Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 749: Chapter 749: Rejection

Xu Ke fell into silence.

Sometimes, he felt nothing for Alice, but that was untrue. A bright and charming girl like Alice could win anyone over with her allure. Even Xu Ke wasn’t immune to it; after all, he was just an ordinary man.

Seeing that Xu Ke didn’t outright reject her, Alice’s eyes, flushed red from the influence of alcohol, slowly began to shine. She held Xu Ke’s fingers more tightly, her knuckles turning white.

"You like me, right? You didn’t reject me, so that means you like me too, doesn’t it? If you like me, why don’t you tell me? Don’t you want to be with me?" Alice asked, staring blankly at Xu Ke.
