Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 207: The Pursuer



When Lin Mengyao returned home with Xu Ke, her legs were weak, relying entirely on Xu Ke to help her walk.

"Next time, I won't drive so fast. I was just too excited and wanted to play a joke on you. I didn't expect you'd get so scared that your legs would turn weak. It's my fault. If you want, you can hit me to vent your frustration." Xu Ke looked at Lin Mengyao's extremely weak appearance, filled with guilt.

"It's okay, I'll be fine after a rest." Lin Mengyao said feebly.

Since they got married, this is the longest they've been apart. She understood Xu Ke's desire to do something to release his feelings upon their reunion, but she hadn't expected her body to betray her like this.

Sister Zhou was stunned when she saw Lin Mengyao being supported by Xu Ke. "Madam, what happened to you? Weren't you perfectly fine when you left? How did it happen in such a short time that you can't even stand? Do you need me to call an ambulance?" Sister Zhou asked.

"No need, I was just so scared my legs gave out. I just need a moment to recover. Is the food ready?" Lin Mengyao said weakly.

"It's ready. Would you like to eat now?" Sister Zhou was about to set the table but was stopped by Xu Ke.

"No hurry. By the way, Sister Zhou, how's Xiao Jie doing?" Xu Ke carried Lin Mengyao to the sofa and fed her some warm water.

"Much better, much better. Now we just have to wait for a kidney match, but it's hard to find a donor. Dr. Zhao told me that the hospital's getting a new kidney source in a few days, and they'll check if it matches with our Xiao Jie." Sister Zhou said with a smile, her eyes filled with hope.

"All right, have Xiao Jie take good care of her health. Don't worry about the money. If the kidney is a match, call us immediately. Don't worry about the cost." Xu Ke said.

"I really don't know how to thank you. What did I do in my past life to deserve such good employers like you in this life?" Sister Zhou said emotionally, wiping her tears.

"We've always considered you as family. Xiao Jie is like our sister, and we will do our best to help. I feel much better now, let's eat." Lin Mengyao came down from Xu Ke's arms and said.

"Sister Zhou, come join us for dinner." Lin Mengyao invited Sister Zhou.

The three of them had a harmonious meal, and Xu Ke and Lin Mengyao had another unforgettable night. Lin Mengyao rested for a day and started work formally on the third day.

"Why are you up so early? It's still early; you should sleep a bit more." Lin Mengyao said to Xu Ke, who had just sat up in bed.

"No, I'll take you to the company today. I also need to check on Jiahe. It's been three months since I last went back. I need to see if there's anything that requires my attention." Xu Ke gave Lin Mengyao a kiss and said.

"You're annoying! So early in the morning and you still try to steal a kiss without brushing your teeth." Lin Mengyao gave Xu Ke a coquettish glance and said poutingly.

"Oh, wow, it's just been three months, and you've already learned to dislike your husband." Xu Ke grinned evilly and immediately started to tickle Lin Mengyao until she was laughing with tears and couldn't speak coherently.

"Will you still dare to dislike me next time?" Xu Ke asked softly, holding the panting Lin Mengyao.

"No, no, I won't. Hurry and get dressed; I don't want to be late." Lin Mengyao pushed Xu Ke and said.

"I know. Once you're ready, go have breakfast. I'll come down soon." Xu Ke kissed Lin Mengyao's forehead, and they finally parted.

At the breakfast table, Sister Zhou alternated her gaze between Xu Ke and Lin Mengyao, an oddly warm expression in her eyes, making Xu Ke curious.

"Sister Zhou, why do you keep looking at us? Is there something on our faces?" Xu Ke touched his face and asked.

"No, no, it's just that the house finally feels complete. The days you were gone, it felt like something was missing. Madam was always distracted, and it was like a gloom had settled over the house; nothing had energy. Now that you're back, Madame's smile has returned, and it's like the house has lit up again." Sister Zhou said with a smile.

"Alright, Sister Zhou, stop it. Otherwise, this guy will become too full of himself." Lin Mengyao said, feebly glaring at Xu Ke, a little embarrassed as she spoke to Sister Zhou.

"Alright, alright, I won't say anymore." Sister Zhou replied with a chuckle.

Xu Ke just gave Lin Mengyao a deep look without speaking. Once they were in the car, Xu Ke immediately smiled and trapped Lin Mengyao in his arms. "If Sister Zhou hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known you missed me so much when I wasn't home, like your soul was missing."

Xu Ke's deep yet slightly playful voice made Lin Mengyao's face flush. Even though they'd been married for so long, she still couldn't resist this man. Her heart would race whenever he got close.

"What on earth were you doing in those three months? Acting so improperly, hurry up and take me to the company, or I won't talk to you tonight." Lin Mengyao said, shy and annoyed as she feebly pushed Xu Ke.

"Got it. Call me half an hour before you get off work, and I'll come pick you up, okay?" Xu Ke kissed Lin Mengyao's forehead and fastened her seatbelt with a gentle voice.

"I got it. Quickly drive; I didn't go to work yesterday, and you cannot make me late today."

"Yes, my dear wife." Xu Ke chuckled and said playfully.

The car shot off but much slower than before, arriving just in time for Lin Mengyao to reach the bottom of the Lin Building.

"See you tonight." They exchanged a brief kiss.

This scene was coincidentally witnessed by the newly appointed HR manager at Lin, Wu Xue, who frowned as he saw it.

Lin Mengyao hadn't been in the office long when Wu Xue knocked and walked in.

Brought to you by MV6LEMPY6R.

Lin Mengyao looked up from her pile of files, a bit surprised, "Manager Wu, you're here early today. Is there something you need to report?"

"Yes, there is. Our company's sales department is a bit short-staffed lately. I just hired a batch, here are a few whom I highly recommend – I wanted you to have a look." Wu Xue handed the resumes to Lin Mengyao.

"For such a small matter, you don't need to consult me. You're the manager of the HR department and a talent we headhunted, I trust your judgment. Make the decisions yourself, and remember to close the door on your way out." Lin Mengyao said without looking up.

"Okay, I understand." Wu Xue reached back for the resumes, but remained standing, staring at Lin Mengyao with an enthralled expression.

After not hearing the door close or footsteps, Lin Mengyao looked up, surprised to see Wu Xue still standing there, "Is there anything else you need to discuss, Manager Wu?"

"No, I was just about to ask President Lin something, but now there's no need. Please take care not to overwork yourself. The company wouldn't be the same without you." Wu Xue said and decisively turned and left.
