Supreme Heir Son-in-law

"Mom, I’ve been working overtime at the company these past few days, so I haven’t been home. I need to keep busy at the office early tomorrow too, so I’ll leave the partnership matters to you these days."

"Child, you never seem to take care of yourself. Ever since you took over the company, you’ve been working continuously for a long time. I know I can’t persuade you, but you really should take care of your health. Don’t overwork yourself; there’s a big team counting on you at the company."

As Wang Zhihua spoke, Xu Ke hardly dared take a breath beside him.

Though he could be bold and brash in front of others, in front of his mother and grandfather, he dared not do anything.

It’s not really that he didn’t dare—it was merely a sign of respect for his elders.

"Mom, I understand. I’ve been very cautious lately, and I’ll take a proper break once this busy period is over."

Though Xu Ke said this, Wang Cuixia understood that her son often said one thing and did another.

She couldn’t control this rascal any longer; she could only hope that Xiao Keyi had time to remind him frequently.

Since Dongfang Yanran came to their house, Wang Cuixia had taken notice of this girl.

She could see from Xu Hua’s attitude that he was eager to match his son with Dongfang Yanran.

Wang Cuixia had no ill will towards Dongfang Yanran; on the contrary, she thought the girl was incredibly beautiful.

If such a girl could become her daughter-in-law, Wang Cuixia would be quite pleased.

However, since Xu Ke had Xiao Keyi already, she always felt this matter was somewhat unfair to Xiao Keyi, so she hadn’t expressed much.

It wasn’t until Xiao Keyi proactively brought up the matter to her, explaining she didn’t mind if Xu Ke accepted Dongfang Yanran.

At the time, Wang Cuixia could hardly believe it, but gradually she came to understand why Xiao Keyi made such a decision.

From then on, Wang Cuixia felt Xiao Keyi was no ordinary girl. Xu Ke finding someone as exceptional as Xiao Keyi was like striking gold.

Since there are no issues with Xiao Keyi, our Cuihua fervently hopes her son can unite with Dongfang Yanran.

Moreover, in these past days through their interactions, she discovered the girl was educated and charming.

If we were in ancient times, she would undoubtedly be princess material.

"Son, Keyi must have talked to you about this earlier. I know you’ll definitely agree, so you should seize the opportunity now. Don’t miss out on a wonderful girl like Yanran. The old man Yanran is very satisfied with you too; as long as you pass Yanran’s test, your stars are aligned."

Hearing Wang Cuixia say this, Xu Ke suddenly felt calculated against.

The family had already arranged everything; now, if he just gave a nod and won over Eastern Yan Garden, everything would fall into place.

But since it was a family decision, Xu Ke was willing to say nothing more.

However, he always had a thought that regardless of the final outcome, if he were to marry, he definitely would marry Xiao Keyi first.

They had spent so much time together, walked so many paths together. No matter what, he must account for her.

"Mom, no matter what you all think, I’ll first marry Keyi. As for the rest, we’ll decide later."

This was Xu Ke’s bottom line. If this couldn’t be met, he’d rather this whole matter never happened at all.

Upon hearing Xu Ke’s words, Wang Cuixia was slightly surprised.

She hadn’t expected her son to be so passionate, which suddenly reminded her of her past with Xu Hua.

Even though their relationship now seemed not so good, their relationship was one of pride when they were young.

What truly deteriorated their relationship were events that happened later.

Yet in the past, Xu Hua was so good to Wang Cuixia that there weren’t any flaws to pick.

Back when they were getting married, the elders wanted Xu Hua to marry another woman too, but Xu Hua immediately refused.

In front of Wang Cuixia, he vowed that no matter what, he would only be with Wang Cuixia all his life.

Not only did Xu Hua say this, but he also did it; until today, he has never been involved with any other woman whatsoever.

In everyday life, Xu Hua provided care for Wang Cuixia in every aspect. He even avoided letting Wang Cuixia handle housework and cooking.

Anyway, Wang Cuixia had never seen a man as good to her as Xu Hua.

She recalled once going out for some errands, but the place she went to was particularly remote, and she hadn’t driven.

By the time her errands were done, it was already late at night.

There couldn’t possibly be a car on that road at that hour, and Wang Cuixia was very anxious then.

She had heard that stretch always had thieves and various unknown shady individuals.

She heard that last month there were two murder cases on that road, where two girls were unknowingly killed.

The case never had any leads, and thinking of it gave Wang Cuixia a chill.

She took out her phone, wanting to call Xu Hua and ask him to come or send someone to pick her up.

But upon picking up the phone, she found it somehow turned off.

She was halfway home, with no villages or shops nearby, clueless about what to do.

At this time, she suddenly saw a few punks smoking and walking towards her.

Seeing that bunch, Wang Cuixia immediately thought of the murder cases, then hurriedly hid in the nearby woods.

Finally, she waited until the group of punks passed by, only to unfortunately encounter a wild boar in the woods.

Wang Cuixia swore it was the unluckiest day of her life, encountering bizarre occurrences.

Just when she thought disaster was imminent, she suddenly saw a car speeding towards her.

As she reacted, Xu Hua suddenly appeared in front of her.

Without a word, Xu Hua immediately subdued the wild boar and brought her back.

This incident left a deep impression on Wang Cuixia, one she could never forget.

For a time, she was so afraid she didn’t dare leave at night alone.

It wasn’t until Xu Hua’s patient guidance helped her slowly step out of that shadow.
