Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 678: Chapter 678 Iron Fool

"Xiao Qian, why are you walking so fast? I can hardly keep up with you. Don’t walk so fast later," the man spoke not in standard Mandarin, but with a bit of an accent.

His obese body made him sweat more easily. It’s unclear when he left the house, but at this moment, his white shirt was already soaked with sweat, making the fabric somewhat transparent, revealing his skin underneath.

The woman’s first reaction upon seeing the man was to hold her breath and discreetly step aside, putting some distance between them. However, after a brief glance at Xu Ke, she became slightly more attentive to the man—a mere hint of it was enough to make the man grin like a happy child, his plump face beaming like a smiling Buddha.

The woman pouted pitifully at the man, her eyes instantly reddening, displaying a look of tears about to fall before she even spoke.

Initially, the man was happy with the woman’s sudden closeness, but soon he panicked. "Xiao Qian, what’s wrong? Who bullied you? I’ll stand up for you, just don’t cry, okay?" He nervously reached out to wipe the tears from the woman’s cheeks, but she subtly avoided it.

The woman stomped her foot, turning aside, showing only half her face to the man.

Her little act left the man’s heart melting.

He quickly caught up with Xu Ke and the others, reaching out to pat Xu Ke’s back. But having just been ambushed earlier, Xu Ke wasn’t about to let that happen again, easily sidestepping the man’s hand.
