My Ares Son-in-Law

"I don't like him at all. It was the same in the past and it is still the same now. I can't accept his feelings anymore. But I am worried that he will do something extreme. After all, he has a paranoid personality..."

There was a hint of worry in Sophie's words, and her eyes as she looked at Xiao Chen were full of trust and dependence, as if she was seeking an answer that would put her at ease.

"He came to see you?" Xiao Chen's tone was filled with curiosity and inquiry. He leaned forward slightly and looked at Sophie intently, as if trying to capture more information from her expression.

Sophie sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness and embarrassment in her eyes: "Well, he was not originally in Tianhai, but went to Tiger Country to develop. It is said that he worked in a large company and has now been promoted to a senior executive position.

This time he flew here from Tianhai, saying he wanted to discuss some kind of cooperation, and he also offered to treat me to a meal. As a host, I was too embarrassed to refuse directly. "

Hearing this, Xiao Chen raised a playful smile: "He is quite persistent. He has been pursuing you for so long and he hasn't given up yet?" There was a hint of ridicule and admiration in his tone, as if he found the persistence of this senior both funny and admirable.

Sophie shook her head helplessly, her eyes revealing a bit of irritation and determination: "That's right, I told him clearly a few years ago that I was engaged, but he just didn't believe it.

This time he also said that if I was really engaged, he would invite us to dinner together, and he wanted to see it with his own eyes. But I knew in my heart that this was just an excuse for him not to give up. I really didn't want him to be entangled with me anymore, so I wanted to completely stop his idea. "

At the end, Sophie's tone was full of determination and helplessness. She sighed deeply, as if she wanted to let go of her troubles like this sigh.

Xiao Chen raised a relaxed smile and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll play the role of your fiancé this time, right?" His eyes flashed with a hint of teasing and doting, as if telling Sophie that no matter what difficulties she encountered, he would stand by her and protect her from the wind and rain.

After hearing this, Sophie's expression became slightly embarrassed. She lowered her head slightly, gently stroking the edge of the teacup with her fingers, feeling apologetic in her heart.

She realized that asking Xiao Chen to do this was not very authentic. After all, this nominal fiancé had received nothing from her except occasional companionship and care, but he still had to play the role of her fiancé and deal with the persistent pursuer. This did not seem to have any substantial benefits for him.

"If you don't want to, forget it... I can't let you waste your time because of my own affairs." Sophie's voice was apologetic and uneasy. She looked up at Xiao Chen, her eyes full of expectation and understanding, as if she was waiting for his response, but also afraid that he would refuse.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen's smile became even warmer. He gently patted Sophie's shoulder to comfort her:
"He's come all the way to Tianhai, it seems like he's a die-hard suitor. If I don't go, I'm afraid you really won't be able to do anything. After all, engagement is not marriage, and even if you're married, you can still get divorced. I have to go eventually... I'm fine anyway, so I'll go with you."

There was a sense of ease and relief in his tone, as if he was telling Sophie that no matter how many difficulties lay ahead, he would stand by her without hesitation and face them together with her.

After hearing this, Sophie felt a warm current in her heart. She looked at Xiao Chen with gratitude, her eyes full of emotion and trust. She knew that with him by her side, she could face any difficulties bravely.

She stared at Xiao Chen's hearty and warm smile, with a hint of doubt and confusion in her eyes, and asked softly, "Aren't you angry?" There was a hint of uneasiness in her voice, as if she was waiting for Xiao Chen's answer to confirm whether the guess in her heart was correct.

Xiao Chen was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then a brighter smile appeared on his face: "Why should I be angry?" His eyes were clear and firm, as if telling Sophie that he had no dissatisfaction or resentment in his heart.

After hearing this, Sophie felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She answered honestly, "You are my fake fiancé, but I always hope that you can help me shelter from the wind and rain and face those sudden troubles. However, I have not given you any practical benefits, and even... may have caused you a lot of trouble."

There was a hint of self-blame and guilt in her voice, as if she was apologizing for her selfishness and dependence.

Xiao Chen shook his head gently, his eyes full of understanding and tolerance: "You are wrong. In fact, this identity itself is a cover for me.

With this identity, I can do my own thing more freely without worrying about being disturbed or misunderstood by others. So, you don’t have to worry that I will feel disadvantaged or dissatisfied. In fact, I feel that I have taken advantage of you. "

His tone was relaxed and natural, as if telling Sophie that he really cherished this rare "cover" and was really grateful for her trust and support.

Hearing this, Sophie's mood became a little subtle. She lowered her eyes slightly, as if she had a thousand words to say in her heart, but she didn't know where to start.

She felt an inexplicable warmth and peace of mind, as if everything was reasonable, but also a sense of inexplicable loss and melancholy. This complex feeling intertwined together made her mood indescribable.

"Okay, thank you for your help." She forced a smile, with a hint of apology and gratitude in her voice. Although the smile was a little forced, the sincerity and trust in her eyes were clearly visible.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen joked, "It's great to have another big meal. It saves me from cooking." His tone was relaxed and humorous, as if he was telling Sophie that he was really looking forward to this dinner, and at the same time, he was using his own way to ease her tension and anxiety.

After hearing this, Sophie smiled. Although she was still a little embarrassed, she was obviously much more relaxed. She knew that Xiao Chen's words were not only a tease, but also a gentle way of telling her that he didn't mind helping, but enjoyed this kind of time.

Even if you cook delicious and nutritious food yourself, there are times when you don't want to cook. This sentence echoed gently in Sophie's heart. She felt Xiao Chen's consideration and understanding. It seemed that at this moment, all the worries and pressures disappeared.

In the evening, Sophie drove Xiao Chen slowly towards the restaurant. The scenery outside the car window quickly receded, but inside the car, the two of them were in an unusually calm and happy mood.

Sophie's driving skills were skillful and steady, while Xiao Chen sat in the passenger seat, occasionally chatting with Sophie and occasionally quietly admiring the scenery outside the window. (End of this chapter)
