She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 500: Chapter 516: The Person Shen Jianguo Likes

“Ah? Looking for Captain Shen?” The person who was asked felt surprised, delighted, and disappointed all at once. Why wasn’t it him they were looking for! Alas… Captain Shen really did incite envy.

“Exactly! I’m here to see him,” Sheng Ning reiterated.

“Uh uh… he’s here, in the back!” the other person stammered in reply.

“Thank you!” Sheng Ning smiled and, tiptoeing, indeed saw Shen Jianguo foolishly standing motionless. So, she waved her hand.

Shen Jianguo remained stationary, knowing that Living Yama was right behind him, so he didn’t think Ningning had come for him.

Xu Qigang, who had stopped talking to Li Duoxi, was about to step forward, but suddenly halted. It wasn’t him Ningning was looking at, it wasn’t him she was waiting for.

“Captain…” Li Duoxi called out with a trembling voice, scared by the deep gloom in Xu Qigang’s eyes, breaking into a cold sweat.

“He’s looking for you!” someone nudged Shen Jianguo.

Only then did Shen Jianguo come back to his senses, a flash of ecstasy crossing his heart as he ran to Sheng Ning. “I thought you would never want to talk to me again!”

The last time at the General Union, Sheng Ning’s rejection was still a scar on his heart.

“I need to talk to you, come with me.”

“Okay!” Shen Jianguo followed Sheng Ning foolishly.

As they left, the previously slow-moving crowd suddenly dispersed, all discussing loudly. They talked about the relationship between the Union Flower and Shen Jianguo, as everyone was about to go on a mission, everyone busy saying goodbye to their families, their fiancées, their loves.

Could it be that the Union Flower was the one Shen Jianguo liked?

“Captain…” Li Duoxi foolishly stood next to Xu Qigang, not knowing what to say. Everyone else had left, just the two of them remained.

Xu Qigang stood still, his entire being like a statue. His handsome face cold, expression as unchanging as a millennia-old glacier.

Yet Li Duoxi felt like crying.

“Captain, don’t overthink it. You have to trust your wife.”

Xu Qigang ignored him, still unmoving.

“Captain, maybe they have something to discuss?”

After a long while, Xu Qigang said in a hoarse voice, “You go back first!”

“I… I’ll stay with you!” How could he leave at such a time!

“No need! You go back first,” Xu Qigang insisted.

“Oh, okay! Then, I’ll wait for you to return.” Li Duoxi left reluctantly, looking back three times, not at ease.

Xu Qigang walked alone to the same small grove, leaning against an old pine tree to smoke. One after another, the ground quickly littered with cigarette butts.

In the same place, without her presence, he felt so lonely.

Xu Qigang’s handsome brows and eyes were expressionless, distressingly so.

Ningning had always been the one who enthusiastically loved him, indulged him; her love and admiration for him were so unguarded.

Xu Qigang’s cold heart had long been filled by her, so he had never realized how important she had become to him, exceeding even his own life.

He simply couldn’t be without her.

Just now, he clearly saw in Xiao Ning’s eyes her worry and heartache for Shen Jianguo.

Yes, her heartache for Shen Jianguo, it tormented him like a knife twisting.

In fact, Xu Qigang had never felt secure enough, everyone at the General Union knew that Xiao Ning initially liked Shen Jianguo; she had even confessed to Shen Jianguo.

Later, against everyone’s expectations, she chose him. Perhaps it was because she fell off the stage, and he was the first one to take her to the hospital.

Xu Qigang had felt fortunate countless times for his actions then, but it was still not enough!
