Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Meeting

"Mr. Xu, the other company representatives have arrived, we should get going." Xu Jie stood respectfully in front of Xu Ke and spoke, and upon closer inspection, one could notice a slight distraction in her eyes hidden behind her glasses, but she quickly concealed it again.

"Mm, I know." Xu Ke replied indifferently.

Previously, every time she saw Xu Ke, he was always in casual attire. Though looking handsome and imposing, the visual impact was never as great as the one today.

Today, Xu Ke was dressed in a royal blue suit, with a white shirt undone at two buttons revealing a small part of his collarbone. His usually tousled hair was all slicked back with gel, exposing his excessively sharp eyebrows and eyes usually hidden, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses resting on his prominent nose. Like a sheath to a sword, it added a sense of calmness to his sharpness while making him extraordinarily handsome, akin to a graceful leopard.

"What’s the matter, is there something else?" Xu Ke, having heard no sign of Xu Jie leaving for quite a while, finally pulled his eyes from the document in front of him and spared a glance at Xu Jie.

"Not for now, I’ll be outside; call me if you need anything." Xu Jie took a few steps back and then turned to leave.

After Xu Jie left, Xu Ke picked up the phone on the table, hesitated for a moment, and sent a message to Lin Mengyao, staring at the phone for a long time but, as with the past few days, received no response, as if sinking into the ocean without a trace. Xu Ke frowned slightly, his gaze troubled, his mouth pressed into a line, feeling somewhat aggrieved.

Xu Ke was at a loss as to what had provoked Lin Mengyao. Not only had she left without a word while he was not home, but she had also cut off all contact with him unilaterally. He thought about looking for Lin Mengyao but then recalled their previous conversations, torn between persisting or giving up. He didn’t want to press too hard and end up pushing her further away.
