She Lives without Regret in This Life-Chapter 106 - : You Don’t Have This Chance Anymore
Chapter 106: Chapter 106: You Don’t Have This Chance Anymore
“Oh! So you’re also in love with our Captain, too bad you don’t stand a chance,” the comrades unanimously cut off Qin Cuifen’s following words, thinking they had understood her meaning.
“Since that’s the case, then we have misunderstood you.”
Now Qin Cuifen was on the verge of tears; she had her eyes set on Shen Jianguo, especially after noticing his illustrious family background. Although Xu Qigang was exceptional, his humble origins were a turn-off for her; she had no interest in him!
“No, that’s not it, that’s not…” Qin Cuifen truly found herself at a loss for words. She dared not say she didn’t like Xu Qigang, fearing she would offend the entire War Wolf Rescue Team.
By not speaking up, the burden of this reputation would make it even harder for her to marry Shen Jianguo in the future.
“Sheng Ning, say something!” Qin Cuifen’s eyes darted around, trying to shift the focus onto Sheng Ning, and loudly said, “We’ve grown up together since we were kids…”
...
“Sorry, we’re not close.” Sheng Ning coldly interrupted her, carrying her meal tray as she walked past Liu Chun and found a place to sit, completely ignoring the stares and the buzzing of gossip.
Liu Chun scratched his head; had he inadvertently done something foolish to upset his sister-in-law?
“Sister-in-law…” Liu Chun called out again with a pitiable look.
Now the spectators couldn’t stay put; driven by curiosity, they crowded around Liu Chun, teasingly asked, “Liu Chun, whose wife are you calling ‘sister-in-law’?”

Liu Chun immediately bristled at the question, shooting the other person a look, “Of course, it’s the Captain’s wife.”
“That’s great, sister-in-law, it’s a pleasure to meet you.” The other person eagerly greeted Sheng Ning, and in less than a minute, the space around Sheng Ning was packed to the brim.
“I’m not, I really am not!” Sheng Ning laughed awkwardly,
“Sister-in-law, there’s no need to be shy.”
“Exactly, sister-in-law, we’ve all been looking forward to meeting you!”
“Sister-in-law, do you have any younger sisters at home?”
Their words were fast and furious, almost spiraling out of control. Sheng Ning grabbed Liu Chun in one swift motion, “Explain exactly what is going on.” She pinched his arm forcefully under the table, causing Liu Chun to grimace in pain, and he quickly corrected himself, “She’s a future wife, not a current one.”
Finally, Sheng Ning learned what it meant to dig oneself deeper; having triggered such a huge mess, what would she do if Xu Qigang asked about it?
Would he dislike her even more for seizing an opportunity to climb up to him?
At this thought, Sheng Ning’s heart clenched in pain, and her eyes reddened.
Onlookers, with their sharp eyes, saw that they had caused the young woman to cry and felt somewhat bad about it. Moreover, it was mealtime, so they quickly dispersed.

What happened in the cafeteria spread like a whirlwind through the War Wolf Rescue Team, and within less than an hour, as Sheng Ning walked outside, she noticed the gazes on her multiplying.
There were looks of bewilderment, envy, surprise, but mostly eager expressions from the rescue team.
Sheng Ning had a strange feeling, as if Xu Qigang had always been unwanted, and now someone had finally taken him on.
“Sheng Ning, is what they’re saying true?” Wu Youli, with her keen intuition, walked beside Sheng Ning and asked softly.
She had always felt that Sheng Ning’s relationship with the Living Yama was out of the ordinary, otherwise, he wouldn’t have personally taken her to the infirmary on her first day.
A hint of sluggishness appeared on Sheng Ning’s face.
“If you’re married, that’s one thing, but if you’re not, remember you can’t be involved with anyone before your promotion,” Wu Youli gently reminded in a soft voice.
“I know.” Sheng Ning sighed; she would certainly keep her feelings to herself from now on.
