Chapter 1759: Chapter 1836: You Are the Most Important
Today, Qiao Zhe was so overwhelmed by one thing after another that he was almost scared silly; he didn’t even know how he managed to walk out of the villa’s door in the end. Even when standing on the steps outside the door, he was still a bit shorter than Xu Qigang.
The man in front of him had a blank expression, his eyes as deep as the ocean, making it impossible to see the bottom. Even though he was so awkwardly turned away at the door, his presence was still imposing.
Qiao Zhe secretly regretted that the Feng Family Master and Xu Zongdui were actually quite a match.
Suddenly, a cold gun was pressed against Qiao Zhe’s temple, and a young comrade beside Xu Zongdui looked at him murderously, questioning, "Who are you? I’ve long found you an eyesore. Our Zongdui is still standing outside, and you dare to go in. Are you tired of living?"
At twenty-five, Qiao Zhe finally understood what a true ruffian was.
"Chen Yingjie, put down the gun." Xu Qigang yelled sternly. Chen Yingjie reluctantly put the gun away, still threatening Qiao Zhe, "Aren’t you leaving? Looking for death?"
"I’m sorry!"
After the pale face left, Chen Yingjie stayed idly guarding Xu Qigang, unwilling to leave. The Zongdui still didn’t want to eat lunch, and it was unknown how much longer he could hold out.
The entire journey back from Country S was filled with intense battles, and everyone’s nerves were kept on high alert. Now that they were back, they should be resting and relaxing.
The Zongdui, like this, it was uncertain how long he could endure. He really wanted to knock the Zongdui unconscious and carry him back, but he didn’t dare.
Xu Qigang stared straight ahead, suddenly sensing something, and looked up sharply, instantly seeing Sheng Ning standing at the window upstairs. His stiff lips moved slightly, and with a husky voice, he said, "Xiao Ning."
Sheng Ning’s heart ached severely. She instinctively clutched her chest; she didn’t want to look at him, but couldn’t tear her eyes away.
"Xiao Ning, I was wrong." Xu Qigang gazed at her foolishly, "Does it still hurt? Will you come down, please?"
Acting as if possessed, when Sheng Ning found herself standing in front of Xu Qigang, she didn’t even realize how she got down there. One was standing on the ground and the other on the doorstep steps, separated by no more than a meter but it felt like thousands of miles.
Back then, even when separated by the entire Pacific Ocean, Xu Qigang wasn’t this panicked.
He suddenly pulled her tightly into his arms, his strong arms squeezing her slender waist so hard that she frowned and groaned in pain, but he couldn’t hear it at all. His whole heart was immersed in panic.
The cataclysmic flood, more painful than killing him, because he feared losing her, something he had never felt so intensely before.
"Xiao Ning, I’m sorry, I’m really sorry." He wasn’t good with sweet talk, and here, no amount of sweet talk would suffice. "Xiao Ning, please don’t be mad, okay? I already know I was wrong, I’m just a bastard."
"No, you are a hero, a real hero." Clearly, what he did was something she always admired, but why did it still hurt? Was it because she finally realized her love for him was a kind of sickness?
She wasn’t that magnanimous, she was just a petty little woman. She would get jealous, be clingy, throw little tantrums. But these things, she had smothered them all due to her sickly love and the responsibility to the rescue comrades.
It’s not too late to wake up to this realization.
"No, I’m not. I’m just a bastard, worse than Qin Yue, more shameless than Meng Ping, really, you must believe me." He held her, his handsome face buried in her warm and delicate neck, even the urgent breaths he exhaled carried a familiar thrill.
"Please don’t be mad at me, okay? I’ve lost everything, I can’t lose you too."
"No, you have a lot. The leaders who admire you, your passionate teammates, your beloved rescue team." Sheng Ning let him hold her, not making a sound even when his arms around her waist hurt.
"None of that matters; none of it is as important as you."
