She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1815: Chapter 1893: Breaking in at Midnight

”Ningning, divorce is not a small matter, and it’s not just your own business. I’ve already decided that if you really divorce Qigang, I’ll divorce Xu Xianxiong too. Then I’ll stay with you, you’re like my own daughter.”

”...”

Shen Luhua also chimed in, persuading, ”Your mother-in-law is right, and besides, I haven’t heard of Qigang making any mistakes. How exactly did he upset you?”

”No, really no.” It’s too awkward to discuss matters between a couple with elders. And considering what happened three days ago in the hospital room, the whole district probably knows now, and everyone smiles at her with a hint of ambiguity.

Everyone’s teasing about her and her husband’s reconciliation and asking her to treat them to a meal.

What else could she say? Talking about divorce at this point would seem too pretentious.

”There’s no talk of divorce!” Sheng Ning went with the flow, ”Where did you hear that gossip?”

”...” Had she prepared a hundred strategies to prevent the divorce for nothing?

”...” If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have come. The change in crop from soybeans delayed the spring planting and caused significant losses.

The two parents-in-law exchanged a glance, their expressions full of regret and frustration.

Sheng Ning stared wide-eyed at the two of them, looking bewildered.

Mom and mother-in-law seemed to find it a pity she wasn’t divorcing?

The arrival of Xu Sheng’s parents still caused quite a stir. The next day, Hai Yunfeng personally came to visit, as he had been wanting to properly thank Mr. Sheng but hadn’t found the time to get to Liyang County.

Su Huai’an, as the younger generation, also brought gifts personally, and Meng Xingzhi had already sent over the keys to the house in the compound.

The originally quiet villa area suddenly became lively, especially with the addition of two children. Even Meng Ping, who hadn’t shown up in a long time, came with many gifts for the two kids. He was quickly welcomed, and the two kids were delighted to see him, calling him Uncle Meng.

The most pleased of all was Xu Qigang. Previously, he hadn’t even been allowed entry into the villa, but he managed to move in through this opportunity. Although he’s still not allowed to sleep in the same room with Xiao Ning, that hardly dampened his enthusiasm.

Because he could sneak around at night.

At one in the morning, the entire villa area was quiet. A tall figure walked across the second floor without making a sound.

Sheng Ning’s room was near the stairs. The tall figure reached the door and tried to push it open, only to find it locked. He pulled out a piece of wire and easily opened the door in less than a minute.

After opening the door, he entered and closed it behind him.

Inside, only a dim wall lamp was lit, with its illumination range quite limited. Everything was a bit blurry, but for someone used to handling special dangerous tasks, it was just like daylight.

He could even hear the steady breathing.

Being familiar with the surroundings, he came over to the bed, where Sheng Ning was sleeping soundly. She had been tired during the day, having taken the two mischievous kids out for a spin, and had someone develop their photos.

Hence, she went to bed early and slept heavily, with many things lined up for tomorrow, including preparations for the hospital opening.

In her dreams, it felt like a giant shadow was covering her, and something seemed to be moving over her body.

Sheng Ning suddenly opened her eyes, finding the handsome face of someone close by in the dim light, and noticed the absence of clothing under the covers.

Xu Qigang was momentarily stunned when he saw her awake, feeling both guilty and shy. He awkwardly turned his gaze away, but after considering it, decided not to appear cowardly and met her gaze with a feigned boldness.
