Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Seeing Xu Ke like this, Xiao Keyi wisely stopped asking further questions.

He just asked out of curiosity, without any other intentions.

He also knew that his boyfriend had been incredibly exhausted lately, so he definitely couldn’t bother him at this moment.

"Alright, alright, I know you’ve been really tired lately. But no matter how tired you are, you still need to take some rest. Even if there are big things happening, you must come home every day. You can’t sleep at the office anymore. Do you know what the company’s employees are saying about me now?"

What were the company’s employees saying about Xiao Keyi? Xu Ke’s mind immediately filled with big question marks.

What relationship did Xiao Keyi have with the company’s employees anyway? These two groups were really unrelated.

Xiao Keyi was his secretary, and those employees were under each director; they shouldn’t have any interaction.

"Keyi, what’s really going on here? How did you get mixed up with the company’s employees, and what bad things are they saying about you behind your back?"

Xu Ke was very concerned about this matter, as he had just managed to change the company culture and wouldn’t tolerate gossip within.

Mentioning this, Xiao Keyi felt utterly wronged. When he first joined the company, the employees were gossiping, saying she wasn’t doing a good job as a girlfriend.

The boyfriend was working overtime every day at the company, yet as his secretary, she wasn’t even coming to the office at all!

Xiao Keyi felt extremely wronged, thinking, "It was clearly Xu Ke who didn’t want me to come, how did it turn into me not wanting to come?"

"It’s because of your good employees. They’re feeling indignant on your behalf, saying I’m your secretary and yet not showing up at the company. They just watch you work overtime till late without doing anything."

After hearing Xiao Keyi’s complaints, Xu Ke finally understood.

It seemed the employees misunderstood, feeling indignant on his behalf.

Letting Xiao Keyi rest at home was Xu Ke’s idea, as he knew there weren’t many things going on at the company currently, so he didn’t have her come in.

Besides, with the whole gathering situation, he didn’t want Xiao Keyi to get involved.

After all, these kinds of events were better suited for men to handle, while the girls could just stay home.

"Alright, alright, don’t worry too much about it. Those employees didn’t have any ill intentions; they were just feeling indignant for the two of us. I’ll make sure to talk to them later, telling them not to overthink things all the time."

Even now, Xiao Keyi was still feeling down about what happened. If this had happened to Xu Ke, he would have definitely been more upset than her.

Seeing Xiao Keyi still unhappy, Xu Ke directly picked her up and laid her on the bed.

"The weather’s pretty good today. I think it’s perfect for doing something beneficial for the mind and body."

Before Xiao Keyi could react, Xu Ke had already pounced on her.

An hour later, Xiao Keyi lay on the bed, her face flushed crimson, while Xu Ke had already gotten dressed.

Xiao Keyi couldn’t have imagined that her goodwill gesture in bringing breakfast to Xu Ke would result in this rascal inexplicably bullying her.

"You’re such a bad person. If I had known, I wouldn’t have come." Saying this, Xiao Keyi hurriedly covered her face with the blanket.

"If I’m a bad person, then you’re the bad person’s woman. You rest well here, I’ve got to go and pick up a friend."

Xu Ke had already informed Xiao Keyi earlier, so he just grabbed his car keys and headed straight to the airport.

Halfway along the road, Xu Ke’s car suddenly ran out of gas. It was then he remembered that his car had been with Xiao Keyi for the past couple of days.

It seemed like this girl forgot to refuel, so Xu Ke had to find a nearby gas station.

To his surprise, there was a queue at the gas station. Fortunately, there weren’t too many cars in front of him, just two or three vehicles.

This time, Xu Ke was driving a Maserati. Initially, he didn’t want to make such a high-profile, but there were no suitable cars available in the parking garage.

It was then he recalled that he had lent his most ordinary BMW to Murong Hai for convenience when he noticed Murong Hai was having mobility issues earlier.

No wonder he couldn’t find the car in the underground garage; he had given it away.

As soon as Xu Ke entered the gas station, he drew a lot of attention from people.

Although there were often wealthy individuals here, a Maserati was still quite a rare sight.

In Beijing, even though many people were loaded, a Maserati was a status symbol; having money didn’t guarantee you could purchase one.

Many could afford a Maserati, but only a few managed to actually buy one.

Moreover, this Maserati of Lin Xiangyang was gifted by a foreigner to Old Master Xu a couple of years ago, when he wanted Xu to help him with something, but Old Master Xu ultimately declined.

Nevertheless, the foreigner was generous, gifting this car to Old Master Xu, saying it was to foster good relations. If this cooperation didn’t work out, there could be opportunities for future collaborations.

Now, the Xu Family’s garage was filled with an uncountable number of luxury cars, and Xu Ke just casually picked one that seemed relatively low-key.

But even so, it still drew quite a crowd wherever it went.

After about five minutes, seeing the two vehicles in front still weren’t moving, Xu Ke decided to get out of the car for a breather.

Squatting down next to the car, out of nowhere, a man who seemed like a manager rushed out of the gas station towards him.

Seeing Xu Ke, the man staggered over and asked, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Xu?"

Surprised by the sudden presence of this person, Xu Ke was baffled.

He had no idea what was happening or why this person randomly approached him.

And the most surprising part was that this guy seemed to recognize him, even though Xu Ke had absolutely no recollection of him.

"Yes, I’m Mr. Xu. I don’t know who you are; I don’t seem to know you at all."

Upon hearing Xu Ke’s words, the manager immediately became very respectful.

"Mr. Xu, hello. I’m the gas station manager. May I ask if there’s anything specific you need on your visit today?"

Xu Ke was utterly confused by what the manager said; he had no idea what the manager was talking about.

From the manager’s attitude, it seemed like he had some connection to this gas station.

But to Xu Ke’s knowledge, he had no impression of this gas station whatsoever.

He didn’t remember the company having any business in the gas station industry.

"Did you mistake me for someone else? I don’t recall having any ownership of this place."

"No, no, no, no, it’s definitely not a mistake. You’re the newly appointed Mr. Xu, and all our staff here at the gas station know you."
