Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 738: Chapter 738: Getting Along

When Xu Ke returned to the inn, it was already very late, but the dim yellow lights of the small inn remained on, and Alice was sitting at the front desk, eagerly watching the door.

When she saw Xu Ke’s figure outside the door, Alice’s eyes lit up, and like a moth to a flame, she ran out from behind the front desk, lifting her skirt and dashing towards Xu Ke, like a butterfly flying into a flower patch.

Just as Xu Ke thought Alice would crash into him, she stopped in time, standing half a step away, her cheeks slightly red as she looked at him, giving an elegant curtsey, making her appear like a young lady from a noble family.

"Good evening, sir. You’ve come back quite late today. I don’t know if you’ve had dinner; I left some food and pastries for you in the kitchen. Do you need any?" Alice asked politely.

"I’ve already had dinner tonight, so I don’t need anything for now. Thank you for your concern," Xu Ke replied with a smile.

The atmosphere between the two fell into silence once more. Alice was shy and didn’t know what to say, while Xu Ke simply didn’t know what to say to her, as, in his view, their relationship was just slightly more familiar than strangers.

"The wind is a bit strong outside, let’s hurry back in, be careful not to catch a cold," Alice said, and as if to prove her words, a gust of wind blew just then.

Indeed, in such a slightly chilly night, the wind made Xu Ke feel a bit cold.

Xu Ke nodded at Alice and obediently followed her into the inn. As soon as they entered and were under the bright lights, Alice immediately noticed Xu Ke’s arm wrapped in bandages.
