Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 61: Chapter 61: Luxury Goods Store

Lin Mengyao looked at her family, who stood against her, and curled her lips into a bitter smile. Look at how harmonious they are; only she is the outsider, the bad one. Lin Mengyao wanted to say something, but found her throat felt as if it were stuffed with cotton, making speaking—let alone breathing—difficult.

Xu Ke opened his arms and took Lin Mengyao into his embrace, pressing her head against his shoulder. A wave of humid warmth flowed over from where she leaned against him, making Xu Ke’s heart grow slightly restless.

"If I remember correctly, Mengyao was raised by her grandfather since childhood, right? She didn’t grow up with you. You haven’t really contributed to her upbringing in any way, so that whole ’raising her through hardship’ claim doesn’t even exist. Grandfather personally told me everything about Mengyao’s life. As parents, aside from giving her life, you’ve bestowed no other graces upon her. Moreover, Mengyao has been supporting you for many years, and in my view, she has long repaid the gift of life you gave her, so stop playing the unfilial card. You don’t deserve it."

Xu Ke looked at the three in the room, gently soothing Lin Mengyao with one hand as he coolly said, "From this day forward, stop demanding sacrifices from Mengyao on your behalf, and stop talking about repaying kindness. She owes you nothing; rather, it is you who owe her a great deal. If you ever make Mengyao upset again, I won’t let you off easily. If you don’t believe me, just try it." Xu Ke cast a warning glance at the three and then, in the next moment, scooped Lin Mengyao from the sofa, holding her firmly in his arms.

Xu Ke’s sudden movement made Lin Mengyao momentarily forget her tears, and the startled cry that reached her throat was swallowed back down.

Xu Ke left the Lin Family standing where they were and swaggered back to the bedroom with Lin Mengyao in his arms. Lin Mengyao waited for Xu Ke to put her down, but even after he sat on the sofa, he didn’t release her; instead, he placed her on his lap.
