My Ares Son-in-Law

That one word, "husband," was like a nuclear bomb exploding out of nowhere, creating a storm in Chen Ziyan's mind.

Chen Ziyan felt a buzzing sound in her head, as if she had been hit hard by a heavy hammer, and she was completely stunned.

She couldn't believe her ears; Zhou Keying was actually calling Xiao Chen "husband"!
How can this be?

In her mind, Xiao Chen was just an ordinary person, while Zhou Keying was the heiress of the Zhou Group, a high-ranking princess. How could there be such a relationship between them?
Xiao Chen's body stiffened almost imperceptibly. Even with his strong will and experience of countless trials and tribulations, he was still taken aback by Zhou Keying's sudden, highly contrasting intimate address and gentle voice.

A strange current shot through his ears and into his heart, causing his heart to beat faster involuntarily.

He turned his head and met Zhou Keying's clear, watery eyes, which were so close to his.

At this moment, the coldness and majesty that she had shown when facing Chen Ziyan were gone from her beautiful eyes. Instead, they held a hint of cunning and liveliness, and she winked at him as if she could speak, her eyes full of playfulness and smugness.

Clearly, Zhou Keying was deliberately using this method to help him out of a difficult situation.

She knew that Chen Ziyan had been targeting Xiao Chen, and wanted to use this method to make Chen Ziyan back down, or rather, to put on an even more ruthless show of "identity crushing" for Chen Ziyan.

She wanted Chen Ziyan to know that Xiao Chen was Zhou Keying's man, not someone Chen Ziyan could bully or provoke at will.

Xiao Chen instantly understood the deeper meaning behind Zhou Keying's series of intimate actions.

Although with his strength and past experience, he is no longer afraid of any storms in this world and does not need others to "support" him in this way.

No matter what kind of powerful enemy he faces, or what kind of complex and difficult predicament he is in, he has enough confidence and ability to deal with it calmly.

But this scene before him was Zhou Keying's way of showing her affection and protecting him in her own unique way. How could he not understand this sentiment?

The corners of his mouth curved slightly, a barely perceptible arc, like a flower quietly blooming in spring, carrying a hint of gentleness and smile.

He didn't expose Zhou Keying's little scheme; instead, he nodded in agreement, his usually cold voice softening slightly as he spoke softly:

"Okay, go home."

That voice, like the warm sun in winter, gently bathed Zhou Keying's heart.

After saying that, he let Zhou Keying hold his arm tightly.

Zhou Keying's hands were soft and warm, pressed tightly against his arm, conveying a unique sense of security.

The two were very intimate, as if the whole world had shrunk to just the two of them. They turned around and walked toward Xiao Chen's black SUV, oblivious to everyone else.

Zhou Keying tilted her head slightly, resting her forehead gently on Xiao Chen's shoulder. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her face was filled with a happy and content smile, looking like a little bird nestled against someone, as if Xiao Chen was her most solid support in this life. The setting sun gradually sank in the west, and the orange-red afterglow, like a golden veil, gently sprinkled on the earth, casting long shadows of the two of them.

Their shadows intertwined intimately on the ground, sometimes nestled together, sometimes gently entwined, creating an extremely glaring yet incredibly "harmonious" scene.

To outsiders, they might appear to be an extremely loving couple, immersed in their sweet world and enjoying this wonderful time.

Only Chen Ziyan remained, completely petrified.

She was struck as if by an invisible bolt of lightning, frozen in place, her feet seemingly nailed to the ground, unable to move an inch.

Her eyes were wide open, almost popping out of their sockets, and her mouth was slightly open but no sound came out, as if time had been paused for her at that moment.

Her mind went blank; she had completely lost the ability to think, and the word "husband" she had just heard kept echoing in her head.

husband? !
Zhou Keying... Zhou Keying actually called Xiao Chen... husband?!
How can this be? !
This is absolutely impossible! !
In her heart, Zhou Keying was always a high and mighty figure, the princess of the Zhou family, with an incomparably noble status, like the most dazzling star in the night sky, unattainable.

How could she possibly... how could she possibly be interested in a man like Xiao Chen, who comes from an ordinary background and is now so down on his luck that he works as a waiter in the ancient city?

The difference in their status was as vast as the difference between clouds and mud, like the contrast between a brilliant star and a speck of dust in the vast universe!
Zhou Keying was once incredibly successful. Born into a prestigious family, she enjoyed abundant resources and endless pampering from a young age.

Under the careful cultivation of her family, she possesses outstanding talent and elegant temperament. Whether in social occasions or in the business world, she shines like a dazzling pearl, radiating remarkable brilliance. She is undoubtedly a favored daughter of heaven in the eyes of everyone.

As for Xiao Chen, he may have had his own glory in the past, but now he is like dust on the ground, ordinary and insignificant.

He comes from an ordinary background and has no powerful family background to support him. Now he is so down on his luck that he works as a waiter in the ancient city, struggling to make a living every day and struggling at the bottom of society.

These two people, one standing on a cloud, overlooking the world's prosperity and hustle; the other mired in the mire, struggling under the heavy pressure of life, are from two completely different worlds, like two parallel lines that will never intersect.

The Zhou family is a top-tier wealthy family in the western region, with a profound family heritage and extensive influence, holding a pivotal position in both the business and political circles.

They have always valued family reputation and social standing, so would they agree to the marriage between Zhou Keying and Xiao Chen?
This is impossible!
In the eyes of the elders in the Zhou family, Xiao Chen, with his status, didn't even have the right to step into the Zhou family's gate, let alone marry Zhou Keying.

But... how do you explain this jarring yet intimate scene before your eyes?!
Zhou Keying held Xiao Chen's arm tightly, leaning slightly towards him, her face beaming with a happy and sweet smile, and gently calling out "husband" in a voice as soft and tender as a spring breeze.

This sudden scene was like a bombshell, exploding in Chen Ziyan's world and completely disrupting her rhythm!
Chen Ziyan meticulously planned her revenge against Xiao Chen for a long time.

She used her family's connections and resources to set up seemingly foolproof traps, waiting for Xiao Chen to step into them step by step, so that he would be ruined and suffer endless pain and torment.

However, Zhou Keying's appearance and her earth-shattering actions were like a whirlwind, instantly crushing her meticulously crafted revenge plan into nothingness. (End of Chapter)
