Chapter 278

Li Xiao swallowed his words back down.

His resentful glare remained fixed on Xu Hao.

If looks could kill, Xu Hao would already be dead a thousand times over.

Xu Hao looked at him with a beam.

"Yunshu is right. We're truly together. I'm sure Xiao will understand us, right, Xiao?"

His tone was gentle.

However, his eyes were full of warning.

Li Xiao's eyelids twitched violently.

Understand?

Understand my ass!

Do you think I don't know how you got your hands on My sister?

Screw your "truly together"!

"Listen to your sister. For now, we won't tell your parents about the two of us."

With that, Xu Hao turned to look at Li Yunshu.

"Alright, Yunshu, let's head back. You don't need to go to work today, just rest at home for the day…"

Li Yunshu blushed deeply.

She gave Xu Hao a shy glare, as if saying—

"Isn't this all your fault?"

Before leaving, Xu Hao patted Li Xiao on the shoulder.

"At any rate, I'm your brother-in-law now. Remember to be obedient. If you run into any trouble, you can come to me."

Xu Hao and Li Yunshu gradually walked away into the distance.

Vaguely, his sister's shy and timid voice drifted over.

"What brother-in-law? That's so embarrassing…"

Li Xiao could no longer hold it in.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, clutched his chest, his face twisting in agony.

Pain, it hurt so much!

Xu Hao had Bai Ling drive them to Xia Qingge's rented apartment.

"Uncle Xu, I can go up by myself. Go ahead and tend to your business."

Hearing Xu Hao say he would escort her up, Li Yunshu hurriedly waved her hands.

She wasn't that delicate.

She could endure this bit of pain.

"I'm not busy. You need to take care of your body right now. Be careful walking upstairs…"

Xu Hao smiled at her.

"I also want to go up and see where you and Qingge live."

That last sentence was his real objective.

When he dated Xia Qingge, it was often in the office.

He had been to Xia Qingge's home a few times.

Every time, he would get Father Xia drunk…

While he had a great time,

Xia Qingge was a bit inhibited there.

So she rented an apartment outside.

He hadn't been there to check it out yet.

Today was a good opportunity to scout the place.

However, Li Yunshu thought it was just Xu Hao's excuse to walk her upstairs.

She felt moved in her heart.

Uncle Xu was so thoughtful.

When Li Yunshu reached the stairs and prepared to go up, she knitted her brows slightly.

"See what I said? You always try to act tough…"

Xu Hao chided gently.

Wrapping an arm around her waist, he helped her walk up.

Li Yunshu instantly felt much lighter.

Snuggling into Xu Hao's embrace, a warmth filled her heart.

Reaching the front door of the apartment,

Li Yunshu pulled out the key and unlocked it.

The apartment was quite spacious, with three bedrooms and a living room—plenty of room for activities.

Xia Qingge really understood him well.

Knowing how formidable he was and that he liked switching locations,

she had rented such a large place.

Xu Hao actually preferred doing it at her home—it was more exciting.

However, considering Xia Qingge couldn't let loose there,

and now there was another sister here,

it made up for it.

As for Xia Qingge's home—

He could just go over whenever he felt like it.

After taking a look around, Xu Hao instructed Li Yunshu to get some good rest.

He then left and returned home.

At home, the twin daughters, Shiqing and Hua Yi, had gone to school.

Xu Hongzhuang was practicing the piano in the study.

In the courtyard—

Xu Feiyan was still practicing martial arts diligently.

Su Wanqiu had gone to work at the beauty salon.

Her daughters had tried to persuade her to stay home and focus on her pregnancy,

but Su Wanqiu really couldn't just sit around, stating she had only just gotten pregnant and wasn't so delicate.

Considering her job also involved sitting in an office,

the daughters relented.

They cautioned her to carefully take care of her body.

To better protect the protagonist's stepmother, Xu Hao also arranged for stronger bodyguards to guard her.

Right now, only two daughters were at home.

No…

There was one extra person.

"Uncle Xu, you're finally back! I've been waiting for you all morning without seeing a sign of you."

A beautiful figure came running over.

Xiao Wanling spoke in a resentful tone.

Xu Hao smiled.

He was just brooding over not having had his fill with Li Yunshu, that minor female lead, earlier.

And now, his daughter's best friend had delivered herself right to his doorstep.
