Chen Yun said, "I served as the commander of the Northern Frontier for a period of time before, but I retired many years ago and have been unemployed for many years now."
Although Chen Yun spoke of it casually.
But Song Yanran, Shu Xinyuan, and Xu Yuehua were still stunned.
Commander of the North!
That's the commander of the Northern Theater!
What majesty, what glory!
In Shu Xinyuan and Xu Yuehua's eyes, Chen Yun was not only their son-in-law, but also their half-son.
The couple were both excited and proud of Chen Yun.
Shu Xinyuan repeatedly said, "Good boy, amazing, amazing indeed!"
Xu Yuehua said, "You're a good child in every way, but you're too low-key. You never mention such an important honor to your parents."
Chen Yun smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, it's not that I intentionally hid it from you, but there are regulations for retiring from the military, and my status is rather special. Under normal circumstances, it's not appropriate to talk about my previous status and work content, as that would violate the regulations."
"It's just that something like this happened today, and General Huang Yaolong is here too."
"If you ask, I will tell you, but it's best you keep it to yourself and don't tell outsiders, lest someone with ulterior motives use it to make a fuss."
Mr. and Mrs. Shu nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, your parents won't brag about it or tell outsiders."
Song Yanran's face was covered in tears.
In fact, Chen Yun didn't need to admit it. Judging from Huang Yaolong's words and attitude towards Chen Yun just now, she could basically confirm that her nephew must have achieved amazing success in the army and even served as the commander of the northern border.
Hearing Chen Yun admit it himself, she couldn't help but shed tears.
Chen Yun hurriedly asked, "Auntie, what's wrong?"
Song Yanran took out her handkerchief, wiped away her tears, and said with a soft laugh, "Chen Yun, Auntie is fine. Auntie is just happy."
"I was just thinking about my sister who had such a tragic fate."
"If she were still alive, she would be so happy to know about your achievements!"
Chen Yun said, "I will be returning to the capital in a while to settle accounts with the Chen family, pay respects to my mother, and hold my wedding with Tang Yin. Aunt, you can come back to the capital with me then!"
Song Yanran readily agreed: "Okay, remember to invite me when you go back to the capital to pay respects to your mother, and of course, you must invite me to your wedding as well."
Chen Yun smiled and said, "Yes!"
Shu Tangyin said, "Auntie, I can tell the Song family doesn't like you, and you're not happy in Yuzhou either. Why don't you transfer this flower shop and come live with us in Zhonghai?"
Chen Yun's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Yes, Tang Yin is right."
Song Yanran waved her hand: "I can visit you when I have time, but I'd rather move here than live in your place. After all, this is my hometown where I grew up, and I'd miss it."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yun and Shu Tangyin had no choice but to let her have her way and changed the subject to talk about other things, starting with the past of Chen Yun's mother.
Shu Lingyue remained silent throughout, simply sitting quietly to the side and listening.
Her beautiful eyes never left Chen Yun's handsome profile.
Although she was right next to Chen Yun, she could feel him drifting further and further away.
She used to think that she was just as good as Shu Tangyin in every way.
I thought I could snatch Chen Yun away from Shu Tangyin, just like when we were kids fighting over toys.
But gradually, she found that this possibility was becoming increasingly slim.
Shu Tangyin remained as gentle as ever towards Chen Yun.
In Chen Yun's heart, there was only ever Shu Tangyin.
Chen Yun's heart seemed to be completely filled with Shu Tangyin, leaving no room for any other woman.
Shu Lingyue finally experienced the bitterness of unrequited love.
Previously, no one knew the secret that Chen Yun was the God of War of the North.
Only she knew.
She was secretly overjoyed and felt proud and happy about it for a long time.
She felt this was a secret between her and Chen Yun!
However, now everyone knows Chen Yun's secret identity.
Her pride in keeping Chen Yun's secret vanished completely.
In particular, when Chen Yun publicly admitted that he was the God of War of the Northern Frontier, she noticed that Shu Tangyin's expression did not show much surprise, but rather pride in Chen Yun.
She then realized that Shu Tangyin must have known about Chen Yun's secret as the God of War of the Northern Frontier for a long time.
This made her even more disappointed!
At this moment, watching Chen Yun and Shu Tangyin discuss returning to the capital to pay respects to Chen's mother and to hold their wedding.
She couldn't help but think to herself: In this life, I'm afraid I'm destined never to kiss the man I love, and I'm also destined never to marry the man I love.
