Immortal Emperor's Life As A Son-in-law

Ruan Hongyu curled her lips and smiled when she heard him. She said lightly, "Is this still some kind of secret?"    

    

Xiao Chen was slightly stunned. He recalled all the things that happened in Yanjing and agreed with Ruan Hongyu's words.    

    

Indeed, since the Zheng family and Xue family already knew about it, it was only a matter of time before the other families found out about it.    

    

"I can count you in, but don't mention what you just said in the future!"    

    

"I'm serious!" Ruan Hongyu did not think it was a big deal. She glanced at Xiao Chen meaningfully.    

    

"Are you serious?" Xiao Chen snorted. "No matter what you do, it will be very uncomfortable for Xiangjun."    

    

"Not necessarily!" Ruan Hongyu chuckled and glanced outside the door.    

    

Xiao Chen was not in the mood to continue this topic with her. He looked at the sky and glanced at the dinner that was ready to be served.    

    

His previously good mood had been ruined by this mess and he no longer had the mood to enjoy dinner.    

    

He stood up with a whoosh. Xiao Chen did not greet him. He still took a step forward and turned towards the door.    

    

Ruan Hongyu did not want to keep him and went to the table to eat.    

    

In the courtyard, Ruan Xiangjun was squatting at the door with her head lowered and her shoulders shaking.    

    

When she heard the footsteps behind her, she did not look up.    

    

Xiao Chen looked at her and sighed helplessly. He slowly walked behind her and extended his hand to pat her shoulder hesitantly.    

    

"Don't worry. I have already explained it to your mother. There will never be such a thing in the future!"    

    

Xiao Chen said it seriously. In fact, he had long since gotten used to this kind of thing.    

    

But after all, Ruan Xiangjun had helped him, and this time it involved himself, so he could not sit by and do nothing.    

    

Slowly raising her head, Ruan Xiangjun gritted her teeth and looked at his expression.    

    

Compared to the pure anger just now, the hidden resentment in her eyes at this moment made Xiao Chen somewhat at a loss.    

    

"Am I that bad? Even if I don't have a good reputation, I still won't be able to enter your eyes?"    

    

The sudden question stunned Xiao Chen.    

    

He looked at her teary face and mumbled his lips. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.    

    

"I... I didn't mean it that way. What happened to you?"    

    

After a while, Xiao Chen finally came back to his senses. He looked at her gently and asked in a low voice.    

    

Ruan Xiangjun did not answer, but the tears in her eyes were even more turbulent.    

    

Looking at her crying appearance, Xiao Chen was at a loss for what to do for a moment.    

    

Of course, he was not naive enough to think that Ruan Xiangjun really liked him. She was even willing to compromise for him.    

    

Indeed, if it was just a good impression, Ruan Xiangjun still had some feelings for him.    

    

But whether or not that good impression was like, she herself wasn't sure.    

    

She just felt aggrieved!    

    

The matter that her mother mentioned today had almost completely hurt her sensitive and fragile self-esteem.    

    

She had never considered herself to be a proud son of heaven, but she had never belittled herself. And she had never thought that she was worse than any other girl!    

    

But now, her mother wanted to give her to someone else as a wife, but the person who gave her to her wasn't willing to accept it.    

    

What was this?    

    

She couldn't understand!    

    

Suffering, unwillingness, anger, hatred! Then all the emotions intertwined together, and finally, she couldn't help but cry.    

    

And what she was most unwilling to admit was the thing that she had ignored for an indefinite period of time.    

    

It turned out that her fate was still not in her hands. After all, she was merely a tool in her mother's hands.    

    

This time, Xiao Chen rejected it, but what about next time?    

    

She could not imagine, nor dare to imagine!    

    

It was also at this moment that the fear in her heart quietly spread, causing her to cry even more sadly.    

    

The sobbing sound accompanied by the dripping of tears rolled down.    

    

Xiao Chen's expression was complicated and conflicted, and his apology was written all over his face.    

    

"Tell me, what part of me is not good enough for you!"    

    

Xiao Chen became Ruan Xiangjun's only punching bag. He reached out and grabbed his collar, venting his dissatisfaction and uneasiness.    

    

She did not notice it herself, but these words sounded completely different in Xiao Chen's ears.    

    

Staring at her in a daze, Xiao Chen's expression changed again and again.    

    

He thought to himself, "It can't be. Even if I'm handsome and handsome, I've only met her a few times. It shouldn't be to the extent of that, right?"    

    

As he thought in his heart, Xiao Chen even narcissistically said it.    

    

With a solemn expression, he said, "Of course not! It's just that you are worth a better person."    

    

Lightly grabbing her palm, Xiao Chen thought that he was serious and said. He totally did not realize that he had misunderstood.    

    

Ruan Xiangjun was like a deflated ball and immediately went soft.    

    

Better? The dignified young master actually said better to her. This was like a sarcastic remark.    

    

At this moment, she was thinking about those useless silkpants she had seen in the past.    

    

Thinking about how she might be stuffed into such a person's hands in the future, she felt as if her vision had turned black. She fell into the despair that she had created.    

    

"Are you alright?"    

    

Xiao Chen reached out and grabbed her arm, asking worriedly.    

    

He looked at his concerned eyes, listened to his gentle tone, and then looked at his handsome face.    

    

Ruan Xiangjun's black eyes fiercely flashed.    

    

When a person was trapped in the darkness and could not find a way out, they would instinctively grab the thing closest to them.    

    

At that moment, she suddenly had a strange thought. Maybe it would be better if she followed him!    

    

Seeing that she was stunned, Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes. He looked at her suspiciously and said, "Are you okay?"    

    

Quickly avoiding his gaze, Ruan Xiangjun supported her body and pulled away from him.    

    

A clear red glow quietly covered under the tear stains on her face.    

    

But she did not answer Xiao Chen's question. She flung her hand and then hurriedly turned her head and rushed back to the villa.    

    

Watching her back disappear, Xiao Chen scratched his head gloomily, but did not think too much about it. He turned around and left.    

    

When they arrived at the hotel, the sky was already dark.    

    

Thinking of the meeting tomorrow, Xiao Chen rubbed his somewhat swollen head.    

    

He propped himself up on the bed and turned around for a while before falling asleep unknowingly.    

    

When he woke up the next day, the sky was already bright. He packed up and ate breakfast before taking a taxi to rush to the venue.    

    

The reporters and media had already received the news that so many scientists were gathered at one time. They were naturally preparing for it.    

    

Xiao Chen took out the invitation letter and entered the venue very easily.    

    

At this moment, there were already many people sitting in the venue. There were many things mixed in, and they were chatting about something in groups of three to five.    

    

Xiao Chen found his seat, hugged his hands, and immediately closed his glasses.    

    

It was obvious that he was telling those people not to provoke him, but there were always people with poor eyesight.    

    

In less than half a minute, someone walked to his side. When they saw the nameplate in front of him, they immediately grabbed his hand in excitement.    

    

"Hello, I'm Awes. Nice to meet you!"
