Supreme Heir Son-in-law-Chapter 1082 - 1081: Hastily Swallowed Without Chewing

"Kids, I really didn’t expect that in these two months, you’ve gone through so much... You must be tired.

If you’re tired, just rest at home for a while. Don’t worry, those people definitely can’t find us here right now; this is a new property I acquired.

Moreover, your father has been in the business world for so many years, just like your Uncle Lin, starting from scratch. We’ve always been great friends, so if you want to stay, feel free to stay there.

Also, I’ll handle some other issues on my company’s end as soon as possible and bring you all back safely. Don’t worry... no one has been able to do anything to me yet in all these years in the business.

Besides, if I can’t even protect my own daughters, what’s the use of having a company anyway!" Huyan paused after hearing Tangtang and Guoguo’s words, feeling his heart ache, but he had no better solution at the moment than to respect his daughters’ choices.

He never thought that his daughters would have gone through so much in just over two months away.

Watching them mature and grow bit by bit, Huyan felt both comforted and pained, with his heart filled with complex emotions.

"Guoguo, what’s our next step?" Tangtang asked her sister from her familiar little bed, looking up to the bunk above.

"I don’t know... but I have a feeling that we’re getting close to surpassing those people. However, the current situation is still a bit unclear, so we can only take it one step at a time."

Guoguo sighed as well, and the bed creaked loudly as the sisters tossed and turned, eventually prompting the maid to knock on their door.

"Miss? Are you okay?" The maid’s voice, perfect for singing opera, sounded awkward as she spoke such precise Chinese.

Though her pronunciation might be shaky, she had studied every word from the Xinhua dictionary.

It must be said, for such a handsome salary, the maid showed remarkable determination?

"It’s fine... sorry, Lisa, for disturbing you. My sister and I were just playing around."

Even though Lisa’s Chinese was now much improved compared to when she first arrived in the foreign country, Tangtang and Guoguo still kindly spoke to her in English. This kindness was something Lisa, once a stranger in a foreign land, deeply appreciated as it made her feel like she had found family.

In fact, Tangtang and Guoguo’s English was so flawless that, abroad, no one could detect any errors. If they dyed their hair light blonde, they’d undoubtedly be mistaken for locals.

If they kept their black hair, other foreigners would certainly think the sisters were Asian-Americans.

Yet every time they effortlessly switched between perfect Chinese and smooth accented English, foreigners around them would claim they couldn’t figure out where they belonged anymore, leaving them utterly bewildered.

"Miss, have you finished your fruit? I haven’t gone to bed yet and wanted to pick up the plate from your room. It’s the last thing I need to do before finishing my work today," Lisa’s patient English-accented voice came from behind the door, waiting quietly for the sisters’ reply.

"Ah, that..." Guoguo began to say that they hadn’t eaten at all, looking at the bountiful fruit on the plate, but Tangtang quickly covered her mouth.

Taking over, Tangtang said, "Lisa, we still have a little bit left. We’ll finish and bring the plate down to you, don’t worry, okay?"

"Okay, ladies... are you planning to sleep after finishing your fruit?" Although Lisa found the sounds coming from the room a bit peculiar, she didn’t think much of it.

After all, the sisters usually acted more lively at home, likely due to feeling more relaxed there.

"Yes, yes," Tangtang replied with a smile. Lisa immediately responded with a cheerful voice from outside the door, "Alright then, ladies.

When you come downstairs, please pick up the milk; it’s heated for you by the master. Drinking milk before bed is good for you, so make sure you both finish it."

Tangtang acknowledged, then heard Lisa’s disciplined footsteps descending the stairs, and finally released a breath, removing her hand from Guoguo’s mouth.

"Hey! Why did you cover my mouth just now? How could you tell Lisa we finished it? The plate is loaded, can you finish it all? I really don’t like dragon fruit!" Guoguo looked at her, feeling quite annoyed.

For some reason, whenever Guoguo encountered dragon fruit, no matter how good her mood or temper, she lost all interest.

Back then, Tangtang had joked that if on a date, a guy matched Guoguo’s ideal type but ordered dragon fruit dessert, Guoguo’s temper would ensure she stormed off the table, never to see him again.

Guoguo had no choice but to humor her, squinting her eyes with a grin.

But the situation was different now, Tangtang quietly said, "Hey, we still had our action stuff in the room just now. I couldn’t let Lisa walk in, right?"

"Oh... So to make up for what you promised Lisa, you have to eat all the dragon fruit on the plate! Otherwise, I won’t let you off!" Guoguo stomped her foot, disliking the dragon fruit as though it had wronged her in a past life.

"Come on, good Guoguo, help me eat some... I’m on a diet, haven’t even had dinner, don’t want to eat so much," Tangtang pleaded with a pitiful look, yet Guoguo remained cold and firm. For anything else, yes, but not when it came to dragon fruit!

Xu Ke had been extremely busy lately, but knowing from his assistant’s calls that Tangtang and Guoguo had returned home, he was now more at ease.

"Dad, you stay home, I’m off to work..." Lin Yi was just about to leave when Chairman Lin, who had been listening to "The Young Knight" in his room, rushed out, calling, "Hold on a moment..."

"Oh, no time, Dad. I brought the key, the mouthwash, and my bag... I haven’t forgotten anything else. Anyway, I’m about to be late for work, I’m heading out first." Lin Yi slipped into her high heels and hurried out.

"Girl... one moment." Chairman Lin held back his always-rushed daughter, Lin Yi, once more.

"It’s just, well, your wedding with that Su family’s boy is approaching." Chairman Lin sighed, finally getting the words out.

Lin Yi paused, feeling conflicted as her wedding date approached.
