Return as the king, but only want to protect her

Chapter 3 I'm Back

After five years of not seeing each other, Mother Qin still looked as charming as ever, her appearance barely changed.

Although Yang Chen's features hadn't changed drastically after years of military service, his entire spirit and energy had undergone a profound transformation. In Mother Qin's eyes, Yang Chen was already dead, which was why she was both shocked and furious when she saw him again.

"Mom! It's me!"

Yang Chen smiled softly. This time, he came back with the sole intention of making amends to Qin Xi.

"It really is you, you loser!"

Mother Qin finally confirmed that the man in front of her was Yang Chen. With her hands on her hips and a shrewish demeanor, she angrily shouted, "Why didn't you come back earlier or later, but waited until Xiaoxi was about to remarry? Are you deliberately trying to cause trouble?"

At this moment, Father Qin also ran over. Seeing Yang Chen and hearing what Mother Qin said, without a word, he punched him and shouted, "I'll beat you to death, you bastard! How dare you come back!"

"Pa!"

A burly figure appeared in an instant, waving his hand and grabbing Father Qin's arm. He said coldly, "No one has the right to touch him!"

The man who stopped Father Qin was, of course, Ma Chao.

Having followed Yang Chen on the battlefield for many years, he was extremely burly and had a fierce appearance. His appearance instantly stunned the crowd, and Father Qin's face was filled with fear.

"Get out!" Yang Chen's voice was as cold as ice, and his eyes, like razor blades, fell on Ma Chao.

Although Ma Chao was deeply unwilling, he wouldn't disobey Yang Chen's orders and could only let go: "I'm sorry, Brother Chen!"

"If you know you're wrong, get out of here. From now on, you won't interfere in anything without my order." Yang Chen's face was filled with coldness.

At this moment, Yang Chen's aura inadvertently radiated a little bit. This very aura made Qin's father and mother realize that their useless son-in-law, after disappearing for five years, seemed to have truly changed. However, this thought was fleeting. In their eyes, Yang Chen was nothing but useless.

After Ma Chao's action, Qin's father and mother no longer dared to touch Yang Chen.

"You've become so arrogant that you even dare to touch me! Get out of here, get out of here now!" Qin's father shouted angrily. If he hadn't been afraid of the burly man just now, he would have attacked him long ago.

Yang Chen's anger burned within him, but the thought of the figure he had missed for five years suppressed his anger. He kept reminding himself that he had returned to make amends to Qin Xi and that he could endure anything.

"That loser can't leave! He's back just in time. Let him and Xiaoxi go through the divorce procedures today. Tomorrow we'll get Xiaoxi engaged to Wang Jian, and we won't have to deal with the hassle of getting a death certificate." Mother Qin quickly grabbed one of Yang Chen's arms, fearing that if he really left, they'd never find him again.

Father Qin also suddenly realized and grabbed his other arm, "My wife is right. Wait until Xiaoxi comes back, and then you can get a divorce."

Yang Chen was forcibly dragged into the courtyard. To those who didn't know, they might have thought the parents-in-law were being overjoyed because their son-in-law had returned.

Entering the house, they saw a large banquet table in the living room, already filled with people. They were all relatives behind Mother Qin.

Among these relatives, there was a strange face: a young man dressed in designer clothes. He intentionally or unintentionally flashed his wrist, revealing a valuable Rolex. The relatives around him seemed to be sitting around him.

At this moment, the young man was squinting at Yang Chen, who had been "invited" in by Mother Qin.

On the table was a large cake, apparently for someone's birthday.

But in Yang Chen's memory, neither Qin's father nor Qin's mother, nor Qin Xi's birthday was today. So whose birthday was it?

The relatives who had just been discussing getting Yang Chen a death certificate were now shocked to see him appear alive. But soon, their eyes lit up, their spirits lifted, and they looked like they were watching a spectacle.

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

"He didn't come back earlier or later, and Young Master Wang was about to marry Xiao Xi. He must have other ideas for coming back." "

Other ideas? In front of Young Master Wang, he's nothing but trash. Does he have the qualifications to compete with Young Master Wang?"

Qin's mother's relatives were all whispering. Whether intentionally or not, they kept their voices low, but everyone present could hear, and the young man known as Young Master Wang clearly heard everything.

Young Master Wang acted as if he hadn't heard anything. He looked at Mother Qin and asked in confusion, "Aunt, who is this?"

Mother Qin sneered and glanced at Yang Chen with disgust, "He's the loser who disappeared for five years. I was about to get a death certificate for him, but he suddenly showed up again. But don't worry, he came back just in time. It will take time to get a death certificate, but the divorce procedures can be done today."

