Chapter 257: Chapter 262: You Are Mine

Little fat man didn’t care about this; what his second elder brother desired, he always managed to obtain. The only problem was… if it involved the people of Living Yama, then trouble was big.

Should he advise his second brother? What if one day he got seriously injured?

Upon coming out from Old Street, Lu Dabao, who had restrained a bellyful of words, fired away a series of questions.

Such as whose bracelet was it really? This Qin Cuifen looks different from usual, how dare you provoke Meng Ping, that Demon Lord of Mayhem? And so on…

In the end, he was brushed off by Chen Huaying with a single remark.

“Just asking if the show was good?”

“If it’s good, that’s all that matters, why care about so much!”

It wasn’t until they entered the General Union’s gate that Lu Dabao realized, “Wait! We went to the noodle shop, how come we didn’t eat noodles?”

Chen Huaying stumbled, almost falling.

Another weirdo, what kind of people are those around her?

Sheng Ning, Liu Yilan, Wu Youli, and Zhang Hongmei had just entered the General Union’s gate when the old man at the reception desk stopped them.

“Come over here, Comrade!” The old man, wearing a thick coat, gestured warmly.

Sheng Ning pointed at herself, still somewhat unaccustomed.

“It’s you, you have a telephone call, it’s been called several times!”

“I’ll go take the call, you guys go back to the dorm first.” Sheng Ning greeted the three and went into the reception room to answer the phone.

The old man said cheerily, “The person on the other end said they’ll call back in half an hour. Wait a little longer, I’ll go out for a patrol.”

“Alright!” Sheng Ning nodded, sat obediently on the chair, and stared intently at the telephone.

She had already guessed who would be calling – her parents had never used a phone, always writing letters instead.

It couldn’t be anyone other than Xu Qigang.

“Ding-a-ling…” The phone on the desk rang quickly, Sheng Ning’s eyes lit up, and she hurriedly picked up. It was supposed to be half an hour, but she didn’t expect the call to come so soon.

“Hello!” Her voice trembled slightly.

There was a silence on the other end for about three seconds, then Xu Qigang’s deep, pleasant voice came through. “I’m currently in my hometown, and I visited your house yesterday.”

Sheng Ning was so startled by his sudden words that her heart trembled, and before she could speak, Xu Qigang continued bluntly.

“I met your future father-in-law and mother-in-law.”

Sheng Ning’s face flushed immediately, her originally pale face now blushing as radiant as a splendid sunset, looking exceptionally delicate and beautiful.

“When did you go back? Why did you go back?” Sheng Ning was shocked by the news.

“I went back right after we separated last time!”

“Your leader approved your leave?”

Xu Qigang’s deep laugh resonated through the phone – this girl, usually so bold that it left him helpless, now surprisingly showed a shy side.

“Comrade Sheng Ning, your attempt to change the topic is futile.” Xu Qigang was precise as always in his actions and words.

“Uh…” Sheng Ning felt a contradiction within herself and after secretly despising herself, took a deep breath to prevent her embarrassment and blushing from being so useless.

“So, did you propose marriage? I guess my parents definitely wouldn’t agree.” She hadn’t replied to the letter from home yet!

“They agreed to our marriage!”

“No way?”

“Ha ha ha…” Xu Qigang’s deep resonant laughter came through the phone again. “Really!” After a pause, he added solemnly, “Xiao Ning, you are my woman!”
