My Ares Son-in-Law

Almost instinctively, Zhou Keying slammed her hand down hard, slamming the coffee cup down.

The bottom of the cup collided with the saucer, producing a crisp and loud sound that seemed particularly abrupt in the otherwise quiet atmosphere.

The sound caused the woman sitting opposite to frown slightly, and she subconsciously looked up at Zhou Keying, her eyes full of dissatisfaction and doubt.

However, Zhou Keying was too preoccupied with all of that to care about anything else; her thoughts were already on the figure that haunted her dreams.

"Auntie! Wait for me!"

Zhou Keying hurriedly dropped a sentence, not caring about her second aunt's instantly displeased look, which seemed to be filled with reproach and incomprehension, but she had no time to care at the moment.

Like a bird breaking free from its cage, she was filled with freedom and eagerness, and she got up and ran out of the coffee shop.

Her steps were hurried, and the hem of her skirt swayed gently with her movements, as if cheering for her eagerness.

"Xiao Chen! Xiao Chen! You stop right there!"

A clear, slightly urgent female voice came from behind Xiao Chen.

The sound, like a bolt of lightning suddenly flashing across the night sky, made Xiao Chen pause in his steps.

He sighed helplessly and slowly turned around.

At this moment, Zhou Keying had caught up with him.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed from the jogging, like a beautiful sunset glow on the horizon, lovely and captivating.

Her chest rose and fell slightly, carrying a pleasant, faint fragrance, like flowers blooming in spring, fresh and captivating.

"what?"

Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow, a hint of teasing in his eyes, as he looked at her slightly disheveled hair from running.

Strands of hair playfully clung to her cheeks, adding to her charm and cuteness.

He deliberately used a slightly "disdainful" tone to say, "President Zhou is so busy with work, how come he still has time to chase after me for coffee?"

"I don't have time to spend with you."

"you!"

Zhou Keying was taken aback by his tone, and her beautiful almond-shaped eyes widened instantly, filled with both anger and grievance.

Zhou Keying is a well-known figure in the entire western region, with suitors lining up from one end of the street to the other. When has she ever been so "avoided"?

An unnamed anger, mixed with inexplicable grievances, surged into her heart like a tide.

She looked around and saw a bustling scene with people coming and going, each with a different expression on their face, but she couldn't care less about that at the moment.

She straightened her back, raised her chin slightly, and with a defiant and arrogant air, said loudly, "Stop talking nonsense! I haven't even settled the score with you for sleeping with me before!"

"You think you can just walk away like that? Not so easy!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen's lips twitched uncontrollably. He put on an extremely innocent look, spread his hands, and said helplessly, "President Zhou, could you please try to recall things more clearly?"

"That's clearly my bed, my room, and I was sleeping soundly there."

"Strictly speaking, you took advantage of my unconscious state and forcibly 'slept' with me."

"I haven't even asked you for compensation for emotional distress, and you're already accusing me first! What kind of nonsense is this?" "I don't care!"

Two deeper blushes instantly appeared on Zhou Keying's fair, snow-white cheeks, whether from anger or embarrassment, it was hard to tell.

Her beautiful big eyes darted around, a sly glint in them, as if she'd suddenly thought of something. She exclaimed, "It was you who slept with me!"

"Now I'm giving you a chance to redeem yourself. Do me a small favor, and we'll call it even, how about it?"

"What a great deal!"

As she spoke, she deliberately took a step closer, her faint perfume wafting out, carrying a hint of seduction, as if she was certain that Xiao Chen would agree.

"not so good."

Xiao Chen didn't even lift her eyelids, and refused without hesitation. After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave, saying as she walked away, "I don't have time to play your boring games."

Goodbye, and stop bothering me.

"Xiao Chen!"

Zhou Keying was now in a panic, inwardly complaining about how stubborn this person was.

Seeing that Xiao Chen was about to leave again, she panicked and forgot all about her image and restraint. Like a gust of wind, she rushed forward and grabbed Xiao Chen's arm tightly with both hands. Her strength was so great that it seemed as if she was afraid that Xiao Chen would disappear if she let go.

Because of her large movements, she inevitably pressed herself tightly against Xiao Chen's strong arm.

Xiao Chen's body stiffened instantly, as if an electric current had traveled from his arm throughout his entire body.

Zhou Keying, however, was completely unaware of this, or rather, at this moment, her desire to "catch him" had completely overwhelmed everything else.

She clung tightly to his arm like a koala, her face tilted back, her eyes stubborn yet with a touch of reckless arrogance, and she threatened loudly, "You're not allowed to leave! You have to help me today!"

"Otherwise I'll... I'll scream 'molestation'! Then everyone will see if you'll still have the face to stay here!"

Xiao Chen was completely speechless. He felt a buzzing in his head and his temples began to throb.

He lowered his head helplessly, his gaze falling on Zhou Keying, who was clinging tightly to his arm.

At this moment, she had lost all the composure and demeanor that a group president should have; she was just like a little girl throwing a tantrum on the street.

She gripped Xiao Chen's arm tightly with both hands, her nails turning white from the force, her face showing a stubborn determination to achieve her goal.

Xiao Chen could even feel the various gazes cast by the pedestrians around him, gazes full of curiosity and inquiry, as if they were a pair of actors putting on a wonderful drama.

In broad daylight, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xiao Chen was both annoyed and amused to be harassed by a woman in such an awkward way. He couldn't help but think to himself: This woman... she really will stop at nothing to achieve her goals!

Meanwhile, in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the second-floor coffee shop, Zhou Keying's second aunt—the elegant and graceful Zhou Fenfang—was quietly holding a teacup, her gaze as cold as an icicle, piercing through the glass and fixed directly on the intertwined figures of the two.

Her eyes were devoid of any warmth, as if they could freeze the surrounding air.

"Ke Ying, who is this man?"

Suddenly, a cold female voice pierced the air like an ice pick, causing Zhou Keying and Xiao Chen to freeze simultaneously.

Xiao Chen was about to explain that it was just a misunderstanding, but before he could even open his mouth, Zhou Keying suddenly changed her position as if grasping at a straw. (End of Chapter)
