Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 446: After modification: Chapter 446 Dry Sister

Since she was a child, she had always wished for a younger sister. When Lin Mengchen was born, she felt an indescribable joy. She thought they would be sisters for life, but never expected things to end up this way. Yu Xia’s arrival fulfilled Lin Mengyao’s dream of having a sister. Yu Xia was exactly the ideal sister Lin Mengyao wanted, obedient, sensible, and well-behaved.

The more Lin Mengyao looked at Yu Xia, the more she liked her. However, Xu Ke felt nothing for Yu Xia. Initially, he saved her because of her eyes and her desperate yearning for life. But who would have thought she brought home a crybaby, with no temper at all, like a little dough, crying 800 times a day. It was maddening.

Xu Ke drove the two of them directly to a restaurant under his family’s name. After some renovations, it had undergone a dramatic transformation compared to when Xu Ke first arrived and now had more return customers.

Xu Ke took Lin Mengyao and Yu Xia directly to his private room. Not long after the three of them sat down, the restaurant’s manager got the news and rushed over. "I didn’t know you were coming, Mr. Xu. Forgive me for not greeting you sooner. Will today’s menu be the usual?" The manager stood behind Xu Ke like an ordinary waiter, waiting for instructions.

"Bring the menu and let her take a look." Xu Ke tapped the table, glancing at Yu Xia.

Those working here are no fools. Noticing Xu Ke specifically mentioned Yu Xia, the manager looked at her with more enthusiasm, hiding other emotions beneath it. He handed the menu to Yu Xia and respectfully stood behind her, waiting for her orders.

Yu Xia felt uneasy under the sudden attention. She slid the menu towards Lin Mengyao, whispering, "I don’t know what to order. Why don’t you decide, sister? I’m not picky with food."

Seeing Yu Xia’s nervousness, Lin Mengyao didn’t hesitate. She directly added a fish and a chicken dish to the menu and handed it back to the manager.

After the manager and staff left, closing the door behind them, the room was left with just the three of them, making Yu Xia even more nervous. Her breathing involuntarily grew deeper. She glanced at Lin Mengyao and Xu Ke secretly, her mind a jumbled mess.

Just then, a hand touched Yu Xia’s hand, startling her.

"There are two things I want to tell you today. One is about your school transfer. We’ve arranged everything; you’ll start at No.1 Middle School tomorrow. I’ll take you then. The other thing is that I feel we have a special connection. You already call me sister; if you don’t mind, how about considering me your god-sister?" Lin Mengyao finished speaking, looking expectantly at Yu Xia.

"Are you saying you want me to be your sister?" Yu Xia was dumbstruck by the sudden revelation. The school transfer had been discussed before, so it wasn’t too surprising to her. But this was beyond surprise; Yu Xia’s mind stopped working at the news. Her mouth hung open in shock, looking dazed and dumbfounded.

"Yes, what do you think?" Lin Mengyao asked again.

"You want me to be your sister? Is this for real?" Yu Xia’s stalled brain slowly started to function again. She couldn’t quite believe what she had heard. So, she asked once more, placing her hands underneath the table, and initiated holding Lin Mengyao’s hand.

Feeling Yu Xia’s unease and nervousness, Lin Mengyao nodded with a smile, repeating herself.

Only then did Yu Xia confirm she hadn’t misheard. The other party really wanted to acknowledge her as a sister. Yu Xia was so happy that her eyes turned red, and the next moment, tears uncontrollably fell, "I would love to, sister. I finally have a sister," Yu Xia said, smiling through her tears.

Lin Mengyao, for some reason, seemed to have been affected by Yu Xia, and the two of them started crying together, leaving Xu Ke sitting on the side, rather bewildered. He couldn’t figure out how things had escalated to this point. One became a god-sister while the other became a god-brother. Wasn’t this supposed to be a joyous occasion? Yet, why did the two start crying?

Fortunately, the tears didn’t last long. After drying their faces, the manager brought the food. This meal turned out to be a very happy one. Lin Mengyao was continually adding food to her newly acknowledged little sister’s plate, completely ignoring Xu Ke. Yu Xia, in turn, finished everything Lin Mengyao gave her and even served Lin Mengyao, too. The smiles on their faces lasted all the way home.

For the first time in his life, Xu Ke felt like an invisible man standing next to the two of them, casting an annoyed look at Lin Mengyao. But Lin Mengyao was entirely engrossed in her new cute and obedient sister, paying no attention to Xu Ke at all.

Xu Ke silently endured without saying anything. Once home, as soon as the bedroom door closed, Xu Ke pulled Lin Mengyao down, exerting so much effort that Lin Mengyao was left exhausted, barely able to move a finger, her voice hoarse before he was satisfied enough to let her go.

"What the heck is wrong with you?" Lin Mengyao asked hoarsely, sipping some warm water and giving Xu Ke a sidelong glance, her eyes tinged with allure.

"I’m jealous. Ever since we got to the restaurant, all you’ve had eyes for was the sister you just acknowledged. You didn’t even give me a glance, treating me like I was invisible. Why shouldn’t I be allowed to feel jealous?" Xu Ke said defiantly, pulling Lin Mengyao into his arms. noveldrama

"Jealous of a girl?" Lin Mengyao’s face was overwhelmed with shock. But after the shock passed, it turned into endless loneliness and bitterness.

Xu Ke used to never say such things, but now he could say them so easily. It was obvious because of whom. The realization that her man bore marks of another woman pulled Lin Mengyao’s feelings to rock bottom.

"What’s wrong? Why aren’t you responding when I’m talking to you?" Xu Ke shook Lin Mengyao.

"Nothing, just a little tired. I think I’ll sleep now. Let’s talk tomorrow if anything comes up," Lin Mengyao said, closing her eyes. Xu Ke, aware of how hard he had been on her earlier, didn’t think too much of it. He wished her a good night and soon fell asleep. Lin Mengyao, though, even as she said she wanted to sleep, lay awake for nearly half the night before barely closing her eyes as dawn approached.

The next day, Yu Xia was taken to school by Xu Ke.

Time passed quickly, and everything began to get back to normal. Yu Xia’s household registration was moved elsewhere, and her guardianship transferred from the Yu Family to Lin Mengyao.

Everything from the past in the United States felt like a dream. Sometimes Lin Mengyao even thought those things were just her imagination. Not until she occasionally heard Xu Ke talking softly on the phone with someone else did Lin Mengyao vaguely recall those events were real. However, strangely, the bitterness within her heart was gradually diminishing.

Recently, Yu Xia encountered some minor troubles.

Over these past days, following Lin Mengyao raised her lifestyle to another level. No one came to take her for blood transfusions or bone marrow extractions anymore. She no longer worried about waking up in the middle of the night on a hospital operating table, missing a kidney or liver. As a result, Yu Xia quickly developed some fair, tender flesh on her previously slim frame, and her height increased by two centimeters. Though two centimeters might not be much, for Yu Xia, it was enough to make her happy.
