She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 940: Chapter 990: It’s Convenient for You, Not for Me

Sheng Ning rubbed her forehead, wondering if she had shot herself in the foot. “If you want to make a lot of money, you must first study hard, otherwise how will you earn money? By relying on looks?” Although celebrities and models can make money from their looks, it’s not feasible in the eighties.

She didn’t want An’an to be an outlier; she wasn’t even satisfied with her own face. It was pure trouble, not a good thing. In her past life, she got into trouble, and her looks played a big part.

“That’s not going to work, I’m not as good-looking as you, so I can’t make money.”

“That’s why you need to study hard.”

“Okay, I get it! Are you annoyed? If you keep nagging, you’ll be just like my mom.”

Was she being disliked?

Xu Qigang’s recovery was quick; within a week, he was already able to join Chen Yingjie to form a “brother in adversity” duo and take walks in the garden.

His spring-like demeanor and astonishing recovery ability once again refreshed the Doctor’s understanding.

As he got better physically, Sheng Ning became increasingly unsettled. Since their last passionate encounter, she hadn’t dared to stay overnight at the hospital. The next day, she took her clothes and went to stay with An’an at the guesthouse.

These days, whenever she brought him food or did his laundry, she felt like she’d been X-rayed from head to toe whenever she appeared in front of him.

It made her feel exposed, and several times when pouring water, she almost knocked over the cup.

As the weather got hotter, Sheng Ning’s clothes became thinner. Sometimes while washing his hair, if he casually glanced across her chest, it made her legs weak and unable to stand firm.

“Xiao Ning, why don’t you move back in?”

“No way!” Sheng Ning refused sternly.

“I’ll be discharged in a few days,” Xu Qigang said with anticipation in his voice.

“Perfect, I’ve already tidied up An’an’s room in advance; she will be living with us.”

Xu Qigang’s handsome face immediately fell, “The house is too small; with An’an here, it’s too inconvenient.”

“How is it inconvenient? It’s obviously very convenient; I cook and do the laundry all at once.”

Xu Qigang coughed lightly, “It’s convenient for you, but not for me.”

Sheng Ning blushed deeply, lowering her head to avoid his passionate gaze. Uh…it is indeed a bit inconvenient, especially since she now wants a baby, and ever since they got married, they haven’t had much time together.

“But, I’m An’an’s sister; I can’t not take care of her.”

“I know, and I’m her brother-in-law, so of course I have to take good care of her too.”

“That’s more like it.” Sheng Ning gave him an approving look, “You need to treat An’an as you would your own sister.”

“Love me, love my dog—do you even need to say that?” Xu Qigang’s expression was serious, which Sheng Ning adored most about him.

Whenever she saw his earnest handsome face, her heart itched.

“By the way, let’s send dad and mom home today!” Xu Qigang suggested proactively.

“Sure!” Sheng Ning nodded, noting that while he rarely spoke authoritatively at home, whenever he did, everyone listened—including Xu Xianxiong and Zhao Lanzi.

This was the true head of the household.

Sheng Ning didn’t ask for a reason, choosing to trust and execute unconditionally.

“Knock, knock…” there was a knock on the door.

Sheng Ning took a step back, tidied her hair, and cleared her throat before saying, “Come in.”

Shangguan Tao and Zhou Hong came in together, both looking relaxed. It was obvious that with Xu Qigang’s recovery going well, their stress had significantly reduced.
