She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 848: Chapter 888: Xiao Ning, Listen to Me

”Alright, if you don’t want to smoke, no one’s forcing you.” Sheng Ning cut him off domineeringly, ”You’ve really disappointed me. You can’t even get out of bed, yet you dare to smoke. I never say anything when you smoke normally; it’s normal for men to smoke. But you... you’re simply reckless.”

Sheng Ning picked up the clothes in the room and turned to leave, ”Xiao Ning, listen to me, I didn’t mean to. I promise I won’t smoke again, don’t be mad.” Xu Qigang struggled to get up from the bed, while Sheng Ning pushed open the door, just in time to see Sister Guo coming back angrily, and shouted loudly, ”Sister Guo, there’s a patient smoking here, come and take care of it.”

”What? Captain Xu is smoking?” Sister Guo nearly fainted upon hearing this and hurriedly stepped into the ward, almost getting knocked out by the pungent smoke inside the room.

”This is outrageous, simply outrageous. The visitors are out of line, and you as a patient are also out of line.” Sister Guo pointed at Xu Qigang sternly and said, ”Captain Xu, do you know how dangerous, how important your life is? How can you? Do you know what your current physical condition is like? How dare you smoke? This is outrageous, absolutely outrageous. I’ve never seen such an outrageous Chairman Shen, such an outrageous Captain.” Sister Guo is the strictest in the entire hospital when it comes to professional dedication and demands on the patients, and she cannot tolerate doctors going all out to save lives only for the patients to disregard their own health.

This was the first time she had seen Xu Qigang smoking, and it utterly shattered her worldview.

Initially, Xu Qigang was struggling to get out of bed, but after what Sister Guo said, he could only lean expressionlessly against the pillow.

”Captain Xu, your lung just got a bullet hole, and yet you dare to smoke. Do you know how serious the consequences could be? What if there’s an infection? What if complications arise?”

”It’s fine...” Xu Qigang mumbled, ”I’m well aware of my recovery capabilities.” He takes the most pride in his robust recovery ability.

”Even so, you can’t just rely on being young and fit to mess around with yourself.”

Sheng Ning listened with even greater displeasure, ”Xu Qigang, so what you’re saying is you actually knew, but you relied on your recovery ability and smoked with abandon!”

”Xiao Ning, this is all our Chairman Shen’s fault. If it weren’t for him, how could I possibly be smoking? Look, I don’t even have any cigarettes, the only pack I had on me was finished in S Country half a month ago. I’ve gone two months without smoking.”

Sheng Ning knew he was suffering from nicotine withdrawal. In the harsh and dangerous environment of S Country, he managed to stay alert enough to ignore his cravings. But now, after returning with serious injuries, it’s another matter. Today, Shen Feihu must have smoked in front of him.

Hmph! These hooligans have really gone too far, can’t let it continue! In the future, Rescue Association people are not allowed to visit anymore. Otherwise, the ward will become a mess.

”The Rescue Association is not allowed to visit anymore,” Sister Guo said angrily, opening all the windows in the room.

Sheng Ning was both angry and distressed, but in the end, she heartlessly left with the clothes, ignoring everyone.

Chen Huaying heard the commotion outside, turned around, and ran to Chen Yingjie’s room, pushed the door open, nearly knocked out by the smoke inside.

”Chen Yingjie, how dare you smoke too.”

”I didn’t!” Chen Yingjie looked innocent, ”It was my friend smoking, I already tried to stop him but it didn’t work.”

”Really?” Chen Huaying didn’t believe her brother would be so honest!
