She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1790: Chapter 1867: Falling in Love with Chocolate

”I remembered, wasn’t the Victoria Theater the dowry for Xiao Mei?” Wenyin said as she stepped forward and gave Sheng Ning a heavy pat, sending her stumbling.

”Good job! You sold your daughter well! I suggest you have more with Xu Zongdui.”

”Didn’t you previously say I was selling my daughter for glory?” Sheng Ning muttered softly.

”What did you say?” Wenyin raised her eyebrows.

Sheng Ning, eager to please, quickly changed her tune, ”Well, what I mean is that now with the implementation of the family planning policy, we’re rescue comrades and only allowed to have one child.”

”Oh!” Wenyin dragged out the tone, ”Wait... aren’t you going through a divorce with Xu Zongdui? Why are you still thinking about having children?”

Sheng Ning’s face immediately flushed red with embarrassment. ”When did I think about having children? What nonsense are you talking about? I’ve already separated from Xu Qigang; if it weren’t for his title, we’d be divorced already. I’ve even found a lawyer.”

”So, are you still insisting on the divorce?”

”Of course!” Sheng Ning said without hesitation, ”Our relationship was completely severed from the moment he held Qin Xue. I was triggered, normally I wouldn’t say an extra word about this.”

Even if she were to speak her mind, it wouldn’t be in front of Wenyin, but somehow it just came out when Wenyin casually asked.

While the two were talking inside, Xu Qigang’s hand, which was about to knock on the door, froze in midair. He stood at the door, lost in thought, his handsome face filled with anger.

Every word Xiao Ning said just now entered his ears without a word missed, each like a sharp sword piercing deeply into his heart. Xu Qigang felt even his breathing becoming uneven.

Throughout this period, he lived every moment in pain. His mind was filled with her image, and sleeping alone at night in the bed they once shared, her clear and pleasant voice echoed in his ears.

She called his name passionately.

Xu Qigang closed his eyes in pain, took a deep breath, and only then could he suppress the overwhelming bitterness and humiliation.

Saying those bold words in the union newspaper, making the entire Special Rescue Team a laughingstock, he never regretted it. Without her, nothing like face or dignity mattered.

But now, hearing her so heartlessly with his own ears, he couldn’t help but feel sad and wronged.

He had never thought much about Qin Xue, whether Qin Xue was male or female made no difference to him. She was just a comrade he’d once fought alongside on the battlefield, and he treated comrades accordingly.

He was wrong, he let Xiao Ning down. But in terms of emotions, he was never wrong, nor did he ever let Xiao Ning down.

”Zongdui, the president is urging us to attend the meeting! If we don’t leave now, it’s going to be over.” Chen Yingjie whispered, feeling anxious and confused, as Zongdui seemed like he was about to cry?

Sigh! Recently, Zongdui has been driven to madness by his sister-in-law.

”Let’s go!” Xu Qigang withdrew his hand, and in the end, didn’t knock on the door. He turned away with Chen Yingjie.

At the General Federation of Trade Unions Dance Troupe Practice Room, Sheng Ning mainly took charge of the dance group, acting as a professional teacher while the troupe also appointed her as an officer. Today was her first day at work, and after chatting with Wenying, they went to meet people together.

Lu Dabao, upon seeing her, couldn’t help but want to jump up, shouting quietly from the crowd, ”Sheng Ning, did you bring chocolate?” The chocolate Sheng Ning gave her last time was incredibly delicious. At first, she found it a bit bitter and was somewhat displeased, but then she thought it would be a waste not to eat something brought back from abroad. She forced herself to try it, and contrary to her expectations, it was delicious the more she ate.

She had already fallen in love with it.
