Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 728: Chapter 728: On Duty

"Alright, I’ve said what I needed to say, you can leave now. Don’t come back if there’s nothing, and preferably don’t come back even if there is." Xu Ke began to see them off, but no one was upset; in fact, some could barely restrain the smiles on their faces.

When the hotel doors opened, Xu Ke didn’t speak to stop them or even block them, and these people scampered off like birds returning to the forest, even the bully who had been in pain earlier fled quickly.

It wasn’t until all the small-time hooligans left the hotel that Xu Ke felt he could finally believe this catastrophe was truly behind him. The innkeeper and his wife hugged each other, while Alice was sandwiched in the embrace of her parents. They held Alice tightly, as if fearing their daughter might disappear if their grip wasn’t firm enough.

Alice understood her parents’ feelings, so even though their embrace was uncomfortable, she didn’t express it. Instead, she patiently consoled her anxious parents.

Alice truly possessed a tender heart that didn’t match her exterior.

Xu Ke watched as this family embraced each other, surviving the disaster, and couldn’t help but smile at the corners of his eyes.

Just when Xu Ke planned to return to his room, Alice gently broke free from her mother’s embrace and approached Xu Ke.

"I really want to thank you for what happened today. I don’t know how to express our gratitude, so I’ve decided that from now on, our inn’s door will always be open to you, and we’ll never charge you. You can stay here as long as you like without any costs," Alice said, bowing to Xu Ke.

"Such a gift is too valuable. This was just a small effort for me. If you really want to thank me, how about inviting me to a meal? I haven’t had breakfast yet, and I’m a bit hungry," Xu Ke grinned at Alice.

Alice was dazzled by Xu Ke’s smile, feeling her cheeks warm and her heart pounding in her chest more rapidly than ever before. She didn’t dare to look directly into Xu Ke’s eyes.

Regarding Alice’s girlish feelings, Xu Ke was completely oblivious. In fact, when it came to emotions, Xu Ke was quite obtuse.
