Captainās Office
Sheng Ning knew that there would definitely be a lot of people from the Hai and Shen families coming over today, so she went out early to Xu Qigangās office to pass the time.
She was just an outsider to these two families, so there was no need to get involved.
Both mom and Anāan are smart; she no longer needed to worry.
Xu Qigang took people to the mountains for field training, and she was really bored, so she went out for a stroll. She turned to the logistics department and found several married ladies each holding a copy of One Weekly.
The ladies were flustered when they saw her, as she was the captainās wife and held a higher position than them. But she was too young, and they seemed unsure how to address her.
"You all carry on, carry on." Sheng Ning also found it quite awkward, smiled, and turned to leave.
After she walked away, a chubby lady curiously asked, "Do you think the captainās wife is pregnant?"
The others turned to look at Sheng Ningās back. Whether a woman is pregnant can actually be seen from the way she walks and her waistline. The ladies had all been married and had children before.
At this moment, after a glance, they couldnāt help but nod.
"From this look, I reckon sheās probably pregnant."
"I think so too."
"Our captain is already thirty; others his age already have kids running around. He should have a child."
The chubby lady said, "This would be such great news! How come we havenāt heard about it?"
"Shh! We shouldnāt spread unconfirmed things; what if itās not true? That would just get the captain and everyone excited for nothing."
"True! We canāt be sure just by looking."
Sheng Ning left the logistics department, completely unaware of the gossip behind her. She exited the logistics department and right next to the Family Compound was the school, meant for the children of the family members.
There were only a kindergarten and an elementary school, not very large, with three substitute teachers. She heard all this from Xing Fang.
The weather at the end of May was pleasant, and Sheng Ning was standing outside the school, looking in, when she was suddenly wrapped in a hug.
"What are you looking at?" The manās deep voice was even more intoxicating than the fresh air.
"Iām looking at what our future kids would be like." Sheng Ning replied with a smile, resting her head willingly against Xu Qigangās chest, "Arenāt you afraid of being seen hugging me like this?"
Xu Qigangās handsome face showed a trace of unease, "Nobody can see us here!" he whispered, and after speaking, snuck a kiss.
Indeed, to avoid interrupting the studentsā regular classes, she chose a corner. Leaning against the wall, with an acacia tree to the left, and right ahead was the schoolās fence.
"Someone will be sleeping in the dorm tonight." Sheng Ning was gleeful, glad she didnāt have to struggle with aches or stay put in bed.
Xu Qigangās handsome face darkened, leaning close to her ear, "Just you wait. Iāll take back all these lost chances, double the amount."
"... Darling, Iām sorry."
"Donāt call me darling." He released her waist, helplessly held his forehead, "In the future, call me only in bed, not anytime else." Didnāt she know? Whenever she called him darling, he couldnāt control himself.
"Hahaha..." Sheng Ning laughed triumphantly, "Are you off work now?"
"No! I heard you were heading this way, so I snuck out to check on you." This was the first time the team captain led the sneak, and he was kind of embarrassed.
"Letās go take a walk."
