Reborn: The Lion To Hunt The Wolf - Chapter 242

Sitting in the quieted hall, Yue Yeager was dumbfounded at the scene before him.

Two of the people kept exchanging glances over the table before them while one disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

The atmosphere abruptly plummeted.

Xiao Hua sat obediently near his father-in-law’s seat and ordered his knight, who was in his ȧssistant uniform, to place all the gifts he brought before Yue Yeager.

The numerous gifts that were placed before him were so exquisite that even the wrapping made it unique. A gift in pure white wrapping paper was pushed towards Yue Yeager. “Uncle Yue, these are the little things I’ve personally handpicked for you. I don’t know much about your likes, so I picked them randomly. Please do accept them.”

“But…” Although the Xiao family was more prestigious than the Yue family, it was not appropriate to receive things like this.

Seeing the rejection in Yue Yeager’s eyes, Xiao Hua’s heart pounded fast… He blinked at him with his pitiful, doe eyes. “Please accept it, Uncle Yue! You are like a father figure to me, so it’s my responsibility to present you with some gifts of my respect.”

Like a wounded puppy, he had a pitiful look on his face that was undoubtedly a blow to that others’ heart. Inevitably, the servant in the Yue family went soft-hearted. ‘He must miss his father.’

Xiao Hua’s knight, Dong Yi, was surrounded in a cloud of darkness as he gave a forced smile: ‘I can’t stand this scheming prince.’

‘I can hear your thoughts.’ Xiao Hua’s second personality, the Wicked Prince, smirked as he swept his gaze across Dong Yi’s eyes.

Recalling that the latter one lost his both parents at a young age, Yue Yeager was suddenly filled with a sense of responsibility as an elder. He patted Xiao Hua’s hand and accepted the box. “Such a good child.”

Yue Xiang kept his silence as he rolled his eyes. ‘He is playing the sympathy card!! This man is a sadist!’

Full of anticipation, he unwrapped the present and opened the gift, only to find himself staring at the pair of jade golden lion heads that were worth around forty million yuan! He didn’t expect that Xiao Hua would give him such an expensive gift!

“This…How can I accept such a priceless gift?” He felt a little guilty about accepting such an expensive gift from the younger generation.

“Uncle, you’re the one who is worth it. I heard from my grandpa about your achievements where you were young. The saying goes that a new leader will make drastic changes upon taking charge, and Uncle Yue made a new evolution in the City by taking over Yue Crop! I’d really like to learn from you. I heard that your son’s recent achievements were all due to your training.”

“Haha! You are extravagant.” A glint of surprise flashed across Yue Yeager’s slanted eyes, and his imposing aura dissipated and became more gentle.

‘Please let this be a hallucination.’ Yue Xiang’s mouth twitched as he listened to Xiao Hua’s words and he looked at Yue Yeager’s speechless expression. ‘When will you grow up?’

“Master, the tea is ready!” Housekeeper Huang said as he carried some tea into the living room. Uncle Wang rushed forward to help him out.

“Why didn’t Elder Xiao come as well?” Yue Yeager asked Xiao Hua while sipping his tea.

“He’s busy with other preparations, so he wasn’t able to come today,” Xiao Hua answered while holding the teacup.

“Ok!” Yue Yeager nodded happily. He wasn’t too fond of Elder Xiao, but he had a good impression of Xiao Hua. “I saw your recent achievement in the Xiao Crop. That’s impressive. Are you getting used to life here, Hua?”

Chibi Xiao Hua made a fist bump hearing that: ‘Yes! I did it.’

“I’m doing very well, thanks for asking, Uncle.”

“After being away for so many years, many things of burden have fallen onto you. I feel extremely bad about that… I knew that you were here to ask me about it. I hope things can go forward naturally.”

“That….” Xiao Hua didn’t expect that his father-in-law would hit the nail on the head.

Yue Yeager sighed, taking a pause before continuing, “I’m happy with the proposal Elder Xiao brought forth, but at the same time, I am worried when I think about her future. As her father, I owe her too much, and that’s why I wanted to make everything perfect. Little Wan has been spoiled rotten by me all this time. I can’t bear to let her suffer any pain or sadness.”

Xiao Hua placed his cup down and knelt before Yue Yeager: “You are a wonderful father, and I know that Wan is such a kind and caring person today because of that. When I saw her for the first time, the cold world of mine turned warm. Seeing her getting hurt, the frozen heart inside me started to beat. Uncle Yue, your daughter means the world to me and I hope to spend the rest of my life proving that to her.”

They both looked at each other and had a man-to-man talk telepathically. Xiao Hua put down his final words: “Please entrust your daughter to me for the rest of your life. I will take care of her and put her before anything else in this world.”

After a period of time, the silence lifted and Yue Yeager patted Xiao Hua’s shoulder. To be frank, he wanted to say, ‘No!’ and kick the man before him out of the villa. However, his eyes were not lying and he was the truth in his heart.

Moreover, it not that they would marry the next day. His daughter had yet to give her consent for marrying this man.

“Since you are planning to be with her, you must be with her forever. Don’t you ever let her down! Her heart is fragile and easily broken by lies and backstabbing! You’d better not let me find out that you wronged her in any way or I will make your whole Xiao family crumble to ashes,” Yue Yeager’s eyes shone with a threat as he said that.

Xiao Hua looked at Yue Yeager quietly for some time before nodding his head. “I promise that I won’t lift a finger against her. I swear it on my life.”

Yue Yeager had a half satisfied smile as his daughter found a new life. ‘I should find a villa near to Xiao manner..hmm.’

Yue Xiang and Dong Yi mind voiced: ‘It’s almost amazing how easily you tell lies, you big pervert. You were pouncing on her whenever you had the gap!!’

Xiao Hua’s brows twitched slightly at their overflowing negative thought.

‘Do you want me to shut you guys up?’

“Daddy!” Yue Wan’s voice came behind them. Her voice was a bit hoarse. implies that she heard everything.

Yue Yeager stood up and looked back only to be hugged by his precious daughter.

Understanding that Yue Wan was feeling emotional, Yue Yeager gently ċȧrėssed her head and said: “There are guests here, you’re still acting like a kid.”

Shaking her head, Yue Wan said:  “I’ll always be your little Wan.”

Patting her head, “If he bullies you, tell me,” Yue Yeager said.

Yue Wan shook her head with her lips curved up. ‘You are the best daddy in this world.’

Yue Xiang moved next to Xiao Hua and hugged his shoulder: “You better watch your tail hereafter. If my sister gets hurt, you need to answer two men of the Yue family…’ he paused and said: “Three men, don’t forget the big fatty.”
