Chapter 91 - Speak In a Human Language

---with Yue Yeager---

No words were spoken for while Yue Yeager walked over and sat down in the middle of the couch. Yue Wan, Yue Xiang, and Mr. Lin moved to stand before him.

Little Bao, on the other hand, was dozing off on the sofa, using Yue Yeager as a warm pillow.

Pressing his index finger to cheek and propping chin on the rest of his clenched fingers, Yue Yeager was in deep thought.

His eyes were closed, and his eyebrows showed his displeasure at something. His mind and heart were fighting for one question: How could he explain it to his precious daughter?

---with Yue Wan----

Yue Wan was slightly disturbed as her dad had never acted like this before.

She could see that the environment around him was overwhelming, nearly making her unable to breathe.

Was it related to her? She pondered everything that had occurred in the course of recent days. The biggest thing to happen was related to gifts that were mysteriously being delivered in her name. That issue might have triggered some unnecessary problems for her dad.

'I had better visit Xiao tomorrow to clear things up.'

---With Yue Xiang----

Up until now, his Dad hadn't spoken a solitary word, and in Yue Xiang's opinion, that was a good sign.

He knew how his father had lost control the first time when he had mentioned Little Wan's marriage. It almost seemed like a little mythical beast who was breathing fire that showed up on Yue Xiang's fluffy dream cloud.

Yue Xiang lost half of his soul in order to make him accept the engagement proposal.

Now, only one issue remained: How should they break the news to Little Wan?

---------------------

Among everyone, Lin Xu's face remained unchanged. He was fantasizing with his eyes open, it appeared as though he had lost a screw during his fight with Little Bao. Poor Guy!

Yue Yeager cleared his throat to speak after sorting out his consideration. In a rough voice filled with displeasure, he blurted: "Today, I would like to talk to you about two important matters."

With a wrinkled forehead, he continued: "After thinking about this long and hard, I have come to a conclusion. I realize that it isn't reasonable for me to not thinking about your emotions, yet the circumstance is desperate and we are not in a good position right now. Whatever I do, please believe that I am doing this to protect you."

With that disclaimer, he took a deep breath and inquired as to whether his very life relied upon the appropriate response: "Can you believe in me, Little Wan?"

In her last life, every time that he had asked her to believe in him, Yue Wan discarded his affection and acted coldblooded.

This time, she would acknowledge whatever her father proposed with total conviction that it was what best for her. With a crystal clear voice, she answered, "I will support you in your decision, Daddy."

Yue Yeager and Yue Xiang made eye contact and nodded. 'Now is the time to drop the bomb.'

"Little Wan! Daddywantsyoutomarrysomeone." Yue Yeager blurted it out all at once and stared down at his feet, as he was reluctant to see Little Wan's irate face.

'Blink...Blink.' Her eyelashes glimmered twice over her golden pupils. Very slowly she tilted her head in confusion and asked: "What?"

Yue Xiang snarled under his breath, "Speak in a human language, Dad."

Beads of sweat dotted his temples, Yue Yeager gulped down his curse against his son and expressed that with a crispy voice: "Daddy wants. ... you. ... to. ... ma. ... rr. ... y. ... some. ... one."

Incapable to comprehend what her dad was attempting to state, Yue Wan looked at Big Brother for help.

Yue Xiang rubbed his nose and answered her silent question. " In order to not let the Li family find any loopholes in that marriage contract, we suggest you get married this year to a person who can't be touched easily."

Her eyes widened, solidified open as she heard what her brother had said. Looking back and forth between her father and brother, she tried to make sense of what they were intending. Yue Wan's mind went blank upon hearing the word marriage. Her heart stopped for a second. Those were the same words her Big Brother spoke to her after her father's death and he had married her off to that purple-eyed man by force.

"Is there really no other way?" She was terrified to meet that man. Her body unwittingly trembled as she reviewed those days.

Yue Xiang shook his head no. They thought of every solution, but this was the only one that made the most sense.

Yue Wan looked at her Father and saw the pain and upset on his face.

'I shouldn't be egotistical. Daddy's wellbeing will be affected if he worries about this daily.'

Suddenly, her mind flashed with the image of Mr. Ye Xian. She shook her head, trying to get his image out of it. 'You cannot put your personal desires first, Wan. Family is more important than your feelings.'

After burying down her growing feelings, she declared, "I'm ready to marry the person you picked. I'll always believe in you, Daddy."

Yue Yeager's face beamed in surprise. At first, he was prepared to face a huge hassle from Little Wan. But now, he was flabbergasted to hear his little girl's answer.

'She is all grown up,' he contemplated.

With a light heart, Yue Xiang's lips curved up into a warm smile. He smiled to himself, 'She is just like Mom, blindly believing in her loved ones.'

Those words 'blindly believe' struck his heart and pierced it like a thorn.

'S**t, What will happen after she discovers the truth about him!?'

Yue Yeager applauded his hand and headed toward his little girl to embrace her. Thought, he was upset that she would wed soon. He was cheerful because of her blind trust in him.

At the point when Yue Yeager immediately stood up, Little Bao, who was dozing off thanks to the warmth of his grandfather, was caught unaware.

Startled from his dreams, he bounced up, only to realize that the couch was no longer under him.

'Plop...' Landing on the floor in a belly flop, all his paws extended, he quickly rolled over, looking around to see if anyone had seen his less than a perfect feline moment. 'God, please don't let anyone see this moment.'

To his relief, no one was paying him any attention. Secure in his knowledge that no one saw his embarrassing moment, he jumped back on the couch looking for whatever warmth was left from his grampy's seat.

With his eyes half-open, sighing in contentment, he searched for Yue Yeager, 'Gramps... please let me have some more sleep...'
