My Ares Son-in-Law

"Hey, what's this about? Is there a thief in the house? Why are you crying like a little cat?"

Xiao Chen deliberately teased in a light-hearted tone, but there was a barely perceptible concern in his eyes.

Yun Yuyan threw herself into his arms almost instantly, so quickly, as if she was afraid that Xiao Chen would disappear again in the next second.

She wrapped her arms tightly around his waist, as if she wanted to rub Xiao Chen into her body.

She buried her face in his warm chest, feeling his strong heartbeat. The familiar breath blowing on her face gradually calmed her originally panicked heart.

"You bastard! Why did you disappear so suddenly? Do you know how worried and scared I was?"

Her voice was tearful, and every word was filled with grievance and dependence, just like a lost child who finally found her family.

Xiao Chen was caught off guard by this sudden hug and his body froze instantly.

He felt the soft body in his arms, and the warm touch made his heart beat faster unconsciously, as if a deer was running rampant in his chest.

He cleared his throat, trying to make his voice sound calmer, and said jokingly: "I just went home, why do you miss me so much?"

"Your reaction is too exaggerated. If someone didn't know, they would think I had been missing for many years."

Yun Yuyan raised her head, and the tip of her nose almost touched Xiao Chen's lips.

Her eyes were red and full of anger. She glared at Xiao Chen and said, "How dare you joke! That prescription..."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly realized the overly close distance between them. Their breaths were so close, and their warm breath sprayed on each other's faces, making her cheeks instantly hot, as if they were roasted by fire.

She subconsciously took a step back, but was reluctant to completely leave Xiao Chen's arms.

Xiao Chen looked down at her blushing face; her shy look made his heart beat faster.

His Adam's apple rolled unconsciously, and he deliberately leaned close to her ear and whispered in a low and magnetic voice: "What's wrong with the prescription? Do you know its value now?"

"Who treated it as waste paper and almost destroyed it?"

The warm breath brushed past Yun Yuyan's ears, making her tremble all over and her heart beat even more violently.

Yun Yuyan's whole body trembled violently. Xiao Chen's warm breath was like an electric current, spreading along her neck to her whole body in an instant. The tingling feeling made her brain go blank in an instant.

She pushed Xiao Chen away quickly as if she had been electrocuted, turned around and ran into the room in a panic like a frightened deer.

But Xiao Chen would never let her escape so easily. He was quick-witted and stretched out his long arm, grabbing her wrist accurately.

The powerful hand clasped her tightly, as if holding the most precious treasure in the world, and with a gentle pull, he pulled her back into his arms.

The two bodies were pressed tightly together, without a single gap.

Yun Yuyan could clearly feel Xiao Chen's intense heartbeat. The "bang bang bang" sound, like drumbeats, hit her heart again and again.

She only felt her face burning hot, as if it could cook eggs, and her heartbeat was completely out of control, like a crazy little rabbit bumping around in her chest.

"You... let go!"

Yun Yuyan struggled and pushed Xiao Chen's chest with both hands, but her strength was like an ant trying to shake a tree in front of Xiao Chen, and it was completely useless.

Her voice was as soft as cotton, with a hint of shyness and panic, completely lacking her usual courage and strength. Xiao Chen looked down at her flustered eyes, which were full of shyness, panic and helplessness, like a deer lost in the forest.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a sly smile, which was teasing and playful: "Who said just now that I'm willing to do anything when I come back?"

"Does that still count? Huh?"

His fingers gently lifted her chin, the movement was gentle but with irresistible force, forcing her to look at him.

Yun Yuyan's mind went blank, and her usual eloquence disappeared without a trace.

She just felt that her thoughts had completely stagnated and she didn't know how to respond to Xiao Chen's words.

She bit her lips, her pink lips turned white from being bitten by her, her eyes darted around in panic, avoiding Xiao Chen's burning gaze, as if that gaze could see through her: "First... first explain the prescription!"

"That prescription is missing an ingredient. My father has issued a death order that we must find the complete formula. Otherwise, I... I will become a sinner of the family, and the group will be in crisis..."

Her voice was a little tearful, full of anxiety and helplessness.

"Otherwise you will be treated as a sinner, right?"

Xiao Chen let go of her and slowly walked to the sofa and sat down. His posture was lazy and casual, as if everything was under his control.

He picked up the apple on the coffee table, opened his mouth and took a big bite. The crisp chewing sound was particularly clear in the quiet room.

He stretched out his tone and looked at Yun Yuyan with a half-smile in his eyes. There were too many emotions hidden in his eyes, making it hard to understand: "Why should I tell you? This is my secret weapon."

Yun Yuyan stamped her feet anxiously, and her high heels made a crisp yet rapid sound when they hit the ground, as if it was a reflection of her panic at the moment.

"You! What do you want?"

Her eyes widened, filled with anxiety and helplessness, and her hands unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes, her knuckles turning white from the force.

Xiao Chen, however, seemed not to care about her anxiety at all. He slowly patted the empty seat beside him. His action was somewhat lazy and casual. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile: "Come and chat with me, and I will tell you."

"By the way..."

As he spoke, he looked Yun Yuyan up and down. His gaze was like an invisible ruler, slowly sweeping from the top of her head to her toes, and then from her toes back to her face, with a bit of scrutiny and ridicule, "Let me take a good look at how anxious you, the former 'great contributor', are now."

"Maybe seeing how anxious you are, I might get excited and tell you everything."

Yun Yuyan hesitated for a moment, feeling as if there were two little people arguing fiercely in her heart.

One said that she couldn't compromise so easily, but the other told her that the prescription was urgent and she couldn't hesitate any longer.

Eventually, the pressure of the prescription overcame her reserve, and she slowly sat down next to him.

Their shoulders touched accidentally, and at that moment, a strange electric current quickly spread throughout her body from the point of contact, making her shiver.

She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and mustered up the courage to ask, "Why did you give me such an expensive prescription?"

"And...why didn't you tell me this was real in the first place?"

"Do you know how much pressure I have endured because of this incident? I almost became the sinner of the family." (End of this chapter)
