Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 447: Chapter 447: Trouble at School

Just when everything was moving in a positive direction, an unexpected change appeared in Yu Xia’s life, and this change was right in front of her at this moment.

"School’s out, I want to go home. Could you please move aside?" Yu Xia pursed her lips and spoke to the boy blocking her way.

The boy didn’t hear what Yu Xia said at all. He reached out to grab her hand, wondering why they wore the same school uniform yet she looked so cute, like a little sticky rice dumpling or a fluffy cub. It made one wish to shrink her down and pocket her away from everyone’s sight.

Seeing the boy dazing at her and reaching out to tug her, Yu Xia quickly stepped back and spoke again, "My family should be waiting for me outside, can you let me pass? If I don’t go out, they might get worried."

The boy finally snapped out of it but his words weren’t pleasant, "I’ll let you go if you agree to be my girlfriend. If you don’t, then we’ll just stay here today, and if your parents come looking, that’s even better. I’ll go ahead and reveal our relationship right in front of them."

"What is there to reveal in our relationship?" Yu Xia, feeling a bit uneasy, quietly moved another step back, her eyes also showed some disgust.

"Of course, it’s our romantic relationship," the boy said smugly with his nose in the air.

"When did we become a couple? I remember I never agreed, stop talking nonsense." Yu Xia was getting angry, her face turning a bit red.

She had finally gotten the happiness she enjoyed now and didn’t want to lose it. If her sister found out she was in a relationship at such a young age at school, she’d surely be disappointed in her. What if one day she doesn’t acknowledge her anymore? Just the thought made Yu Xia shiver in fear; she couldn’t allow such a thing to happen to herself.

Initially, Yu Xia only found the boy a bit annoying, but now she was downright disgusted. Just seeing his face made her feel a fire rising in her heart.

But the boy was oblivious to what Yu Xia was thinking; he just thought she looked even cuter with her cheeks flushed. "It won’t help if you don’t agree. If your family sees us, they’ll believe me. They’ll think you’re lying, just a liar. So will you be my girlfriend? If you say yes, I won’t tell your family about this."

"Really? I trust there’s nothing between Yu Xia and you," Xu Ke’s voice came from around a corner, and then he appeared in their sight, clad in a suit.

Seeing Xu Ke was the one picking her up, Yu Xia’s tight grip on her backpack instantly relaxed, and a relieved smile appeared on her face.

"How long have you been here?" Yu Xia asked.

"Not long, just in time to hear your conversation." Xu Ke said as he walked over towards them. His strong presence left the boy stupefied without any action. It wasn’t until Xu Ke pulled Yu Xia past him that he reacted and grabbed Yu Xia’s other arm.

"Let go of me, I want to go home." Yu Xia was startled by the grip, and once she gathered herself, she began to struggle and let out small pleas.

"Didn’t you hear what Yu Xia said? Let go. She wants to go home." Xu Ke coolly watched the boy, whose hand involuntarily released under his gaze, though he didn’t give up. "Who are you to Yu Xia?"

"What does it matter to you who I am to her?"

"True, it’s none of my business, but no matter what your relationship is, Yu Xia is the woman I like. I will pursue her, and no matter who you are, you can’t stop us from seeking happiness and true love." The boy clenched his fists, and though his thoughts were unclear, he seemed fired up, looking at Xu Ke with a burning battle spirit.

"First, let me remind you, Yu Xia is a minor. She’s just a little girl still attending school. If you want her to be ’your woman,’ are you aiming to go to jail?" Xu Ke paused his steps, gazing at the boy as if he were an idiot.

"And if I catch you bothering our Yu Xia again, I’ll report you to the school administration. I imagine you’d be quite thrilled to see a major violation recorded in your file. Plus, I’ll have a good talk with your parents about your upbringing. If they can’t or won’t discipline you, I’d be happy to step in." The last two words were filled with menace, causing the boy to shiver as if he were standing in a chilling winter wind, nearly freezing his blood.

As they walked out of the school building with Yu Xia, Xu Ke let go of her wrist only when the boy didn’t follow them. "Next time you encounter this kind of situation, report it to a teacher immediately instead of facing it alone. You’re at a disadvantage against boys by yourself."

"But telling a teacher means bringing parents in, and you all are so busy with work. I don’t want you to make a special trip over such a little issue." Yu Xia said softly from behind Xu Ke.

Even though they had been living under the same roof for over a month, Yu Xia’s habit of speaking softly hadn’t changed.

"Time does fly. You’ve been with us for over a month now. Yaoyao and I are planning to visit the South next month, for a month. You haven’t gone on a trip with us before; would you like to join us this time?" Xu Ke suggested as they left the campus and got into the car.

"I don’t have any pressing coursework here; I’ve already covered it all. I can leave whenever." The idea of traveling to the South made Yu Xia’s eyes light up. She had never traveled far for leisure, only within neighboring provinces a few times. noveldrama

"Alright, then get your things ready when you get home today. We’ll leave tomorrow. I’ll handle your leave from school." Hearing there was no problem with school, Xu Ke decided swiftly with just a few words and put everything into motion.

By the next evening, when Yu Xia looked out at the endless sea from her hotel room window, she was still in disbelief at how quickly Xu Ke had acted.
