h her own hands, but after just meeting Yang Chen for a short time, she already showed such dependence.Yang Chen seemed to sense Qin Xi's emotions. He held Xiaoxiao and placed her on the bed, reaching...Chapter 3

Five years have passed, but Qin Mu's charm remains unchanged, and her appearance has barely altered.

After years of military service, Yang Chen's features hadn't changed drastically, but his entire demeanor had undergone a complete transformation. In Qin Mu's eyes, Yang Chen was already dead, which is why when she saw him again, she was both surprised and angry.

"Mom! It's me!"

Yang Chen's face broke into a soft smile. This time, returning, all he wanted was to properly compensate Qin Xi.

"You useless trash!"

Qin Mu finally confirmed that the man before her was Yang Chen. Crossing her arms, she looked like a shrew and shouted angrily: "You didn't come back early or late, but you came back just when Xiaoxi is about to remarry. Are you deliberately here to cause trouble"

At this time, Qin Father also ran over and saw Yang Chen, hearing what Qin Mother said. Without saying a word, he punched over, shouting angrily: "I'll beat you to death, you bastard, you dare to come back!"

"Bang!"

A burly figure suddenly appeared, grabbing Qin's father's arm with one hand and coldly stating: "No one is qualified to touch him!"

Of course, it was Ma Chao who stopped Qin's men.

Having followed Yang Chen for many years, he was extremely muscular and had a fierce appearance. His arrival instantly silenced the room, and Qin's father looked terrified.

"Get out!" Yang Chen's voice was cold as frost, his blade-like eyes fell on Ma Chao.

Although Ma Chao was very unwilling, he would not disobey Yang Chen's order. He could only let go: "I'm sorry, Chen Ge!"

"Knowing you're wrong, get out of my sight. From now on, don't interfere with my affairs without my orders." Yang Chen's face was full of coldness.

At this moment, Yang Chen's aura unintentionally released a bit, just this one bit, made Qin Father and Qin Mother realize that the useless son-in-law in their eyes, who had disappeared for five years and returned, seemed to be a little different. However, this thought only flashed by. In their view, Yang Chen was still a waste.

With Ma Chao's intervention, Qin Fu and Qin Mu dared not lay a finger on Yang Chen.

"With his wings hardened, he even dared to move against me. Get out of here! Leave now!" Qin's father roared, if not for the fear of that burly man just now, he would have already made a move.

Yang Chen's heart was burning with anger, but when he thought of that figure he had missed for five years, the anger subsided. He kept reminding himself that his return this time was to make amends to Qin Xi, and he could endure anything.

"This trash can't leave. He just came back at the perfect time. Today, we'll have him and Xiaoxing go through with their divorce proceedings. Tomorrow, we'll get Xiaoxing and Wang Jian engaged. We won't even need a death certificate, it'll be so much easier." Qin Mother hurriedly grabbed Yang Chen's arm, afraid that Yang Chen would really leave and they'd never find him again.

Qin's father also suddenly realized, grabbing Yang Chen's other arm: "Your wife is right, when Xiaoxi comes back, you two should get a divorce."

Yang Chen was forcibly dragged into the courtyard. People who didn't know better might have thought that his in-laws were just very welcoming because their son-in-law had returned.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw a banquet table set up in the living room, already filled with people, all relatives of Qin's mother.

Among these relatives, there was also a strange face. It was a young man dressed in brand-name clothes, who casually showed his wrist, wearing an expensive Rolex watch. The surrounding relatives seemed to be sitting around him.

At this moment, the young man narrowed his eyes and stared at Yang Chen who had been 'invited' in by Qin's father and mother.

There was a big cake on the table, it looked like someone was having a birthday.

But in Yang Chen's memory, neither Qin Father nor Qin Mother, nor even Qin Xi's birthday was today. Then whose birthday was it

Just moments ago, a group of relatives were discussing how to obtain a death certificate for Yang Chen. Now, here he is, alive and well! Everyone was filled with shock, but quickly their eyes lit up with excitement and anticipation, as if they were watching a thrilling drama unfold.

"Yang Chen, wasn't he missing for five years How did he suddenly come back"

"He wouldn't come back early or late, yet Wang Shao insists on marrying Xiaoxing. He's back now, he probably has other plans."

Any other thoughts In front of Wang Shao, he's just a piece of trash. Does he even have the qualifications to compete with Wang Shao

Qin Mu's relatives were whispering amongst themselves, it was unclear whether intentionally or unintentionally. Although they lowered their voices, everyone present could hear them. The young man known as Wang Shao was clearly listening intently.

But Wang Shao acted as if he hadn't heard anything, looking at Qin Mu with confusion and asking, "Auntie, who is this"

Qin Mu sneered, giving Yang Chen a look of disdain: "He's the one who disappeared for five years, and I was about to get a death certificate for him. He suddenly reappeared like garbage, but don't worry, he came back just in time. It takes time to process a death certificate, but the divorce proceedings can be handled today."

