Supreme Heir Son-in-law

"Can't you understand human language? Don't you think you're overstepping a bit as a manager?" Xu Ke turned around to look at Wu Xue behind him, raising one side of his mouth as he spoke coldly.

"Yes, I'm a manager, but I can't just sit by and watch. You're a grown man with hands and feet, why can't you go out and work yourself? Why do you have to leech off President Lin? Tell me, in what way do you match up to President Lin? If you truly love her, you should let her go, not cling to her and be her burden." Wu Xue stood up from his chair and confronted Xu Ke. The tension between the two was palpable.

"In this world, no one is good enough for Yaoyao except me. I know you like her, but she's already my wife. No matter how much you like her, that fact won't change. I respect Yaoyao and don't want her to be upset, thinking I'm interfering with her company, which is why I've tolerated you. But if you continue to be unreasonable and ungrateful, I won't hesitate to deal with you. You, as an outsider, don't understand the relationship between me and Yaoyao at all. Don't pretend to be a saint here. You claim it's for Yaoyao's good, but only you know what you're really thinking when you came here to say these things to me today."

Xu Ke's finger jabbed hard into Wu Xue's chest, his eyes filled with a scorn that seemed to strip Wu Xue bare and expose him in public, making Wu Xue's face flush red with embarrassment.

"Yes, I like President Lin. I think I'm as good-looking as you, I have the capability, and I can assist President Lin in her career so she doesn't have to work so hard every day. I can fight alongside her, and in every way, I'm better than you. You only met President Lin a few years earlier than I did. I'm not willing to accept this." Wu Xue lifted his head again, his eyes tinged with red.

"Heh, Yaoyao needs you to accompany her in her struggles? In your words, I'm just a pretty face who can't help? But your arguments and your own thoughts are revealing a fact."

"What fact?" Wu Xue couldn't help but ask.

"You're jealous of me, jealous of everything I have right now. You say I'm unworthy, that I'm a pretty boy, and that you can work hard with Yaoyao, unlike me. But is that really the truth?" Xu Ke's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"No, in Yaoyao's eyes and the eyes of others, you're no different from me. We're both just pretty boys relying on women to climb up. You're just using 'working together' as a facade to cover up. There is no fundamental change in our essence." Xu Ke's penetrating gaze made Wu Xue's eyes flicker.

"Does Yaoyao need to struggle alongside you? Her starting line might be your finish line. Do you really want to work with Yaoyao? No, you only want Yaoyao to take you straight to the finish line. Admit it, you're just a loser." Xu Ke said with a cold laugh.

"I'm not, I never thought of it that way, it's just your assumption." Wu Xue felt as if he'd been stripped and thrown into a crowd, a look of panic on his face, desperately trying to explain his admiration for Lin Mengyao, but he couldn't shake the feeling that everyone in the café was staring at him with disdain, making him unable to stand still, completely at a loss for what to do.

"Deep down, you know what you're really thinking. Some things you can lie about to others, but you can't lie to yourself. Oh, and although this news might hit you hard, I have to tell you, Yaoyao and I are a perfect match. Only I can give her everything she wants. Just play your role as a manager and keep those inappropriate desires to yourself."

Xu Ke patted Wu Xue on the shoulder, his touch as chilling as a snake's tongue, sending shivers down one's spine.

Outside the Lin Building, Lin Mengyao held a white suit jacket, revealing the cobalt blue shirt underneath, and pouted at the sight of Xu Ke walking out of the café across the street, "Didn't you say you were coming to pick me up from work? Why did you come out of the café and keep me waiting outside for so long?" Lin Mengyao looked at Xu Ke with a slightly resentful gaze.

"I was talking with someone from your company, it took some time, it's my fault." Xu Ke took the suit jacket from Lin Mengyao's hands and planted a kiss on her forehead, giving a provocative look towards the café before speaking in a warm tone.

"Someone from our company? What did they talk to you about?" Lin Mengyao asked with a hint of surprise on her face.

"Get in the car first; I'll tell you when we get home." Xu Ke winked at Lin Mengyao, ushering her into the car and driving towards home from the Lin Group's entrance.

"Xu Ke, hurry and tell me, your silence is making me itch with curiosity, I really want to know." Lin Mengyao placed her hand on Xu Ke's leg, acting coy.

"Sit properly, don't get coy with me. I'm driving." Xu Ke glanced at Lin Mengyao, giving her a teasing look that made her face flush instantly, retracting her hand as if scalded.

"You rogue, quickly tell me." Lin Mengyao glanced shyly at Xu Ke.

"What's in it for me?" Xu Ke raised an eyebrow, eager to tease Lin Mengyao. This is part of a series from My Virtual Library Empire (M|V|L1EMPYR).

"You're going to tell me sooner or later; why are you asking for a reward?" Lin Mengyao puffed up in frustration.

"I said I'd tell you at home, not now. If you want to know early, you have to bribe me." Xu Ke looked at the road ahead while sneaking glances at Lin Mengyao's expression, feeling utterly satisfied.

"Wow, Xu Ke, you go out once and turn bad, playing word games with me." Lin Mengyao put on an angry expression.

"Alright, alright, I'm done teasing you. Someone from your company likes you, came to provoke me and told me to leave you and set you free." Xu Ke glanced at Lin Mengyao and said.

Lin Mengyao's expression gradually turned serious, "Who is this person?" Xu Ke could feel the distinct chill in Lin Mengyao's voice.

"Why ask? Want to avenge me?" Xu Ke said with a hint of joy in his eyes.
