My Ares Son-in-Law

Upon hearing this, Ma Zhenglin raised his head and burst into laughter. His laughter was hearty and heroic, echoing in the room: "Mr. Xiao, how can money measure the gratitude for saving my life?

If you don't accept this gift, it would seem that I, Ma Zhenglin, am being distant, as if our Ma family is a family that doesn't know how to repay a favor.

Please stop refusing and accept it. It will make me feel better."

Seeing that Ma Zhenglin was so sincere, Xiao Chen no longer refused.

He took the key calmly, his fingers gently stroked the patterns on the key, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

For him, having a stable place to stay can indeed save a lot of energy.

In the coming period of time, he may stay in the Northwest Region for a long time. There are many things to deal with, and without a fixed place to stay, running back and forth will cause many inconveniences. It is really not suitable.

This house is like a warm harbor for him in the ancient city, where he can rest in peace after a busy day.

When Ma Zhenglin saw Xiao Chen happily accept the key, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

He let out a long sigh and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

He knew very well that Xiao Chen was not short of money at all.

With his amazing medical skills, if he treated a big shot, the reward would be enough for him to live a rich life.

The houses here may not be worth anything in Xiao Chen's eyes.

What's more, Xiao Chen has a rich fiancée named Sophie. Sophie comes from a wealthy family and has seen all kinds of good things.

It is really lucky for the Ma family that Xiao Chen can accept this gift from me.

But he felt that the kindness should not be kept in one's heart only, but should be expressed sincerely to be worthy of this life-long friendship.

Only when Xiao Chen truly feels the Ma family's sincerity can this friendship last for a long time.

Sophie was wearing a pair of plush slippers and walking happily around the room.

The plush slippers made a slight rustling sound as they stepped on the wooden floor, as if it was the accompaniment of her cheerful mood.

The last time she and Xiao Chen went to Dongcheng, they stayed in a hotel.

Although the hotel has complete facilities and considerate services, it still lacks the warmth of home.

But this place is completely different. This is the house that Ma Zhenglin gave to Xiao Chen to thank him for saving his life. It is of great significance and is almost like a small home for them in the ancient city.

She walked to the French window in the living room, looked out at the rushing river, and felt the breeze on her face;
After a while, he went to the kitchen again, opened the cupboard, and looked at the kitchen utensils inside curiously;
After a while, he ran to the bedroom, lay on the soft big bed, and felt the elasticity of the mattress.

Her eyes were full of novelty and joy, as if she was in a dream world.

Is this their little world in the ancient city?

A private space for just two people?
Thinking of this, her ears felt slightly hot and her cheeks flushed slightly, just like the sunset in the sky.

She felt her heartbeat quicken a little, and even when her fingertips touched the furniture, there was a hint of excitement.

She seemed to have seen every detail of her and Xiao Chen's life here, watching TV together in the living room, cooking together in the kitchen, and enjoying the night view together on the balcony...

That picture is so beautiful and so desirable.

Ma Zhenglin stood up and said goodbye to Xiao Chen and Su Fei. He bowed slightly with a warm and polite smile on his face: "Mr. Xiao, Miss Su, thank you for bothering you today. I will take my leave first.

If you encounter any difficulties in this ancient city, please feel free to ask, and my Ma family will definitely help you with all our strength."

After that, he walked out of the house slowly with steady steps. When Sophie saw Ma Zhenglin leave, she immediately jumped to Xiao Chen like a happy little deer, grabbed his arm, and her eyes sparkled with excitement, like the brightest stars in the night sky: "Xiao Chen, let's eat hot pot at home tonight!

How about just warming up this new house and starting our new life in this ancient city with a bang?"

She tilted her head and looked at Xiao Chen expectantly, as if she could already smell the spicy and delicious aroma of the hot pot.

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, a teasing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes fell on Sophie: "Do you know how to make hot pot base?"

The look in his eyes was full of ridicule, as if to say, "Can you, a little confused like you, do this?"

Sophie's originally cheerful expression froze on her face in an instant, like a blooming flower suddenly attacked by frost.

She scratched her head in embarrassment and muttered, "Oh, I almost forgot... I can't even tell the difference between salt and sugar."

Her voice became smaller and smaller, and her head drooped lower and lower. She looked like a child who had done something wrong, full of regret.

Looking at her cute appearance, Xiao Chen couldn't help but chuckle.

That laughter was like the spring breeze, gentle and warm.

He walked forward and patted Sophie's shoulder gently: "Okay, I'll cook and you'll be in charge of the plating, okay?

You little fool, please don't blow up the kitchen."

Sophie's eyes suddenly lit up, as if a bright light suddenly lit up in the night sky.

She nodded vigorously and said excitedly, “No problem!

I can also help you peel garlic, wash vegetables, and give you some extra work.

By the way, how come you, such a great master, can cook?

In my impression, a great person like you should be a person who has never done anything ordinary."

She tilted her head and looked at Xiao Chen with curiosity, her eyes full of desire for the unknown.

Xiao Chen gently turned the shopping cart to the seasoning area, and while selecting the seasonings, he slowly said: "Don't you know that I was a soldier before?

All soldiers have learned to cook. Although they are not as good as professional cooks, their skills are not much different.

In the army, we ate, lived, trained and cooked together. It was an unforgettable time.”

A gleam of reminiscence flashed in his eyes, as if he had returned to those passionate years.

After hearing this, Sophie became even more curious. Like a curious baby, she asked, "Didn't you say you came down from the mountain?
How come you were a soldier again?
How old are you? You have so much experience. "

She looked Xiao Chen up and down, trying to find traces of time on his face, but Xiao Chen's handsome face was still young and handsome, and it was impossible to tell how much he had experienced.

Xiao Chen paused, stopped what he was doing, raised his head, looked into the distance with deep eyes, and said softly: "I am not as young as you see."

His voice was deep and mysterious, as if it contained countless unknown stories.

Sophie nodded as if she understood something. In fact, she always felt that Xiao Chen was very mysterious and definitely not as simple as he seemed.

Sometimes he is like a hidden master, showing his extraordinary talent in every gesture;

Sometimes he is like a wise man who has experienced many vicissitudes of life, with a look in his eyes that reveals a broad-mindedness that sees through the world. (End of this chapter)
