She Lives without Regret in This Life-Chapter 864 - 905: First Clash

"Sis, you go peel an apple for brother-in-law, I’ll pour the water." Sheng An nodded at Song Huwen, turned around to pour water, and pretended to quietly say to Sheng Ning as he passed by, "Sis, you better be on guard. This woman is here to steal brother-in-law from you."

Although he spoke quietly, everyone in the room could hear him.

Hai Shen nearly choked on his water out of embarrassment on the spot. Little girl, you’re way too straightforward!

Song Huwen’s face immediately turned the color of liver, looking at Xu Qigang with grievance, "Captain Xu, I came to see you just to express my gratitude for saving my life. I really don’t mean anything else."

"When did I ever save you?" Xu Qigang was utterly confused. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Sheng Ning pressed her lips together, trying her best not to laugh out loud.

"Ahem..." Hai Shen coughed, seeing his cousin in an awkward situation and had to offer her a way out, "Captain Xu, don’t you remember? That year, during the floods, when you were in the South for earthquake relief, you saved a female high school student."

"Oh..." Xu Qigang nodded in sudden realization, "I didn’t remember." He’d have to be an idiot to say he remembered. He had just coaxed his little wife to calm down, and without some perceptiveness now, how could he lead the entire War Wolf Rescue Team?

Song Huwen’s tears fell down with a plop, "It’s okay, Captain Xu, it’s okay if you don’t remember, Huwen has always remembered it! I won’t ever forget it in this lifetime."

Zhao Lanzi’s eyes scrutinized everyone in the room without pause, and when they landed on Song Huwen, there was a hint of dissatisfaction. This woman really was called out by the sister-in-law; she’s here to steal from her daughter-in-law! She’s got some nerve, isn’t she afraid it’ll blow up in her face?

Song Huwen quietly wiped away her tears and forced a cautious smile, "Captain Xu, I’ll introduce myself today, I’m Song Huwen, a nurse at Ba Yi General Hospital, so you can remember me next time."

"Why do you want my brother-in-law to remember you?" Sheng An was displeased upon hearing this, got up, folded his arms, and stood in front of Song Huwen. Though young, both her height and demeanor could overshadow Song Huwen.

"Are you married?"

Song Huwen’s hand, placed at her side, quietly clenched, "Why are you asking me this?"

"To warn you! My brother-in-law is a married man. If you are unmarried, you’d better keep your distance from him, otherwise you’d just be a shameless homewrecker."

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Song Huwen, already holding back her patience, turned livid at being accused right under her nose. If not for the self-restraint she cultivated growing up, she might have lost her composure already.

"If you’re married, you should consider your husband’s face, right? In our village, only widows would be as indiscreet as you." Finished speaking, she patted Hai Shen’s shoulder like an elder and said knowingly, "Big brother, is she your wife? If so, you better keep an eye on her, or you won’t know when you get cheated on."

"...No, no, absolutely not." Hai Shen hurriedly waved his hand, "I’m her cousin." Damn, why does he feel like he’s been cheated on?

"Oh! Then you’d better play a supervisory role."

"Yes, yes, it’s my fault. I’ll be sure to keep a closer watch next time..." Hai Shen apologized instinctively, only realizing afterward. Why did he need to apologize? He didn’t do anything wrong. Even as a cousin, there’s no blood relation at all.

Song Huwen gave a once-over look, her speed in regaining composure left Sheng Ning speechless.
