Supreme Heir Son-in-law

At this moment, the two elders were still talking about past events, while Dongfang Yan had his mind completely occupied with thoughts of Dongfang Yanran.

He decided he couldn’t wait any longer; he had to quickly figure out what kind of person Xu Ke truly was.

"Grandpa, I’m going out to check on my sister. I’m a bit worried with her alone here."

Dongfang Shuo glanced at Dongfang Yan and then nodded gently.

"Go out and check. After all, it’s Yanran’s first time here. You, as her brother, naturally need to protect her." Saying this, Dongfang Shuo allowed Dongfang Yan to leave.

At this moment, Dongfang Yanran was sitting on the sofa, quietly gazing at Xu Ke not far away.

For some reason, Dongfang Yanran felt a bit of fondness for Xu Ke.

To Dongfang Yanran, this was somewhat unfathomable, and even she didn’t know what was happening.

After all, this was too absurd; it was her first meeting with Xu Ke, and she felt a hint of affection for him.

Bear in mind, from childhood to adulthood, Dongfang Yanran had never had any interest in any boy.

Even those from prestigious families, Dongfang Yanran was never like this.

Yet, unexpectedly meeting Xu Ke today was surprisingly astonishing, something Dongfang Yanran had never anticipated.

Just then, Dongfang Yan had already walked out of the private room. Seeing his sister sitting on the sofa, he quietly approached her side.

"Yanran, what impression do you have of Xu Ke?"

Upon hearing Dongfang Yan’s voice, Dongfang Yanran quickly raised her head.

Seeing her brother, Dongfang Yanran’s face flushed suddenly.

This was the first time Dongfang Yan saw his sister blush outside, and he instantly realized something.

Could his sister have fallen for Xu Ke? Dongfang Yan felt thunderstruck.

"Yanran, you can’t have fallen for Xu Ke, right? You two, this is your first meeting, and we don’t even know what he’s like. How could you do this?"

Dongfang Yan was very agitated, and Dongfang Yanran was somewhat frightened for a moment.

"No, brother. This is also my first meeting with him today, and for someone unknown, how could I possibly like him?"

Dongfang Yanran’s voice trembled slightly, indicating that Dongfang Yan’s attitude had scared her.

Dongfang Yan also realized his attitude was a bit inappropriate, so he hurriedly apologized to Dongfang Yanran.

"Yanran, I’m sorry. I got too worked up just now. I’m just worried about you, afraid you’ll be tricked by such a scoundrel."

Even though Dongfang Yanran said she hadn’t fallen for Xu Ke, Dongfang Yan didn’t think so.

He knew his sister well enough to understand that if Dongfang Yanran showed such a demeanor, it meant that Xu Ke had at least entered her heart.

Dongfang Yan instantly discounted his attitude towards Xu Ke, internally believing Xu Ke to be a scoundrel who somehow deceived his sister.

"Yanran, wait here for a while. I’m going to have a talk with Xu Ke." Saying this, Dongfang Yan headed towards Xu Ke.

After realizing it, Dongfang Yanran wanted to stop her brother, but it was too late, as Dongfang Yan had already reached Xu Ke’s side.

At this moment, Xu Ke had just finished his call with Wang Cuixia. As he was about to handle some banquet matters, he suddenly saw Dongfang Yan approaching.

Actually, Xu Ke didn’t have much of an impression of Dongfang Yan.

All he knew was that he was Dongfang Yanran’s older brother, and Dongfang Shuo’s grandson.

The two of them hadn’t even exchanged greetings, let alone had a conversation.

"Young Master Dongfang, is there something you need from me?" Xu Ke initiated the conversation.

Dongfang Yan didn’t realize Xu Ke would speak first, but he quickly came to his senses.

"Mr. Xu, I just heard the elders discussing you and Yanran in the private room, so I want to ask you here."

Dongfang Yan straightforwardly revealed his intention, as he wasn’t one to beat around the bush.

Xu Ke didn’t expect that the elders would discuss matters about him and Dongfang Yanran.

Despite not having a romantic connection, the two elders discussed it so enthusiastically, making Xu Ke feel a bit helpless.

Simultaneously, he realized that Dongfang Yan’s visit was definitely about Dongfang Yanran.

After all, to Dongfang Yan, Dongfang Yanran was his only sister, and when it concerned his sister’s happiness, as a brother, he would surely engage earnestly.

Moreover, if it were Xu Ke himself, he would make the same choices.

"I think Young Master Dongfang must be mistaken. I’ve mentioned that I have a girlfriend. I hold Miss Yanran in respect, and I have no intentions towards her in that regard."

Xu Ke had already made his attitude clear, hoping Dongfang Yan wouldn’t harbor hostility because of this matter.

Upon hearing Xu Ke’s words, Dongfang Yan didn’t relent on the matter.

After all, he knew that although Xu Ke had a girlfriend, they weren’t married.

As long as they were unmarried, there was room for negotiation.

Moreover, he had discerned from the elders’ words that they didn’t dislike Xu Ke having relationships with two women simultaneously.

However, Dongfang Yan found this completely unacceptable; if Xu Ke chose his sister, he must wholeheartedly be good to her.

Additionally, with time, Dongfang Yan gradually discovered that Xu Ke seemed quite decent.

At the very least, he wasn’t the scoundrel Dongfang Yan initially thought he was, showing that this was all his sister’s unilateral feelings.

Dongfang Yan’s heart was also very conflicted, as this was the first time his sister had felt affection towards a boy.

As Dongfang Yanran’s brother, Dongfang Yan should have been happy, but for some reason, he couldn’t find joy in his heart.

Dongfang Yanran was someone he watched grow up bit by bit. The thought of Dongfang Yanran soon marrying and becoming someone’s wife made Dongfang Yan very uncomfortable.

Although he knew this day would eventually come, the thought of his beloved sister leaving home made Dongfang Yan feel very upset.

But he knew he couldn’t stop it; no matter what, Dongfang Yanran had to marry at some point.

So, he chose to face this mindset directly, yearning to change the current state.

Xu Ke’s current performance wasn’t particularly satisfying, but at least he wasn’t as bad as Dongfang Yan had imagined.

"Mr. Xu, whatever you choose, I hope that if you choose my sister, please treat her well. Otherwise, regardless of your status, I will not let you off."
