My Ares Son-in-Law

Li Yongheng forced a smile on his face, but he felt mixed emotions in his heart.

He knew very well that Xiao Chen's attitude was not out of politeness, but rather a bit of disdain and arrogance. This made him feel angry and lost, as if his status and dignity were easily trampled upon by the other party.

However, he still tried to maintain his outward calm, and asked with a smile, "Oh, I see. But Sophie, when did you get engaged? Why didn't even I, your senior, know about it? We are good friends, so you should have informed me."

There was a hint of blame and confusion in his tone, as if he was expressing his concern and dissatisfaction with Sophie.

Sophie chuckled, with a hint of playfulness and helplessness in her tone:
"Engagement is not marriage, I don't think it's necessary to be extravagant, after all, it's just the beginning. Besides, you were studying abroad at the time, and due to the time difference and busy schedule, I really couldn't contact you in time. Look, as soon as I came back, I caught up with such big news."

Upon hearing this, Li Yongheng's lips curled up into a complex smile, with both relief and a hint of barely perceptible sadness:

"I never heard that you had a boyfriend before. I was always worried that you were too focused on your career and would delay yourself. I didn't expect you to keep it a secret and suddenly say you were engaged. I was really surprised and happy for you."

His words revealed his concern and blessing for Sophie, but deep in his eyes there was an indescribable emotion.

He knew very well that the distance between him and Sophie was growing farther and farther. The secret love and expectation he once had for her could only turn into a gentle sigh and disappear with the wind.

But he was unwilling to accept this. This unwillingness was like a huge rock, weighing heavily on his heart, making it difficult for him to let go.

How come Sophie, the school belle whom I have been chasing after for so many years, who was once as bright as a star in school and was admired by all the boys, has become someone else's woman now?

Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Li Yongheng would always involuntarily recall those days of youth and frivolity, how he had tried so hard to get close to her, and how he had carefully prepared gifts for her birthday just to win a smile from her.

However, now all of this has come to nothing, and she has become Xiao Chen's fiancée. This sudden change has made him feel so unbalanced, as if the whole world has been turned upside down.

Li Yongheng tried his best to suppress his inner impulse. His clenched fists trembled slightly, but he still forced a smile and looked at Xiao Chen and said:

"Sophie is the campus beauty of our school, a recognized goddess. Her beauty and talent are like the brightest star in the night sky. She is the dream lover of all boys. You can actually get her. This luck is really enviable.

If the boys in our school who once pursued her knew about this, I’m afraid they would really beat you up.”

When he said this, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, including envy and jealousy.

Xiao Chen stared at Li Yongheng with a smile, his deep eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts: "Oh? Do you want to beat me too?" There was a hint of teasing and provocation in his tone, and he seemed to not care about Li Yongheng's threat at all.

Li Yongheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Indeed, envy and jealousy are human nature. After all, Sophie, whom I have always wanted but could not get, has become your fiancée. How can I not feel emotional about this gap?
But then again, it must be very difficult for you to pursue her, right? After all, Sophie is not the kind of woman who can be easily conquered. "

His smile was a bit bitter and self-deprecating, as if he was using this method to cover up his inner disappointment and unwillingness. "Actually, I didn't pursue her either." Xiao Chen's voice was indifferent, with an indescribable indifference and detachment.

"I originally lived in seclusion in the mountains, far away from the hustle and bustle, and lived in harmony with the world. Later, one day when I came down the mountain, I accidentally heard that my family had arranged a marriage for me, and then I learned that my fiancée was Sophie.

To be honest, I still find it hard to accept it. After all, I am used to the breeze and the bright moon in the mountains, and I can't help but feel a little resistant to this sudden worldly bondage. "

What? Hard to accept?

When Li Yongheng heard this, he couldn't help but curse in his heart, but he still had to maintain a stiff smile on his face.

Listen to what you are saying. She is the campus belle of our school. Now she is the head of Su Group, holding great power and enjoying unlimited glory.

I pursued her for three whole years, from freshman year to graduation, and I never even touched her hand! You haven't even met her yet, but you're already acting like you don't like it. Aren't you trying to piss me off on purpose?
Li Yongheng's heart was filled with envy and jealousy, as well as a hint of reluctance and helplessness. He looked at Xiao Chen with a complex expression, which showed both envy for Xiao Chen's good luck and self-mockery for his own years of hard work.

"You deserve a beating for what you said." Li Yongheng smiled bitterly. There was real bitterness in that smile. There was sourness in the bitterness, and astringency in the sourness, as if he was tasting the bitterness and bitterness he had experienced over the years.

Xiao Chen chuckled, with a bit of confidence and calmness in his smile: "I'm afraid that won't work, because you definitely can't beat me." His tone was relaxed, but revealed an unquestionable firmness.

Li Yongheng's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he was obviously a little unhappy with Xiao Chen's confidence. He gritted his teeth, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes: "If we really fight, I may not lose to you.

I am not afraid to tell you that before the era of warriors, my family was a family of martial arts with a long history and deep roots.

Later, I went to Tiger Country for further training and learned the essence of martial arts there, which greatly increased my strength. Although I may not necessarily attack you, if we really fight, it is hard to say who will win."

At this point, Li Yongheng's tone softened a little, he sighed, and continued:

"But of course I can't do anything to you. After all, Sophie has found her own happiness. As her classmate, I am really happy for her. I am also very pleased to see that she is living such a good life now."

At this point, Li Yongheng changed the subject and suddenly became interested in Xiao Chen's work: "By the way, Xiao Chen, you have an extraordinary temperament, and your every move reveals a sense of calmness and composure. Your job must be very sacred, right?" His eyes were full of curiosity and respect.

Xiao Chen heard this and smiled, with a hint of humility and indifference in his smile: "Actually, I don't have any serious work.

After coming down the mountain, I followed my fiancée to work as a doctor in the company's medical office at the Su Group for a few days. However, I don't like being bound, so I simply quit. After all, Sophie is a rich person, and I don't make much money as a doctor, and it's tiring..." (End of this chapter)
