My Ares Son-in-Law

Xiao Chen leaned on the sofa, his originally lazy posture gradually becoming serious.

His eyes also became deep, as if hiding endless secrets.

"Because I want to see if you are willing to believe me."

He slowly turned his head to look at Yun Yuyan, with a barely perceptible tenderness in his eyes.

That tenderness is like a ray of warm sunshine in winter, warm yet with a hint of shyness.

"From the first time we met, you treated me like a worthless gigolo, your eyes were full of disgust and contempt."

"I just want to know when you can truly see me, see my abilities, and see my sincerity."

Yun Yuyan's heart trembled suddenly, and scenes from the past flashed through her mind like a movie.

She thought of all the humiliations she had inflicted on him, those harsh words, those disdainful looks.

At this moment, all those things were like sharp blades, piercing her heart fiercely.

Guilt surged into her heart like a tide, and her eyes couldn't help but redden.

Her voice became choked with sobs: "I'm sorry, I...I really went too far before. I shouldn't have treated you like that. I was blind and misjudged you."

Xiao Chen looked at her guilty expression, his heart softened, and he reached out and gently covered her mouth.

The warmth of that palm passed through her lips and reached her heart.

"No need to apologize. Now you believe me, don't you?"

His voice was low and gentle, as if it had a magical power that could soothe her inner panic.

His fingers slowly moved down and lightly brushed across her lips, the gentle movement like the brush of a feather.

This made her heart beat faster involuntarily.

Finally, he held her hand, and that warm and strong palm gave her an unprecedented sense of security.

"That prescription is just a gift from me to you. As for the complete formula..."

He suddenly pulled Yun Yuyan closer to him, their noses almost touching and they could hear each other's breathing clearly.

"It all depends on how sincere you are tonight."

There was an indescribable light in his eyes, which made Yun Yuyan's heart skip a beat.

Yun Yuyan's face instantly turned red like a ripe tomato, and the blush spread from her cheeks to her ears, like a gorgeous sunset in the sky.

She just felt hot all over, her heart was beating like a drum, and she was so panicked that she didn't know what to do.

She wanted to break free from Xiao Chen's embrace, but that warm embrace was like a huge magnet, attracting her tightly.

This made her reluctant to leave, as if once she left, she would lose this moment of warmth and security.

She lowered her head slightly and muttered softly, "You always take advantage of me... You are always so dishonest."

The voice was as thin as a mosquito, with a hint of coquettishness and shyness.

Looking at her like this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but burst into laughter, and his hearty laughter echoed in the room.

He used both hands to hold her tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.

"Same here. You've been giving me a hard time before. Now, it's your turn to coax me, the 'master of the prescription'. Maybe if I'm happy, I'll tell you the complete formula."

He teased her deliberately, his eyes full of teasing and doting. "You!"

Yun Yuyan was both embarrassed and annoyed. She raised her head and stared at him with wide eyes. There was both anger and helplessness in her eyes.

She raised her pink fist and hit his chest lightly, but the force was like tickling, which made Xiao Chen laugh even more happily.

"Hey, I'm just kidding you, don't take it seriously." The smile on Xiao Chen's lips suddenly disappeared, and the whole person seemed to have suddenly changed state.

He gently raised his hand, pushed Yun Yuyan who was leaning on him away, and placed his hands firmly on her shoulders.

His eyes instantly became focused and serious, as if the smiling person just now was not him.

He tilted his head back slightly and took a deep breath, looking as if he was trying to retrieve important information from his mind.

It was as if he was carefully organizing his words, preparing to say something that was extremely important to him.

When Yun Yuyan was pushed by Xiao Chen, she subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this noisy guy had finally calmed down.

But then, an inexplicable feeling of loss quietly came over me, as if there was a hole in my heart.

She frowned slightly, then quickly returned to normal and asked curiously, "What's the matter? Don't keep me in suspense."

Xiao Chen looked at Yun Yuyan with a hint of expectation in his eyes, and said slowly: "Is there any famous antique shop in this ancient city? Can you introduce it to me?"

Ever since he tried the miraculous cultivation effect brought by the antique at Liu's house last time, Xiao Chen has developed a strong interest in antiques.

He thought to himself that this ancient city was the oldest city in Dragon Country, with a profound historical heritage. There must be countless antiques and all kinds of antiques.

Maybe he can find more treasures here that can help him in his cultivation.

Yun Yuyan tilted her head and tapped her chin with her fingers. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I do know one called 'Qinrenxuan'."

Yun Yuyan knew clearly that this ancient city was neither big nor small, and there were a ton of shops selling antiques.

But there are only four or five restaurants that are really famous and have a good reputation, and Qinrenxuan is undoubtedly the most famous and prestigious one among them.

On a May afternoon, the sun was scorching, and the scorching sun mercilessly burned every inch of the West Street in the ancient city.

The asphalt road was softened by the sun and the air was filled with a hot and dry smell.

Xiao Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead. The sweat slid down his cheeks and wet his collar.

He turned into a small alley paved with blue bricks. The blue bricks under his feet had been polished by time to be as smooth as a mirror, and they had a faint luster under the sunlight.

From afar, a building with flying eaves and pointed corners comes into view, with its vermilion lacquered door half-open, as if telling people about its former glory and mystery.

Above the door lintel, an ebony plaque hangs high. The three large gold-plated characters "Qinrenxuan" sparkle in the sun. The font is vigorous and powerful, and there is an ancient atmosphere in the strokes.

When Xiao Chen got closer and took a look, he discovered that this was the authentic work of Lu Runxiang, the top scholar in the late Qing Dynasty. He couldn't help but admire it in his heart.

On both sides of the gate, a pair of stone lions squatted majestically, with a bronze incense burner under each of their feet.

In the incense burner, incense ash piled up, and a few wisps of green smoke rose up, swirling in the hot air, as if carrying a charm that traveled through time and space, making people feel as if they were in a bustling street in ancient times.

Outside the store, it was already packed with bustling crowds, and a long line was winding around like a sleeping dragon.

People hold folding fans painted with landscapes, flowers and birds, and gently fan them in an attempt to dispel the heat of May.

Or wearing a large sun hat with the brim pulled down low, revealing only half of the sunburned face. (End of this chapter)
