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

It could be said that Xiao Chen would not stop until he finished his words.    

    

Not only did he reject Ruan Hongyu's proposal, he also shamelessly asked her to join that troublesome Merchant Union.    

    

Ruan Hongyu was amused by Xiao Chen's big tone. She just smiled and laughed, and her face sank.    

    

"I don't think this is a solution!"    

    

"That's just what you think!" Xiao Chen sneered and sat down on his chair.    

    

"So there's no room for negotiation?" Ruan Hongyu rubbed her head and pretended to sigh.    

    

After she finished speaking, she no longer had the pleasant expression from before and coldly swept her face over Xiao Chen's face.    

    

Their eyes met, as if there were flames shooting out in the air, but no one turned their eyes away first.    

    

Thump, thump, thump. A burst of rapid footsteps pulled the two's attention back.    

    

Then, Ruan Xiangjun rushed in hastily.    

    

The moment she entered, she noticed the exceptionally oppressive atmosphere in the study and her expression immediately changed.    

    

"Mom!" she called. Then she bit her lips and looked at Xiao Chen apologetically.    

    

Without greeting Xiao Chen, she rushed to Ruan Hongyu and held her mother's arm and walked out.    

    

Her reproachful eyes stared at Ruan Hongyu's face, but Ruan Hongyu pretended not to see it.    

    

Ruan Hongyu stopped when she was about to leave the house. She looked back at Xiao Chen indifferently and said with a smile, "I wanted to see that Director Chu, but since it is not a coincidence, let's do it next time. Tell her that I am looking forward to meeting her."    

    

It was a normal sentence, but with her expression, it sounded as awkward and awkward as it could be.    

    

Obviously, she was telling Xiao Chen to teach Chu Huaiyu a lesson the next time they met.    

    

Indeed, with the current Red Association's influence, they really did not put the Chu's in their eyes.    

    

Not only Xiao Chen, Ruan Xiangjun also understood the meaning of her mother's words.    

    

When she noticed Xiao Chen's gloomy expression, Ruan Xiangjun pursed her lips and her face turned pale.    

    

This might be the thing that she was least willing to see in her life.    

    

"Mom, you..."    

    

"Since you've already thanked me, I won't bother you anymore. Let's go!"    

    

This time, there was no need for Ruan Xiangjun to pull, Ruan Hongyu took the initiative to walk out.    

    

However, with just one sentence, it also cut off all the grudges and grudges from before.    

    

Ruan Xiangjun's face suddenly turned pale and her eyes widened as she looked at Xiao Chen's face.    

    

She wanted to explain something, but before she could say it, she was dragged out by her mother.    

    

Even when the door was closed, she still turned her head and looked into the study.    

    

However, there was only Xiao Chen's indifferent and cold face inside.    

    

An inexplicable sourness, wrapped in an indescribable sadness, quietly climbed onto Ruan Xiangjun's chest.    

    

Seeing the mother and daughter leave, Lau Ruman could not help but blink her eyes, but her face could not hide her confusion.    

    

Xiao Chen was still sitting in the study room, reaching out his hand to rub his head hard and sighed in a low voice.    

    

He did not expect Ruan Hongyu to be so impatient and actually came to declare war on him.    

    

Thinking back to Ruan Xiangjun's expression before she left, he had mixed feelings in his heart.    

    

"Forget it, perhaps this is even better!" Taking a breath, he put his palm down from his forehead.    

    

He turned his head to look at the sky outside the door. After an unknown period of time, it was the ringing of a phone that woke him up.    

    

Seeing the familiar number flashing on the screen, Xiao Chen hesitated for a long time before answering the call.    

    

He tried to squeeze out a smile and said gently to the other side, "Xiangjun, what's wrong?"    

    

"Xiao Chen, I, I want to talk to you!"    

    

"This..." Xiao Chen hesitated.    

    

Since Ruan Hongyu had already told him to cut off all ties of gratitude, meeting Ruan Xiangjun at this time would only make it difficult for Ruan Xiangjun.    

    

"Are we not even friends now?" Ruan Xiangjun suddenly complained.    

    

The downcast tone made Xiao Chen's heart tremble.    

    

"Alright, where are you? I will go and find you!"    

    

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Chen still could not harden his heart towards her in the end.    

    

After asking for the address, he packed up and left the room.    

    

Ruan Xiangjun had already arrived at the Hua Yu Tea House first, but she did not order anything. When she saw Xiao Chen, she quietly wiped the corners of her eyes.    

    

"Thank you for coming to see me! Sorry, I did not know that my mom..."    

    

"She's her, you're you. I don't blame you, you've never done anything wrong. But in the future..."    

    

After saying this, Xiao Chen sighed and said in a low voice," I might be very busy, and perhaps I won't have time to drink tea with you anymore. "    

    

Xiao Chen said it tactfully, but how could Ruan Xiangjun be an idiot?    

    

She lowered her eyes and her teeth, which had just been loosened, suddenly bit on her lips, but her lips suddenly turned white.    

    

Xiao Chen did not say anything else. He greeted the waiter and ordered two servings of tea and refreshments. He took a sip of his own tea.    

    

After a long time, Ruan Xiangjun suddenly let go of her lips and looked up at Xiao Chen's face.    

    

She mumbled her lips as if she wanted to say something but was unable to say it immediately.    

    

Xiao Chen, however, had already finished a serving of tea and refreshments. He wiped his mouth and said softly, "Alright, I should go back!"    

    

The gentle tone, when heard by Ruan Xiangjun, had an inexplicable sense of unfamiliarity.    

    

Suddenly, she clenched her fists tightly. A trace of inexplicable fear quietly spread to her chest.    

    

When she saw Xiao Chen stand up and turn his head, she suddenly stood up and lifted her hand to grab Xiao Chen's arm.    

    

"Don't go, don't go yet, okay?" Her panicked face was pale, but her hands were tightly clenched.    

    

Feeling the force coming from his hands, Xiao Chen finally stopped. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something.    

    

However, Ruan Xiangjun suddenly rushed to Xiao Chen's side and hugged him.    

    

Xiao Chen was stunned. He looked at her face, which was leaning against his chest, and raised his hand. He was a little helpless.    

    

"Don't go, don't leave me! I know that it's my mother's fault. I will go and persuade her. Trust me, as long as I'm here, I won't let her attack the Chu's. I, I..."    

    

She spoke incoherently. Perhaps even she herself didn't know what she was saying.    

    

However, Xiao Chen suddenly had a feeling. He raised his hand and grabbed her shoulder, wanting to move her away.    

    

However, Ruan Xiangjun had lifted her head before this. She tiptoed, raised her chin, and forcefully pressed it against his lips.    

    

Xiao Chen suddenly jumped and hurriedly pushed her away, not letting that pair of red lips land on his lips.    

    

"Immortal Lord, you..."    

    

"What should I do, Xiao Chen? I seem to really like it..."    

    

A sense of loss flashed across her face, but she didn't avoid Xiao Chen's gaze. She stubbornly raised her head and spoke with force.    

    

Xiao Chen was stunned, but before she could finish speaking, he suddenly interrupted her.    

    

"It's getting late. Someone is still waiting for me at home. You should go back as well!"    

    

Xiao Chen let go of his palm and quickly pulled away from her.    

    

Enduring the inexplicable restlessness in his heart and the impulse to slap himself, he gritted his teeth and turned his head around, leaving.    

    

Several times, Ruan Xiangjun wanted to reach out and stop him, but Xiao Chen's last words made her unable to muster up courage.    

    

It was only when the figure disappeared that she suddenly hugged her knees and squatted on the ground, crying.
