Chapter 156: 156 Just call me Peng Ge is fine (fourth update)

A young man and woman walked together along the alley lined with various food shops.

The man had a tall figure, bronze skin, and angular facial features that were extremely sharp, with a heroic bearing. His features were handsome, with starry brows and piercing eyes, and he had a high recognition factor, projecting a tough and rugged image.

The woman was petite and exquisitely delicate, with a beauty that seemed to glow like the moon. Her skin was fair, and she wore a purple dress that highlighted her graceful demeanor.

They were clearly two people with different styles, but upon closer inspection, it became apparent that there was a certain resemblance between them.

"I came here on military duty," the man glanced at the woman beside him and reminded her in a low voice.

"What military duty!" The woman rolled her eyes at the man, "That’s not as important as eating. There’s a lobster restaurant ahead that’s really good. Let’s go there."

Having said this, she grabbed the man’s wrist and ran toward the bustling lobster restaurant, "Song Shiqin, let’s hurry, that place is really popular, and if we’re late, there won’t be any seats left."

The man shook his head helplessly, but he could only jog to keep up.

Women really are the most troublesome creatures, needing makeup when they go out, and food when they shop.

Indeed, by the time the two arrived at the lobster restaurant, the waiter informed them that the place was full and they would need to queue.

The man was on military duty and naturally needed to conceal his identity, unable to flaunt his status overtly.

"It doesn’t matter if there’s no room inside, we can sit outside and eat," the woman said nonchalantly.

"I’m sorry, madam, but the outside is also full," the waiter apologized.

"So what do we do?" the woman asked in frustration, "We’re in a hurry and definitely can’t waste time queuing and waiting for others to finish their meals."

"If you’re in a rush, why don’t you see which table has fewer customers and consider combining tables?" the waiter suggested.

"Okay, okay, that works. Let’s go outside and have a look," the woman said happily as she pulled the man and headed outside.

"Song Shiqin, I see that there are only two people seated at that four-person table over there, why don’t we combine tables with them?"

The man frowned slightly as he looked around at the noisy environment, "Do you have to eat lobster from this restaurant?"

A little noise isn’t really a problem.

The key issue was that there were actually people casually picking their feet while eating crayfish.

The man’s face was gradually turning darker.

"Song Shiqin, I know you don’t like interacting with strangers, but just this once, please?" the woman pleaded, shaking his arm, "The lobster here is really super delicious, trust me."

The man pursed his lips and didn’t speak, exuding an aura of implicit authority that didn’t quite fit in with the noisy crowd.

The woman pointed at one of the tables among the many diners and said, "Song Shiqin, I’m begging you, just this one time, look, it’s over there... "

The man glanced subconsciously in that direction, his pupils constricted slightly, and a spark of light flashed in his deep eyes.

"Let’s go," said the man who had originally intended to leave, suddenly changing his decision and walking in that direction.

The woman followed him ecstatically. Ah, Song Shiqin was too easy-going today.

"Song Shiqin, I tell you, once you’ve eaten the lobster from this place, you’ll want to eat it a second time," she promised.

Meanwhile, Chu Jin was dealing with the second portion of spicy crayfish served by the waiter along with the little girl, Linglong.

Red crayfish shells had already piled up beside them.

The server glanced at the two people eating heartily and was a bit amazed.

The appetites of the pair, one big and one small, were quite astonishing.

"Excuse me, may we join your table?" Suddenly, a pleasant female voice rang in his ear.

Chu Jin subconsciously looked up and saw a young woman in her twenties. Although she sported a neat bob cut, she had a lovely air about her, with striking features, and the purple dress she wore suited her complexion well.

Her eyes were curved in a friendly manner, making her appear approachable.

"Hello," Chu Jin smiled back at the woman.

It was then that he noticed the man beside her—Song Shiqin, a military general he had recently collaborated with.

It was unexpected to find the prominent general so down-to-earth, dining here.

Just as he wondered whether to greet Song Shiqin, the general spoke, "Miss Chu, I trust you’ve been well."

Chu Jin was not surprised that he knew her surname and raised her brows slightly, "Mr. Song, I trust you’ve been well, too."

"Oh, so you two know each other!" Seeing them interact, the woman immediately pulled out a chair and sat down, "Since we’re all friends here, I won’t stand on ceremony."

Saying that, she picked up a crayfish and quickly peeled it, starting to eat without any hesitation.

