Chapter 371: Chapter 371: The Way Home

If it were in the past, Xu Jiahui would definitely have noticed something was wrong, but after a night of torment, her mind was now filled with thoughts of leaving Xu Ke. She no longer cared what Xu Ke was saying, as long as she could leave, as long as there was a chance to make a comeback, Xu Jiahui thought with her head lowered.

"Grandpa Zhao, take her out." Xu Ke said towards the door.

"Thank you, thank you!" Xu Jiahui looked at the entering Housekeeper Zhao as if seeing a savior, totally forgetting it was this man who had pushed her into that room last night and called those more than ten men. She looked at Xu Ke with grateful eyes and kept kowtowing towards his direction. Although there was a carpet on the floor, the dull thump could still be heard.

She was as humble as a domesticated dog.

A hint of pleasure appeared in Xu Ke’s eyes, while Housekeeper Zhao looked on with a sympathetic gaze.

"Come with me." Housekeeper Zhao said.

Xu Jiahui followed Housekeeper Zhao out of the Xu Family home and got into an inconspicuous business car. She was too eager to leave, paying no attention to the slightest wrong in the situation or the exchanged glances between Housekeeper Zhao and the driver.

Xu Jiahui kept an excited mood along the way, until the car drove further away from the city and started towards a deserted small road. Only then did she realize something was wrong, but it was too late. She couldn’t possibly fight against a strong adult man. She had no choice but to be taken away from the city to a remote and backward mountain village, where she was abandoned at the village entrance, picked up, cleaned, and became the wife of the village’s bachelors.

This place was so remote and hard to find, not to mention without the internet, some homes didn’t even have electricity and were still using primitive candles. Xu Jiahui would inevitably spend the rest of her life here until death took her away.

Having dealt with Xu Jiahui and swallowed up her company’s assets, everything else in the company was on the right track again. Xu Ke, with nothing to do, decided to take Lin Mengyao to complete the trip to the U.S. that was left unfinished last time, and by the way, check out Sheng Wenhao’s caprices on the streets of the U.S.

After sharing his idea with Lin Mengyao, he received her full support, "Great, I haven’t gone out for a long time, and last time in the U.S. I didn’t get to enjoy myself thoroughly. This time I’m definitely going to have a blast before returning." Lin Mengyao’s eyes sparkled like a fawn looking expectantly at Xu Ke.

Looking into Lin Mengyao’s eyes, Xu Ke unconsciously softened his voice and gaze.

"Alright, now that everything in the company is on track, I no longer need to oversee things constantly. We have a lot of time to go out and play this time, and no one will disturb us." Xu Ke said, gently kissing Lin Mengyao’s forehead.

"Mm-hmm." Lin Mengyao nodded in satisfaction, showing a delighted smile.

The two of them sprawled on the bed, planning their trip with no care for appearances. After setting everything in motion, they laughed at each other, leaving only a note at home before taking all their documents and stealthily leaving the manor.

Behind them, Housekeeper Zhao watched the two escape through the window, a curious smile on his face.

"Still such kids at heart." Housekeeper Zhao exclaimed, his tone carrying a sort of compassionate empathy.

Neither Xu Ke nor Lin Mengyao told anyone as they rushed overnight to the U.S. By the time they got off the plane, it was already late at night in the U.S., with few vehicles and fewer pedestrians on the streets.

"Oh no, we haven’t booked a hotel. Where are we going to sleep now?" Lin Mengyao glanced at the homeless man lying on the street and then turned her gaze to Xu Ke, "You wouldn’t let me sleep like him, covered with newspapers on the ground, right?" Lin Mengyao gestured with her eyes for Xu Ke to look at the homeless man not far away, speaking with a hint of grievance.

Seeing Lin Mengyao’s expression, Xu Ke couldn’t help but laugh, "How could I possibly let my dear wife sleep on the ground? Didn’t you tell me you wanted to go to the nearby nightclub?" Xu Ke said, pinching Lin Mengyao’s prominent nose.

"Did I say that? When?" Lin Mengyao widened her eyes, asking with an innocent look.

"You said it on the plane." Xu Ke replied.

"Really? I don’t remember, but I do want to have some fun. I’ve never been to such a place before. I wonder if Mr. Xu would be willing to take me there." Lin Mengyao said with a smile on her cheeks.

"Of course, it would be my pleasure." Xu Ke took Lin Mengyao’s hand and planted a feather-like kiss on her fair hand.

The nightclub was extremely dim, "Hold onto me, don’t let go." Xu Ke shouted near Lin Mengyao’s ear.

The two had been married for a long time, but here in this foreign land, it felt like they were young lovers sneaking behind their parents’ backs, surrounded by the sweet scent of love and the slight awkwardness of shyness.

The Xu Family taught differently than others. Despite Xu Ke pretending to be inexperienced at playing in such places in front of Lin Mengyao, this was already a place he had long tired of. Compared to Xu Ke, this was indeed Lin Mengyao’s first time at such a place, and she was excited beyond measure.

The dance floor was filled with young girls and boys swaying their bodies passionately, infused with a restless energy of youth in the air, coupled with pulsating music. Soon, Lin Mengyao let herself loose and started moving her body along with the crowd. At this moment, she held Xu Ke’s hand, discarding all thoughts from her mind.

Despite having an Asian appearance, the world’s aesthetic standards for beauty were similar. Lin Mengyao, with her elegantly tapered eyebrows, carefully lined eyes, earthy-toned eye shadow, and fiery red lips coupled with her incredibly refined looks, soon attracted many members of the opposite sex on the dance floor.

They unabashedly ogled Lin Mengyao, and some even took advantage of the dance floor’s swaying motions to get close to her, trying to take liberties.

"This is my woman, stay away from her." Xu Ke pulled the unsuspecting Lin Mengyao into his arms, glaring coldly and fiercely at the hand that couldn’t retract in time, speaking coldly.

"Hey, buddy, that’s not right. A beautiful lady deserves to be pursued wherever she goes. You can’t deprive me of the right to court a beautiful lady." The blue-eyed man in front of Xu Ke calmly withdrew the hand that had tried to take advantage of him just a moment ago, transforming into a gentleman admiring ladies. He even bent down, attempting to offer Lin Mengyao a hand-kiss, but Lin Mengyao refused with a furrowed brow.

"But if this lovely lady doesn’t agree to your pursuit, then you’re just being a rogue." Xu Ke said, shielding Lin Mengyao firmly behind him, not yielding an inch.

"Are you really such a fierce person? How can someone like you make this lady happy? She must be very unhappy with you," the man said, shaking his head.
