Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 979 - 978: Self-Recommendation

The two sisters became even more infatuated with Xu Ke, believing there was no one better in the world than Xu Ke. Meeting Xu Ke in their lifetime was truly a blessing accumulated over their entire lives. They must have been good people in their past life—no, in the past ten lives—to encounter someone as good as Xu Ke.

Xu Ke was unaware of what the two sisters were thinking. He simply felt that the way they looked at him today was a bit strange, carrying some emotions he couldn’t comprehend or articulate.

"Do you have something you want to say to me today?" Xu Ke asked, looking at the two sisters who were constantly following him.

Xu Ke stopped his steps and turned to look at the sisters.

Faced with Xu Ke’s gaze, the two sisters lowered their heads in embarrassment. While their heads were down, subtle gestures continued in secret.

The two pushed each other, but neither spoke.

Watching their subtle movements, Xu Ke patiently waited for a while, seeing that neither was willing to speak.

Finally, he asked again, "Stop pushing each other. Just tell me what you want to say. There’s no need to hide it here."

The sisters knew they couldn’t keep it a secret any longer. Finally, Tangtang stepped forward and said, "I want to tell you something. It relates to our future. I hope you won’t be surprised or dislike us when you wake up."

Tangtang held her head high, looking at Xu Ke. Although she appeared extremely calm on the surface, only she knew how much she was about to faint from nervousness.

Xu Ke thought Tangtang was going to talk about the sisters’ work, assuming they had found some job they feared he wouldn’t like, so they intentionally came to tell him.

Therefore, Xu Ke decisively nodded, agreeing to Tangtang’s proposal.

"Alright, I won’t be surprised or dislike you. Just tell me what you want to say, otherwise, I can’t guess what you’re hiding," Xu Ke said.

The sisters took a deep breath, feeling uneasy and noticing their palms were unconsciously sweaty.

Tangtang wiped her palm on her pants and then, with a nervous heart, said to Xu Ke, "I like you."

Xu Ke opened his eyes slightly wider, not expecting Tangtang to say this. But his shock was just beginning, for Tangtang didn’t plan to stop.

"Not only do I like you, but my sister also likes you. But we’re not asking you to choose between us. We both want to stay by your side. We can accept a life of three people. How about you? Do you have any feelings for us? Do you like us? Do you want to live with us?" Tangtang gazed into Xu Ke’s eyes intently, her questions spilling out one after another.

This time, Xu Ke was truly stunned, his mind momentarily blank. He hadn’t expected anyone in the world to make such a request.

This request was utterly inconceivable; how could he agree to a life shared among three people?

"I know, us saying this suddenly, it’s hard for you to process. We’re not asking you to give us an answer right now. We can wait, truly, we can wait," Tangtang said hurriedly upon seeing Xu Ke’s hesitant expression.

The words she just spoke had already exhausted all her courage. At this moment, she didn’t want to hear Xu Ke’s response at all.

No matter whether the answer would be good or bad, right now she just wanted to hide away in her room, concealing herself without leaving even a tiny crack.

How did she have the courage to speak up just now? How was she able to utter such words?

It was simply too crazy—what would Xu Ke think of her after hearing that?

He would definitely think they were crazy, right?

The moment the words left her mouth, Tangtang regretted it immediately. Guoguo regretted even earlier than she did.

Before Tangtang even started speaking, she already regretted the decision she made today.

Especially upon seeing Xu Ke’s face, which showed no sign of joy but rather disbelief upon hearing Tangtang’s words.

Though Xu Ke quickly withdrew his expression, Guoguo, who stood silently observing him, caught it clearly.

If there were a crack in the ground at this moment, Guoguo would surely dive into it without hesitation, it was truly embarrassing.

What Guoguo was thinking was exactly what Tangtang had just mentioned, Xu Ke’s facial change at that moment didn’t escape the sisters’ eyes.

They were focused on every expression change on Xu Ke’s face, so when they saw that expression on his face, their hearts shattered.

Their only choice was to avoid the issue and avoid seeing Xu Ke.

The sisters didn’t give Xu Ke a chance to speak. After Tangtang finished speaking, they quickly fled the scene, rushing into their room, closing the door with a slam, and even locking it, leaving Xu Ke outside.

Xu Ke watched the sudden change unfold before him, unsure what expression to wear, the words he had been rehearsing dissipating on the spot.

He truly hadn’t expected that the people he cared for would develop such thoughts toward him. He helped them simply thinking of them as sisters, even sensing the shadow of Yu Xia in them.

Back then, Yu Xia was similarly a pitiful soul who met with such parents.

Though Tangtang and Guoguo’s parents didn’t treat them as mobile organ donors, their actions were equally vile.

Adding to that, Xu Ke remembered how Yu Xia had poor health before he left, yet due to unavoidable duties, couldn’t stay by her side.

It was seemingly a case of transference; Xu Ke, feeling guilty about Yu Xia, found his emotions intended for her being redirected to the sisters.

As if his kindness to the sisters would, through time and space, benefit Yu Xia.

Now, the situation had evolved to this, and he bore undeniable responsibility. Yet he didn’t plan to bring the sisters into his embrace.

Xu Ke knew clearly that his affection for the two sisters was that of a brother toward his younger siblings, mixed with many impurities.

Moreover, his love wasn’t the kind a man has for a woman, so he wouldn’t respond to their feelings. If the sisters couldn’t control their emotions, he’d have no choice but to send them away from this apartment, never to meet again.
