Supreme Heir Son-in-law

"People only believe what they want to hear. Do they ever care about the truth of the matter?" Xu Ke retorted sarcastically, looking at the other person as if watching a fool.

"You and your spouse are birds of a feather. I must have misjudged both of you." The woman’s eyes first glanced at Xu Ke, then past him to see the person standing quietly behind him since he started speaking—like a shadow, watching Xu Ke with bright eyes as if looking at a deity.

The young woman shouted once and then turned around, wiping her eyes as she ran off.

The remaining people present were taken aback by her sudden outburst.

"What’s wrong with her? If she’s leaving, just leave; why shout all of a sudden and so loudly? She nearly scared me to death." Lin Mengyao, startled by the volume, snapped out of her daze. The unusual way of being awakened made her heart race uncontrollably.

"Pat pat, we’re not afraid." Xu Ke reached out and ruffled Lin Mengyao’s hair, his expression visibly softening, like a snow-capped mountain gently thawing, with a hint of chill and warmth, a splash of green standing out in the white—a striking sight.

Seeing Lin Mengyao suddenly becoming shy and the two of them close as conjoined twins, Bai Ru quietly made a teeth-gritting face. "You two continue shopping; I suddenly remembered I have something to do, so I’m heading off." Bai Ru winked at Lin Mengyao and made a funny face, not giving her a chance to insist and leaving them behind as she ran off on her own.

With the unexpectedly pitiable passerby no longer causing trouble, and Bai Ru gone, Xu Ke and Lin Mengyao strolled around the mall like lovers freshly in love, hand in hand.