The sun is setting.
A ray of sunlight shone through the shop window and fell on Song Yanran's face.
Song Yanran was surprised to find that she had been chatting with Chen Yun and the others for quite some time.
Just then.
Laifu's stomach rumbled a few times.
Everyone present could hear it clearly.
Lai Fu's face turned bright red instantly!
Song Yanran quickly apologized, "Are you all hungry? It's all my fault. I was chatting with Chen Yun and forgot that you haven't eaten yet!"
"Come on, I'll take you to eat."
"Our Yuzhou is most famous for its hot pot. I'll take you to Jue Shu Xia Hot Pot Restaurant to try it. It's a long-established hot pot restaurant that locals love, but outsiders don't know about it."
Chen Yun smiled and said, "Okay!"
Song Yanran led Chen Yun and his group to a hot pot restaurant located under a century-old banyan tree nearby.
This hot pot restaurant looks like it's been around for a while; the decor is a bit dated.
But under the banyan tree in front of the gate, all kinds of luxury cars are parked. BBA cars are everywhere, as are Rolls-Royces and Bentleys, and there are even a few supercars worth a lot of money.
Moreover, judging from the license plates, they are mostly from Chongqing.
It seems Song Yanran was right; most of the people eating here are locals.
Chen Yun and his group entered the hot pot restaurant.
The hot pot restaurant was already packed with people.
There are no private rooms left.
Chen Yun and his group could only find a table in the lobby to sit down, then ordered a hot pot base, a bunch of hot pot ingredients, beer, and soft drinks.
Then a group of people gathered around the hot pot and started eating.
Shu Tangyin and the others are all from Zhonghai, and they usually eat light meals.
Now, when I eat Chongqing hot pot, I find it spicy and stimulating, and I keep saying how satisfying it is.
Although Laifu was a burly man, he couldn't eat spicy food. He had to wash the food with boiling water while eating, but he was still sweating profusely from the spiciness and drank several glasses of beer.
Chen Yun smiled upon seeing this.
Song Yanran laughed and said, "I miscalculated. I forgot that you can't eat spicy food. But it's okay. I'll treat you to mushrooms next time. Our local mushroom is called 'Jianshouqing'. It's said that eating it might bring bad luck to others. It's very famous."
Everyone laughed.
But just as everyone was chatting and laughing...
Suddenly, a lewd male voice rang in my ears: "Hehe, isn't this the beautiful proprietress of our Ruyi Flower Shop?"
Chen Yun and the others glanced sideways.
A middle-aged man, around forty years old, wearing a floral shirt, with his hair slicked back, a gold chain around his neck, and a large gold watch on his wrist, was leering at Song Yanran. He was followed by several shady-looking thugs.
Song Yanran's face darkened, and she said unhappily, "Li Sanpao, we are eating. We hope you will not disturb us and will leave immediately."
Li Sanpao grinned and said, "Hehe, wasn't the beautiful boss lady smiling quite happily just now? Why did you turn so serious when you saw me? And what about that thing I asked you last time, whether you want to be my lover? What's your decision?"
Song Yanran said coldly, "Li Sanpao, please don't be so shameless. I've told you before, I have no interest in you!"
Li Sanpao chuckled lewdly, "Hehe, beautiful boss lady, you're not young anymore, and you've lost interest in romance? Fine, let's get straight to the point. I heard you've never had a boyfriend and are still a virgin. Sleep with me for one night, and I'll give you whatever you want, 100,000 or 200,000!"
After saying that, he ignored Song Yanran's angry expression and prepared to sit down and talk to her.
His gaze fell on Chen Yun, who was sitting next to Song Yanran. He glared at him and said fiercely, "Kid, get up and get out of here. Can't you see I'm talking to the beautiful boss lady? Don't you even know to give your brother Sanpao a seat? You have no sense at all!"
Chen Yun downed half a glass of beer in one gulp, slammed the glass on the table, stood up abruptly, slapped Li Sanpao across the face, and yelled, "What are you barking about here, you dog?"
Chen Yun's hand was like a tiger's tail, swift and powerful.
Snap!
With a single slap, Li Sanpao was sent flying.
Amidst the screams of the crowd, Li Sanpao flew several meters away, smashing over the hot pot on the next table with a loud crash.
Li Sanpao's henchmen.
The customers at the scene were also stunned.