Song Shiqin smiled apologetically at Chu Jin, "This is my sister, Song Yu. She’s always been a bit brash, I hope Miss Chu won’t mind."

Wow.

This was the first time her brother had ever formally introduced her to anyone; this sister must be someone special.

Song Yu lightly lifted her eyes and subtly glanced back and forth between the two.

When she got back, she definitely had to tell her dad and grandpa the good news that the eternal bachelor had finally seen the light and knew how to flirt with girls.

This was indeed great news.

On the side, Little Ling also felt a deep sense of crisis for her daddy.

What’s with this weird uncle?

Hey! Don’t they know Chu Jin is hers?

Poor daddy, he hasn’t even made his move, and there are already several rivals.

No, she must safeguard Chu Jin!

When it’s time to act, she must act.

Alas, for a father who’s not up to snuff, her heart was really burdened.

Little Ling raised her head, her gaze traveling several times between Chu Jin and Song Shiqin, and she plotted in her heart.

"Mr. Song, please don’t stand on ceremony, have a seat," Chu Jin said, pointing to a chair nearby.

After they sat down, Chu Jin called the waiter over and added a few dishes.

"Beauty, what’s your name, and how did you meet my brother?" While peeling crawfish, Song Yu asked.

Chu Jin slightly raised her eyes, "My name is Chu Jin, Chu of Chu River and Han Border, Jin of a beautiful landscape."

"That’s a really nice name, then can I call you Jin Jin from now on?" Song Yu looked up, excited.

This was the first girl who had contact with her brother; she must be reserved, treat her nicely, and not scare her away.

"Sister," Chu Jin was about to speak when Little Ling’s voice filled the air, "Sister, you can’t call my mommy Jin Jin, okay? Everyone who knows her calls her Big Bro Jin, so you should too."

Chu Jin: "..." She responded with a smile that was awkward yet polite.

This child really didn’t forget to bring up this topic no matter where she went.

Little Ling lifted her cute little head, her round eyes staring unblinkingly at Song Yu.

Her chubby little face was smeared with some red oil, making her look soft and cute, irresistible to bite.

Song Yu’s heart was about to melt, just as she was about to reach out and lovingly pinch Little Ling, she suddenly realized something and stared at her with widened eyes, "You, you, you... what did you just call her?!"

Mommy!?

She didn’t hear that wrong, did she!?

Hey! She wouldn’t have thought Chu Jin, looking so young, could have such a big kid, right?

Was there a chance for her brother?

Song Shiqin was also surprised. Based on the information he found, Chu Jin was just 18 years old that year.

And this Little Ling looked at least 6 or 7 years old.

Calling her mommy?!

Is that really appropriate?

"Call her mommy?" Little Ling seemed quite pleased with Song Shiqin and Song Yu’s reactions.

How dare you even think of hitting on Big Bro Jin? Don’t you know she’s been booked by me?

Song Yu first pointed to Little Ling and then to Chu Jin, "You call her mommy? That can’t be right!"

"There’s no mistake, oh," Little Ling slid off the stool with a swish and climbed onto Chu Jin’s lap, pursing her shiny little lips and planting a kiss on Chu Jin’s face, "Big Bro Jin is going to be my mommy!"

A luminous mark instantly appeared on that pale, jade-like cheek.

"Sorry about that, the kid is a bit naughty," Chu Jin said with a smile to Song Shiqin and Song Yu, "This is a little sister from my family."

"Hey, no problem at all," Song Yu waved her hand nonchalantly. She thought so, Chu Jin looked so young, how could she have such a big child?

"Hmph," Little Ling pouted discontentedly and challenged Song Yu, "Just wait, Big Bro Jin will become my mommy sooner or later."

Now, she and Big Bro Jin were good buddies!

"Hahaha," Song Yu was amused by Little Ling’s antics, "Such a cute kid, what’s your name, and how old are you this year?"

"My name is Peng Ge, and I’m six years old," as she spoke, Little Ling’s eyes swiftly flickered, "Sister, you don’t have to call me brother, just Peng Ge is fine."

Chu Jin: Hey! What to do if I want to laugh?

This little rascal had even learned to draw inferences, and to keep herself from laughing, Chu Jin quickly peeled a shrimp and put it in her mouth.

"Peng Ge?" Song Yu believed it without a doubt and praised, "What a nice name, really nice, who named you?"
