Chapter 824: Shen Rongyin’s Solicitousness
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Although she didn’t want this woman to have anything to do with her father, Chi Shuyan was still really curious about what she was hiding. She feigned innocence and curiosity. “Aunt Shen, you’re so young and beautiful! Are you really an aunt? I thought you were my age?”
Shen Rongyin was used to being praised, and she smiled gently. “Yan Yan, if you need anything in the future, you can look for me.” Then, her eyes fell on Chi Lingyan in front of her, and she said earnestly, “Brother Chi, I’m really sorry about today! I’ll send you and Yan Yan out!”
Chi Lingyan nodded at Shen Rongyin and bade farewell to Commissar Shen and Mother Shen.
Mother Shen was still indignant. “Rongyin, don’t you want Captain Chi to stay for lunch? Didn’t you want…”
Shen Rongyin interrupted Mother Shen. “Mom, is this how you entertain guests? Forget it, I’ll send Brother Chi and Yan Yan out first.”
Chi Lingyan also felt that it would indeed be awkward to remain here now, especially if he had to suffer. He didn’t want his daughter to suffer with him.
He immediately got up, said a few words to Commissar Shen, and took Chi Shuyan out.
Commissar Shen was quite amiable. Whether it was Chi Lingyan or his daughter, he invited them to come back whenever they were free in the future. After they left, he said to Mother Shen, “Let the children worry about their own affairs in the future. Don’t meddle too much! I think Rongyin is doing fine!”
Fortunately, his daughter was sensible.
Mother Shen’s face was very unsightly and puzzled, mainly because her daughter’s att.i.tude today was completely different from last night. Last night, when Mother Shen mentioned Chi Lingyan and vaguely said that she would invite him over, Rongyin didn’t object, right? She even shyly expressed that she liked Chi Lingyan!
Why did she suddenly object today?
Mother Shen didn’t think much of it. She was more angry over how this man surnamed Chi didn’t know what was good for him. In particular, she didn’t have the slightest favorable impression of Chi Lingyan’s daughter now.
Besides, as a mother, how could she not worry about her own daughter? Mother Shen couldn’t help but scold Father Shen. “I love my daughter, I’ll worry about her myself! If you don’t want to worry in the future, fine!”
Outside, Shen Rongyin’s expression was as gentle and good-natured as ever. Because she was very popular in the military, as soon as she appeared, many people subconsciously looked at her. In addition, Chi Lingyan was quite famous in the military. When the two stood together, many people cast gossipy and curious gazes at them.
Chi Lingyan acted like he didn’t see them at all. He had always felt that a woman’s reputation was quite important. Since he didn’t plan to marry her, he naturally didn’t want to affect her reputation. It was fine for Shen Rongyin to see them off here.
“Wait, Brother Chi!” Shen Rongyin suddenly said. Chi Lingyan and Chi Shuyan paused. Shen Rongyin said very sincerely, “Brother Chi, my mother has always been overbearing. She accidentally found out that I like you.”
After that, she made a sound, as if she had just realized Chi Shuyan was present, and she immediately stopped to say, “No matter what, my mother’s actions today made you and Yan Yan suffer. Although I’ve already apologized just now, I still feel bad. I’m really sorry, Brother Chi. If my mother does anything in the future, just ignore it!”
What happened earlier had nothing to do with Shen Rongyin, and Chi Lingyan wasn’t a man who would take his anger out on women either. However, he still had a bit of a grudge against Madam Shen for making his daughter suffer.. He said indifferently, “Madam Shen also has good intentions. It’s just that I, Chi Lingyan, can’t accept them!”
