Supreme Heir Son-in-law

"If you’re trying to provoke me in this way, I can only say you’re underestimating me. If you just wanted to use those few words to secure a chance at survival, I can only tell you that you’re delusional. All the chips you’ve given me combined hold no value to me. If you can’t present something that piques my interest again, then this time next year will be the anniversary of your death," Xu Ke said with a smile.
Even though she was angry that Xu Ke resisted her allure, the current situation didn’t allow her to make any rash moves, or else Xu Ke, who was staring intently at her, might do something unpredictable.
We could say that Xu Ke’s appearance overturned her previous understanding of men.
"You know, you’re the first man to reject me. I can’t understand why you would refuse me. Am I not beautiful enough? Is my figure not good enough? How can you refuse me? How can you not like me?" the woman asked, bewildered.
"You seem to have too much confidence in yourself. You are indeed beautiful, and your figure is great, but that doesn’t mean all men in the world like you. They may like you, but they only like your body. No one will like your soul because beneath that appearance, your soul is black, filthy, and foul," Xu Ke said.
Xu Ke’s words were like a heavy hammer, striking the woman’s head hard, making her feel dizzy.
The most unbearable thing for her in this life was someone telling her that no one liked her or would ever like her. That was a heavier punishment and pain than physical abuse.
Hearing Xu Ke’s words, the woman’s eyes turned red, on the verge of madness.
She opened her mouth to scream loudly, but Xu Ke, quick-eyed and deft-handed, rushed in front of her before she could react, covered her mouth with one hand, and pinched her neck with the other. With a slight cracking sound, the woman’s eyes widened, and she slid down the wall without even a struggle.
Her eyes were wide open as if she couldn’t believe what had happened. Blood slowly flowed from the corner of her mouth, like a bright tattoo, unique and individual.
The woman’s death was both sudden and absurd. Even in the last second before death, she couldn’t react.
Xu Ke wiped his hands on the woman’s clothes, looking somewhat regretful as he sighed deeply.
"So young, why not do something else, why choose to be an assassin? If you wanted to be an assassin, fine. But why did you have to meet me?" Xu Ke said, squatting in front of the woman’s corpse, looking somewhat confused.
"If people really have another life, remember, do anything in the next life, just don’t meet me again, and don’t try to seduce me with such a lowly trick. Who am I? I’ve seen all kinds of beauties, and you think you can entice me?"
Xu Ke arched his eyebrow, and his temperament instantly transformed dramatically. At this moment, he looked completely different from usual; now, he seemed more like a playboy wandering among flowers.
Xu Ke had learned his lesson this time; he no longer waited for them to break into his room like the night before.
Instead, he quickly and deftly dealt with the woman’s body, placing her corpse with the previous man’s, observing carefully to ensure nothing was out of place, and only then did he lie back on the bed and fall asleep.
Sure enough, just as Xu Ke expected, no one broke into his room that night.
He cheerfully and relaxedly tidied himself up, familiarized himself with his routine, and ordered his breakfast at the bar.
Though the boss’s skills weren’t that great, there was a homely taste that others couldn’t imitate, so Xu Ke quite liked the boss’s cooking.
"Why are you alone? Didn’t that woman look for you yesterday?" The boss was curious when he saw only Xu Ke coming downstairs without yesterday’s woman.
"Don’t mention it," Xu Ke replied with a yawn, looking like he had been stood up after a long wait.
The boss sympathetically patted Xu Ke’s shoulder, "I didn’t expect she didn’t find you. I thought you’d have a very romantic night."
"Where is so much romance for me?" Xu Ke took a sip of the hot milk the boss prepared and yawned again.
"I waited for her all night in the room yesterday, but she didn’t even show her face, relying on her looks to play such tricks; it’s really too much," Xu Ke complained to the boss while drinking milk.
This scene looked ordinary, but the most intriguing aspect was that Xu Ke specifically took half a day off for this matter. Previously, Xu Ke never arrived late or left early, but today he made an exception, even for a woman.
This matter quickly reached the boss’s ears, and watching Xu Ke drink milk as if he were drinking beer, the boss’s mind was filled with imagination.
However, this pity wasn’t for the boss but was instead for Xu Ke.
Xu Ke was uncomfortable under the boss’s stare, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Oh, it’s nothing. I’m just looking at you. I feel like you’ve lost a lot of weight recently. Eat more to nourish your body. If you’re still hungry after eating, let me know, and I’ll make you some more," the boss said, patting Xu Ke’s shoulder.
Though unaware of what the boss was thinking, Xu Ke could roughly guess from their conversation.
Xu Ke found it somewhat amusing, but his face remained unchanged, appearing as if he was unaware.
"Do you want to eat more? You ate so little. Why don’t you eat a bit more?" The boss asked proactively after seeing Xu Ke’s plate empty.
"No need, I’ve already eaten enough today. If I eat more, I might end up in the hospital. I don’t want the nurse to write on my medical record that I was hospitalized for overeating; that would be too embarrassing," Xu Ke said, touching his nose before speaking.
"Alright then, remember to come back early today," the boss said, awkwardly touching his nose as well.
It’s uncertain how things developed this way, but Xu Ke and the boss exchanged glances and smiled.
The business continued as usual, and everything was the same as always, except the name on the register had one less entry.
This small inn now had one less beauty’s name.
