Reborn: The Lion To Hunt The Wolf - Chapter 232

—-With Yue Wan—

Yue Wan’s heart skipped a beat looking at the man kneeling before her. Her heart was beating so fast that she couldn’t take it any longer. If her heart continued to beat so fast, she was afraid she would die right there.

The air between them grew different. An unspeakable tension developed and surrounded them in their own small bubble.

Slowly, Xiao Hua took out the white ring box from his pocket.

‘Boom!’ Now the firecrackers were going off inside her head. She subconsciously gripped her skirt while her body grew hot.

Xiao Hua took a deep breath and slowly lifted the lid of the box. Holding it up to her, he said with a pause after every word: “There are three words that I’ve been dying to say to you since the day we met. Whenever I see you, they burn in my heart, like a fire that will never go out. I want to hold you tight during your sad days and comfort you. I want to wrap my arms around you so that I can protect and shield you from any danger. I want your lips on mine to prove that it was not a dream and that you truly did become a part of me…because of I….”

Biting her lips, Yue Wan willed herself to tilt her head upward and to restrain her tears from flowing down her cheeks. Her vision had already turned blurry as she continued to hold her breath, waiting for his next word.

Xiao Hua looked at her, his eyes filled with passion and enchantment. He said with a deep, hoarse voice, “Marry me, Wan.”

Those tears that she had so valiantly tried to hold back abruptly fell from her eyes and down her cheeks, as Yue Wan uttered, covering her mouth in shock. “Ah!”

“I only know one thing and that is that I don’t have any meaning without you…Will you be my reason for living? Will you be mine forever?” Xiao Hua’s heart was quivering uncontrollably. This time, all his emotions were reflected in his expression.

The chibi wolf in his heart was hiding his face in fear of what his cute wife would say. All of his hopes and dreams rested on the next few words to come out of her mouth. Crossing his fingers, he prayed, ‘Say yes~yes~Please say yes~~I swear to you that you will forever be the center of my world, that no one would ever love you as much as I would and do…’

All the past memories of him which had flooded her heart since her rebirth were all washed away as she looked at him, on his knees, promising to be hers for eternity. The words she had been yearning to hear for two lives had finally surfaced.

With swollen lips, teary eyes, and a trembling body, Yue Wan extended her hand out towards him and nodded her head violently, a beautiful smile lit up her face. Unable to contain herself any more, she breathed out the words that he was so desperate for. “I do! I do a million times and a million times again.”

The breath that was trapped in Xiao Hua’s lungs was finally released at her words. His mouth curved up and he gave an open mouth laugh with full of happiness, his handsome face now looked like a child who had finally received the treasure he had always wanted.

Taking the ring from the box, Xiao Hua slid it onto her ring finger and kissed it reverently before he stood up. “You are bound to me from this moment to all of eternity. There is no going back, Mrs. Xiao.”

Yue Wan who was drenched in happy tears, dove straight into his embrace as she hugged him tightly and hummed in response.

Hugging her as tightly as he could, like he wanted to make her body one with his own, Xiao Hua swung her in circles and made happy noises: “Whoooo!!!!!!”

Yue Wan clutching Xiao Hua’s shoulders in a panic and said, “Stop it, Hua. I don’t have the slightest bit of energy left.”

“I want the whole world to know this, ya..hoo…oo!!!” Xiao Hua was totally mad with happiness and there was no way possible to stop his goofy act.

The trio who heard the question and response gave each other a knowing smile.

As for the Little Knight, he had both a sad and a happy smile on his face. Seeing his mommy and daddy’s love, he knew what he had to do next.: ‘Looks like it’s time.’

—-At the same time—-

While Yue Wan and Xiao Hua were busy in their own world, someone had a tough time as their plan fell apart right in front of their eyes.

In the Li family, at this moment, Li Biyu was so frustrated that she was on the verge of killing someone. Ever since the news about Li Rong and Yue Xue’s engagement broke out, her backers had stopped contacting her. Furthermore, the mysterious man named Zhi Munan, who had been ȧssigned to stay by her side for linking the Empire City’s project with the Li crop under her guidance, also disappeared for no reason.

Not to mention, the sudden news of the heir of the Xiao family returning made things even more complicated. She knew very well about the close relationship between Yue Xiang and Xiao Hua in the past before his disappearance.

“Sh!t! Now it will be a double-edged sword when dealing with Yue Xiang. What do I do? What do I do? What do I do…” she murmured repeatedly like a broken record.

Gritting her teeth in anger, she threw away the pile of newspapers on her office table and cursed under her breath, “How the heck did this happen?”

I risked a lot in order to collaborate with them to get into this position, but now, he’s stopped contacting me out of nowhere. What does it mean? Are they going to abandon me?

At the thought of it, Li Biyu could not help but recall the multiple times Master Jin attacked her, leaving her close to death. Reliving those scenes again and again in her head, she broke out in cold sweat from head to toe. “He will kill me if he feels I’m not needed. There must be some type of miscommunication. I will contact them again.”

After the third ring, the call was picked up. Before she could speak and an angry voice roared: “So you do know how to be scared and fearful? If you know what fear is, then you should know the consequence of defying my orders.”

The icy voice was filled with murderous rage as it rang in Li Biyu’s ears, making her heart sink to the rock bottom. She felt weak and her body stiffened before turning into jelly. She collapsed onto the nearby couch. “I don’t know this… I was busy with the Empire project…They took it…”

On that day, when was busy dealing with the Empire project, she received a call from her grandfather to check the news.

After seeing the flashing news on TV, she hurriedly zoomed into her room and rummaged through her closet and found her contract gone. She was too late to spot things getting out of hand!
