She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 208: Chapter 209: Who Flirts with Whom Chapter 208: Chapter 209: Who Flirts with Whom Taking leave was just an excuse; he had accumulated many years of unused vacation time. He didn’t actually need to ask for leave.

So he hadn’t come to reprimand her. Sheng Ning breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a bit disappointed.

She thought she was being a bit melodramatic. Initially, she was afraid he didn’t like her, always worrying about it. Now that he had finally shown some affection, she started to hesitate.

Sheng Ning shook her head, throwing these emotions away.

The jeep driven by Qianjin suddenly came to a stop, and under the huge inertia, Sheng Ning was thrown forward. Xu Qigang reacted swiftly, his strong arms catching her waist to prevent her from hitting the windshield.

Once Xu Qigang held her, he just couldn’t bear to let go.

Staring intently at the beautiful girl in his arms, he suddenly felt his mouth go dry and his whole body tense as steel.

Having such a beautiful wife that he couldn’t marry home was truly the greatest torture for a man. He prided himself on not being lustful; he had been away for years and hadn’t thought of finding a woman. But now, like a teenager, he almost couldn’t control his body’s impulses.

Held in his arms, Sheng Ning stared at him, her head spinning, feeling a bit dazed.

Xu Qigang’s Adam’s apple moved up and down as he struggled to suppress his restlessness, his voice hoarse, “Wife, where are you going?”

“to buy yarn!”

“Knit me a sweater, it’s cold during training every day.” In fact, he trained in a tank top even in the dead of winter.

“Okay!” Xu Qigang’s voice was usually deep and cool, but now it was slightly hoarse, the tone like a hook with an irresistibly charming allure.

Sheng Ning felt her mind go fuzzy.

“Wife, when can you marry me?”

“What?” Sheng Ning suddenly woke up, realizing he had been calling her wife all along. Her face blushed, and she wanted to push him away in panic. But then she thought, this did not fit her character.

It was she who had flirted with him first; how had the roles reversed now?

“Let me kiss you first, then I’ll consider it.” Sheng Ning’s face was red as an apple, her eyes bright with anticipation.

Though Xu Qigang’s skin was not pale, it definitely wasn’t dark. So when he heard Sheng Ning’s words, his handsome face turned incredibly unnatural.

His deep gaze swept over Sheng Ning’s delicate lips, imagining their sweet bliss, he almost wanted to tear her apart and gulp her down.

“No!” As a professional battle hero, the king of the rescue world, his greatest pride was his powerful self-control.

For the sake of her purity and reputation, he couldn’t take advantage of her before marriage.

“Why?” Hearing such a direct rejection, Sheng Ning’s stubbornness flared. She actively wrapped her arms around his neck, speaking softly and coyly, “Do you think I’m not pretty?”

“Of course not!”

“Then you don’t like me?”

Having never confessed his feelings to anyone since he was young, this made Xu Qigang very uncomfortable. But thinking about the wife he nearly had slipping away, he declared with a determination to cut the Gordian knot, “I do!”

The infamous Living Yama, to one day willingly be won over by a girl. If the old president of the rescue world knew, he would be utterly shocked.

“Then why won’t you kiss me?” Women always like to ask for more, especially in front of the men they fancy.
