Chapter 712 - Flee
Chapter 712: Flee
The two officers who attempted to approach Leng Jinpeng to introduce them to their potential mate were so scared that they turned around and ran away without even picking up their plates when they found out that Nuannuan was Chi Yang’s fiancée.
After walking out for a while, they only returned only after the cleaners came over. They quickly cleaned up the food plates that had fallen on the floor and the spilled rice. Not daring to eat anymore, they quickly ran away.
After knowing that Nuannuan was Chi Yang’s fiancée, the officers quickly retracted their gazes.
They did not doubt what would happen if someone as vicious as Chi Yang bore a grudge against them.
Even though they could not help but pray and mourn for the little bunny, no one dared to look over.
After Chi Yang used his aura to scare away the other male creatures, he sat down beside Nuannuan like a loyal dog.
Then, everyone realized that after the four of them sat down, it was Chi Yang and… Commander-in-chief Leng Jinpeng, who stood up to fetch food for the little bunny and the old man.
Only then did everyone shift their focus onto the old man.
Although the old man was in already his seventies or eighties and wore simple clothes, the aura that he gave off was strong without having to be angry, and even though he was smiling, it could not hide his superior presence. Everyone guessed that this old man was not an ordinary person.
Taking a closer look, the old man looked somewhat similar to Chi Yang.
Instantly, the old man’s identity became clear.
The military base kept the identity of the officer’s family a secret. However, as a popular person in the military base, many people knew about Chi Yang’s family situation.
He came from a village and lost his parents when he was young. He was raised by her grandfather.
It seemed like…
Even though this old man came from a village, there was more to him than meets the eye!
The four of them were originally seated at a four-seater table, but Qu Mingyi, the chief of staff, arrived the moment the dishes were served.
Qu Mingyi’s face lit up when he saw Chi Yang and the rest.
“Commander-in-chief.”
Leng Jinpeng, “…”
He looked at the smug chief of staff and asked in a convoluted tone, “Why are you here? Didn’t you say that your wife and children are here and you took a day off just to spend time with them?”
“Yes.” The chief of staff nodded.
“Then, why are you here?”
“Our family is treating you to a meal tonight. I guess that you’re eating here, so I came to invite you.”
Leng Jinpeng, “…”
Seeing that Leng Jinpeng was hurt again, Zhong Nuannuan could not help but burst out laughing.
Previously, she thought that Leng Qirui was very pitiful, but now, she was convinced that the saying ‘a tiger would not give birth to a puppy[1]’ applied to these two here. Baby Tiger was pitiful, but Daddy Tiger was even more pitiful than Baby Tiger.
Nuannuan smiled, and Chi Yang’s expression softened. Even the old master laughed at this single dog with everyone else.
Leng Jinpeng felt that everyone directed all the malice in the world towards him.
“Nuannuan, this is…”
Seeing that Nuannuan was closer to the old master, Qu Mingyi thought that old master was someone related to Nuannuan.
“This is my Grandpa.”
Nuannuan’s introduction pleased Old Master Chi and Chi Yang.
Chi Yang introduced, “This is my Grandpa. He just came from Emperor District to visit Nuannuan.”
Qu Mingyi quickly reached out to shake the old master’s hand. “Greetings, Old Master. Welcome to the Jiang District military base to see our serious and not lively family. As the chief of staff and Chi Yang’s superior, I’m very grateful that you have nurtured such an outstanding officer for our military base.”
Old Master Chi stood up and shook Qu Mingyi’s hand. “Hello, Chief Qu.”
[1] This saying is usually used to praise someone and their next generation to be as excellent as their parents. In this context, Nuannuan laughed at Leng Qirui for suffering the same fate as his father.
