Chapter 242 - Getting His Father-in-laws Approval(2) (1/2)

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.'
