She Lives without Regret in This Life-Chapter 466 - 478: Sending the Wife Away

Shen Feihu secretly touched his eyes, realizing they had moistened without him noticing. "Since you agree, then arrange it. I’ll have Xu Qigang take people there tomorrow."

"Alright! Old Shen, on behalf of all comrades and combatants at the Research Institute, I thank you! Thank you for your selfless aid." The risk associated with this mission was immense. He had sent twenty people this time, knowing at least half of them would not return alive to the embrace of their motherland.

For him, as the head of the institute, it was an indescribable blow.

With Living Yama’s training and guidance, their survival rate could increase by at least one-third. To them, he was a true benefactor.

"You owe me one; you’ll have to pay it back later," Shen Feihu said briskly before hanging up the phone and sitting silently behind his desk.

Xiao Tao stood hesitantly at the door, unsure whether to enter.

He knew that the President had been under great pressure lately and was feeling distressed. His only son was about to embark on a perilous assignment, and naturally, as a father, he did not want him to go.

But as the President, he had no choice but to personally see his son off.

Shen Jianguo turned his head and saw Xiao Tao at the door. He hurriedly wiped his eyes and forcefully cleared his throat, calling out, "Xiao Tao, what are you doing standing there like an idiot?"

"Reporting to the President!" Xiao Tao hurried in.

"Where is the Living Yama? Didn’t I ask you to summon him to see me?" Shen Feihu noticed Xiao Tao had returned alone and asked with a frown.

"Reporting to the President, Captain Xu was just on his way to catch up with his wife to the General Union Song and Dance Troupe, so he asked for a little time off before coming over."

"His wife? Is she Sheng Ning from the General Union Song and Dance Troupe?"

"That’s right!"

"That kid, who would have guessed he’s actually the type to dote on his wife. It’s fine, tell him he doesn’t need to come today, let him come find me tomorrow."

Xiao Tao’s mouth twitched; so it is! Was the President implying that Captain Xu should not return home tonight?

"Yes!"

This time, sending Sheng Ning to catch up with the main troupe was the first time Xu Qigang had failed to report to the President immediately due to personal matters.

All the way, he drove at breakneck speed, causing Sheng Ning to grip the armrest beside her seat tightly.

"Living Yama, isn’t it bad to keep the President waiting? What if he blames you?" Sheng Ning thought about how the President had personally sent someone to call for him, and he hadn’t shown up, which made her feel a bit uneasy.

"It’s nothing!" Xu Qigang brushed off the concern. He certainly didn’t want to frighten his little wife. It wasn’t a time for emergency rescue, and when he had left, he had taken leave.

Besides, if the President knew he was off to see his wife, he would probably wish for him to spend the night out and return the next day.

Sheng Ning’s heart was sweet as if she had drunk honey – she knew this guy was actually worried about her, which was why he insisted on seeing her off.

"Darling, thank you!" Sheng Ning leaned in and boldly kissed Xu Qigang on the face.

The man who was focused on driving suddenly slammed on the brakes. Sheng Ning’s body lurched forward uncontrollably, but Xu Qigang was quick to react and swiftly pulled her in. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Sheng Ning ended up flinging herself onto Xu Qigang without control.

This was... embarrassingly awkward, unimaginable. Would he think she did it on purpose? Should she explain? No, no, no... better to calm down first.

This was mortifying!

Xu Qigang’s face had reddened to the point where even his best efforts to maintain a stern expression could not hide it.

He felt that every time he saw her, he acted like a lecher, which was completely at odds with his usual restraint, aloofness, and introversion.
