Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 490: Chapter 490 Collision

The taxi pulled over on the side of the road, and the man helped Yu Xia out of the car, one hand wrapped around her waist to prevent her from falling, and the other reaching out for his wallet to pay the fare.

"Yu Xia?"

Just as the man finished paying and the driver had left, a voice came from behind him, causing the man’s hands holding Yu Xia to suddenly freeze.

"Hmm?" Yu Xia heard someone calling her name again and instinctively looked in the direction of the voice, her eyes carrying a misty confusion that made Xu Ke’s face instantly turn gloomy.

The man saw Xu Ke’s reaction and knew it wasn’t good, but he was reluctant to just hand over the prey he’d already caught.

So the man pretended as if nothing had happened and tried to leave, only to have Xu Ke block his way.

"Where are you taking her?" Xu Ke stood in front of the man, looking at his face and asked coldly.

"Where we’re going shouldn’t concern you, right? What are you trying to do by blocking our way?" The man’s eyes revealed a trace of confusion, his gentle face making him appear particularly deceptive, but Xu Ke wasn’t buying it.

"The woman in your arms is my sister. You tell me if where you’re going concerns me or not? Give her to me; I want to take her home." Xu Ke said, reaching out to take Yu Xia, but the man blocked him.

"Sorry, I can’t give her to you. Just because you say you know each other doesn’t make it true. Such a conclusion is too arbitrary, and I can’t accept it. I have every reason to suspect you’re trying to take advantage of her because she’s beautiful, so I can’t hand this girl over to you unless you can prove your relationship with her. Otherwise, please step aside, or I’ll call someone over."

Although the man still smiled, his eyes had a faintly sharp, knife-like glint to them.

"I think you’re the one with such intentions." Xu Ke unflinchingly looked at Yu Xia, who could barely stand with the man’s support, and said, "Yu Xia, aren’t you getting up? Come home with me."

Yu Xia, already half-asleep, heard someone calling her name again, opened her eyes in a daze, and when she saw Xu Ke standing opposite, she frowned, looking somewhat angry and sad.

"What are you standing there for? Why aren’t you coming over? Weren’t you supposed to be with Yaoyao? How did you end up with a man, and why do you reek of alcohol? You’re so young, why are you even drinking? Aren’t you afraid of getting into trouble?" Xu Ke spoke bluntly, his gaze at Yu Xia filled with a feeling of dissatisfaction.

Seeing the two about to speak, the man immediately interrupted Xu Ke, not giving them any chance to talk, his hand around Yu Xia’s waist tightening slightly to divert her attention with subtle movements.

"Weren’t you saying you weren’t feeling well in the car? Let me take you to rest. Let’s go." The man, supporting Yu Xia’s waist, was about to leave. By now, the man slightly regretted bringing her to this place, knowing someone familiar to Yu Xia was here. He would never have brought her here, but it was too late for regrets. All he could do was take her away before more people gathered around.

"I said you can leave, but you have to leave her behind." Yu Xia took a step to block the man’s way again.

Now the man, seeing a crowd approaching, tore off his gentle mask, "I don’t want to quarrel pointlessly with you here. How much do you want? I’ll pay you to stop messing with my business."

"This girl caught my eye, and I used my skills to win her over. Do you think I’d just hand her to you? No way. If you’re wise, I’ll pay you to pretend you saw nothing. Otherwise, well, you won’t like what happens." The man’s finger jabbed hard into Xu Ke’s chest.

"On this island, no one dares speak to me like that. I’m curious to see how you plan to make me regret it." Xu Ke forcibly knocked away the hand jabbing his chest.

"Who you flirt with doesn’t concern me, nor do I want to know. But the woman in your arms won’t be leaving with you today. She’s my sister, and anyone she ends up with has to go through me first. You’re an opportunistic scoundrel, not even worthy of carrying my sister’s shoes."

Xu Ke’s words instantly darkened the man’s face.

The man, always proud, had never been spoken to like this. All he’d ever heard growing up were fawning words, never had anyone like Xu Ke pointed at him declaring he was unworthy.

"You think your sister is such a saint? She can just follow a man she doesn’t know, drink what he orders? Such an easy woman is probably just slightly pure-looking, but in reality, she’s a used shoe, long played out. I didn’t mind taking her, so she should be grateful. What right does she have to act high and mighty?"

A look of disdain crossed the man’s face as his hand on Yu Xia’s waist began to wander upwards, starting to touch more private places. Not waiting for Xu Ke to react, Yu Xia, who had been quietly leaning against the man, suddenly slapped him hard and fast, leaving no time for a response.

Xu Ke’s hand, which was about to rise, stopped because of Yu Xia’s slap, a slight smile appearing on his face. But Xu Ke didn’t forget his purpose, and while the man was still in shock, he quickly pulled Yu Xia out from his arms.

The man was so taken aback by Yu Xia’s actions that he forgot to act, dazedly touching his face, taking a while to process what had just happened.

The man licked his back teeth, his gaze fiercely locking on Yu Xia, then without warning, lifted his hand to strike at Yu Xia, only to be intercepted by Xu Ke halfway. noveldrama

"What do you think you’re doing?" Xu Ke blocked the man’s incoming slap with one hand, squinting slightly.

"What do you think I’m doing? Just a woman played by others, daring to hit me? I must teach her a lesson." The man’s furious expression destroyed any semblance of his previous gentleness.

But Xu Ke’s grip on his wrist was as tight as a vise, no matter how the man struggled, he couldn’t break free, making his already ugly face look even darker, turning as black as a pot bottom.

"Let go," the man gritted through his teeth, like he wished to devour Xu Ke whole.

"A man who hits a woman isn’t much of a hero," Xu Ke said with a faint smile.
