Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1279 - 1278: Taking Care of Yourself Is What Matters Most

"Really? You really plan to take me out to play? But over the years, you’ve been delaying your work because of me. Forget it, don’t let me hold up your work. I can have the housemaid take me out to play."

The woman spoke with particular thoughtfulness, and at this moment, Yu Jian felt as if he was reliving the moment when they first met.

But it was only for a moment: "If that’s the case, then you go ahead and have fun. I have things to attend to at the company."

Watching Yu Jian’s back, the woman clutched the stair railing, gripping it tightly.

Outwardly, she maintained a nonchalant appearance, and all of this was indeed just an act.

Thinking of this, the burden in her heart disappeared at once. After all, this man doesn’t love her.

After leaving the hospital, Xiao Keyi felt the freshness of the outside air, no longer like the inside of the hospital, which only smelled of disinfectant. So she took a few deep breaths of fresh air, and the nurse seeing this, smiled with her eyes squinting.

"Miss, if you like going out for a stroll in the future, I will definitely take you out more often. Please don’t hold back, Miss."

Hearing the nurse’s words, Xiao Keyi nodded vigorously, pointing to the garden over there, "I see there’s a garden over there. Why don’t you push me over there for a stroll?"

At this moment, the weather had already turned a bit cooler, so the nurse frowned, looked at the lush greenery in the garden, but it was a bit cooler than here: "Isn’t it too cold in there? Being too cold isn’t good for your health. Wouldn’t it be better to stroll somewhere else first, and after a couple of days when you’re dressed warmer, we can come here again?"

Hearing the nurse’s advice, Xiao Keyi knew the nurse was looking out for her, but looking at the beautiful scenery, she really couldn’t bear to leave, her eyes filled with reluctance.

"Even if you want to go out and play, you have to consider the timing. Taking care of your health is the most important thing."

Hearing this clear voice, Xiao Keyi turned her head in surprise, and saw Xu Ke standing in front of her, dressed in a perfectly tailored suit, fitting him as if it was made to measure.

"When did you get here? You didn’t even let anyone know so I could have someone pick you up. By the way, how’s that anime doing recently?"

Hearing Xiao Keyi’s question, Xu Ke nodded, took over the nurse’s duties, and let the nurse go about her business elsewhere.

"The promotional video has already been shot, and I’ve asked the team to get it prepared."

"I estimate it will take another three days to finish the anime, but it won’t be uploaded until next week. After all, the promotion period is a bit short, so it might not be very effective, so we delayed it a bit."

Hearing this, Xiao Keyi nodded, but when she thought it was because of her that the anime was delayed a bit, she felt a bit guilty. After all, everyone looked down on Xu Ke, and the fact he could achieve this much was impressive.

"I’m sorry, it’s all because of me. If it wasn’t for my illness causing delays, maybe this wouldn’t have happened."

If it weren’t for her illness, the anime would have seen results this week, and it might have been released a long time ago.

Seeing Xiao Keyi feeling particularly guilty, this was not the result Xu Ke wanted to see, so Xu Ke shook his head, trying not to burden her further.

"Alright, don’t overthink it. Even if the anime is a bit delayed, we have other benefits. For instance, in the past few days, Jiang Na seems to have encountered some issues, which has made our anime quite popular. However, it’s been hyped negatively."

Xu Ke smiled wryly after saying this. Recently, being photographed in the hospital by reporters, and the articles they wrote were excessive.

They said Jiang Na was carrying a wealthy businessman’s child and came to the hospital for a prenatal check-up, leading to various rumors about Jiang Na.

Jiang Na has yet to make a public appearance, but people’s guesses are incomprehensible since they think Jiang Na frequently appears in a Xiao Group subsidiary. They say the child is Xu Ke’s.

So, there have been even more intense statements about Xu Ke.

"If I could meet Xu Ke in person, I’d like to ask him how to get close to a rich woman and live a smooth life from then on."

"Exactly, with Xiao Keyi in front and Jiang Na behind, Xu Ke’s life seems like it’s been a walkthrough."

"Xu Ke managed to snag a pair of best friends, so they can’t be friends anymore, but honestly, Xu Ke isn’t worthy of either of them."

As soon as Xiao Keyi heard her best friend was in trouble, she grabbed Xu Ke’s arm in a panic.

"What’s going on? Why are you only telling me now? Nana must be anxious too. I wonder how she’s handling it over there?"

Distracted by these issues, Xiao Keyi wasn’t thinking about strolling in the cool shade anymore, visibly worried.

Seeing her so troubled, Xu Ke didn’t have the heart to distress her further.

"Alright, I’m sure Jiang Na will handle it well. Your biggest task now is to take good care of yourself. Jiang Na kept calling to see how your health was. She said she would come to see you in a couple of days."

Knowing her best friend will come to see her in a couple of days, so Xiao Keyi wasn’t so anxious about the current issues, thinking to ask about it in a few days instead.

At this moment, the butler and Old Master Xiao were watching the young couple from behind, and suddenly felt the two were a match made in heaven.

More so, since the car accident, the granddaughter hadn’t been so happy. Thinking of this, Old Master Xiao set his sights on Xu Ke.

He wondered what charm this young man had to make his granddaughter so fond of him. Just a few months ago, she didn’t like anyone, but within less than a month, her heart seemed glued to this young man.

The butler coughed beside him, nudging his old friend: "What’s wrong, old friend? They’re almost inside already. If we don’t catch up, we’ll be left behind."

Hearing the butler’s words, Old Master Xiao quickly moved forward: "Let’s hurry then. It’s quite chilly here."

As Xu Ke and Xiao Keyi just reached the ward, Xu Ke poured Xiao Keyi a glass of water and saw the old master entering with a strange smile on his face, causing Xiao Keyi to flush with embarrassment.

Because her grandfather had asked her before how she felt about Xu Ke, now seeing her grandfather, she hoped he wouldn’t overthink it.
