She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 467: Chapter 479 Too Embarrassing

Even he felt like a stranger to himself.

Fortunately, he hadn’t known Xiao Ning at the Southern Border Rescue Field, otherwise the nickname “Little Hooligan” that Qin Yue used might very well have been his.

This time, Sheng Ning’s actions weren’t intentional. No matter how bold or eager she was to see Huo Yan lose his composure, she wouldn’t dare be so reckless.

“Xiao Ning!” Xu Qigang keenly caught her subtle movement. He had originally planned to endure it and quickly get her to the destination. But her little gesture made it impossible for him to hold back.

The winter in the Northern region was barren, the sky dim as if it pressed down low. On the bumpy road, one could hardly see another soul for tens of miles. The roadside was filled with dry withered grass swaying back and forth in the howling northern wind.

The cold weather outside was no match for their burning hearts.

“Do you know that I love you?”

“Do you know?”

Sheng Ning repeated herself like a drunken person. Actually, she wasn’t asking; she simply wanted to tell him, to make sure he knew how dearly, dearly she loved him.

“I know, I know…” Xu Qigang looked at her, his handsome face showing a hint of a satisfied smile.

“Xiao Ning, I know everything.” He loved her, to the point where he could no longer concern himself with anything else.

She was his wife, his little wife, whom he intended to cherish and love for a lifetime.

*******

After a while, Xu Qigang regained the calm that had eluded him. He took a deep breath and carried Sheng Ning over to the back seat.

“I want to sit in the front.” Sheng Ning requested.

“No!” Xu Qigang sternly denied her request. He feared that if he let her sit in front, his life would prematurely end. “Xiao Ning, behave yourself! Did you hear me? This is an order.”

“Aye, aye, sir,” she saluted him earnestly.

“No fooling around.”

He warned her harshly, his eyes red with desire.

“Oh!” She’d really done it this time!

Sheng Ning bowed her head, not daring to look at Huo Yan’s handsome face. Her hands unconsciously twined together as she sat in the back seat, her bright eyes darting around.

The car started again, Xu Qigang drove even faster, and Sheng Ning was nearly shaken apart. At a speed of 150km/h, it took only twenty minutes to catch up to the large truck ahead.

“We caught up so quickly?” Caught off guard, Sheng Ning blurted out her internal thoughts, “That’s too fast.”

If possible, she wished this road would never end, even if it meant spending just one more minute with him, she would willingly do so.

“We’re here!” Xu Qigang pursed his lips, his heart filled with reluctance, but still, he kept a cold, indifferent facade.

He knew she didn’t want to leave, and he didn’t want to, either. But as a man, he must assume more responsibility and obligation.

Both cars came to a stop, and Sheng Ning looked at Xu Qigang with reluctance before getting out of the car.

“King Yan…” she whispered: “I’ll behave well and get promoted quickly. I’ll also obediently listen, definitely not causing trouble, not glancing at another man.”

She didn’t want to torment him anymore; she wanted to be with him as soon as possible, for him to love her, to cherish her! To give herself completely to him.

“King Yan, you must wait for me.”

The emotion in Sheng Ning’s eyes softened Xu Qigang’s tense face; his stern lips curled into a slight smile.

“Mhm!” He nodded heavily.

“Then you wait for me!” Her hand on the car door, she couldn’t bear to open it. She finally understood the pain of the families of rescue comrades, the long separation, not being able to be side by side with the man she loved every day. Could there be anything more torturous?

They weren’t married yet, but she had already felt the pain of yearning.
