She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 976: Chapter 1031: Feeling Sweet Inside

Sheng Ning noticed his action, and her eyes felt even more strained. During this time, she had been shopping non-stop, and while everyone else noticed, she hadn’t realized he had lost his watch. She secretly made up her mind to find time to go to the city and buy him a new one.

“Captain, I’m here to pick you up.” Wu Houhai’s voice sounded behind them, accompanied by a crisp clap as he greeted them energetically. Behind him were Li Duoxi, Chen Baoshan, Zhou Hong, Renault, and someone else who looked unfamiliar to Sheng Ning. Because there were many people moving in unison, the greeting sounded especially clear and loud.

“Captain, let me help you.”

“Help with what? I think you’re looking for a beating.” How could the Living Yama allow himself to show weakness in front of his subordinates?

Wu Houhai scolded, “Exactly, last night the captain could lift someone with one hand, does he really need your help? Where were you when someone needed help?”

“Let’s go!” Xu Qigang turned around, and the others greeted Sheng Ning before heading over to Wu Houhai’s house.

As Li Duoxi passed by Sheng Ning, he said proactively, “Sister-in-law, I’ve already asked my significant other to come and help you, they’ll be here soon.”

“Thank you!”

The house was truly a mess, and with everyone being so enthusiastic, it was hard for her to remain too aloof.

Before long, Xing Fang arrived in high spirits, stunned to see the room full of things. “Sister-in-law, why did you buy so much stuff?”

“Isn’t it because we’re going to live here properly now? So we can’t do things the way we did before.”

“That’s great!” Xing Fang said as she rolled up her sleeves and grabbed a rag to start cleaning, all the while chattering about the recent happenings in the Family Compound.

This suited Sheng Ning perfectly since she needed to know about the area where they would be living long-term; being clueless wasn’t an option.

Gossip about this family or that, favoritism towards boys, challenging mothers-in-law; Xing Fang had all sorts of inside info. There wasn’t anything about the Family Compound she didn’t know.

“Sister-in-law, you’re the talk of the Family Compound,” Xing Fang gave her a thumbs up. “Before, in our eyes, the captain was like the King of Hell! No family ever dared to speak to him. But who knew, after getting married, he’d turn out to be so sweet to his wife.”

Compliments made Sheng Ning feel delighted; her Living Yama sure knew how to be caring.

“But Sister-in-law, you’re amazing too, we’re all really envious of you!” Xing Fang genuinely admired Sheng Ning – the lead dancer of the Song and Dance Troupe, reputed to be outstanding, promoted herself, and rumor had it her grandfather and uncle were leaders.

Xing Fang wanted to inquire more, but since Sheng Ning didn’t say a word about it, she had to fall silent.

After cleaning and dusting, they started organizing things. This was the main task, as Sheng Ning had bought too much stuff—household necessities, clothes, shoes, and bits and pieces filled the entire living room.

“Oh my goodness! Sister-in-law, did you empty out the supply and marketing cooperative?”

Sheng Ning laughed, “Since Qigang got injured, more attention needs to be paid to daily life details, so I bought a bit too much.”

Many things were bought at Meng Ping’s mall because it was the best and most comprehensive place in the city.

She knew Meng Ping never visited, so there was nothing to feel guilty about when purchasing regularly.

Xing Fang gave her a strange look, initially thinking the daughter of a wealthy family and a Song and Dance Troupe member would never lift a finger for household chores. Unexpectedly, she managed things so well and was so considerate of Captain Xu.
