My Ares Son-in-Law

The two bodyguards weren't unwilling to move; they simply couldn't!
That invisible force was like a towering mountain, with overwhelming pressure, firmly suppressing them to the ground.

Every inch of skin and every muscle felt as if it were being pierced by countless steel needles, or as if it were being pressed down by a heavy mountain; even lifting a finger had become a luxury.

They struggled desperately to break free from the force's hold, but each effort was in vain, only intensifying their suffering.

Chen Ziyan was absolutely furious!

She felt a surge of anger rush from the depths of her heart to her head, instantly burning away all her reason.

Her eyes were wide open, bloodshot, as if they were about to spit fire.

Her hands were clenched into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, yet she felt no pain.

She turned around abruptly, the movement so large it almost snapped her neck, venting all her resentment on the man who remained calmly seated in the car—Xiao Chen, that handsome face that she hated to the core!
"Xiao Chen! You..."

Chen Ziyan roared through gritted teeth, each word seemingly squeezed out from between her teeth, filled with endless hatred and anger.

Her voice was sharp and piercing, as if it were about to tear through the silent air.

She wished she could devour the man in front of her alive to vent her hatred.

Her insults had barely left her lips, and the venomous words were still echoing in the air.

next second!
A large, long, and powerful hand with distinct knuckles, like an iron clamp that appeared out of nowhere, gripped her delicate and fragile throat with perfect precision without warning!
The hand moved with lightning speed, leaving no time to react.

His fingers gripped her neck tightly, his nails turning white from the force, as if he wanted to crush her throat.

"Well--!"

All of Chen Ziyan's unfinished vicious curses were instantly cut off deep in her throat!

She felt as if a huge rock was blocking her throat, making it extremely difficult to breathe.

Instead, there was a painful, short whimper, weak and mournful, like the final cry of a wounded animal.

icy!

The chill emanated from that large hand, spreading rapidly along her skin throughout her body, causing her to shiver involuntarily.

asphyxia!

The air in my lungs was instantly sucked out, like a punctured balloon that lost all support.

She opened her mouth wide, trying to inhale more air, but could only manage a faint, bloody breath.

The excruciating pain, accompanied by overwhelming fear, engulfed her like a tsunami!
Her vision began to darken, her head became dizzy, and her body began to sway uncontrollably, as if she would collapse at any moment.

She tried to struggle and resist, but found herself powerless and could only watch helplessly as she sank into endless despair.

Her eyes widened in terror. Her once bright and proud eyes were now filled with extreme fear, her eyeballs almost bulging out of their sockets, as if they would roll out at any moment.

Her pupils contracted sharply as she stared intently at the man before her, as if she were seeing the most terrifying demon in the world.

She saw that Xiao Chen, who had been lazily leaning back in the driver's seat with a somewhat nonchalant look in his eyes, had somehow appeared silently in front of her like a ghost.

His speed was so fast it was like a ghost, leaving her completely unaware. And the arm that gripped her throat was as strong and powerful as if it were made of steel, lifting her entirely into the air as if she were just a weightless doll.

Get your feet off the ground!

Suspended in mid-air!

Chen Ziyan felt as if she had completely lost control of her body, like a leaf drifting in a storm, helpless and desperate.

She was like a chicken with its neck choked, kicking her legs in vain. Her once elegant and delicate legs were kicking wildly in the air, but she couldn't find any foothold.

Her hands frantically scratched at Xiao Chen's arms, her nails like sharp knives, leaving white marks on his strong forearms, but Xiao Chen's arms were like a rock, unmoving and unshakable.

Her carefully styled hair came tangled up completely during the struggle, her jet-black hair falling over her shoulders like a mess, obscuring her originally delicate and beautiful face.

The expensive Chanel suit became disheveled during her frantic struggle, the collar askew and the skirt wrinkled and clung to her body, completely losing its former nobility and elegance.

One of her expensive red-soled high heels was lost in the chaos, lying forlornly on the ground, as if telling of her current disheveled and miserable state.

crazy!

Only this one thought remained in Chen Ziyan's mind; her reason had been completely consumed by fear.

This guy... how dare he treat her like that?!

She could hardly believe her eyes, she couldn't believe that what was happening before her eyes was real.

broad daylight!

In public!

This is the entrance to Yunqi Lifestyle Center, one of the most bustling and lively places in the ancient city, with a constant stream of people coming and going.

How dare he lift her off the ground by the neck as if he were crushing an ant?!
Isn't he afraid of getting into trouble?

Aren't you afraid of retaliation from the Chen family?
She is Chen Ziyan!

The only daughter of the Chen family in the ancient city!
In the ancient city, the Chen family was a symbol of power and influence, a family that countless people looked up to.

She lived a pampered life from a young age, enjoying the adulation and flattery of others.

She was the city's top socialite, always the center of attention wherever she went, and always surrounded by a group of sycophants.

Her status, her beauty, and her family background are the capital that allows her to act recklessly!
She considers it perfectly natural for her to humiliate others; in her view, those at the bottom of society are like ants, utterly unworthy of her respect.

She considers it perfectly natural for her to call others trash, because she thinks she is superior and that others have no choice but to bow down to her.

She never fails to get what she wants, whether it's expensive jewelry or a luxurious lifestyle; as long as she asks, people will vie to bring it to her.

But... ever since fate brought Xiao Chen, a man who seemed to be her nemesis from birth, into her life, all the pride she once possessed was ruthlessly trampled underfoot and shattered into pieces, like fragile glass!
Looking back on those days, Chen Ziyan, as the daughter of the Chen family, was outstanding in appearance and elegant in temperament. Wherever she went, she was the focus of attention. Countless boys flocked to her, and flattery and fawning words were endless.

But what about Xiao Chen?

He was like a cold stone, completely oblivious to her affections. (End of Chapter)
