She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 412: Chapter 422: Is This Bastard Crazy?

“On what grounds? We haven’t broken the law, so by what right do you arrest us?”

The police captain’s face was full of murderous intent, “Just on the grounds of your fraud and intentional murder, these two charges alone could get you the death penalty.”

“No… we didn’t…”

“Ahhhhh… murder!…” Second Aunt Qin screamed at the top of her lungs, her piercing voice so loud it could be heard down the street. People inside the police station couldn’t help but run outside to see what was happening.

“Whether you did or didn’t, evidence will tell. Take them away!”

“Yes!”

Seven or eight people came forward, subdued Second Aunt Qin, and sent her straight to the detention center. Once in there, it didn’t matter if you were a hero or a bear, you could be tamed.

The next day, Sheng Ningyi continued to sleep in a daze until he woke up at noon. Upon opening his eyes, the sunlight of winter flooded into the room.

It was warm, and the room was coated with a layer of fine, gold-like luster.

He sniffed, feeling his eyes dry and uncomfortable, knowing without a mirror they were likely red and swollen. His whole body ached even more, the pain in his head as if a drill were boring into it relentlessly made him frown involuntarily.

Sheng Ningyi got up from the bed, the room empty, Xu Qigang certainly wasn’t there at this time.

Getting out of bed, Sheng Ningyi, with her fluffy, disheveled hair, sat on the balcony with her hands propping up her chin, lost in thought.

This was a habit she had developed in her previous life.

In her last life, just after being put in prison, she would stare blankly every single day. Because only in that way could she forget all the pain, and shut out all the sharp, harsh verbal attacks.

Xu Qigang carried a food container back from the cafeteria, and from a distance as he approached the dormitory area, he saw Sheng Ningyi sitting on the balcony lost in thought.

Her eyes, usually bright, stared emptily into the unknown distance, without a single focal point.

His heart ached incessantly.

The balcony was narrow, a slight lack of attention could mean a fall.

Xu Qigang quickened his pace, rushing up the stairs like a gust of wind. Opening the door to the room, he cautiously approached the balcony.

“Xiao Ning…” Xu Qigang called softly, “Xiao Ning…” He called her name several times, but Sheng Ningyi didn’t respond.

“Xiao Ning…” He stepped closer, and taking advantage of Sheng Ningyi’s unawareness, he quickly embraced her, tumbling from the balcony to the living room floor with her in his arms.

“Eh? When did you come back?” Sheng Ningyi, pressed to the ground by Xu Qigang, could hear his heart pounding wildly, which brought her back to her senses.

Xu Qigang, however, looked at her as if he hadn’t heard her, his eyes sparkling bright.

Now, tossed around by him, Sheng Ningyi had no more energy and could only lie limp, allowing him to wrap his arms around her.

“Dare to do that again?” Xu Qigang regained his composure, his voice low and hoarse as he threatened. God knows, when he saw her sitting like that on the balcony, all his blood seemed to flow backward.

That feeling, that he was about to lose her, almost drove him mad.

“Don’t you ever scare me like that again.”

“I wasn’t!” Sheng Ningyi blinked, only then understanding that he had thought she was about to commit suicide.

How could this man be so good? She took a breath, her previously dry eyes now slightly moistened, becoming bright and spirited once again.

She had such a wonderful man, one who cherished her, cared for her, valued her—how could she possibly be distressed? What right did she have to keep wallowing in the affairs of her past life?

Wasn’t this second chance at life a sign of God’s love for her? Given the opportunity to start over, what right did she have to indulge in self-pity and regret?
