Upon hearing it was true, Sheng Ning’s face turned pale. Now was a critical moment, and she couldn’t afford to be absent, or else she’d be in big trouble.
"If you can’t make it, it will greatly affect your assessment," Qigang said, a hint of laughter in his eyes. He looked around, pondered for a moment, and then said, "How about this! I’ll take you there."
"That’s great!" Sheng Ning was so excited she was about to hug Qigang, but he preemptively extended his hand to stop her.
The height difference between them made it easy for him to just reach out his hand and block her by pressing down on her head.
Sheng Ning tried to move forward several times but couldn’t budge an inch. She threatened, "Living Yama, let go!"
"No way!" Qigang lowered his voice. "Don’t tug and pull in public."
"Living Yama!" Sheng Ning continued to threaten, "Let me go, or I’ll hold a grudge."
"How would you hold a grudge?"
"You... I... I don’t like you anymore!" Sheng Ning was infuriated by him. Even though they wouldn’t see each other for over a month, he still wouldn’t let her hug him.
A hint of gloom passed over Qigang’s handsome face. He changed his blocking to pulling her forward, directly dragging her into his arms.
Someone instantly smiled like a little cat that stole some fish.
"Never say that again," Qigang said with great strength, wishing he could merge her into his body. He put his chin on top of her head and muttered, "If you dare say that again, I won’t let it go so easily."
"What will you do?" Sheng Ning looked up at him with sparkling eyes.
Qigang, watched by her, subconsciously swallowed. He felt his body involuntarily tense up. This little woman really knew how to torment someone.
"I’ll help you catch up." Saying that, he pulled her towards the jeep.
Today Qigang was driving the jeep from his team again, and just as they got in the jeep, a person from the General Union appeared.
"Captain Xu, Captain Xu!" Xiao Tao ran over breathlessly.
"What’s the matter?" Qigang asked, frowning as he got out of the driver’s seat.
"The President wants you to come to the General Union."
Qigang turned to look at Sheng Ning, and she also put away her smile, looking serious. He hesitated for a few seconds, then, pressing his lips together, said, "I need to drop someone off first; can I go straight there afterward?"
"Uh..." Xiao Tao was stunned, obviously encountering this situation for the first time.
"Is it your wife you’re dropping off?" Xiao Tao asked curiously.
"Yes!" Qigang nodded seriously.
"Okay then! I’ll go back and tell the President first, and you can come after."
The President had long hoped that Living Yama would get married soon. Knowing it was to drop off his wife, he would understand even if he was late. Besides, even if Living Yama was really late because of something else, the President would understand. From what he knew, Living Yama was very punctual, with strong principles, never having been late before.
Clearly, he cared a lot about his wife.
Xiao Tao sneakily peered into the jeep and initially only knew there was a woman inside. But upon seeing who it was, he was shocked, "Is it Comrade Sheng Ning?"
Sheng Ning hurriedly got out of the jeep and greeted Xiao Tao.
"Hello!" Strange, she wasn’t familiar with this person at all! The last time she saw him was following behind the President.
She had heard he was a favorite in the General Union, but how did he know her?
"Hello! Then, Captain Xu will first take Comrade Sheng Ning, and I’ll go tell the President."
Xiao Tao hurried back to the General Union just as Shen Feihu finished up his work and was on the phone with the Dean of the Research Institute.
