Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 400: Chapter 400 Stimulation

Ariel was woken by the servants at dawn. Having been used to sleeping on a spring bed, suddenly spending a night on a sofa, even though it was soft enough, made Ariel’s whole body uncomfortable. Every movement made her bones crack, which was really unbearable. Strangely, Ariel didn’t feel very angry, but instead, she became more interested in Xu Ke.

In her heart, a voice clearly and loudly shouted again, "You want this man, you want to obtain him."

"Miss?" The black maid who woke Ariel up said cautiously in a low voice.

"There’s no need to mention this to anyone, just pretend it never happened. Oh, and inform the butler to find me in my room later," Ariel waved her hand and said, wearing an angelic smile that made the black maid shiver unconsciously.

In the room, Lin Mengyao opened her eyes and stretched lazily, "I slept really well yesterday, I feel much better today." Lin Mengyao said with a sleepy blush on her face.

Xu Ke reached out, touching Lin Mengyao’s cheek, "Is there any discomfort in your body?"

"No, why do you ask?" Lin Mengyao’s eyes widened slightly, her narrow eyes rounding gently, giving her an innocent, childlike simplicity. noveldrama

"Nothing, I was afraid I slept too soundly yesterday and accidentally hit you in my sleep." Xu Ke told an unconvincing lie, but Lin Mengyao, who had unconditional trust in him, didn’t hesitate at all.

The two spent a while longer in the room, then finally went to the dining room where Ariel sat at the table. She greeted them as if nothing had happened yesterday. Her gaze swept briefly over Xu Ke, then she affectionately took Lin Mengyao’s hand and said intimately, "I kept you busy all day yesterday, is your body okay today?"

"I slept very well last night, and it wasn’t anything physical, so I’m fine now, thank you for asking." Lin Mengyao replied with a smile.

"That’s great, I’ve never had such a fun time in my life." Ariel clasped her hands over her chest, appearing joyful, "Since you’re feeling okay, let’s go bungee jumping or ride a glider or hot air balloon today. I want to try all the activities I’ve never done before while you guys are still with me, so I won’t have any regrets." Ariel’s expression had a touch of melancholy in her determination, melting Lin Mengyao’s already soft heart.

"You won’t refuse me, will you? If you’re afraid and can’t join me, just watch me from the side, and that would be great for me." Ariel’s eyes reflected a resilient yet pitiful look, almost triggering Lin Mengyao’s nurturing instinct. Fortunately, she remembered Xu Ke was present, and she didn’t agree immediately, but looked at him inquiringly until Xu Ke nodded before she agreed to Ariel’s request.

"That’s wonderful, I knew you were the best to me." Ariel hugged Lin Mengyao’s arm and coquettishly stopped the interaction between Xu Ke and Lin Mengyao.

After chatting more with Lin Mengyao, Ariel suddenly slapped her forehead and said seemingly inadvertently, "The butler told me this morning that a chef specializing in Chinese cuisine will be coming to the house in a few days. You can have some hometown food when they arrive, isn’t that exciting?" Ariel looked at Lin Mengyao expectantly, her eyes shining brightly.

Lin Mengyao wasn’t foolish. Hearing Ariel’s words made her heart skip a beat. What did this mean? Were they planning to trap them here forever? A hint of panic appeared deep in Lin Mengyao’s eyes.

No one at the table was stupid, the atmosphere became awkward due to Ariel’s sudden words, yet the culprit focused on eating her food as if nothing had happened, occasionally showing a look of enjoyment.

Xu Ke gave Lin Mengyao a reassuring glance and also concentrated on eating, but his eyes darkened.

He couldn’t figure out what this crazy woman was planning. After what happened yesterday, she could still act normal today, laughing with them. Her psychological resilience wasn’t average, and the danger level had to be raised. Even though she seemed harmless now, he couldn’t forget she had killed her friend, preserved her as a specimen, locked her in a box, and placed it under the bed.

No matter what Xu Ke thought, after breakfast, they followed Ariel to the bungee jumping site.

The bungee jumping site was a cliff, with a rushing river below. Just a glance made their legs feel weak.

"This is too high," Lin Mengyao swallowed hard, nervously clutching Xu Ke’s sleeve.

"It’s actually fine, there’s nothing to be scared of, and the safety measures here are excellent, there won’t be any accidents. Rest assured, if they dare have an accident, my dad won’t let them off, he’ll make sure their next life is worse than death," Ariel said lightly, blinking her big eyes.

"Don’t worry, our safety measures here are foolproof. We’ve been in business for so long and nothing has ever happened," the person responsible for them said.

The speaker was a woman, but with a muscular build, combined with a cheerful and friendly demeanor when she smiled, her words were firm, reducing a lot of Lin Mengyao’s fear. Looking again, it didn’t seem so terrifying.

"Who wants to go first?" the person in charge asked.

"I’ll go first, since it was my suggestion after all." Ariel spoke while excitedly watching the person in charge busily preparing, her grin never leaving her face.

When all preparations were complete, at the moment the staff stood behind Ariel and pushed her off, Lin Mengyao’s heart leapt into her throat, but soon Ariel’s cheers echoed between the cliffs, easing Lin Mengyao’s heart.

"That really scared me," Lin Mengyao said, patting her chest. She felt her legs were weak, her feet unsteady. Without Xu Ke supporting her, she might’ve collapsed. The thrill from bungee jumping was indeed overwhelming.

Soon Ariel returned, her face glowing with undisguisable excitement, her cheeks charmingly flushed, quickly drawing the attention of people queueing up to play.

"I want to go again, Yaoyao, will you join me? Let’s go together, it’s really fun, you feel like a bird flying in the sky, it’s so intriguing, come join me," Ariel said, hugging Lin Mengyao’s waist and acting cutesy.
