Reborn: The Lion To Hunt The Wolf - Chapter 214

Yue Wan could not restrain her giggles as she listened to their words. This was the feeling of a family! She felt comfortable, unknowingly her heart ached for Xiao Hua’s presence.

Cough cough! Yue Xiang sent a deathly stare at his father and warned him to close his mouth as his image was being tarnished before his cute little sister.

Xiao Ran quickly changed the topic by asking Yue Wan about her exams: “What is the next plan after graduating high school? Hightstudy or … marriage.”

She nudged her elbow saying the last word.

“Marriage! Nha! Nah! My Little Wan is only sixteen years old, still young. She needs to learn more.” Yue Yeager quickly rebuked subconsciously.

Yue Xiang rolled his eyes and sneered: “What about that fiance list of yours you were working on the past few days?”

Yue Wan chuckled. Her Big Brother was secretly evil!

Gritting his teeth, Yue Yeager masked his annoyance. He playfully slapped his son’s shoulder with a little strength: “What are you saying? With my Little Wan’s beauty and intelligence, countless alliances are coming to our house. I was momentarily in a daze looking at those lists of names. Haha! I don’t know what to do with them.. hahaha! There is still a long way to go before marriage.”

Yue Wan sweatdropped with a forced smile.

Yue Xiang yelped in pain from his shoulder and covered his face with palm in embarrassment. ‘His father is totally shameless!’

“Ahem! Ahem!”

Clearing his throat, Elder Xiao said: “Ran, check whether our lunch is ready?”

At that time, Advisor Yu came personally and informed them the food was ready.

Hearing the word food, the little guy in the basket had his black ears twitched for a second.

….

—Dinner room—-

The dining hall and kitchen were only partitioned by a wall, separating the rooms from the great hall.

Yue Wan looked at the dishes and the soup that filled the table and she became speechless. Every dish was exquisite, they had; Golden Shark Fin Soup, Five Flavored Abalone, Manchu Pearl Meatballs, First Class Ginseng, Garlic Oyster Tempura, Plum Champagne Float, and Gregor Cheese Puff.

“The dinner is luxurious. You’ve prepared too much,” Yue Yeager exclaimed.

Elder Xiao had a stern face as he waved his hand: “It’s nothing much.”

Pushing Yue Wan to sit next to Elder Xiao, Xiao Ran giggled: “We don’t know what you like to eat so grandpa invited one of the sous chefs of Asia, Mr.Luke, to make all of these signature dishes. Look at how skinny you are! You need to eat a lot to be a little plum here.”

She said while poking Yue Wan’s tummy recalling Hua’s last phone call.

It was indeed sumptuous, they also have the eight signature dishes of City A. Furthermore, the dishes all complemented one another, showing the effort put into making the whole dinner.

The classic servant carefully served the appetizer of scallops with white truffles to them.

After everyone had sat down at the dining table, they started eating. Xiao Ran started to scoop dishes for Yue Wan nonstop.

Yue Wan shook her head: “Ran JieJie! I can’t eat this much.”

Cough cough! Yue Wan looked at her bowl which was filled with a mountain of food. ‘Do they treat me like a pig?!!’

At that moment, Elder Xiao said, “Ran, give her some soup to warm her body up before serving other dishes. Today’s weather is quite cold.”

Within a sec, three types of soup were pushed before her from every corner. Yue Wan helplessly sighed with a pout, she did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Yue Yeager found his daughter’s sulking face so cute and he laughed without holding back.

Hiding his expression, Yue Xiang’s lips were graced with an ecstatic smile. ‘The birth of Fatty no 2.’

Xiao Ran was unable to hold any longer so she chuckled out loud. ‘She is damn cute to tease. Brother, you’re so lucky.’

With a wordless expression like that, Yue Wan’s embarrassment reached its peak. “All of you here are just making fun of me! It’s not fair.”

That’s it, all three snickered in the union while covering mouth and temples.

The whole atmosphere was filled with sounds of happiness and laughter, making Elder Xiao feel some mixed emotions, he murmured “It’s been so long since the house was this lively.”

Xiao Ran knew what her grandpa meant, she smiled. “Everyone, let’s dig in. The food is getting cold as well as our little princess.”

They started to eat.

Elder Xiao watched Yue Wan’s every move as she ate, surprised at her grace and elegance which reminded him of Yue Wan’s mother. She really did resemble the late Mistress Yue in terms of looks and temperament. His impression of her already changed to the better after his Birthday crash and now he could feel that having her as his granddaughter in law was not a bad choice.

In the middle of their lunch, from the soft basket placed near Yue Wan’s side, our little guy was waking up in a daze from under his blanket after smelling something yummy.

Hmm?

Mommy!?

The little guy yawned, then opened his eyes and turned his head over left and right. The first thing he saw was his mommy and made a cute meow to grab her attention.

Yue Wan was deeply conversing with Xiao Ran, so she failed to notice this.

Little Bao sniffled the delicious aroma of the food and sneakily moved near Elder Xiao’s side to steal the meatball.

Hiding behind the basket, one by one the meatballs disappeared from the plate.

‘Huh?!’ With half-eaten meatball in his mouth, Little Bao blinked his round eyes. ‘Who found me?’

“A cat!!” Lifting the back cat close to his face, Elder Xiao was shocked beyond belief. They had only been distracted for a short while, how did this little guy eat all the pieces? First of all, where did he come from?
