A female soldier in military uniform ran in behind Qin Chen.

She was beautiful, but her expression looked pitiful.

"I think Commander Shen is right. Both the Army Commander and Commander Shen are still young. We should focus on our future prospects first."

"It's not too late to talk about things like marriage and engagement later. There's no need to rush!"

Suddenly a female soldier ran out and said this, and everyone present changed their expressions.

Especially Bo Liqing, he was the first one who couldn't bear it anymore and looked at Qin Chen coldly.

"Xiaochen, what's going on?"

"Who is this comrade? Why did you bring him home?"

Of course, Qin Chen didn't expect that the little female soldier would follow in.

He frowned slightly and looked back at her: "What are you doing in here? Didn't I tell you to wait outside?"

"I...I didn't notice this, please don't be angry, Commander."

When Qin Chen looked at her like this, the female soldier seemed to be frightened and shrank back.

Her eyes suddenly turned red and tears kept rolling in them, which was really heartbreaking to see.

But Qin Chen didn't buy her talk and turned around to explain to Bo Liqing and Shen Yao.

"Aunt Yaoyao, please don't misunderstand."

"She's a clerk at the headquarters. She came with me to get some documents."

After saying that, he turned to look at the female soldier and said, "Comrade Li Xue, whether Yaoyao and I choose to get married or not is our own business."

"As an outsider, you shouldn't interrupt. I hope you can be more careful!"

"I……"

Qin Chen's words were quite harsh, and it was obvious that Li Xue was a little hurt.

She looked at him with red eyes, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Shen Yao could also see that Li Xue was interested in Qin Chen.

She smiled calmly and said, "Okay, don't be so serious with the little girl. You'll scare her."

After saying that, Shen Yao turned around again and looked at Li Xue, whose eyes were full of Qin Chen.

She said word by word: "Although the future is important, the fact that Qin Chen and I are getting married will not affect our future."

"So I decided to get engaged first, and then decide on the wedding after the affairs of the female soldiers division are almost settled."

"Since Comrade Li Xue works at the headquarters, she should have a lot of contact with Qin Chen. They can be considered close comrades."

"So when we hold our engagement party, we hope Comrade Li Xue can come and drink a glass of wedding wine and share in our joy."

"Yes."

Seeing Shen Yao so calm and composed, Huang Shuangshuang had to repel this female soldier with bad intentions.

She also laughed: "Single women should take advantage of this kind of joy."

"That way, it will be easier to find someone you like."

Look at their whole family, they are all trying to point fingers at her.

Li Xue felt so ashamed that she could hardly control her tears.

She quickly said, "If there is a chance, I will definitely be there."

"In that case, I'll go out and wait. Bye."

After saying this, she left the Qin family as if she was escaping.

As soon as this person left, Bo Liqing glared at Qin Chen with a stern face.

He said almost word for word: "You kid, you should at least be more careful!"

"With your current status and your looks, do you know how many girls are staring at you?"

"So the more this happens, the more you should be careful about your sense of propriety and never let anyone have any improper thoughts about you!"

"Otherwise, you will regret it sooner or later!"

"Yes."

Bo Lizhi also thought this made sense, so he nodded.

"It's because Yaoyao is so understanding that I won't argue with you about this today. Otherwise, you'll regret it someday!"

Both elders scolded him, and Qin Chen also realized that he had been lax and had not paid much attention to this point.

He nodded seriously and listened attentively.

"Aunt and Uncle San, I know!"

"I will be careful in the future and won't let anyone misunderstand me."

After saying that, he turned his head again and looked at Shen Yao with some guilt.

"I'm sorry, Yaoyao. You're not angry, are you?"

"Li Xue and I really have no relationship. I didn't expect her to suddenly rush in and say such presumptuous words. Please don't bother with me."

Qin Chen had just returned from the front line, so he probably didn't have much contact with Li Xue.

Of course Shen Yao would not doubt him, so she smiled at him.

"I understand. Of course I won't be hard on you just because of other people's thoughts."

Seeing Shen Yao being so magnanimous, Qin Chen also laughed.

So he took the documents and didn't deliver them personally.

Instead, he asked Zhou Ci to deliver the documents to Li Xue and asked her to leave.

Next, the family sat down and continued to discuss the engagement.

So things went smoothly and their engagement date was set for a month later.

During this month, Shen Yao's life was busy and fulfilling.

The engagement matters were left to Qin Chen to handle, and Shen Yao only focused on training her own soldiers, and occasionally took care of Zhou Shunying and her children.

Since her divorce, Zhou Shunying has been living in the military compound, in the courtyard of a female battalion commander who came home to visit her relatives.

The courtyard was originally deserted, but it became lively when Zhou Shunying came with her children.

Even the single male officers living in this row couldn't help but tease the children when they passed by the yard every day.

Sometimes I give him two pieces of fruit, sometimes I give him a few pieces of candy.

So it was quite relaxing and comfortable for them, mother and son, to live here.

That day, Shen Yao came back from the teacher's school and went with Zhang Shuang to buy a few bottles of honey and malted milk, intending to give them to Zhou Shunying and the child as supplements.

But just as I reached the gate of their yard, I heard a woman's voice coming from inside the yard.

"Hey, sister Zhou, why are you so naive?"

"Captain Wu doesn't mind you being a second marriage with three children, so why won't you agree?"

"Although he's also a second marriage, his wife died on the battlefield and he has no children. Marrying him is no different than marrying a first-married man!"

"You're not still thinking about marrying some single male officer, are you?"

"Even though you are kind of good-looking, you don't have to be so picky, do you?"

"No, no, Auntie, you misunderstood me. That's not what I meant."

When Zhou Shunying heard the aunt say this, she became panicked on the spot.

"I thought I had no strengths, my salary was low, and I had no skills. I also had three children, so how could I be qualified to marry the company commander?"

"You think too highly of me. I'm not worthy of you!"

"I don't want to think about anything else in the future. I just want to raise my children well. This will take a lifetime. Why bother dragging others down?"

When the middle-aged woman who had been a little disgusted just now heard Zhou Shunying say this, she laughed on the spot.

"As long as you don't look down on Captain Wu, that's all you need to say!"

"After all, Captain Wu took a fancy to you, so he asked me to bring you together."

"So, sister, instead of raising a child by yourself, why don't you find someone to help you?"

"Captain Wu also said that he doesn't dislike your child and only wants to live with you in the future. He will definitely treat you well."

"So you don't have to rush to reject me. Think about it first, okay?"

"This……"

In Zhou Shunying's opinion, it was outrageous that anyone would like her.

So the woman kept saying this, and she was more or less at a loss.

When Shen Yao and Zhang Shuang heard this at the door, they smiled and tried to smooth things over.

"Aunt, thank you so much for taking care of Sister Zhou Er."

"But this matter is not trivial. Sister Zhou Er probably needs to think about it carefully and give you an answer later."
