The Most Unlucky Chosen One in History — Xiao Chen

"Sweetheart, be good. I'm coming to pick you up!"

With that, he hung up the phone.

The room fell into silence once again!

Xiao Chen lost his composure. "Ji Ningxue! Who was that man? Who is he?!"

Someone's getting desperate! Desperate!

Ji Ningxue smirked coldly. "Him? He's the man I love!"

"Then what am I? I'm your husband!" Xiao Chen was truly furious now.

The Dragon King War God could endure a lot—more than Naruto or the Ninja Turtles—but there was one line that couldn’t be crossed: cuckoldry.

For a son-in-law protagonist like him, his wife was everything. The moment he realized he’d been betrayed, it was like lighting the fuse of a bomb.

Of course, in Jiang Che’s eyes, Xiao Chen’s bomb was nothing more than a firecracker.

"You? You think you’re worthy of being my husband?"

"Look at yourself. Is there a single thing about you that matches up to me, Ji Ningxue?"

Now that all pretense had been dropped, Ji Ningxue didn’t hold back, hurling insults straight to his face.

"Ji Ningxue... you—!"

"Me what? What are you, huh? Crawling on the ground like a dog!"

Just as Ji Ningxue was mocking Xiao Chen, Jiang Che arrived at the scene in his car.

Coincidentally, the car Jiang Che was driving was the very same Bugatti Veyron that the men in black had confiscated from Xiao Chen earlier.

"Baby Ning, I'm here!"

Jiang Che stepped out of the car, his black trench coat making him look effortlessly cool.

The company employees, seeing the situation escalate, had long since slipped away.

"Darling, you’re finally here!"

Ji Ningxue deliberately cooed, swaying over to Jiang Che’s side. She pretended to twist her ankle and fell right into his arms.

With such a beauty in his embrace, Jiang Che didn’t just stand there. He wrapped an arm around her waist, leaned down, and planted a kiss on Ji Ningxue’s lips.

"NOOOOOO—!"

Xiao Chen couldn’t take it anymore. He staggered to his feet, shaking with rage.

"Get away from her, you bastard!"

Xiao Chen tried to grab Jiang Che, but Ji Ningxue lifted a foot and kicked him square in the stomach.

"Get lost! What’s between Jiang Che and me is consensual. What does it have to do with a worthless piece of trash like you?"

Xiao Chen stumbled back from the blow.

That kick didn’t just land on his body—it struck straight at his heart. His invincible golden body could withstand fatal attacks from grandmasters, but it couldn’t protect him from her.

Clutching his chest, Xiao Chen glared at Jiang Che.

The more he looked, the more familiar Jiang Che seemed. Finally, it hit him—this was that so-called "Young Master Jiang" from Ji Ningxue’s class reunion!

"Ningxue, I get it now! He’s blackmailing you, isn’t he? He’s got something on you?"

"Hah, blackmail?" Ji Ningxue let out a carefree laugh before pressing her lips to Jiang Che’s ear, giving his earlobe a teasing nip. Her breath was warm and sweet.

When she turned back to Xiao Chen, her eyes shimmered like autumn water, filled with affection.

This side of Ji Ningxue—flirtatious, unrestrained—was something Xiao Chen had never seen before. For a brief moment… he even felt a physical reaction.

In their three years of marriage, Ji Ningxue had been untouchably sacred to him. He’d never dared to fantasize about her. But just now… he actually…

Ji Ningxue lightly licked her lips. "Now… do you still think Jiang Che is forcing me? If anything, I’m the one coercing him!"

She lifted a finger, tilting Jiang Che’s chin up. "Right, little brother?"

Jiang Che: "......"

What the hell? Had Ji Ningxue lost her mind?

Or was this her true nature all along—wild and uninhibited?

But it didn’t matter anymore. Soon, Xiao Chen would be coughing up his riches!

"Ningxue, why haven’t you divorced this loser yet? You’re already carrying my baby. You can’t possibly let the child take his last name, can you?"

Jiang Che dropped a bombshell.

Even Ji Ningxue was stunned. I’m pregnant? Since when?

But she quickly caught on, rolling her eyes at Jiang Che.

[You little brat, playing dirty, huh? I’m not having your kid!]

Still, she played along, resting a delicate hand on her stomach. "Sigh, I’ve already filed for divorce, but it’ll take a year or so to finalize. By then… the baby will already be born."

Watching the two of them so lovey-dovey, Xiao Chen’s brain short-circuited.

Ji Ningxue… was pregnant?!

Xiao Chen numbly stared at her abdomen—still flat, but who knew if it was true or not?

Yet, judging by Ji Ningxue’s demeanor, it seemed all too real.

"Pfft—"

Round two. Xiao Chen spat out another mouthful of blood, his face ashen with despair.

"So… you betrayed me that long ago? It was that class reunion, wasn’t it?"

His eyes bloodshot, Xiao Chen glared at the adulterous couple before him.

Ji Ningxue remained impassive. "There was never any love between us. How can you call it betrayal? It was just a transaction."

Xiao Chen gasped for breath, his face twisted with resentment.

"Ji Ningxue! I spent three years as a live-in son-in-law for your family, slaving away for you and your mother! And you felt nothing for me?"

The Dragon King had truly awakened. Realizing he had no chance left, he didn’t even call her "Ningxue" anymore—just her full name, cold and distant.

"Nothing."

Those two icy words shattered Xiao Chen completely.

"Three years of devotion… and it meant less than three weeks with this guy?"

He raised a trembling finger, pointing accusingly at Jiang Che.

"Hey, hey, hey—I have a name. It’s Jiang Che," Jiang Che added salt to the wound.

Suddenly, Xiao Chen noticed the black Bugatti behind Jiang Che. Wait… isn’t that the one stolen from me earlier?

Everything clicked.

Those men who took my car… they were sent by him!

Jiang Che noticed Xiao Chen’s gaze and grinned, slapping the hood of the Bugatti.

"What’re you staring at? Yeah, this Bugatti’s rented."

"But I gotta say, driving someone else’s car just hits different!"

Double entendre delivered, another precise stab to Xiao Chen’s heart.

Jiang Che wrapped an arm around Ji Ningxue’s slender waist. "Oh, by the way, Ningxue, I heard your company’s facing another financial crisis. Need another 1 billion from your favorite angel investor?"

He was baiting Xiao Chen—and it worked.

"Angel investor?!" Xiao Chen’s heart sank.

He looked at Jiang Che, who smirked back at him.

So that’s it…

No wonder Ji Ningxue mocked me when I revealed my ‘angel investor’ identity.

He stole my thunder!