Qin Mu made no secret of her desire for Qin Xi to divorce. After telling Wang Shao, she said with a smug expression: "Yang Chen, he is the eldest son of Wang Jian, the head of the Jiangzhou Wang family. In a few years, he will inherit the position of head of the family. I advise you to stop thinking about Xiao Xi any further. We have all agreed to their marriage."

If you have any sense, wait for Xiaoxing to come back and quickly go through with the divorce proceedings. Don't delay Xiaoxing's happiness.

All the relatives at the table were now chattering away. In front of this young master Wang, everyone wanted to curry favor by stepping on Yang Chen, hoping to get closer to this wealthy heir.

Yang Chen's eyes flashed with a sharp gleam, gone in a blink.

These relatives are really annoying. If it weren't for Qin Xi, I could teach them a lesson right here and now.

Wang Jian was quite satisfied, with a smug look on his face. He leaned back in his seat, gently rocking the tall glass filled with red wine, and stared at Yang Chen with a smirk, jokingly saying, "I wonder what you've been up to during your five years of disappearance"

Yang Chen glanced at him indifferently: "Join the army!"

"Enlisted You must have spent five years raising pigs in the army, haha..."

Before Wang Jian could respond, a relative suddenly burst into laughter, and the other relatives at the table joined in, laughing unrestrainedly.

Yang Chen fell silent.

Wang Jian smirked, casually pulled out a check, scribbled his name on it a few times, and pushed it to Yang Chen's face. He said in a豪氣 tone: "You should have seen that the Qin family doesn't welcome you. You definitely came back for money. As long as you're willing to go through with a divorce from Qin Xi, you can write any number on this check. It can be cashed out immediately at any bank in Jiangzhou."

At this moment, all of Qin's relatives had their eyes wide open, wishing that the check was given to them instead.

"Little Wang, why are you giving him money Xiao Xi is my daughter! I want them divorced, they have to divorce! Why should we still give him money" Qin's mother looked at the check as if she was taking out her own money and giving it to Yang Chen for nothing.

A glint of disdain flashed in Wang Jian's eyes, but he still wore a grinning smile and said, "Mother, to me, money is just a string of numbers. I don't want any trouble. I just want Xiao Xi to get back to being single as soon as possible."

Having heard Wang Jian say this, Qin Mu didn't dare to say anything more. She just looked at Yang Chen with even colder eyes.

In the envious gaze of a relative, Yang Chen picked up the check.

"Zap!"

Just when everyone thought he was going to accept it, Yang Chen tore the check into pieces in public.

He immediately looked at Wang Jian with a calm expression: "If Qin Xi wants to divorce me, I will never stay at the Qin family. But if she doesn't want to, no one else is allowed to interfere in our affairs."

If any brothers from the North are present, they would know that Yang Chen in this state of calmness is his most dangerous.

Wang Jian's eyes narrowed slightly. The young man in front of him made him feel a hint of pressure, a feeling that was very unpleasant.

Everyone else looks like they are gloating. To offend Wang Jian is simply asking for death.

Just as the bowstring was taut, a crisp sound of high heels clicking on the floor rang out. Two figures, one large and one small, then appeared – Qin Xi, and a little girl.

"Wang Jian, what are you doing here again This is my house, I don't welcome you. Please get out immediately!" Qin Xi's face turned dark the moment she saw Wang Jian, and she directly ordered him to leave.

Hearing this familiar voice, Yang Chen, who was facing away from the door, trembled violently.

He had thought countless times about the scene of their reunion with Qin Xi, and secretly practiced countless times. But when he really faced Qin Xi, he discovered that his previous practice was useless at all. At this moment, he dared not even look back. He looked at the woman he had deeply regretted and missed for five whole years.

"Dad!"

Yang Chen hadn't turned around yet when a familiar voice suddenly rang out from behind him. His body trembled violently, and he turned to see a petite figure rushing towards him with a joyful expression on her face.

Just at the airport, this little girl kept clinging to me and calling me "Dad."

Yang Chen crouched down and naturally hugged the little girl into his arms.

Naturally, as if he had held countless little girls in his arms before.

At this moment, Qin Xi also saw Yang Chen. Their eyes met, and for a moment, the entire space seemed to freeze, with only their gaze locked.

Over the past five years, this figure has appeared countless times in his mind. His longing and guilt for this woman are what keep him going, pushing him to become stronger so that he can be worthy of her. That's why Yang Chen gritted his teeth and persevered.

Qin Xi's eyes were fixed on the figure, and her stunning face was momentarily filled with a myriad of emotions.

"Xiao Xi, I'm back!" Yang Chen broke the silence first.g up a foot. He took out a key and handed it to Qin Xi: "If this house continues to live, there will be a great safety hazard. You and Xiao Yi won't go to work today. Just pack some things and move to...
