She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1705: Chapter 1782: Reporting In

Jiang Shaobo was originally supposed to meet Meng Ping at a small restaurant on National Security Road that they used to frequent. He arrived on time and waited for half an hour without seeing anyone. Just as he was about to leave, he ran into Shen Ming.

”What a coincidence! Let’s have a meal together.” Shen Ming’s smile was warm.

Jiang Shaobo said in surprise, ”Why haven’t you gone back to the Northern District yet?” Recently, he’d heard quite a bit about the tumultuous affairs between Shen Ming and the Ji Family, most of which were not favorable for Shen Ming. If it were someone else, they would have been back dealing with it by now, yet Shen Ming remained composed.

”It’s rare to come back, and there are still some things at home that haven’t been finished.” Shen Ming sat automatically across from Jiang Shaobo and casually ordered two dishes.

Jiang Shaobo nodded. He had been about to leave but could only sit back down.

”You’re waiting for Meng Ping, right? He probably won’t come. I just saw his car meeting Chairman Meng’s car in front of the Provincial Rescue Center as I passed by.”

”Damn it, that bastard isn’t coming and didn’t even bother to let me know first.” Jiang Shaobo was furious, having taken leave to come out only for that unreliable bastard to flake.

”Are you guys very busy? There shouldn’t be many tasks right after the New Year!”

”You came from here; don’t you know?” Jiang Shaobo didn’t utter an extra word, completely deflecting Shen Ming’s attempts to glean any useful information from him.

In the end, he had to give up.

Jiang Shaobo could hold his own; that’s why he had become best friends with Shen Yu in the past. He appeared impulsive, but in reality, he was smarter than most. After the meal, there wasn’t much to talk about, and after Shen Ming left, Jiang Shaobo stood in place for a long time without moving.

With one person after another looking for him, anyone would find it suspicious and even ghosts wouldn’t believe it’s nothing important. Did they really think Jiang Shaobo was an idiot?

General Union

After nearly a year away, Sheng Ning felt hesitant to step in again. Standing before the solemn gates, she raised her head and looked around, vivid memories of being driven back by the Living Yama filled her mind.

The scenes were so clear, as if they all just happened yesterday. Thinking of his handsome, resolute face and charming eyebrows, Sheng Ning couldn’t help but smile enchantingly. Her heartbeat quickened wildly, a layer of peachy color dusting her fair cheeks.

In the morning, while she was about to leave, her uncle called to tell her the Living Yama was back.

Great news!

In Country M, their days together were too few, and she had so many things she hadn’t said to him. After reporting in today, she’d head to the War Wolf Rescue Team Family Courtyard and tidy up the house, buy all the things they needed, and when he got back, she planned to cook personally.

”Comrade, who are you looking for?” Seeing her standing there without going in, someone came out to ask.

Sheng Ning took a glance and realized it wasn’t any familiar face she knew anymore.

”Hello, I’m Sheng Ning from the General Union Dance Troupe, and I’m here to report today,” Sheng Ning said with a smile. Even after having a child, she hadn’t changed from when she first joined the General Union.

Blushing from her smile, the person couldn’t quite meet her gaze but didn’t forget to perform their duty, ”Please show your ID.”

”Sorry, I forgot to bring my ID.” She lived in the courtyard, specifically in the War Wolf Rescue Team Family Courtyard, so she didn’t bother to go into the city to fetch it.

”Without an ID, I can’t let you in.” The young comrade looked slightly troubled.

Sheng Ning had a sudden idea. Her husband had become the captain, and she hadn’t taken advantage of it yet! This time, she’d use her connections, ”Comrade, my husband is Xu Qigang, so I wouldn’t lie to you.”
