My Ares Son-in-Law

Cao Xuan listened to these words with a smug smile on his face, but he remained humble:

"Please don't flatter me like that. This is flattery. We are all old classmates, brothers and sisters. If there are any problems or if you need help, I will definitely help as long as I am able. After all, one person's success is not real success. Only when you succeed with everyone, that is real success."

As he spoke, he deliberately adjusted his posture to make himself appear more upright, with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.

He also glanced at Xiao Chen and Su Fei with pride from the corner of his eyes. His eyes were full of expectation, as if to say, "Look, I am the focus of everyone's attention now. You two should envy me."

However, he was disappointed.

Xiao Chen didn't even look at him, as if he was just an insignificant passerby. Xiao Chen lowered his head and took out his phone from his pocket, sliding his fingers across the screen, sometimes showing a focused expression, sometimes with a faint smile on his lips, completely immersed in his own world, turning a deaf ear to what he said.

As for Sophie, she was chatting animatedly with the girl next to her, her laughter clear and sweet, as if she didn't notice his presence at all. Her eyes were shining with excitement and curiosity, and she shared interesting stories with her girl classmate, as if everything he just said had nothing to do with her.

This scene made him extremely embarrassed, the smile on his face gradually froze, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes. He originally wanted to attack Xiao Chen by pretending to be so arrogant and win Sophie's favor at the same time, but he didn't expect that his performance would be so unsuccessful and he didn't get any response.

He felt that his self-esteem had been greatly damaged, and he was filled with anger. He gritted his teeth secretly, thinking: "These two guys are so ungrateful. When I have the chance, I will definitely teach you a lesson!"

However, he remained calm on the surface and tried not to show his emotions. After all, he still had to maintain his image among this group of classmates.

He decided to take the initiative, looking at Xiao Chen with a bit of provocation and curiosity in his eyes, and said with a playful smile:
"Brother Xiao doesn't seem to be very interested in what I'm saying. It seems that you, as the manager of the PR department, are quite capable. Otherwise, our school beauty Sophie wouldn't be so fond of you, right? Come on, tell us, what is your secret? Is it your talent, or do you have some other tricks?"

Hearing this, Xiao Chen gently put down the phone in his hand, and shifted his gaze from the phone screen to Cao Xuan's face. There was a hint of indifference and disdain in his eyes, as if to say, "I've seen through your little tricks a long time ago."

He glanced at Cao Xuan indifferently, a scornful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said slowly:
"It seems that you didn't listen to what I just said. I said it's because I'm handsome, what other reason could it be? Honestly, have you ever seen a man as handsome as me in your life? My good looks are natural assets, you can't envy them."

There was a hint of confidence and pride in Xiao Chen's words, and his eyes were shining with confidence, as if telling everyone that his handsomeness was impeccable and unmatched by anyone.

His tone was relaxed and natural, as if he was stating an indisputable fact rather than deliberately showing off. This attitude made Cao Xuan's face even uglier, and the anger in his heart became more intense.

After Xiao Chen finished speaking, the whole scene suddenly fell into a brief silence. Everyone was stunned, as if shocked by Xiao Chen's sudden confident remarks.

"Are you staging... a large-scale Versailles scene?" A male classmate finally couldn't help but speak up and broke the silence, with a hint of ridicule and helplessness in his tone.

"Why would I want to just punch you twice?" another male classmate echoed, with an exaggerated expression on his face, as if Xiao Chen's words really made him feel indignant.

"Just because you are handsome, our school belle falls in love with you? This is too unfair!" A female classmate muttered dissatisfiedly, with a look of doubt towards Xiao Chen in her eyes.

"That's right, Xiao Chen, you are right, but you can't be so direct. Is our school beauty so superficial? She is the pride of our school, how can we only look at her appearance?" Another male classmate also joined the discussion, with a tone of defense for Sophie. "Do you still have any shame?" Cao Xuan sneered at the side, his eyes full of disdain and provocation for Xiao Chen.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Sophie's face, their eyes filled with inexplicable expectation and curiosity, as if waiting for her to give a positive answer to confirm whether Xiao Chen's words were true.

Facing everyone's expectant gazes, Sophie appeared exceptionally calm and confident.

She smiled and said calmly, "Why are you all looking at me? He was just joking, but you took him seriously.

I pursue Xiao Chen not only because he is handsome, but also because he is capable. He is smart, brave, and responsible. I always feel a deep sense of security around him. This sense of security cannot be replaced by any external conditions. "

"That's why I chased him!"

There was a hint of firmness and tenderness in Sophie's words, and her eyes flashed with deep trust and dependence on Xiao Chen.

This is the truth, without any exaggeration or falsehood.

If possible, Sophie really hopes that Xiao Chen can stay by her side forever. Even if they are not husband and wife, as long as she can see Xiao Chen often, she will feel extremely safe and secure in her heart.

This emotion has gone beyond simple liking and admiration and has become a deep dependence and trust.

"Chase?" This word came out from everyone's mouth with a bit of surprise and confusion.

"Could it be that the school beauty is pursuing Xiao Chen?" When this guess came out, everyone was stunned, as if they had heard something incredible.

"Where is your former goddess-like arrogance?" A classmate couldn't help but ask, with a hint of teasing and curiosity in his tone.

Zhang Kai laughed, with a hint of envy and admiration in his voice: "It seems that Brother Xiao is very charming, otherwise, how could he have charmed our school beauty so much and even made her pursue him."

His eyes were shining with admiration and envy for Xiao Chen, as if he was also looking forward to one day becoming the focus of everyone's attention like Xiao Chen.

Sophie looked at Xiao Chen from the side, her eyes full of affection and gratitude: "To me, Xiao Chen is not only my fiancé, but also my benefactor. Without him, my company might have gone bankrupt long ago, and I might even have lost my life.

He lent me a helping hand when I was in the most difficult time, and gave me hope again. So, no matter where he is, I will silently support him and accompany him. " (End of this chapter)
