She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1709: Chapter 1786: I’m Wearing Long Johns

”Don’t worry, if Qin Xue dares to seek death, I’ll oblige her,” Su Hai’s anger flared up too, his voice was icier, ”She truly has no sense, daring to use her own brother as a cover. When the time comes, she won’t even know how her brother died.”

”Are you going to deal with Qin Yue?”

”Forget about Little Hooligan not coming back, if he dares to return, those things he’s done are enough to get him executed.” If something happens to Little Hooligan, the current Qin Family will be just like the former Shen Family.

Quickly falling apart.

”Let Qin Yue go, spare him!” Sheng Ning’s eyes dimmed, the anger stirred up deliberately by Qin Xue slowly subsided. Why should she keep fighting with Qin Xue? She should believe in Huo Yan.

”I just don’t want to see An’an sad.”

”...” After a long time, Su Hai finally asked, ”Are you going to pick up Huo Yan too?” After he said this, he seemed to have thought of something, and decisively added, ”Better not go. Even if you want to, your superiors won’t agree, unless I make the call. But I won’t feel at ease letting you go.”

It wasn’t about not feeling at ease; he simply thought it was unnecessary. He indulged Ningning without any limits, unlike his elder brother who wouldn’t consider negotiations.

”No, I’ll wait for him at home.” Sheng Ning felt a bit melancholic, quietly hung up the phone, and walked out. The old man from the front desk saw her and asked enthusiastically, ”President Xu? Why didn’t he come with you? It’s been so long since you both were here.”

”He’s very busy.” Sheng Ning greeted in a dazed way as she walked towards the General Union Dance Troupe, with none of her previous lightheartedness. She pondered many things on the way, feeling uneasy and weighed down.

Over at the General Union Dance Troupe, Qiu Bai and Yang Wenying had been waiting for her, looking left and right but still not seeing her. Finally, Wu Youli and Lu Dabao became anxious and sneaked out only to meet her halfway.

”Sheng Ning!” Lu Dabao’s voice was as energetic and infectious as ever, making people feel her joy by just listening.

”Dabao...” Sheng Ning barely reacted before Lu Dabao suddenly knocked her to the ground, leaving her words unsaid.

Alright! Dabao’s way of welcoming was certainly unique, very emblematic of her style. Luckily, Sheng Ning carried a big satchel that cushioned the fall, or it could have cost half her life.

”Sheng Ning, you’re finally back. I missed you so much, you don’t know ever since you were kidnapped I couldn’t eat. I missed you, you heartless thing, coming back all this time and not visiting me first. Are we still best friends or not?”

Lu Dabao’s strength was astonishing; Sheng Ning was pinned down and couldn’t get up, wishing she could die.

”Dabao, let me get up first.”

”No way, this is your punishment.”

”I admit I was wrong, okay? I’ve been thinking about you all along...”

”You shameless.” Lu Dabao blushed and gave her a glare, ”My brother said, not to always think about others without reason, that’s how hooligans behave.”

”...” Lu Dabao was still the same Lu Dabao, but why is her brother becoming more mischievous?

Wu Youli stood aside, watching them playfully scuffle, slowly revealing a gentle smile, as the sun warmed her, shining on the two on the ground, inadvertently showing moist eyes.

Now she was already a core member of the drama team, deeply valued by her leaders and admired by the audience, no longer the girl from before who would be bullied without protest.

”Dabao, I brought you gifts, lots of food. If you don’t let me up, it will all be crushed.”

Lu Dabao’s eyes lit up upon hearing about food and quickly stood up to find Sheng Ning lying on a satchel, hurriedly pulling her up.

”What food did you bring?”

Sheng Ning ignored her, pinched her cheek and sized her up, ”Let me see if you’ve missed me enough to lose weight, huh? Why do you seem even fatter?”

”Nonsense, I’m just dressed warmly, I’m wearing thermal pants.”
