She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 493: Chapter 509: Losing Control

The forest was quiet, and the quieter it got, the more you could hear the noise below.

Sheng Ning covertly glanced down, her eyes widening in shock at the large-scale scene below.

Xu Qigang quickly covered her eyes, his voice hoarse as he commanded, “Don’t look, what’s there to see? If you have to look, you can only look at me!” His voice carried a heavy trace of dissatisfaction.

“I’m looking at you, only at you.” She feared she’d get sty in her eyes from seeing too much!

By the time the two emerged from the small woods, it was already dark.

“I’m going back!”

“I’ll walk you.” Xu Qigang held on to her hand and didn’t let go.

“No need!”

“I’d better walk you there!” Xu Qigang walked ahead, and Sheng Ning quickly followed.

As they walked, Sheng Ning remembered to tell him the news she had prepared.

“That’s great, after your promotion you should apply for marriage,” Xu Qigang turned and ordered imperiously.

“Okay!” She was not pretentious and agreed cheerfully.

Xu Qigang held her left hand tightly the entire way.

Standing at the dormitory entrance, Sheng Ning silently looked at her fingers, almost red from Xu Qigang’s tight grasp, and her lips quivered slightly, a trace of sorrow flashing in her eyes.

This hand was held by Shen Jianguo this afternoon. When she jumped down from the truck, she didn’t notice initially, only felt someone was there to support her, so she instinctively grabbed the hand and jumped down.

When she realized it was Shen Jianguo, she remembered that it was his hand.

So, was Living Yama jealous? Was that why he was completely different today, losing his calm, losing control?

If Bai Oulan hadn’t come today, Living Yama might have gone mad and taken her on the spot.

After Xu Qigang escorted Sheng Ning back to her dormitory, he went straight to his temporary office and called Qin Yue, who was far in the Southern area.

“Hey! Did you finally remember me?” Qin Yue spoke in a dangling tone on the phone, “Did you miss me?”

Xu Qigang resisted the urge to hang up and said with pursed lips, “Can’t you go a day without looking for a fight, is that it?”

“Then come hit me! If you dare!” Hahaha… If you come to the Southern area, I definitely will beat you until you lay in the hospital for a month.

“I’m talking about serious matters.”

“What is it? Tell me!” Qin Yue instantly adopted a serious tone.

“I have an assignment for you!”

“Wait… You aren’t assigning me some dishonorable task again, are you?” Back in the Southern Border Rescue Field, whenever there was a dirty or underhanded tactic needed, he was the one to execute it.

Otherwise, his nickname as a little mobster would not have been so widely known.

“I declare upfront, I won’t go if it’s devious.”

Xu Qigang ignored him and said directly, “You know about Meng Fan’s fiancée, right?”

“Yeah! I know, I even sneaked a peek at her when I last visited your place. It hasn’t been easy for her because of Meng Fan.”

“That may not be the case!” Xu Qigang thought of the scene he saw in the woods today, a fiery blaze flickering in his eyes.

“Unmask her true face, please handle this matter.”

“You mean?” The mobster’s mind turned quickly, and Xu Qigang’s hint was enough for him to guess what it was.

“Right!”

“Alright, it’s truly despicable, she shouldn’t continue under Meng Fan’s banner.”

The next day, all the members of the Song and Dance Troupe were assembled for an organized rehearsal.

Qianjin, who had been absent the day before, appeared with the status of the Boss, and their arrogant stand outshone all the others, making them mere backdrops.

“See that? That is Bai Tian’e!” Chen Huaying pointed to a slender, gracefully posed young man in the Qianjin troop and whispered.

Bai Tian’e’s reputation was very prominent among the female comrades; before Sheng Ning rose to fame in the Liberation Work News, she was undisputedly the flower of the Song and Dance Troupe in the Northern area.

Bai Tian’e was not her real name; her surname was Bai, and her name was Bai Oulan. Because her grace resembled that of a swan, she earned the nickname Bai Tian’e.

Bai Oulan, presumably standing at 1.7 meters, had skin as white as snow. Standing among the crowd, she towered like a crane amongst chickens!

Her beauty made everyone around her pale in comparison.
