Goddess's All-Powerful Soldier King

brother-in-law

Xu Menglin had never experienced such insult before. She stood up abruptly, saying, "I have shown you the utmost tolerance. Don't push me!"

Ye Chong didn't even look up as he ate, saying, "As long as you don't have any other crooked ideas, just marry me honestly. How could I, as your husband, expose your ugly deeds?"

With one sentence, the woman collapsed onto the sofa. "I know our current situation is that neither of us trusts each other. Let time prove everything."

"When are we going to get things done then?"

The words sounded awkward. "What do you mean?" Xu Menglin asked.

"I mean when are we going to have the wedding? What are you thinking about?" he retorted.

Encountering this kind of shameless flirt, Xu Menglin felt like crying without tears. "I'll handle everything."

After finishing the fruit, Ye Chong wiped his hands with a tissue. "You're being unreasonable. Marriage is a matter for two people. If you take care of everything, what am I?"

"And what do you think you are?" the woman said bluntly.

The remark was too harsh. Ye Chong, a construction worker, felt a surge of anger. "You have your limits, don't think I don't have mine. I've tolerated you for a long time. Since you're so heartless, don't blame me for being rude."

"What do you want to do?" she challenged.

With a sinister look, the man stood up and walked over. Xu Menglin instinctively stepped back. "You..."

Lowering his voice as he approached, Ye Chong said, "Those two butterfly tattoos on your waist are so sexy. I can't get enough of playing with them. I had to take pictures to treasure them."

Upon hearing this, the woman froze, tears shimmering in her eyes. "You... you would do that to me..."

"That's right, I took a set of artistic photos for you. I'm looking forward to sharing them with my online friends."

"You... shameless!" Xu Menglin was filled with shame and anger, raising her hand to slap him.

Ye Chong grabbed her wrist, smiling sardonically. "Don't act like a spoiled princess with me. Everyone has their pride. Nowadays, honest people suffer. If a man isn't shameless, he's embarrassed to even say hello to others. As for women, don't act like angels. It's such a waste to be so beautiful if you don't satisfy men. After using you, washing up is like having a new one."

Feeling deeply humiliated, the woman clenched her teeth in hatred, tears streaming down her cheeks silently. "I will kill you!" she uttered each word with a chilling determination.

A bone-chilling coldness swept over him, making Ye Chong's spine tingle. If someone else said this, it would be a joke, but coming from her, it carried a certain ominous power!

This time, he wanted to laugh but couldn't. Unconsciously, he let go of her wrist. "So what happened that night? You should be able to tell me now, right?"

"Don't you know what happened? You've insulted me greatly, isn't that enough?" she retorted.

"I'll say it again, that night was a misunderstanding. I want to know how you ended up in my bed..."

Before he could finish, Xu Menglin pinched him hard, tears shimmering. "You... you... are shameless!"

She tossed her hair and hurried upstairs.

Ye Chong scratched his ear and sighed. "I wanted to help you, how did I become shameless?"

He took a refreshing shower and then collapsed onto the soft bed like a woman's body, falling asleep soundly.

These past few days had been too much. After tossing and turning, he was indeed a bit tired. When he woke up, it was already dusk outside. He washed his face in a tank top and shorts, then clattered out of the house.

The western sky was ablaze with sunset, and in the twilight, white yachts shuttled back and forth in the gem bay. When he withdrew his gaze, he saw Xu Menglin walking on the beach in a white camisole dress, arms crossed, her long hair hanging down.

He kicked off his sandals, took a cigarette, and happily walked over the sand. Xu Menglin glanced at him with a melancholic look, gazing at the sea and sky, lost in thought.

Lighting a cigarette, Ye Chong sat on the beach, squinting at the woman in the sunset, casually saying, "You've attracted someone's attention."

Xu Menglin shuddered but said nothing.

"You better ask yourself who your enemies are, and what exactly happened before that night," he continued.

Xu Menglin silently pondered for a while, biting her lip. "Don't talk about it anymore. I don't want to mention that thing again."

Ye Chong felt a stir in his heart. In fact, he had always wanted to figure out what had happened before that night, why she had inexplicably appeared in his bed. What dark secrets were hidden within?

"As long as you speak up, I can help you," he offered.

"You?" Xu Menglin looked at him mockingly. "What can you do to help me? Rely on your ignorance and shamelessness?"

