Merely smiling, Shen Peichuan chose not to respond to her. He was at a loss for how to rebuke her, similar to how he had been, earlier, when Su Zhan had teased him for being obtuse.
“Come over and take a seat.” Captain Song was reading the newspapers on the couch. When he saw them enter, he placed the newspapers down.
Shen Peichuan walked over, while Sang Yu followed obediently behind him.
“Peichuan, take a seat. Lunch will be ready soon,” urged Song Yaxin with a smile.
Shen Peichuan nodded. “Thank you for your effort.”
Song Yaxin joked, “If you think that it’s hard on me, you can help me.”
“Don’t think of me as a hassle then.” Shen Peichuan stood up as though he had actually planned to help her. However, Song Yaxin soon waved her hands quickly and clarified, “I was merely joking. Don’t take it too seriously! Just remain seated.”
With that, she spun around and entered the kitchen.
Standing at the side, Mrs. Song shot a couple of glances at Sang Yu. Feeling upset, she headed into the kitchen. She initially planned to matchmake Shen Peichuan with her daughter, but he unexpectedly brought a girlfriend along. Naturally, she felt very unhappy.
Seeing that her daughter was still chopping the vegetables, she snatched the knife away from her. “Go out and accompany the guests. I can cope alone here.”
“They’re not outsiders, anyway. Dad’s there too.” Song Yaxin did not understand her mother’s intentions.
It was not true that she was completely oblivious. However, as she was also surprised that Shen Peichuan had brought a girl over, she was at a momentary loss for what to do.
Her mother sighed. “When your father asked you to marry Shen Peichuan, you refused. Look at him now. He’s already the deputy chief. For these few years, he hasn’t gotten in a lot of relationships too.”
“Mom.” Song Yaxin did not want to hear her mother nag. “Let bygones be bygones. Don’t talk about them anymore, okay?”
There is no point in regretting right now.
Mrs. Song sighed as she walked over to help her daughter. “I wonder when he got a girlfriend.”
Song Yaxin remained silent. After the oil in the wok was heated, she placed the sliced ginger into the wok and fried it until it was fragrant. Then, she added in the peppercorns, the spices, and the chopped chicken.
While the oil sizzled, the fragrance of the ingredients emerged right away.
“Shen Peichuan managed to rise to his rank because of your father’s help.” The more Mrs. Song thought about it, the more upset she became. “That girl looks too young. She doesn’t seem compatible with Shen Peichuan at all.”
“Mom, what are you trying to say?” Song Yaxin glanced at her mother exasperatedly. “We should be happy that such a dull man like him has managed to find himself a girlfriend. Why do you look so upset?”

Song was swift to agree to it. “Well, there are a lot of big fishes in the ocean. Furthermore, since you’re still young and childless, it’s not difficult to find yourself a good man. It’s not like Shen Peichuan’s the only man
