She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1697: Chapter 1774: The Youngest Professor

Su Huai’an finally breathed a sigh of relief. His camel-colored wool sweater inside the coat already had several handprints. He gave a helpless bitter smile and spread his hands out towards Sheng Ning.

”Are you okay? I didn’t expect you to be so popular.”

”I’m fine, just make sure not to tell Yingzi when we get back.” That girl was a little jar of jealousy; normally, even if he chatted a bit more with female students at school, she would torment him with it.

”Don’t worry, don’t worry.” Sheng Ning gestured with an understanding look.

Su Huai’an affectionately ruffled her hair, greeted the elders, and went to help with moving things.

Sheng Ning saw Shen Luhua and Sheng Laosan coming; her tears couldn’t be controlled and just kept falling, she looked pitifully at the two, causing their hearts to ache painfully.

She’s just a little girl in front of her parents; everything she encountered, the torment, and the dire moments all surfaced in her mind. The more she thought about it, the more sad she felt, and the more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt.

Seeing Shen Luhua, she directly threw herself into her embrace, crying, ”Mom, I missed you so much.”

”Good girl! We missed you too, missed you so much we couldn’t even sleep.” Sheng Ning’s incident, only Shen Luhua knew the whole story. She contacted old friends, and with just a question, she learned everything. But she didn’t dare utter a word, fearing the old man couldn’t bear it.

Later, her son-in-law contacted her, and An’an also contacted her, only then did she know Ningning was fine, which slightly relieved her. But her daughter was in a foreign land miles away, just thinking about it made her heart ache.

”It’s good to be back, it’s good to be back...”

This sudden change made the smiles disappear from Zhao Lanzi and Xu Xianxiong’s faces. The little brother in grandpa’s arms, seeing his mom crying so sadly, was also frightened and started crying loudly.

For a moment, the courtyard was in chaos.

Sheng Ning also realized she overreacted, unintentionally saw Su Huai’an coming in carrying things, looking bewildered, and couldn’t help but find it amusing.

”Ningning...” Su Huai’an looked at her helplessly, feeling heartache. He knew Ningning must have suffered a lot, and the family was prepared for it. Initially, Ningning appeared very calm, allowing them to adapt quickly, but there was still a bit of worry in their hearts.

Now seeing Ningning’s reaction, he realized that only in front of the closest people would she show her true emotions.

Su Huai’an muttered to himself, thankfully the little uncle didn’t come, otherwise, he would have probably felt uncomfortable.

Northern District, Weapon Research Institute

The Research Institute was also located on National Security Road, known as a regular scientific research institution, gathering the country’s top experts here. Theoretical results are transmitted from here, eventually transferred to the secret research facility in the desert, tested, and realized.

Ever since An’an was selected, he went directly to the most confidential secret research facility. People in the institute all knew they had recruited the youngest genius professor, a student snatched by several national treasure-level experts.

Yet no one had seen the real person, everyone’s curiosity was piqued.

Working in this field, they usually deal with experiments and various data, rarely encountering anything novel.

Recently, hearing that the youngest professor was coming, many people arrived early every day just to catch a glimpse of the real person.

”Did you hear? The youngest professor has arrived.”

”Did you see the real person?”

”No! Came once last time, initially thought it was a relative of Professor Gu’s, paid no mind, only knowing afterward that it was the legendary professor.”

”What’s the name?”

”I know, I know, heard Professor Gu call her Sheng An classmate.”
