She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1576: Chapter 1652: You’re Not Being Honest

“…” This…this is just too blatant, isn’t it?

“What if it’s a husband?” Sheng Ning seemed to notice someone clenching their fists.

“If he’s your man, then I can’t borrow him.” Mary seemed to feel regretful that she couldn’t borrow him, her blue eyes sizing Xu Qigang up and down, trying to get a few extra glances.

“Although I can’t borrow him to use in bed, isn’t it fine if I borrow him as a model? He’d look fantastic in a suit.”

The calmness that Xu Qigang had just regained was immediately swept away by a stormy expression. Mary, who hadn’t sensed the danger earlier, now fully felt the chilling killing intent.

She nervously hid behind Sheng Ning and cautiously said, “Uh…he doesn’t seem very willing.”

“…” At least you’re not completely oblivious.

“Well…if he’s not willing, then forget it.” God! How dangerous, why does it feel like Death is calling out to her?

“Let me introduce, this is my husband, you can call him Xu.” Afraid Mary might say something shocking, Sheng Ning hurriedly introduced them: “This is my good friend, Valentino’s chief designer, the fashion world socialite Mary Crabb.”

Xu Qigang’s handsome face turned stony, and he didn’t even bother to shake hands or greet her.

“Uh…” The atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Sheng Ning had no choice but to continue, “Why don’t you wait outside for me, I’ll leave as soon as I’ve finished buying clothes.”

“No way.” Xu Qigang refused, looking at Sheng Ning with a seemingly plaintive expression.

Ugh…why does it feel like she’s a wife caught cheating?

“Then…then wait for me.”

With an icy presence blocking the room, the entire studio’s air pressure dropped to a frightening level. Afraid that someone might lose their patience waiting, Sheng Ning planned to make it quick.

“I came today to pick out some clothes for the little brother and sister, quite a few.” Since they were returning to the country soon, she wanted to buy enough clothes for the future two babies for the next five years.

“And also for myself, my husband, my relatives, and my friends.” By this count, she needed to buy a lot—clothes, shoes, hats, perfume, jewelry, and more.

For relatives and friends back in the country, plus her teammates, Living Yama’s teammates, etc., and engagements between family members, adding it all up was overwhelming.

It wasn’t about the expense; it was the heavy burden of purchasing tasks.

“So many?” Mary’s eyes lit up.

“I know Valentino’s product lines are extensive, which is why I thought of you.”

“Don’t worry, leave it to me. You just need to give me a rough shopping list. It doesn’t need to be too detailed, just include who you’re giving it to, how many people, their fashion preferences, etc.”

“Alright! I’ll go back today and send someone over with it tomorrow. You help me arrange everything and pack it up; I’ll use it when I return in a month.”

“No problem, the task given to me by the Pang Family Patriarch, I guarantee to fulfill.” Besides, this is also a big order with considerable profit margins.

“Thank you!”

After finalizing the time with Mary, Sheng Ning was whisked away without a word by Xu Qigang, leaving the Feng family’s bodyguards unable to catch up, and they had to return dejectedly.

The car sped along the highway, and Sheng Ning tilted her head watching someone focused on driving, her eyes filled with laughter. That person had a stern face—if not for his hands, one might think he was such a serious person!

A trace of an imperceptible smile lifted the corners of Xu Qigang’s tightly pressed lips, and at this point, he had driven the car to the seaside, parking not at the beach villa, but at the rocks a short distance from the villa.
