My Ares Son-in-Law

There was a hint of request and expectation in Sophie's words. Although she didn't say the following words, the meaning was very clear.

"No problem, I'll go with you." Xiao Chen answered without any hesitation, his tone revealing decisiveness and resolution.

In his heart, Sophie and Lin Youya are completely different beings.

Sophie's cognition is clear and rational. She knows very well that her identity as the "fiancé" is just a play, so she never has unrealistic fantasies. When you get along with Sophie, you can always feel a rare sense of ease and comfort, without having to worry that your words and actions will cause unnecessary trouble.

Xiao Chen turned his gaze to Lin Youya and said with some apology: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, my fiancée is going to attend the class reunion and I have to go with her." His tone was full of helplessness, but more of it was a sense of responsibility towards Sophie.

"Your fiancee?"

When Lin Youya heard this, the smile on her face froze instantly, and a trace of surprise and disappointment flashed in her eyes. Although she had heard that Xiao Chen already had a fiancée, she couldn't help but feel sad when she heard him say it so frankly.

That feeling is like a seed that originally held a glimmer of hope, but was suddenly beaten down by the ruthless frost of reality, like a frost-bitten eggplant that has lost its former vitality and luster.

There was an indescribable complex emotion in her eyes, including a slight sense of loss towards Xiao Chen, and a helpless sigh over her own feelings.

Well, then I'll take my leave first. Their class reunion happens to be held tonight. I'll go there after I send you home. There was a hint of tenderness and concern in Xiao Chen's voice. He spoke softly, his eyes full of consideration for Lin Youya.

Lin Youya felt uncomfortable. She didn't expect Xiao Chen to mention the evening's arrangements so directly, and she didn't expect that she would feel an inexplicable sense of loss and jealousy at this moment.

So, she suppressed the turmoil in her heart, raised a stubborn smile, and said with a bit of firmness and willfulness in her voice: "No need, I will go back by myself!"

Before she finished her words, she quickly started the car. The sound of the wheels rubbing against the ground seemed particularly harsh in the night sky, as if it was a direct reflection of her inner dissatisfaction and struggle.

As soon as she stepped on the accelerator, the car rushed out like an arrow, leaving Xiao Chen standing alone in the night, looking at her receding back with a complicated look in his eyes.

Xiao Chen naturally understood where Lin Youya's temper came from, but he was more worried. He knew that in this fierce competition, Lin Youya defeated Wang Xiong with her own strength, which undoubtedly touched the sensitive nerves of some people.

In this complex and ever-changing world, there is no guarantee that the other party will not take extreme measures and attack secretly. Therefore, although Lin Youya acted as if she did not need help, Xiao Chen decided to quietly follow her to ensure her safety.

The night was as dark as ink, the street lights were dim, and Xiao Chen's figure was looming behind Lin Youya's car. With his extraordinary flying speed, he easily maintained a distance from Lin Youya's car, so that he was not discovered and could protect her at all times.

His eyes were sharp and focused, and every slight movement could not escape his perception.

It was not until he saw Lin drive home safely and elegantly, the car lights turned off, and everything returned to calm, that he breathed a sigh of relief, a reassuring smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, then he turned around, turned into a black shadow, and instantly disappeared into the night.

With his flying speed, like a meteor streaking through the night sky, it was naturally much faster than a car. The sense of speed beyond the mortal world made Xiao Chen feel an indescribable freedom and joy every time he flew. After that, Xiao Chen put away his unruly attitude and turned to fly in the direction of Sophie. He was in a relaxed and happy mood, looking forward to this beautiful night.

"Where are we eating?" Xiao Chen's smile was warm and bright, as if it could illuminate every corner of Sophie's heart. His voice was low and magnetic, making people want to get closer.

Sophie's face was also filled with smiles. She replied, "Tianhai is a famous holy town, a resort that integrates catering and entertainment. It has a beautiful environment and a unique atmosphere. It is the best choice for our gathering this time."

There was a gleam of anticipation in her eyes, as if she was already in that dreamlike place.

Hearing this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but laugh and said, "I know that place, the cost is very high, it's considered the most high-end leisure and entertainment venue in Tianhai. So how do you calculate the cost of your party, is it AA per person, or is someone paying for it?"

There was a hint of teasing in his tone, but it also revealed his concern for Sophie.

Sophie shrugged, with a helpless smile on her face: "Someone is treating us. Some of my classmates are very rich and like to show off their wealth and treat us, so I won't compete with them. In fact, I think the AA system is more fair, but since someone is willing to pay, we won't be polite."

There was a hint of self-mockery in her tone, but it also revealed a sense of freedom and casualness.

Xiao Chen smiled, with a hint of teasing and ridicule in his smile: "Showing off their wealth in front of you, President Su, is like showing off in front of Guan Gong. It's just asking for trouble."

His eyes flashed with admiration and ridicule for Sophie, as if to say that any attempt to show off wealth in front of Sophie was unnecessary.

Sophie chuckled, and her laughter was like the spring breeze, soft and warm. "Let people show off if they want to. I just went to see my old classmates and keep in touch. After all, in this fast-paced society, it is a rare enjoyment to have the opportunity to get together with old friends and talk about the past and the present."

There was a hint of nostalgia and anticipation in her eyes, as if she had returned to those carefree student days.

“Besides,” Sophie continued, with a hint of pride and humility in her tone.

"Some people there are indeed richer than me. There were 56 people in our class at the time, and this time there were 50 of them. Except for some who couldn't come for various reasons, such as not doing well or not having time, almost everyone came. Such a gathering is really rare."

Xiao Chen sighed when he heard that, with a hint of helplessness and envy in his sigh: "There won't be anyone pursuing you there, right? After all, with your looks, I heard that you're the school beauty of your school, so there must be a long queue of suitors."

There was a hint of seriousness in his eyes, as if he was really worried that Sophie would get into trouble at the party.

Sophie just smiled slightly when she heard that. Her smile was full of confidence and calmness. "As for suitors, I did have a few, but I rejected them all. I just want to focus on my career now. As for relationships, I'll consider them when the time is right."

As she spoke, she also deliberately glanced at Xiao Chen, and saw that Xiao Chen's expression did not change, and he was obviously a little disappointed. (End of this chapter)
