Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 961 - 960: Home

Tangtang and Guoguo didn’t know how long they had been waiting in the room, only that they stayed until the end. Because they had been sitting for so long, their legs had gone numb.

When Xu Ke came in to call them, their bodies unconsciously staggered a bit, standing in place for quite a while before they could gradually begin to move their legs.

"Are you feeling better? Can you walk?" Xu Ke asked, looking at Tangtang and Guoguo.

Actually, their legs hadn’t fully recovered. The places that had gone numb felt like they were pixelated, all a jumble, with a slight tingling sensation like an electric current.

But the sisters still nodded and followed Xu Ke out of the room.

Xu Ke didn’t hide anything from the sisters. When they came out, they saw bodies all over the yard.

The reason they were called bodies was that they were covered in blood, and their chests showed no rise and fall, looking dead.

"Them..." Tangtang looked at the people lying on the ground, hesitated to speak, and turned to Xu Ke.

"Are you wondering if they are alright?" Xu Ke glanced at Tangtang and asked.

"They are already dead. The law couldn’t punish them, so I took matters into my own hands, sparing them from harming good girls from other families," Xu Ke said indifferently.

Even though they were somewhat prepared in their hearts, hearing it directly was a different feeling.

Tangtang and Guoguo were shocked Xu Ke admitted his wrongdoings so openly, directly confessing to the killings.

The sisters were hit by shock for a moment, their steps faltering, faces with disbelief, watching Xu Ke ahead of them.

"What? Are you scared?" Xu Ke looked at Tangtang and Guoguo standing in place and asked.

The sisters were indeed shocked by Xu Ke’s words.

But they knew Xu Ke was a good person; he was acting in the name of justice, not letting these scum roam free, abducting innocent women and possibly children, ruining more families.

Such scum deserved no less than death.

"We know you’re doing this for justice, removing pests from society. But shouldn’t we deal with the bodies? Leaving them here so blatantly, isn’t that inappropriate?" Guoguo asked Xu Ke with a hint of uncertainty.

Xu Ke initially thought Tangtang and Guoguo might be afraid of him, perhaps pretending not to know him or considering calling the police to report him. But he was surprised that their concern was about the bodies.

Xu Ke found them pitiable yet adorable, even slightly amusing, and he laughed following his heart.

"Why are you laughing? Did I say something wrong?" Guoguo was puzzled by Xu Ke’s laughter, looking even more bewildered.

"No, you’re right, but it’s unnecessary. No one comes here, and even if their bodies rot, no one will find them," Xu Ke said.

"I won’t be caught, so don’t worry." Xu Ke reassured the still nervous Tangtang and Guoguo.

"I’ve made some fish and chicken at home. It might be cold now, but reheating it should still taste good." Xu Ke changed the subject.

"Don’t dwell on these things here, let’s go back for dinner." Xu Ke suggested.

Despite some remaining anxiety, seeing Xu Ke’s calm demeanor, the sisters finally suppressed their unease, got into Xu Ke’s car, and returned home with him.

On the dining table were indeed the fish and chicken Xu Ke mentioned, along with two stir-fried vegetables and a soup; it was a very hearty dinner.

"Should we reheat it or eat out?" Xu Ke asked, looking at the cold dishes.

"Let’s eat at home; it’s already prepared, and we haven’t tasted your cooking yet." Tangtang said, looking at the dishes.

If you looked closely, you would notice her eyes were slightly moist, akin to galaxies shining brightly.

Since she and her sister matured, they have been responsible for all meals and housework at home, she hadn’t eaten someone else’s cooking in a long time.

At this moment, Tangtang felt a sense of home here, though they’d only stayed one night, strangely finding a sense of belonging.

From this moment, this place felt like more than a temporary shelter, it became an emotional refuge.

"Then why don’t you take a shower while I heat the dishes? It’ll be ready by the time you’re finished." Xu Ke suggested to the sisters.

In the morning, the girls left home clean, but after everything, their clothes were dirty, and they smelled sour from sweat.

They hadn’t noticed anything until Xu Ke reminded them, blushing and embarrassed, they darted to their room, slamming the door shut.

Xu Ke watched them flee in embarrassment, a sly smile appearing, like a fox with a successful plan.

Xu Ke thought a little teasing was enjoyable.

When they came out again, the dishes were ready, and Xu Ke had even cooked two more dishes and replaced the soup.

"You timed it perfectly, sit down and eat." Xu Ke called out to the sisters standing still.

For some reason, Xu Ke felt like a father looking at Tangtang and Guoguo as his daughters.

Although he didn’t have children, nor considered having any, looking at the freshly bathed sisters, Xu Ke suddenly thought having a daughter might be nice.

Daughters are sweet and obedient, with a milky scent, like little kitten, just thinking about this made Xu Ke feel happy.

Especially if this little kitten had a face like Lin Mengyao, the feeling was indescribably wonderful.

If there were a daughter like Ariel, she would be like an angel.

No, he couldn’t think further; going down this path would abandon his tasks, only wanting to go home and have children.
