NOVEL NEXT Chapter 633: You Will Come Back
"I know you will come back," Sheng Ning nodded firmly, "but I can't bear it; I worry; I'm scared..." Even though she knew he would be safe, her heart still ached.
"Xiao Ning, we are both comrades, and you must remember what a comrade's duty is," Xu Qigang said earnestly.
"I know I am a comrade, and I know what a comrade's duty is. But I am more aware that my husband is about to go to the most dangerous place." Sheng Ning clutched his sleeve, her eyes brimming with tears, "I will take care of our home; I will wait for your return; you must come back safe and sound."
Before she could voice her concerns, the woman he loved had already spoken them. No one could understand the emotion Xu Qigang felt at that moment, as he nodded slightly with his handsome yet cold face, his deep eyes silently gazing at her. He engraved every inch of her skin, every expression in his heart.
"Xiao Ning, thank you for waiting for me. Please tell my parents that I'm leaving!" Xu Qigang took a step back, gave her one last deep look, and then resolutely turned and got into the jeep to leave.
The sound of the jeep's engine roared as it left, and Sheng Ning stood at the roadside, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.
He had only been gone a second, and she already missed him terribly—his appearance, his embrace, his silent, gentle dominance.
When the people in the room noticed that Xu Qigang had been out for a while and heard the sound of a car leaving, they all ran out to see what was happening. They came out only to find Sheng Ning standing dumbly at the door.
"What's the matter, Ningning? Where is Qigang?"
"Right! Didn't he just come out?"
Sheng Ning stood there dumbstruck without responding; An'an gently patted her shoulder, "Sister, snap out of it. What are you thinking about?"
"It's nothing!" Sheng Ning returned despondently and said to Shen Luhua, "Mom, I think I'll go home now. Granny is at home alone; I'd better keep her company!"
Everyone was startled, clearly noticing that something was off with her mood.
"What are you talking about, child?" Sheng Laosan couldn't help but chide, "This is your third day visiting home as a married woman. How can you leave without having lunch?"
"Where is Qigang? Where is Qigang?" Mr. Su didn't see Xu Qigang and also noticed her off mood, quickly realizing something was wrong.
"He's gone!" Sheng Ning said listlessly, "Someone just came by, saying there was an emergency assignment and he was taken away."
"What?" Everyone was stunned, "How long has it been? How could he leave without saying a word?"
"They said it was extremely urgent, so there was no delay." Sheng Ning didn't specify what the mission was. The rescue team had rules that she could be capricious in front of the Living Yama, but she would never show weakness in front of anyone else.
That would only make her seem unreasonable.
"This... this is too much!" Shen Luhua was immediately upset, no wonder Ningning was in a bad mood. Being sent on a mission on the third day of marriage would upset anyone.
"Mom! We are from the General Union; this is what we are supposed to do. I shouldn't be emotional," Sheng Ning took a deep breath, pushing down the tears welling up in her eyes, "Let's go in and cook!"
"You can go home if you want to!"
"Let's have dinner before I go back." If she stormed off now, it would worry everyone. "Anyway, it's not an important mission; he will be back soon!"
