She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 729: Chapter 760: Holding Hands Secretly

Both individuals clapped their hands together at the same time, producing a loud sound in the air.

Standing in front of the window inside the house, Sheng Ning and Su Huai’an stared out in astonishment. “Is this the rival in love declaring a truce?”

Sheng Ning was extremely embarrassed, “Cousin, don’t talk nonsense!”

Su Huai’an also regretted his misplaced words and quickly apologized, “Sorry! In fact, Meng Ping and Xu Qigang have always had a good relationship. Before Meng Fan passed away, he entrusted Meng Ping to Xu Qigang, and they both understood each other deeply. Otherwise, with Meng Ping’s terrible temper, fearing no one but Xu Qigang.”

Speaking of which, they used to get beaten up often, and everyone just watched and laughed!

“You go upstairs to see if the grandfather has woken up, and I will go to invite Chen Huaying over for dinner.” Sheng Ning and Su Huai’an each took on a task, removed their aprons, and left the house without glancing sideways as they passed by the three individuals.

Meng Ping’s action of smoking froze, his eyes uncontrollably glued to Sheng Ning, unable to look away. He knew he should not keep watching or miss her, yet he couldn’t control himself.

His heart, which he thought would never be lively again, suddenly throbbed powerfully. Involuntarily, Meng Ping pressed a hand to his chest, then painfully closed his eyes.

Su Hai observed Meng Ping’s reaction silently, and the slight pleasure he felt at his misfortune also disappeared.

Seeing Sheng Ning come out, Xu Qigang put out his cigarette and quickly followed her.

“Why are you here?” Sheng Ning turned her head as someone grasped her left hand, “I’m going to invite Chen Huaying to have lunch together.”

“Then I’ll call Chen Yingjie.” Xu Qigang gently pinched her hand, making Sheng Ning shyly lower her head.

His palm was wide, thick, dry, and warm, best suited for holding a gun because it didn’t sweat and could maintain a high standard over a long period. At this moment, he enveloped Sheng Ning’s hand entirely in his palm, treating it with such care and treasuring it deeply.

“Let go, many people are watching.”

“It’s fine! Grasping my wife’s hand, who dares to say a word!”

Sheng Ning tried to pull away, but he gripped even tighter, unwilling to let go. Ultimately unable to do anything about it, they ended up holding hands all the way to Chen Huaying’s house, turning a corner and passing right by the Hai Family’s gate, where Hai Shen was setting off firecrackers in the yard. Seeing Xu Qigang and Sheng Ning, he greeted them warmly.

“Happy New Year!”

“Happy New Year!”

“Come in and sit down.” Hai Shen came out from the yard and was about to take a cigarette from his pocket. Xu Qigang was also about to take out a cigarette, and they both politely declined each other, but in the end, Hai Shen still lit one for Xu Qigang.

“You’re the boss, how could I, the subordinate, light your cigarette.” Hai Shen was noticeably more congenial than he had been during a previous training camp, making Sheng Ning feel a bit uncomfortable.

“Sister-in-law, you don’t mind us smoking, do you?”

“I mind, can you put it out now?” Sheng Ning countered.

“Uh…” Hai Shen scratched his head awkwardly and was about to speak when a sharp voice called out from the yard, “Brother, who are you talking to?”

Hai Lan emerged from the house, her walk slightly limp, not noticeable unless she walked quickly. But if she did, it was very apparent, and dancing was completely out of the question.

This section shows the Double festival couple coaxing her, planning to arrange a lighter job for her.

“Why is it you guys?” Seeing Sheng Ning, Hai Lan wanted to pounce on her but was stopped by Hai Shen.

“Hai Lan!” He shouted fiercely, “Dare to move and see what happens!”

“Brother, it’s all their fault, it’s all Sheng Ning’s fault.” Hai Lan bitterly pointed at Sheng Ning. “Brother, help me kill her, kill her now.”

A glint of murderous intent flashed in Xu Qigang’s eyes, resembling a beast ready to pounce. No need for Hai Shen to say anything, as Hai Lan was frightened into silence by the look in his eyes.
