The two walked side by side, casually chatting about the events of the past few days. Xu Qigang was naturally reserved and wouldnāt say much on his own. Sheng Ning knew that even though he was silent, he understood everything better than if he had explained it.
"Xiao Ning, Iām about to be promoted." His tone carried a hint of joy, not because of the promotion itself, but because with the promotion, he could offer her one more assurance that she wouldnāt have to bow to anyone in the future.
Actually, Xu Qigang wasnāt someone who loved power; he initially just wanted to contribute to society.
"Thatās great!" Sheng Ning happily pumped her fists. "I know youāll definitely be amazing in the future." Compared to Su Jiang and Meng Xingzhi, they were far behind him.
But no matter whether he became a rescue expert in the future, he would always be her husband, the man she loved the most. So, although Sheng Ning was happy, she wasnāt overly ecstatic.
Because she loved him, everything else was insignificant. She loved him, this man who made her swoon.
Xu Qigangās eyes flashed with a hint of complex emotions, and he quietly tightened his hold on her hand.
"Howās Sheng Yue doing? Oh... I mean Qin Yue." She hadnāt planned on actually changing her nickname for the little hooligan to Sheng Yue, but this guy shamelessly insisted she change it to Sheng Yue, or else heād fall out with her.
Actually, Sheng Ning understood that the little hooliganās family would never truly allow him to cut ties and change his name.
"I think he seems quite sad, even more so than when Anāan was locked up." Sheng Ning thought about Qin Yueās expression yesterday and asked worriedly, "Why havenāt I seen him?"
"Heās gone back to school."
"Did he receive a blow?"
"Yes!" Xu Qigang nodded. "Anāan has changed a lot; he liked the old Anāan and finds it hard to accept right now."
"Indeed, the changes are significant, but Anāan is Anāan; from the beginning to the end, sheās the same person, thatās the truth."
"Itās okay, he just hasnāt come to terms with it yet, but he will understand in a few days." Xu Qigang comforted him, "Iām most familiar with the little hooligan, donāt worry."
"Oh!" The two strolled from the regiment to the family quarters, coincidentally seeing Principal Feng pacing at the door with the director of the education committee.
"Principal Feng, what brings you here?" Sheng Ning warmly greeted him. Principal Feng had been very helpful during the Anāan incident, and she meant to thank him properly, but hadnāt had the chance.
Principal Feng involuntarily stepped back a pace upon seeing Sheng Ning.
Initially, she intended to step forward, but seeing Principal Fengās actions, she stopped awkwardly in place.
Xu Qigang was aware of what was happening and whispered in her ear, "You lost your temper at school, so now your nickname is Black and White Impermanence."
She remembered that time she had threatened Sun Kai when he stubbornly refused to talk, to create an intimidating effect.
"Why such an unpleasant nickname?"
"Probably because of my nickname?"
Sheng Ning thought, Living Yama paired with Black and White Impermanence, they were a perfect match! "I like this nickname, itās really great!" she smiled, praising with a grin.
A faint smile appeared on someoneās lips.
