My Ares Son-in-Law

Liu Jianming wants to leave his own brilliant mark on the world business stage and make everyone remember his name!

Meanwhile, at the Central Hospital of the ancient city, the smell of disinfectant permeated every corner, and the pungent odor made people frown.

This smell may be commonplace for those who work here, but for first-time visitors, it is an unbearable torment.

As Xiao Chen stepped out of the inpatient building, a gust of hot wind hit him, making him wipe away his sweat, but at the same time it invigorated him.

He took a deep breath of the warm air, feeling as if all his fatigue had been swept away by the hot wind.

Yun Yuyan's mother's surgery went exceptionally smoothly, which brought him immense relief.

For this surgery, a senior figure from the medical alliance personally oversaw the operation. He is a highly respected senior in the medical field with rich clinical experience and superb medical skills.

With him there, it's like having the safest lock on the surgery.

In addition, Xiao Chen used his miraculous healing skills, employing his unique medical techniques and magical spiritual power to infuse the old man's body with vitality and life.

Thanks to their joint efforts, the elderly person is now out of danger and only needs to rest for a period of time to recover.

As Xiao Chen walked, he planned to go back to the villa and have Yun Yuyan cook him a nice meal to reward his tired stomach.

He thought of Yun Yuyan's gentle and virtuous appearance, and the delicious food she had carefully prepared. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly, revealing a happy smile.

He quickened his pace and headed towards the villa, his heart filled with anticipation.

Just as I turned the corner of the outpatient building, a series of crisp yet rapid high heels clicking on the ground, like a dense drumbeat, came from afar.

The sound echoed in the empty hospital corridor, as if it carried a force that couldn't wait to break the silence.

"Xiao Chen?!"

With this surprised shout, Yun Yuyan's familiar figure appeared in Xiao Chen's sight.

She walked briskly, her skirt swaying gently with her movements, like a flower swaying in the spring breeze.

Beside her stood Zhou Keying, dressed in a long, off-white dress.

The dress was made of soft material and had smooth lines, which made her figure look even more slender.

She maintained her aloof and elegant demeanor, like a plum blossom in winter, exuding a cold and aloof beauty that kept people at a distance.

However, upon closer inspection, one can see a hint of weariness in her eyes, as if she had experienced a long and arduous journey.

"What are you doing here? Did you come to see my mother?" Yun Yuyan walked quickly to Xiao Chen, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes full of doubt. Her gaze was like a clear lake, making people want to explore what was going on.

She tilted her head slightly, waiting for Xiao Chen's answer, her face full of expectation and confusion.

Xiao Chen shrugged, the movement relaxed and casual, as if he were facing something perfectly ordinary.

His gaze swept over Zhou Keying, whose expression was somewhat complicated. There seemed to be a different kind of emotion hidden in Zhou Keying's cool eyes, which made his heart stir slightly.

He casually said, "The hospital notified me that my aunt is having surgery today."

"As the son-in-law, I should at least show my respect and make my presence known, shouldn't I?"

His tone was playful and teasing, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a mischievous smile, as if he was deliberately trying to make Yun Yuyan happy.

Yun Yuyan's pretty face instantly flushed red, the blush spreading from her cheeks to her ears, as delicate and luscious as a ripe apple.

She hurriedly turned to Zhou Keying, her eyes filled with panic and embarrassment, and stammered, "President Zhou! Don't listen to his nonsense!" "That's not true!"

"Last time... last time was to deal with my awful relatives, I had him pretend to be them at the last minute!"

"Fake!"

"all fake!"

Her voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible, and her hands unconsciously clenched together, revealing her inner tension and unease.

Zhou Keying's cool eyes swept over Xiao Chen, her gaze filled with scrutiny and amusement.

Her gaze was like a sharp blade, as if she wanted to see right through Xiao Chen.

A half-smile curved her lips, a hint of mockery and ridicule in her smile, and her voice carried a chilling edge: "Oh? Pretending to be your boyfriend?"

"Xiao Chen, it seems you're quite skilled at this. Your luck with women lately... is really good?"

These barbed words sent a chill down Xiao Chen's spine, and he felt a coldness rush from the soles of his feet to his head.

Well, this lady is still holding a grudge about what happened at the coffee shop.

He couldn't help but groan inwardly, and the memory of his unpleasant experience with Zhou Keying in the coffee shop gave him a headache.

Come to think of it, he was the "future son-in-law of the Yun family" in front of Yun Yuyan's family, but almost became the "future son-in-law of the Zhou family" in front of Zhou Keying's mother... This switching of identities is a bit too frequent, just like an actor running back and forth between different film crews, playing various different roles.

He touched his nose helplessly, his eyes revealing a hint of embarrassment and helplessness.

"Ahem, it's a misunderstanding, it's all for work." Xiao Chen coughed dryly, his voice as if a feather was stuck in his throat, trying to get away with this slightly awkward opening line.

He lowered his head slightly, his eyes darting away, not daring to meet the sharp gazes of Yun Yuyan and Zhou Keying.

"Now that Auntie is alright, you can go inside. I'll head back to the villa first."

“Miss Yun,” he looked up at Yun Yuyan, his eyes filled with undisguised expectation, an expectation as bright and ardent as the stars twinkling in the night sky, “Remember to come back soon, I’ve been craving braised chicken for days.”

"The big plate chicken is bright red, the chicken is tender and juicy, the potatoes are soft, sweet and fragrant, and it's served with chewy noodles. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water."

As he spoke, he unconsciously licked his lips, as if the delicious braised chicken was right in front of him.

After he finished speaking, as if afraid that Yun Yuyan would refuse, he turned around and was about to leave.

His hurried steps stirred up a small gust of air, as if something terrible was chasing him from behind.

"Wait a minute!" Yun Yuyan hurriedly called out to him. Her voice was clear and loud, echoing in the quiet hospital corridor.

She quickly walked up to Xiao Chen and stretched out her arm to block his way.

Xiao Chen turned around in confusion, his brows furrowed slightly, his eyes filled with bewilderment.

He stopped and looked at Yun Yuyan, waiting for her to continue.

Yun Yuyan was seen rummaging through her handbag, which was small and exquisite, but seemed to contain quite a few things.

She frowned, rummaged through her bag for a while, and finally pulled out a key. (End of Chapter)
