Chapter 276: Chapter 281: Two Mothers
She was still a virgin, yet he had done so many bold and presumptuous things to her.
“Remember, you’re my woman.” Xu Qigang spoke each word deliberately as if making a vow, “Even if I die, I won’t let you marry another man.” No matter who the rival was, he was ready to fight to the death.
Sheng Ning smiled with hooked lips, like a seductive little fox.
She knew she was right to take the initiative; otherwise, how could she have forced the Living Yama to fight desperately? If not for this, he might still be aloof, keeping everyone at arm’s length!
“I’ll take you back!” Without further explanation, Xu Qigang picked her up, carried her to the backseat, then went around to the front to start the car.
On the way back, Xu Qigang said, “Don’t be so bold in the future!”
Sheng Ning realized he was somewhat angry. Given the traditional thinking of the ’80s, performing such a fiery kiss in the street was indeed hard to accept.
To put it bluntly, flaunting affection wasn’t trendy in the ’80s! Even if a couple’s relationship was good, it was only behind closed doors. In public, even if they were close, it wasn’t supposed to show.
The most intimate act between couples was holding hands, and even that had to be done sneakily. Otherwise, people would talk behind your back.
“It was you who couldn’t control yourself!” Sheng Ning clearly appreciated his intentions, yet stubbornly argued.
Xu Qigang straightforwardly admitted, “That’s right!” He glanced at her through the rearview mirror, and his fiery gaze made Sheng Ning feel as if all her clothes had been stripped off.
This man… so serious and formal, yet his eyes were so blatant…
It was really hard not to love him!
It was a half-hour journey, but Xu Qigang drove to the General Union’s gate in just twenty minutes, and the comrades on guard greeted the jeep.
Xu Qigang didn’t drive in but took a document bag from inside his coat and handed it to Sheng Ning. “This is a letter your father-in-law asked me to bring you!”
“Thank you!” Sheng Ning took it.
“Being silly again! I’m your man, why say thanks?” Xu Qigang looked displeased.
Sheng Ning felt as if she was entirely possessed by him. “Understood! Leader!”
Xu Qigang nodded in satisfaction, then got out of the car first to take out things from the trunk that the Sheng family was sending, and handed them to Sheng Ning.
“Why so much?” Sheng Ning was surprised at the numerous large and small packages. Did her parents plan for winter? It seemed like everything eatable at home was brought here!
“Some of it is prepared by your family, and some by my mom!”
“Ah… Aunt prepared this?” Sheng Ning got nervous and started to stutter when she heard it was prepared by his mother.
In her past life, she had virtually no luck with elders. The most profound impression was left by Su Yun, that sharply arrogant and superior lady.
Since then, she dreaded dealing with middle-aged women.
Xu Qigang’s mother would be her mother-in-law in the future. Thinking about this, her heart felt like it was tossing and turning like fifteen buckets hanging by a single rope.
Mother-in-laws and daughters-in-law are always natural enemies, she had seen plenty of bad in-law relationships in the countryside!
The most famous was Second Aunt Qin, who was unrivaled in scolding throughout the village, having fought with her mother-in-law her whole life.
“That is your mother!” Xu Qigang corrected.
“Mother?” The different designation made her eyes brighten, and it seemed to lessen her aversion considerably.
Mother… that word was truly wonderful to her. She had never had a mother, and later on, she had someone who was even better than a real mother, but, blinded by a fog, she had not cherished her, nor had she repaid her nurturing kindness.
