My Ares Son-in-Law

However, just as the atmosphere was about to become awkward, Xiao Chen changed the subject and proposed a compromise plan:

"How about this, although I can't be your full-time personal bodyguard, I can consider giving me a sinecure position in your company, a position where I can leave at any time and without any restrictions.

This way, if you are in danger, I will naturally appear in time to protect you. As for the reward, I don't need a salary at ordinary times, but every time you need my help, you must give me a corresponding bonus as a thank you, how about it? "

Xiao Chen's proposal made Lin Youya's eyes light up. She looked up at Xiao Chen with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

She understood that this was the biggest concession Xiao Chen could make. Moreover, such an arrangement could satisfy her need for security while not placing too much restraint on Xiao Chen, allowing him to handle his own affairs freely.

"Is this... is this really possible?" Lin Youya's voice was a little uncertain, but more of it was expectation and gratitude. She knew how rare such an opportunity was for her.

Xiao Chen smiled slightly, that smile was full of confidence and calmness: "Of course, as long as you are willing, we can discuss the specific details now."

Xiao Chen thought to himself that this arrangement was a good idea for him. He gently stroked his chin, his eyes flashing with shrewdness and calculation.

Getting close to Lin Youya would not only give him the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of Jiang Meng's current situation, but also perhaps gain more unexpected information from this seemingly weak but actually tough woman.

However, he was also well aware that the burden on his shoulders was not light. The affairs of the Light Prison Clan were like heavy chains, constantly binding his time and energy, making it impossible for him to follow Lin Youya all the time.

Lin Youya nodded gently, with a hint of helplessness and reluctance in her movements. Her eyes stayed on Xiao Chen for a short while, as if she could see through his inner calculations, but she had to compromise because of the current situation.

Her brows were slightly furrowed, revealing her dissatisfaction and confusion with Xiao Chen's request. She muttered to herself: This guy really knows how to pick the time. If I wasn't in prison now and urgently needed a reliable ally, how could I let him succeed so easily?
"Okay!" She confirmed again, her voice was soft but full of unquestionable firmness. Then, she turned around and glanced at the exquisite interior decoration, her heart was in turmoil. She knew very well that the signing of this contract was not just an exchange of interests, but also a bet on her own safety.

"I'll prepare the contract later and we'll sign it directly." Lin Youya added, with an irrefutable decisiveness in her tone.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen smiled faintly, showing his satisfaction with the upcoming cooperation and his admiration for Lin Youya's stubbornness and independence. He nodded without saying anything, just quietly waiting for Lin Youya's move.

Afterwards, the two walked in tacit agreement, one in front of the other, back to the spacious and bright living room of the villa. In the living room, the soft light shone on them, adding a bit of warmth and solemnity to the upcoming cooperation.

The air was filled with a faint scent of tea, which seemed to add an imperceptible touch of harmony and tranquility to the transaction.

At this time, Lin Yue was sitting elegantly on the sofa in the living room, with an upright posture and eyes that revealed the kindness and care that only elders have. His eyes shuttled gently between Xiao Chen and Lin Youya, as if he was savoring the subtle atmosphere between the two, with a little imperceptible caution mixed in his expectation. Lin Youya walked lightly to Lin Yue's side, naturally took his arm, with a warm smile on her face, that smile was like a flower blooming in spring, bright and gentle.

"Very good," she whispered softly, with a hint of sweetness and satisfaction in her voice, as if the conversation that had just ended was not just a simple exchange, but a resonance between two hearts.

Hearing this, Lin Yue's face suddenly broke into a relieved smile, full of joy and relief, as if a stone that had been weighing on his heart for a long time had finally fallen. "When will the contract be signed?" He asked impatiently, his voice revealing his deep concern for his granddaughter's safety and his trust in Xiao Chen's ability.

"Right now!" Lin Yueya answered neatly without any hesitation. She turned around, picked up the folder she had prepared long ago from the coffee table, and handed it to Lin Yue, with determination and expectation in her eyes.

Lin Yue took the folder, but his eyes turned to Xiao Chen involuntarily, with a hint of imperceptible worry in his expectation. "Mr. Xiao, are you really willing to be my granddaughter's personal bodyguard?" His words contained both inquiry and confirmation, and his tone revealed his importance to Xiao Chen's promise.

Xiao Chen sensed Lin Yue's concern and was about to explain, but he happened to catch the subtle look Lin Youya gave him. There was both a request and trust in that look, as if to say, "Please help me this time."

So, Xiao Chen smiled slightly, nodded, and said with some sincerity and emotion: "Well, I feel quite sympathetic when I heard about Miss Lin's experience. Moreover, Miss Lin looks very similar to an old friend of mine. The similar appearance makes it impossible for me to stand idly by, and I don't want to see her get hurt, so I agreed."

Lin Yue's eyes were filled with infinite tenderness and kindness. He slowly shifted his gaze away from Lin Youya and looked at Xiao Chen beside him. His voice was filled with a bit of heaviness and emotion:
"Youya, the child, lost the protection of her parents at a young age, and I am already in my twilight years. Every day seems like a race against time, and I don't know when I will fall into a deep sleep that will never wake up.

In this long yet short journey of life, I have nothing else to ask for. The only thing I can't let go of is the child, Youya."

At this point, Lin Yue's eyes turned red. He paused for a moment, as if he was sorting out his emotions, and then continued:
“Recently, the world has been in turmoil, and there are always some people with evil intentions who have set their greedy eyes on elegance.

They either covet her innocence or covet her wealth. All these malicious actions make me, as an elder, worried. Whenever it is late at night, I always toss and turn, unable to fall asleep, for fear that elegance will be hurt in the slightest. "

"But fortunately, with your presence, Mr. Xiao, it is like a warm spring breeze that blows away the haze in my heart.

Your courage and responsibility give me hope and make me believe that under your protection, elegance will be able to stay away from danger and trouble.

With you, I can finally put down the heavy stone in my heart and spend every day and night in peace, because I know that elegance is safe and someone cares about her sincerely. "(End of this chapter)
