She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 935: Chapter 982: Antonyms

“Let go.” Sheng Ning struggled as she saw her in-laws coming in.

“No, I won’t.”

Someone tightly wrapped her right hand in his large, hot palm, making her blush with embarrassment.

“Quickly let go, mom and dad are here.”

“It’s fine, even if they see us like this, they’ll pretend they didn’t.”

Sheng Ning realized that her husband was obviously shy. Before marriage, he would get embarrassed when she kissed him first. But after marriage, he changed completely.

Xu Qigang adjusted his expression and said guiltily, “Xiao Ning, I’m so useless.”

Sheng Ning looked at him in surprise, “Why do you say that?” She was too shy to say that in her heart Xu Qigang was a hero, her god.

“Yesterday’s matter, letting you face it alone, didn’t that show I’m useless?” A hint of gloom flashed in Xu Qigang’s eyes, “I promise I’ll never let you suffer any grievance again, no one will ever bully you.”

For her, he would work twice as hard to become her strongest support.

For some reason, even though she didn’t feel aggrieved yesterday, nor did she think about crying. But in front of him, she felt useless, just a word or a look from him could make her eyes well up with tears.

Sheng Ning blinked and used his blanket to wipe away her tears messily.

“Silly, you’ve already been very, very good, why are you apologizing?”

“Xiao Ning, I’m sorry!” Xu Qigang’s cold, hard heart softened instantly, feeling heartbroken. “Xiao Ning, please stop crying, your tears will make me even more guilty.”

Xu Qigang clumsily pulled her into his arms and wiped her tears away.

“I’ll wash my face and call mom and dad in.” Sheng Ning ran into the bathroom with a flushed face.

First, she washed her face with cold water, looked at her flushed cheeks in the mirror, and then cooled them with a wet towel for a while. She only came out when she was sure it was not noticeable.

Xu Qigang was resting with his eyes closed, the blanket casually covering his body, his high nose bridge, and his deeply contoured, three-dimensional features looked good no matter how you viewed them.

“I’ll go call mom and dad.” Sheng Ning quickly ran out.

Xu Qigang opened his eyes, looking at her back with deep affection and a complex emotion that was hard to decipher. He leaned back on the pillow, his relaxed brow furrowed tightly, and his pursed lips were more serious.

Seems it’s better to let mom and dad go back earlier. An’an can’t keep staying with them, it would be best to return to school soon.

At night, Sheng Ning took the three out to eat as previously agreed. When coming back, she specifically packed a serving of old hen soup from the restaurant for Xu Qigang. When ordering, she had asked the boss to start cooking it, so it was only ready when they left.

For convenience, she even bought a casserole dish.

Nowadays, authentic old hen soups are truly rare. Later on, wanting to drink genuine old hen soup would be as difficult as reaching the skies. Plus, with all the additives like MSG and chicken essence, it’s not healthy at all.

After eating, she sent them back to the guesthouse, and it was already past nine when she returned to the hospital room.

As she opened the door to the hospital room, Xu Qigang was looking at her intensely.

“Don’t look at me like that.” It felt as though she wasn’t wearing any clothes in front of him.

Xu Qigang said nothing, his gaze growing even hotter.

Sheng Ning took a deep breath, trying her best to calm down.

“Did you eat anything tonight?”

“Yes! Dinner with Chen Yingjie at the cafeteria, nutrition meal.”

“I brought you chicken soup.” Sheng Ning proudly presented the chicken soup. As soon as the lid was opened, the aroma filled the room.

To avoid affecting the indoor air, she opened all the windows.

“I’ll serve you a bowl first.” To replenish nutrition, the room was equipped with a full set of tableware. Sheng Ning fetched bowls and chopsticks and served Xu Qigang and Chen Yingjie each a bowl.

“Xiao Ning, you should eat some too.” Xu Qigang held the bowl, offering it to Sheng Ning instead of drinking it himself, “Xiao Ning, you’ve worked hard, you should replenish yourself, or I fear you won’t be able to handle it.”

“I’m fine, you drink!”

“You should drink.” Xu Qigang gave her a meaningful look and seriously said, “Really, you need to replenish well, or… if your body falls apart, I’ll be heartbroken.” He drew out the ending softly.

Sheng Ning realized late, but with his burning gaze on her, what wasn’t clear?

Her face turned bright red.

“Living Yama, you’re getting more and more improper, do you know that?”

“Hmm!” He nodded seriously, earnestly feeding her first.

Sheng Ning stubbornly said, “Living Yama, we’ll see who surrenders first then!”
