My Ares Son-in-Law

Liu Yumei thought she could finally escape the past and live a life of luxury, the envy of everyone.

But today, Xiao Chen's few words shattered her beautiful dream, exposing her despicable and hypocritical nature to everyone.

Everything she had was ruined!
It's all Xiao Chen's fault!
Liu Yumei slowly raised her head, her gaze fixed on Xiao Chen, her eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness, as if she wanted to devour Xiao Chen alive.

Xiao Chen simply smiled faintly, completely ignoring her resentment. He turned to look at Zhou Keying, who was still in shock beside him, and his tone instantly softened as he softly said:

"Honey, let's not let their drama affect our mood. Let them make a scene, let's go."

After saying that, he gently took Zhou Keying's hand, and the warmth of his fingertips seeped through her skin, giving Zhou Keying a sense of reassurance.

He then walked straight toward the elevator, without giving the two people still entangled on the ground another glance.

Zhou Keying was pulled forward by Xiao Chen, but her mind was in turmoil of shock, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

How could Xiao Chen know so many of Liu Yumei's secrets?
Those were all old stories of Liu Yumei, some of which even she, her former classmate, didn't know, but Xiao Chen knew them all perfectly well, down to the smallest detail!

She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Xiao Chen beside her, her eyes filled with disbelief, her voice trembling slightly as she softly asked:
"Xiao Chen, you found out about all those things? How do you have such abilities?"

"I?"

Xiao Chen glanced down at her, a gentle smile playing on his lips. He casually made up an excuse and said in a relaxed tone:

“I don’t have that ability. I had a classmate who was cheated by Liu Yumei and has always held a grudge against her. Over the years, he has been secretly collecting dirt on her. It just so happens that I know him, and today he came in handy.”

As they spoke, the two reached the elevator entrance. The elevator doors slowly opened, and Xiao Chen pulled Zhou Keying inside.

Before Zhou Keying could recover from the shock, she saw Xiao Chen raise his hand and gently press the button on the top floor.

She was startled, and quickly spoke, her tone full of doubt and confusion:

"Top floor? Xiao Chen, you must have pressed the wrong button. Isn't the top floor Chaotianque? That private room isn't open to the public at all, and I heard it was booked by a mysterious tycoon a long time ago!"

Xiao Chen turned his head, looking at her tenderly with doting eyes, a mysterious smile playing on his lips: "You didn't press the wrong button, Keying. Tonight, let's go to the top floor."

Zhou Keying's mind went blank for a moment, and she completely lost the ability to think.

The top floor faces the Heavenly Palace?
That legendary private room that is only open to the public a few times a year, requires booking six months in advance, and is only available to the truly top-tier VIPs?

She had already heard that the top floor of Chaotianque Hotel had been booked by a mysterious tycoon tonight, and the whole provincial capital was talking about it.

It is said that a big shot is going to hold an important ceremony here. Even the media tried their best to find out the news, but to no avail. They couldn't even find out the identity of this mysterious tycoon.

How could Xiao Chen possibly have booked a table there? Even if he did have the ability, it would never be for her victory celebration!
She had only secured a project worth tens of billions; it wasn't enough to warrant Xiao Chen going to such lengths to book the entire top floor of Chaotianque. But the next second, a crazy yet irresistibly believable thought suddenly surged into Zhou Keying's mind... Could it be... could the mysterious person who booked Chaotianque be Xiao Chen?
Although this idea was absurd and completely different from Xiao Chen's usual "gold digger" image, at this moment, there was no other possibility but this explanation!
Thinking of this, Zhou Keying's heart started beating very fast, as if it was about to jump out of her throat, and her breathing became rapid.

Her cheeks flushed slightly, her eyes filled with shock and anticipation, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Xiao Chen, could it be... that you booked the entire top floor?"

Seeing her nervous yet expectant expression, Xiao Chen couldn't help but smile. His gaze was so tender it could melt hearts. He nodded gently and said earnestly:
"Yes, I booked it all. Tonight, I'm going to give you a surprise and throw you a special celebration banquet to celebrate my friend winning a multi-billion dollar project and shining brightly in his own right."

"what?"

Zhou Keying felt her mind go blank, completely stunned, all her thoughts were overwhelmed by shock, and she completely lost the ability to think.

If all of this is true, if the top floor of Chaotianque was really booked by Xiao Chen for her, then wouldn't she be the most enviable woman in the entire provincial capital tonight?
A tremendous sense of happiness and surprise instantly swept over her, making her eyes slightly sore and her heart pounding so fast it was almost out of control.

Before she could recover from this huge surprise and shock, the elevator doors slowly opened, and they arrived at the top floor.

At the elevator entrance stood a waiter in a high-end custom-made uniform, with an upright posture and a standard, respectful smile.

Upon seeing the two exit the elevator, he immediately bowed slightly and said in a respectful and proper tone:

"Mr. Xiao, Ms. Zhou, welcome to the top floor of Chaotianque. On behalf of all my colleagues at the restaurant, I wish Ms. Zhou continued success in her career and a bright future, and I also wish you both lasting friendship and all the best."

Xiao Chen waved his hand slightly, his tone casual and indifferent: "You can go down now. I'll call you if I need anything."

The waiter nodded respectfully, bowed, and retreated with light, silent steps.

As the waiter left, the entire top floor fell silent instantly, leaving only Xiao Chen, Zhou Keying, Yun Yuyan, and Ji Yin enveloped in this ultimate luxury and tranquility.

Zhou Keying remained standing at the elevator entrance, staring blankly at everything before her, her eyes unfocused, as if she were in a dream. Even her breathing became cautious, as if afraid of disturbing this unreal beauty.

Above is a completely transparent glass dome, offering an unobstructed view of the provincial capital's night sky.

The sky was filled with countless stars, like scattered diamonds, dazzling the dome. The evening breeze blew gently through the vents, carrying a slight coolness, yet making people feel very comfortable.

Beneath your feet is a crystal-clear glass floor, making you feel as if you are suspended in mid-air, with the lights of the entire city slowly spreading out beneath you.

The bustling traffic, flashing neon lights, and dazzling lights offer a panoramic view of the city's prosperity and romance.

The panoramic glass curtain walls on all sides frame the staggered city night view into a series of flowing paintings. Amidst the interplay of light and shadow, it is hard to tell whether one is above the clouds or in the human world.

In the center of the top floor stood a long solid wood dining table, its surface flickering with candlelight, casting a warm, golden glow that gently illuminated every corner. (End of Chapter)
