Reborn: The Lion To Hunt The Wolf - Chapter 229

Even though Elder Xiao knew they would meet again, he did not expect it to be so soon or so sudden. If not because of his grandson’s insistence, he wouldn’t have approached the Yue Villa in the middle of the night.

“Coming here today was to talk about Little Wan’s marriage. I heard that you are planning to fix her alliance with the Qin family. Is it true?”

“I haven’t made the decision yet.”

“Good.. then. I came at the right time.” Elder Xiao’s face relaxed a bit.

“Master Xiao, you seem to be very interested in my Little Wan’s personal life?”

Elder Xiao gently tapped his slender fingers on the table. “I have not meddled with the Yue’s affairs for years, but this time it’s for my child. Based on the current buzzing news on the City, you know the reason I’m here. You’re a smart child. You should know what I mean.”

How could Yue Yeager didn’t get it?

“Forgive for being rude,” Yue Yeager’s deep and calm voice was heard, then the crisp sound of the teacup placed on the table echoed. “I never discuss with the Xiao family regarding Little Wan’s marriage. The Yue family does not need to gain affiliations through marriage, neither do I agree with it. This is her life and she should marry a person who is kind and cares for her, not for which family she came from.”

Elder Xiao sighed softly and fell silent for a moment. Then, he continued: “I’m not asking this as Master of Xiao. I’m asking this as Xiao Hua’s grandfather. I would love to have Little Wan as the Mistress of Xiao.”

Upon hearing Elder Xiao’s words, Yue Yeager blanked out momentarily. “Huh!!”

“I know the things and schemes of the Li family planned upon Little Wan in the past. I also know that they had once sent someone to kill Little Wan and they had been in cahoots to deal with the Yue from the very beginning. Without the Xiao family’s help, you can deal with them easily but will it end there.”

The Wei and Li families’ existence were like that of an ant’s—they were simply insignificant to the Xiao family. Although the two families were in heated animosity and had become a laughing stock to the entire City, the other influential families could not help but reevaluate the capabilities of their ruler as they watched from the sidelines.

“It will be too much for my little girl. I want her to live a happy life. But becoming a Xiao….” Yue Yeager was reluctant to accept it.

If the two big families got united, then all the schemes of the influential families in the city would trouble his daughter. And the marriage, it was also to blow up the matter even more. It also served to send a warning signal to the other influential families, urging them to plot against his daughter. His life might be in danger.

“You feel the burden of the Xiao family might fall upon her, however, I promise you that she won’t suffer a bit inside the Xiao household. My grandson will protect her under his palm. With two united military strength, it will be impossible to even touch a hair on her head.”

Yue Yeager knew what Elder Xiao was implying, there were so many aristocrat families who wanted to use Little Wan’s marriage. Also that ‘Grace’ thing was creeping him out, down to his soul.

Regarding the First Elder of the Yue family, he didn’t have a good thought. He knew deep down that Yue Xue’s marriage with Li family was a plot to trap Little Wan.

The villa had grown quiet, Yue Yeager’s mind was full of ups and downs.

——Back at the base—–

The air was full of the crisp and fresh smell of flowers. The swaying candlelight, the warm roses, and the delicious food on the dining table formed a combination that set the standard for a candlelight dinner.

Sitting across from her, Xiao Hua helped her to cut her steak. It all seemed natural, and his actions were highly elegant.

Yue Wan looked at Xiao Hua blankly and was caught in a trance for a moment. She recalled all her past experiences and her eyes welled up in tears. She genuinely cherished her present life and was exceptionally grateful for the second chance.

Her tears glistened incessantly.

Xiao Hua didn’t notice Yue Wan’s expression and said in a silky voice: “It’s too hot, as I just took it out from the grill. So don’t burn your tongue,” his voice was lovely as usual, but today it was slightly hoarse and sėxy.

Sensing that there was no reply from the other side, Xiao Hua looked at her and saw her smiling in gee with full of love. “What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing. I just feel that you will be an extremely capable husband.”

“Did you only realize that now?” Xiao Hua smiled as he placed the piece on her plate. He gave a flying kiss, “Since we’re spending a lifetime together, you will end up discovering even more amazing things about me.” His eyes shone brightly. It felt like whirlpools had formed in his eyes and it suċkėd her in.

Yue Wan blinked her eyes and looked at Xiao Hua with a pout. “I feel like I’m in a long lost dream.”

Next second, Xiao Hua gently leaned forward and muttered seductively: “This will wake you up.” He planted a deep kiss on her lips.

Yue Wan tilted her head up and started to respond slowly. She was greedily taking in the steak flavor on his tongue and was truly immersed in that. She almost bit his tongue during the kiss.

The kiss ignited the spark between them, and it grew irrepressible. After it was over, he slowly started to lick her swollen lips. She sighed: “Hua,” her voice had sounded sweet and delicate, and it carried a minute hint of seduction.

Xiao Hua’s soul was shuddering uncontrollably. It desperately wanted to keep all of her within himself and within his body.

He leaned again and seeing this she leaned in to tase him.

However, someone was ruining the mood…

‘Grrrr! Grrrr!’ Sound of nail scratching the wood.

Both looked down and found the hidden culprit who was hanging on the edge of the table.

A cute cat was struggling to get on the table. Both its paws were on the edge of the table, and its round eyes were staring fixedly at the delicious food. It kept salivating. ‘Mommy, let me up. I never tasted this before.’

Seeing that he might have fallen down, Yue Wan took him up and placed him safely on the table. “Don’t be reckless.”

“Meow~” Wriggling from her grasp, Little Bao stubbornly looked at the delicious food on the table with drool.

“What are you doing here? Go back to your position.” Xiao Hua’s face sank as his slender fingers pinched Little Bao’s face all of a sudden.

“Meow~Meow~~” Little Bao complained not before he hurriedly freed himself from his clutch, he fled to his dumb mommy and rubbed his cheek on her ċhėst a pitiful manner.

Xiao Hua’s face had turned completely black at this point. His face became scarier and didn’t have any emotions, it was like a wild beast that could lose control anytime. His invisible tail frozen up in rage. ‘Woof!’

Looking at her jealous man and piglet son, Yue Wan couldn’t believe her eyes. To lighten the mood, she tried to coax her son first, believing that it will be easy, “BaoBao! Don’t disturb the dinner. Mommy will cook you a delicious steak.”

However, the more gentle Yue Wan was, the more stubborn Little Bao became. With a glistering tear in his eyes, he stared at his mommy with an expression, ‘You are chasing me away?’

Xiao Hua could no longer hold back and started to roll up his sleeves in order to trash this mischievous imp away.
