Chapter 208: Chapter 209: Who Flirts with Whom Chapter 208: Chapter 209: Who Flirts with Whom Taking leave was just an excuse; he had accumulated many years of unused vacation time. He didnât actually need to ask for leave.
So he hadnât come to reprimand her. Sheng Ning breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a bit disappointed.
She thought she was being a bit melodramatic. Initially, she was afraid he didnât like her, always worrying about it. Now that he had finally shown some affection, she started to hesitate.
Sheng Ning shook her head, throwing these emotions away.
The jeep driven by Qianjin suddenly came to a stop, and under the huge inertia, Sheng Ning was thrown forward. Xu Qigang reacted swiftly, his strong arms catching her waist to prevent her from hitting the windshield.
Once Xu Qigang held her, he just couldnât bear to let go.
Staring intently at the beautiful girl in his arms, he suddenly felt his mouth go dry and his whole body tense as steel.
Having such a beautiful wife that he couldnât marry home was truly the greatest torture for a man. He prided himself on not being lustful; he had been away for years and hadnât thought of finding a woman. But now, like a teenager, he almost couldnât control his bodyâs impulses.
Held in his arms, Sheng Ning stared at him, her head spinning, feeling a bit dazed.
Xu Qigangâs Adamâs apple moved up and down as he struggled to suppress his restlessness, his voice hoarse, âWife, where are you going?â
âto buy yarn!â
âKnit me a sweater, itâs cold during training every day.â In fact, he trained in a tank top even in the dead of winter.
âOkay!â Xu Qigangâs voice was usually deep and cool, but now it was slightly hoarse, the tone like a hook with an irresistibly charming allure.
Sheng Ning felt her mind go fuzzy.
âWife, when can you marry me?â
âWhat?â Sheng Ning suddenly woke up, realizing he had been calling her wife all along. Her face blushed, and she wanted to push him away in panic. But then she thought, this did not fit her character.
It was she who had flirted with him first; how had the roles reversed now?
âLet me kiss you first, then Iâll consider it.â Sheng Ningâs face was red as an apple, her eyes bright with anticipation.
Though Xu Qigangâs skin was not pale, it definitely wasnât dark. So when he heard Sheng Ningâs words, his handsome face turned incredibly unnatural.
His deep gaze swept over Sheng Ningâs delicate lips, imagining their sweet bliss, he almost wanted to tear her apart and gulp her down.
âNo!â As a professional battle hero, the king of the rescue world, his greatest pride was his powerful self-control.
For the sake of her purity and reputation, he couldnât take advantage of her before marriage.
âWhy?â Hearing such a direct rejection, Sheng Ningâs stubbornness flared. She actively wrapped her arms around his neck, speaking softly and coyly, âDo you think Iâm not pretty?â
âOf course not!â
âThen you donât like me?â
Having never confessed his feelings to anyone since he was young, this made Xu Qigang very uncomfortable. But thinking about the wife he nearly had slipping away, he declared with a determination to cut the Gordian knot, âI do!â
The infamous Living Yama, to one day willingly be won over by a girl. If the old president of the rescue world knew, he would be utterly shocked.
âThen why wonât you kiss me?â Women always like to ask for more, especially in front of the men they fancy.
