Chapter 228 - Get Ready, Your Knight Will Escort You (2/2)

The ground was also covered with fresh grass and rose petals which were gorgeous and elegant. With the thin line of snow embracing those petals on the ground, it looked extremely beautiful and eye-catching.

It was quite quiet. Only the sound of her footsteps could be heard. Yue Wan was so nervous that she felt like she was about to explode, they finally stopped walking.

Little Bao made meowing and stood in the corner with a straight pose, telling her to enter a path of hanging string lights that had added a touch of enchantment to the night.

Dim light gave off a romantic feel in the air. Taking a deep, Yue Wan entered slowly stepped on the rose petals that were strewn all over the pathway. Amidst the rose petals were heart-shaped candles at the corner.

....

At the end of the pathway, she could see a little tent set up to protect them from snow and inside was the table beautifully covered with a nice tablecloth, scatter with rose petals and a crystal bowl half-filled with water in which beautiful floating candles are lighted place at the center. Grilled steak added sizzle to the night. Paired with red wine bottle along with the empty wine glasses and plates. Standing next to it was Xiao Hua with a profound smile on his lips.

...

Dressing in a well-tailored, handmade black suit, Xiao Hua's ink-black short hair reflected light off the candlelight. His complexion was snow-white, with a face that was overwhelmingly exquisite. His picturesque eyes shone like glass, so dark that they seemed to be able to drown her in madness.

Being stared at so intently by Xiao Hua, Yue Wan felt as though an unusual gush of electricity had flowed through her body under his extremely dark pupils.

Xiao Hua had already sauntered over slowly towards her. The air started filling up with a professedly tranquil and beautiful ambiance. His cold and elegant aura turned hot, as though something was swirling within him.

Her beautiful and slightly blushing face was stunned for a moment as pure admiration flashed in her clear eyes.

This man was rather charismatic.

Pink bubbles seemed to pop out incessantly from her heart as his steps came close.

Fidgeting with the hem of her skirt, Yue Wan gaped at him in awe.

Looking at her adoring gaze, Xiao Hua laughed heartily and whispered in her ear, ”Are you so infatuated by my looks that you forgot to close your mouth, my queen?” That low voice of his was like a cello; it was distant, extremely charming, and very soothing to the ears.

A blush crept over her face and neck. Yue Wan lifted her head with red cheeks and pouted in exasperation: ”I am not!”

Xiao Hua merely smiled and did not say anything as he guided her to the table and pulled out the chair before her like a gentleman and invited her to take a seat.

--At the same time with Elder Xiao---

Soon after the first headline 'The heir is back' was published, a second one spread through the entirety of City A. The shock was as though a landmine had exploded. A picture decorated the cover pages of newspapers and the internet—it was the Xiao family old picture.

As the news circulated rapidly, Elder Xiao was casually sitting in the hall having hot tea, served by Yue Yeager.

”Master Xiao, what is the reason for this late-night visit?”

Yue Yeager was planning to go to the base straight from the office to check his daughter today. However, right when he was exiting the office, he received a call from Uncle Wang about Master Xiao's unexpected visit to the Yue Villa.

Taking a sip of the tea to clear his throat, Elder Xiao replied: ”I'm here for a personal reason Yeager,” his tone revealed sensitivity.

Yue Yeager's brows stiffened a little as he was called so fondly.  'Personal!' Is it something do with the Xiao Heir?

But why here? Shouldn't he go to the Su family?

The image where the Xiao family and the servants buttering up his daughter Yue Wan flashed on his mind.

No No.. That's unrealistic!
