Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 445: Chapter 445: Admitting Mistakes

"I don’t admit it," Wang Donghai said, forcing down the nausea from his dizziness.

"Very good, I like people who are stubborn like you," Xu Ke laughed out loud, his voice as elegant as a cello, causing the two lackeys beside Wang Donghai to shudder suddenly. They were like two quails, hanging their heads low. Xu Ke knew that their gazes towards him must be filled with hatred, and in their hearts, they probably wished they could flay and dismember him, but they had no choice but to endure as they stood there.

Thinking of this, Xu Ke’s smile became even more pleasant, even carrying a touch of gracefulness. But the actions of his hands were far from graceful as he pressed Wang Donghai’s head, repeatedly pounding it on the floor. Each thud was solid, not a single hollow sound, the dull thuds making everyone’s hearts turn cold. But Xu Ke’s actions showed no sign of stopping, as if what he was slamming onto the ground was not a person’s head but a ball.

"If you regret and want to beg for mercy, you can stop anytime. If you don’t call out, we’ll just keep doing this. I don’t mind getting tired," Xu Ke’s indifferent voice sounded in Wang Donghai’s ear.

In reality, Wang Donghai could no longer clearly hear what Xu Ke was saying by this point. All he felt was the world spinning before him, giving him the illusion of stepping on clouds. With effort, he hooked his finger, touching Xu Ke’s ankle, and Xu Ke’s actions ceased. Seeing Wang Donghai’s dilated pupils, looking as if he didn’t know night from day, Xu Ke refrained from further action, allowing Wang Donghai some time to recover.

After a while, when Wang Donghai’s gaze gradually focused, Xu Ke spoke again, "Do you want to apologize to us now?"

"It’s my fault, I apologize, I apologize," Wang Donghai’s vision was still a bit blurry and dark, but hearing Xu Ke’s voice made his forehead ache uncontrollably. His whole body trembled for reasons unknown, looking particularly pitiable, but it did not evoke a shred of sympathy from Xu Ke.

"Since you’ve thought it through, do it yourself. I assume you wouldn’t want me to handle it, right?" Xu Ke asked. noveldrama

Being dealt with by Xu Ke, Wang Donghai immediately became well-behaved. His forehead was purple and shiny from being struck by Xu Ke and was swollen with a trace of blood.

"Don’t just stand there, get on with it. We have things to buy, and lingering on you is really wasting my time. Hurry up," Xu Ke stood from the ground, looking down at the kneeling figure who painstakingly knocked his head on the ground in apology.

"I apologize for my rashness today, please forgive me," Wang Donghai tapped his head lightly, his voice barely discernible from Yu Xia’s whisper.

"The apology is not sincere enough, louder," Xu Ke said from the side.

Wang Donghai paused for a moment, first closing his eyes, then revealing a resigned expression, as if he had finally made up his mind, and spoke again, "I am a beast, I spoke out of turn, I deserve to die, please do not blame me. I was wrong, I am not human, I am a beast, blinded by greed, unable to recognize the mighty. Please forgive me." Wang Donghai nostalgically slapped his own face and banged his head heavily on the ground, speaking in a much louder voice.

Lin Mengyao pulled Yu Xia closer, pressing her head onto her own shoulder to prevent her from witnessing this scene. In fact, since Xu Ke started taking action, Lin Mengyao hadn’t let Yu Xia look in Xu Ke’s direction for even a second, fearing that Xu Ke’s actions might frighten her.

Looking at Wang Donghai’s miserable state now, Lin Mengyao was deeply grateful for her decision.

"Alright, that’s enough. If we catch you harassing any girls like this again, we won’t go easy on you. Don’t linger here, get lost, you’re an eyesore," Lin Mengyao frowned and scolded in a low voice.

Hearing that he could finally leave, Wang Donghai sighed in relief. However, now that he let down his guard, Wang Donghai, who had suffered multiple head blows, completely fainted and fell to the ground, startling Lin Mengyao.

"Is he going to be okay?" Lin Mengyao asked Xu Ke softly.

"He’s just fainted," Xu Ke glanced at the opponent, feeling certain. Turning to the two lackeys trying to slip away, he said, "He’s not dead, taking him to the hospital now would just diagnose him with a concussion. But if you leave him here and run, you’d better think about what’ll happen to you two when he wakes up."

Hearing Xu Ke’s words, the two stopped in their tracks. After looking at Xu Ke and then at the prone, condition-unknown Wang Donghai, the two exchanged glances. Resolving their minds, they came over to Wang Donghai, checked his breathing, and relaxed after finding it steady, even wiping the sweat off their foreheads. But when they looked up to find Xu Ke, they realized that he and his group had vanished without a trace.

Yu Xia was released from Lin Mengyao’s embrace only after they were out of sight of Wang Donghai.

As soon as Yu Xia was free from Lin Mengyao’s arms, her eyes reddened. She stood nervously in front of Xu Ke and Lin Mengyao, biting her lip before speaking, "I’m sorry, as soon as I step out, I bring you trouble. I’m just a troublemaker. Please don’t take me out with you again; being with me only brings trouble to you."

Xu Ke frowned at Yu Xia’s beaten look but still reached out to pat her on the head, saying, "Enough, this had nothing to do with you. He brought it on himself by provoking others, he deserved the beating. We’ve been out for quite a while; let’s go eat, and I’ll tell you another thing over the meal." Xu Ke said, checking the time.

Yu Xia was taken aback by Xu Ke’s sudden head pat. No one had ever touched her head like that, and she found the sensation unexpectedly pleasant. But before she could fully enjoy the sensation, Xu Ke withdrew his hand. Yu Xia didn’t have time to feel a sense of longing as Xu Ke’s words pulled her focus entirely.

She didn’t know what Xu Ke wanted to tell her at dinner and felt a bit nervous, slowing her pace unknowingly.

Noticing Yu Xia’s worry, Lin Mengyao took Yu Xia’s hand gently and said, "What he wants to tell you is good news, so don’t worry." As she spoke, Lin Mengyao tidied Yu Xia’s somewhat messy hair.

Lin Mengyao’s eyes reflected kindness as she looked at Yu Xia, growing increasingly satisfied with her.
