart grow fonder?

The two were just talking when footsteps were heard outside. Gu Yunbo, carrying Little Brother, went out and saw Sheng Ning and Xu Qigang coming in.

”Where’s An’an?” As soon as Sheng Ning came in, she pushed aside Xu Qigang and hurried over.

”In...” My goodness, she’s so fast, does she practice track and field?

Sheng Ning rushed into the room and saw An’an lying on the bed. Her gaze changed instantly. Her eyes narrowed slightly, a surge of anger hidden in her eyes. Her vulnerability and helplessness were only shown in front of Xu Qigang. No matter how much she’s been through, her tears, or sorrow, they would never be readily exposed.

”What’s wrong? Did you call the doctor?”

”It’s nothing.” Su Hai touched her forehead, ”Her temperature has dropped. She just needs a nap.”

Sheng Ning breathed a sigh of relief, sitting by the bed and looking at An’an with compassion. Qin Yue’s situation must have caused her great harm. For the past month, who knows how she’s been surviving.

She felt that she had failed as a sister.

The room’s atmosphere was momentarily tense, until Little Brother suddenly let out a gurgling laugh, melting the coldness in Sheng Ning’s eyes. She turned around and saw Little Brother flapping his little arms and legs, trying to pounce into Xu Qigang’s embrace.

Someone easily carried his son into his arms, glanced at her, ”You don’t have to worry. An’an isn’t as fragile as you think.” He said, then carried his son to the nursery.

”I want to be alone.” Sheng Ning said weakly.

Su Hai and Gu Yunbo said nothing more, and left the room silently, even helping close the door on their way out.

It was unknown how long time had passed before An’an slowly opened her eyes, seeing her sister close by, tears suddenly streaming from her eyes.

”Sis.” She looked at Sheng Ning pitifully, her nose red, ”The little hooligan doesn’t remember me anymore.”

”I know.”

”Then I don’t want to remember him either, do you think that’s okay?” An’an looked at her pleadingly.

Sheng Ning felt a sharp pain in her heart, and an uncontrollable image flashed through her mind — the thin coffin at the village entrance in her past life. She held An’an’s hand tightly, ”That’s fine, it’s all good.”

”But I can’t let go.”

”I believe Qin Yue won’t forget you.” Sheng Ning gently patted her hand, ”You love him so much, give him some time.”

”Just like you and Brother-in-law?” An’an blinked, her eyes filled with envy, ”Others said you were dead, but Brother-in-law always firmly believed you were alive. Even if you never sent any message, he was willing to wait forever.”

Sheng Ning was stunned.

An’an added, ”I was thinking, regardless of whether you were dead or alive, for Brother-in-law it was the same result. He believed you weren’t dead, so you’d forever live in his heart.”

Sheng Ning was silent for a long time, then nodded firmly, ”Hmm! An’an, love isn’t all about beauty. It includes pain, torment, suspicion, stagnation, and even hatred. But we mustn’t be afraid, as long as our hearts remain unwavering, and our original intent unchanged, we will definitely find happiness.”

”What if we can’t find it? What if I forget? What if I change my heart?”