Ye Chong shrugged indifferently. "You must think I'm just talking big. In your eyes, I'm just a poor laborer who can't even afford a meal."

"I never look down on anyone. Regardless of wealth or poverty, everyone deserves basic respect. But you will never earn my respect, never."

Ye Chong frowned. "Are you enjoying holding onto that thing?"

Xu Menglin stared at him coldly. "I will never forget that nightmare, I will never forgive you, and one day you will receive the punishment you deserve," she declared, turning away and walking back to the villa without looking back.

Ye Chong shook his head and looked up at the sky full of sunset. There were countless peach blossoms around, everything here was beautiful, including the mistress of the house. Everything was within reach but also so distant.

Back in the villa, Mrs. Wu greeted him with a smile. "Xiao Ye, are you still satisfied here? How was your rest?"

"Absolutely perfect."

"Dinner is ready. Let's go to the dining room," Mrs. Wu said.

Ye Chong nodded in agreement and quietly picked up a photo frame of Xu Menglin from the mantelpiece, slipping it into his pocket without a word.

Arriving at the dining room, Ye Chong was momentarily stunned. Beneath the ice-blue crystal chandelier, a long European-style carved dining table was adorned with sparkling silverware. Exquisite red copper candlesticks held three red candles, creating a warm and pleasant atmosphere.

In such a dining room, even drinking beer and nibbling on chicken wings would seem artistic.

The difference between the wealthy and the common people might lie in the fact that even their bathrooms are more comfortable than others' bedrooms.

Servants lifted one shiny lid after another, revealing dishes such as Marseille fish soup, foie gras, Parisian lobster, red wine-cooked capon, chicken liver in sherry sauce, beef tenderloin, and various desserts and aperitifs, presenting an authentic French feast.

Ye Chong cleared his throat. "Mrs. Wu, what's going on? It's just a meal. There's no need to make it so grand."

Mrs. Wu smiled. "You are an honored guest in our house, so we must treat you with the utmost hospitality."

At this point, he suddenly had a little delusion of being rewarded for sex. Mrs. Wu didn't know what was going on, but he knew very well. Clearly, he had slept with the delicate and beautiful Miss last night, yet he was being treated so grandly.

"That being said, even a glutton can't finish so much food. It's too wasteful," Ye Chong remarked.

"No, there's one more person," Mrs. Wu replied.

"Who?" Ye Chong asked.

Before Mrs. Wu could answer, they heard the rumble of engines outside. "Speak of the devil, and he shall appear. He's here."

As footsteps approached, Ye Chong looked up and saw the face of none other than the Twelve Lords of the Third Ring who had lost to him in the street race last night... Xu Jianfeng!

Both of them exclaimed simultaneously, "You?"

In this situation, the only one who couldn't understand what was happening was Mrs. Wu. She looked at Xu Jianfeng, then at Ye Chong, bewildered.

After being stunned for a while, Xu Jianfeng was the first to speak. "What are you doing here?"

Seeing that it was him, Ye Chong casually sat down. "Why can't I be here?"

Xu Jianfeng's anger diminished slightly. "Mrs. Wu, what's going on?"

"Uh... I... I don't know. Miss suddenly brought Mr. Ye back today and said he is..."

"Said what?"

"He... he is Miss's fiancé."

"What!" Xu Jianfeng exclaimed.

Ye Chong picked up a piece of foie gras and put it in his mouth, seemingly indifferent. "Don't be so surprised. It's just adding a brother-in-law in the future. You should feel happy."

"What the hell!" Xu Jianfeng's blood boiled, disregarding the reason and was about to rush over.

Mrs. Wu quickly held him back. "Young master, young master, what are you doing..."

"Before I embarrass you, you'd better behave," Ye Chong said without even moving, still enjoying the food as if the delicacies before him were more appealing than Xu Jianfeng's presence.

At this moment, a voice came from the door, "Jianfeng, what are you doing?"

Turning around, Xu Jianfeng's anger dissipated by half when he saw who it was. He respectfully called out, "Sister."

Xu Menglin took her seat at the head of the table. "Do you two know each other?"

Ye Chong was busy eating and didn't pay much attention, while Xu Jianfeng, still harboring some resentment, replied, "Yes."

In this situation, the only one who couldn't understand what was going on was Mrs. Wu. She looked at Xu Jianfeng, then at Ye Chong, bewildered.
