She Lives without Regret in This Life
Chapter 365 - 375: The Air is Sweet

Chapter 365: Chapter 375: The Air is Sweet

"Great! I’ll do my best to get promoted soon," she laughed. Ah, feeling trusted really is wonderful. She took a deep breath and even the air tasted sweet.

"There, there..." Xu Qigang was about to ruffle her hair.

Sheng Ning’s face embarrassingly reddened again, "Xu Qigang..."

"Hmm?"

"My roommate told me to warn you, ’Don’t pick the wildflowers by the roadside.’"

"..." Someone on the phone was silent for a long time, not until Sheng Ning’s heart couldn’t help but feel anxious did he say through gritted teeth, "Where did I go wrong to make you have the energy for such wild thoughts?"

"I won’t talk to you anymore!" Sheng Ning guiltily hung up the phone.

This was her man; she really shouldn’t be letting her thoughts run wild. He was mad now; she would have to cajole him properly next time.

On the way from the scene to the village, Su Hai was silent throughout. Su Yun watched the scenery outside the car window become more and more familiar until they entered the village and it merged with her memories, making her tears flow unchecked.

"Xiao Hai, it was here, your sister almost lost her life here." Thinking of the painful past, Su Hai covered her mouth and cried silently again.

"Do you know how hard it was back then, Xiao Hai? I’ve never cried so much in my life, never suffered so much. Every day I worked so hard I lost thirty pounds in a month."

Su Hai gently closed his eyes. He was too tired to voice any more blame, seeing his sister crying so sadly softened his heart, and he passed her a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

Everyone in the family had tried to stop her from going to the countryside as an educated youth. It was a mistake for someone raised in luxury to go there. But she wanted to threaten Meng Xingzhi; who could stop her if she was determined to go?

At the entrance of the village, Zhang Fang and Xu Laodi sat on a small stool, sewing the soles of shoes, and gossiping about other people’s affairs.

Originally, Xu Laodi and Zhang Fang didn’t get along, especially disliking Zhang Fang’s promiscuous ways. But ever since Qi Mei divorced her brother, she suddenly found Zhang Fang more agreeable.

Before, Xu Laodi and her elder sister-in-law frequently fought, and the elder sister-in-law would always sneakily keep treats for her own son, deliberately hiding them from Xu Laodi. Xu Laodi had long wanted to teach her a harsh lesson; she just hadn’t caught Qi Mei red-handed.

Just when Xu Laodi was seething with hatred, Zhang Fang surprisingly got together with her brother and even got them divorced.

Xu Laodi was smug; no one secretly hid the treats anymore.

"Laodi, where are the Sheng family?" Zhang Fang’s flirtatious eyes occasionally glanced toward Sheng Laosan’s house.

"Why are you always so interested in their family?" Xu Laodi casually asked.

"Cough cough..." Zhang Fang coughed guiltily, deliberately changing the subject, "I just want to learn a thing or two from An’an Bean Sprouts’ successful business!" But in reality, ever since she had seen Little Yama, she had been infatuated.

His physique was enough to make any woman lose herself. She caught a glimpse, and it left her feeling unbearably lonely in bed at night.

Unable to contain herself, even seeking relief with the village chief didn’t work. She used to be quite satisfied with the village chief’s performance in bed, much better than the President’s. But ever since she laid eyes on Little Yama, she felt as though myriads of ants were crawling inside her, leaving her empty and lonely every time.

It drove her mad with jealousy knowing that Sheng Ning was going to marry such a fantastic man.

Xu Laodi sneered, "I think you’ve got spring fever, huh? Don’t think I don’t know you’ve been snooping around the neighboring village for days on end, asking about Little Yama."
