She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1800: Chapter 1877: Touch It

”Touch here.” Xu Qigang said, grabbing her soft right hand and pushing it inside his clothes. A long scar on his shoulder extends all the way to his heart. Continuing inward, along his firm, elastic chest muscles, down to his slightly uneven ribs.

Having spent so much time with the rescue team, Sheng Ning knew it was a gunshot wound.

”At that time, there was a shortage of ammunition, and there was no way to treat the injuries. On the way back, Qin Yue was also being uncooperative...” No matter how difficult the tasks have been, he’s always chosen to report the good news and not the bad.

This is the last thing he wants to do, trying to gain her sympathy in this way.

”Let go.” Sheng Ning said coldly, her eyes constantly downcast, avoiding his gaze.

Xu Qigang was stunned, unable to hide his desolate expression.

”Alright!” He pursed his lips and released his hold on her, standing silently in the darkness, half of his tall silhouette enveloped in shadows, exuding an indescribable bitterness.

Sheng Ning didn’t dare look at him. She scrambled up from the ground and ran away in embarrassment.

She knew she would become soft-hearted. Hearing his words, touching his wounds, they hurt her more deeply than they hurt him. She had softened long ago; she understood Xu Qigang better than anyone.

She realized clearly what kind of person he was—calm, self-controlled. In the past life, even without her, he did not end up with Qin Xue, and so he would not in this life. But because of love, she could not bear such a scene.

Sheng Ning ran on the concrete road of the General Union, tears rolling down her cheeks. She felt a bit sentimental, an indescribable suffocation in her heart. She couldn’t let him go, yet couldn’t resist this impulse.

Indeed, a crack had formed in her heart, leaving her constantly uneasy.

Forgiving him felt uncomfortable, but not forgiving him felt even worse. These two extreme emotions tortured her to the brink of madness. While outsiders saw her as calm and unperturbed, making Xu Qigang lose his mind, who knew how she truly felt inside?

This marriage couldn’t be ended.

Searching her heart, was she truly reluctant to divorce? No... Mentioning divorce was merely her throwing a tantrum. If she were truly to divorce, she wouldn’t be willing.

She couldn’t bear it, nor could their two children.

After the performance, Shen Feihu came out looking everywhere but couldn’t find Xu Qigang. The two had agreed earlier to grab a drink together after the event. Unable to find him anywhere, it seemed likely this kid went off chasing his wife again. As he walked out of the auditorium and reached the entrance of the General Union, he encountered Renault, standing by the car, spinning around in anxiety.

”Renault, come here.” Shen Feihu waved his hand, calling out.

”Hello, President.” Renault greeted simply.

”I heard you’re getting married, and your wife is Principal Feng’s daughter?” Shen Feihu chuckled, feeling both envious and jealous inside. Renault, who had no parents or family background, managed to marry the daughter of the National Security University’s principal. Yet his own disappointing son was still a bachelor, utterly embarrassing Shen Feihu.

And now he frequently throws tantrums, even though Shen hasn’t really said anything! As a result, the son stays at the rescue team every day, not even returning home. It’s simply unseemly and far from reassuring.

Earlier today, Shen Feihu even mentioned to his wife, ”My position isn’t low, so why can’t our son find a wife?” But his wife gave him a disdainful look, and her words still echo in his ears.

”With your behavior, what girl would want to marry into this family?”