Mother Qin made no secret of her desire to force Qin Xi to divorce. After she finished speaking to Young Master Wang, she said with a smug look on her face, "Yang Chen, he is Wang Jian, the eldest son of the head of the Jiangzhou Wang family. In a few years, he will inherit the position of head of the family. I advise you not to have any improper thoughts about Xiao Xi. We all agree to their marriage."

"If you have self-knowledge, wait until Xiao Xi comes back and quickly get the divorce procedures done. Don't delay Xiao Xi's happiness."

The relatives at the table were also talking at once. In front of the eldest young master of the Wang family, everyone wanted to take the opportunity to step on Yang Chen to curry favor with this wealthy young master.

There was a flash of sharpness in Yang Chen's eyes.

These relatives were really annoying. If it weren't for Qin Xi, she could teach them how to behave with just a wave of her hand.

Wang Jian was very satisfied, with a smug look on his face. He leaned back in his chair, gently shaking the wine glass filled with red wine, staring at Yang Chen with a smile, and jokingly said: "I wonder what you did during the five years you disappeared?"

Yang Chen glanced at him indifferently: "Served as a soldier!"

"Served as a soldier? Did you raise pigs in the army for five years? Haha..."

Before Wang Jian could respond, a relative suddenly burst into laughter, and the other relatives at the table also laughed wantonly.

Yang Chen was silent.

A smile played on Wang Jian's lips. He casually pulled out a check, quickly signed his name, and pushed it in front of Yang Chen, saying proudly, "You should have seen that the Qin family doesn't welcome you. You've come back this time for money. As long as you're willing to divorce Qin Xi, you can fill in any number on this check, and it will be cashed immediately at any bank in Jiangzhou."

The Qin family's relatives' eyes lit up at this moment, wishing the check was for them.

"Xiao Wang, why should I give him money? Xiao Xi is my daughter. If I want them to divorce, they have to divorce. Why should I give him money?" Mother Qin looked at the check, as if it were her own money, giving it to Yang Chen for nothing.

A hint of disdain flashed in Wang Jian's eyes, but he still smiled and said, "Auntie, to me, money is just a number. I don't want to cause trouble. I just want Xiao Xi to be single again as soon as possible."

After hearing Wang Jian's words, Mother Qin didn't dare to say anything more, but looked at Yang Chen with an even colder look.

Amidst the envy of his relative, Yang Chen picked up the check.

"Swish!"

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

Then, he looked at Wang Jian calmly, "If Qin Xi wants to divorce me, I won't stay in the Qin family, but if she doesn't want to, no one should try to interfere in our affairs."

If any of the brothers from the Northern Territory were present, they would surely know that Yang Chen's calm state was his most dangerous.

Wang Jian's eyes narrowed slightly. The young man before him gave him a sense of pressure, a feeling that was unpleasant.

The others all looked gloating; to dare to offend Wang Jian was simply courting death.

Just as the situation was tense, the crisp sound of high heels clattering on the floor was heard, and then two figures, one large and one small, appeared. It was Qin Xi and a little girl.

"Wang Jian, why are you here again? This is my home, you're not welcome. Please get out immediately!" Qin Xi's face darkened upon seeing Wang Jian, and she immediately ordered him to leave.

Hearing this familiar voice, Yang Chen, who had his back to the door, trembled violently.

He'd imagined the scene of meeting Qin Xi countless times, secretly rehearsing it countless times. However, when he actually faced her, he found that his previous rehearsals were completely useless. He didn't dare turn back to look at the woman he'd missed for five whole years, filled with deep guilt.

"Dad!"

Before Yang Chen could turn around, a familiar voice suddenly echoed from behind him. His body trembled violently, and he turned to see a petite figure rushing towards him with a look of joy.

Just now at the airport, it was this little girl who had pestered him, calling him "Dad.

" Yang Chen squatted down and naturally lifted the little girl into his arms.

It was natural, as if he had already held the little girl countless times before.

At this moment, Qin Xi also saw Yang Chen, and their eyes met. For a moment, the entire space seemed to freeze, with only him and her staring at each other.

Over the past five years, this figure had appeared in his mind countless times. The longing and guilt he felt for this woman were the driving force that kept him getting stronger. To be worthy of her, Yang Chen gritted his teeth and persevered.

Qin Xi's eyes were fixed on the figure, and a plethora of emotions suddenly surfaced on her beautiful face.

"Xiao Xi, I'm back!" Yang Chen was the first to break the silence.
