Chapter 144 - Heart Had A Tingling Sensation

It was easy to change one's circumstances, but it was difficult to change one's like and dislike.

Yue Xiang looked at Ye Xian coldly. "What have you done to make her despise you so much? Tell me the truth."

Ye Xian shook his head as his face twitched: "…. I would also like to know what happened! Why despise me this much? I am far cuter and more lovable than that damned brat!"

Yue Xiang raised his eyebrows as he listened to his friend. "From which eye do you see that fatty as cute? He is merely a black potato!

Ye Xian: "?"

Yue Xiang: "Maybe a black pumpkin!"

Ye Xian sulked in the corner.

.....

Little Boa sneezed from his hiding spot: 'Huh!'

....

Back to the car.

Both men went silent for a moment…

.....

Through the honor of being one of the most prominent generals of the Yue Military, Yue Xiang was surely capable of destroying the city by summoning the storms of power. However, if you were to compare him to his sister, he was no more than a mere ant.

He still remembered how anxious he was to meet her after his 6-month training session ended, it was still fresh in his mind.

--------16 years age------

A 7-year-old boy, with his silver hair, rushed into his home with a panicked expression on his face.

His father, Yue Yeager welcomed him with a cute baby doll in his embrace.

"Xiang, welcome home! You must be tired, huh?"

Yue Xiang didn't reply, instead, he studied his little sister's reaction. Did she remember him?

"Wow, my son had already grown so much taller. Alright, let me hug you." Yue Yeager was excited to meet him after 6 months of hard training, but he was interrupted by a cute voice.

"Gēgē....ēgēe."

Little Wan, who was in Yue Yeager arms, excitedly reached for Yue Xinag as soon as she saw him. She even stretched out her little hands to hug him almost launching herself away from her father.

"It looks like WanWan is excited to see her older brother," General Yue, who came up from behind Yue Yeager, made the remark with warm wrinkled eyes.

When Yue Xiang took Little Wan into his arms she clung tightly to his neck with her short arms. He supported her with his hands, one behind her head and the other over the top of her knees and held his small, soft little sister firmly.

She had the sweet smell of a baby, mixed with the smell of milk. Her golden amber eyes gazed at him full of innocence causing his heart to grow warm upon seeing her.

He was thrilled that his sister hadn't forgotten him even though he hadn't seen her in a couple of months. Soon she fell asleep in Yue Xiang's arms, her small arms grasping him tightly, even in sleep, as if she was scared he would leave her again.

Finally, he was home.

------End-----

"Back then, after my mother's death, only emptiness and hopelessness engulfed us and took over our lives. Every memory of her played like a song in our head, repeating itself for what seemed like forever. I was lost mostly because I had lost a big part of me. I couldn't get that part back and I wanted it so bad as if my life depended on it, but it was all gone, vanished in thin air."

Yue Xiang murmured, hints of pain and bewilderment rose in his eyes. 

The car reached the Yue family villa and Yue Xiang looked out the window and at the entrance of the house where his most precious world was waiting for his return.  

Before leaving the car he said in a deep, slow magnetic voice: "Little Wan is undoubtedly a match for the Xiao family, whether it is her looks, character, or intelligence. But... What about you? I am afraid that she will get hurt by your selfishness."

When he heard this, something in Ye Xian's eyes shifted and his dark purple eyes turned enigmatic. It was impossible to tell whether he was feeling happy or angry.

He ordered the driver to go back to his villa, but his gaze never left the laughing image of Yue Wan welcoming her brother home. His heart plugged with a selfish desire to have her welcome the real him like this one day. 

-----Midnight at the Yue manor-----

Propping her chin with one hand and tilting a glass of wine in the other, Yue Wan enjoyed the night breeze.

Even though this wine was intoxicating, she was still somewhat awake now.

She was indeed very happy today, everything went according to plan. The first thing she wanted to accomplish was to eradicate the Wei family by using the hand of the Xiao family, the second was to create chaos between the Li and Yue families out in the open before the other families.

Even though changing the timeline might create an alternate future, she still took the risk in order to save her family. Even if she wanted revenge, she needed to first protect her loved ones. Now there won't be any enmity between the Xiao family and the Yue.

From her opened window, she could see snowflakes falling from the sky. With the moonlight shining with the swaying snowflakes, it was as if she was in a snowglobe.

Thinking to catch a snowflake on her fingers, she stood up, wobbling, and walked towards the windows. However, she knocked into the table before she could reach them. The glass in her hand smashed to the floor and she almost fell over.

In the darkness, a pair of powerful arms supported her and a familiar voice sounded by her ear with a faint sense of concern: "Wan! Are you alright?"

Yue Wan took the opportunity to hold his waist so that she could stabilise herself and with a wobbling gaze, looked at the person in her room.

What she did not know was that her action made the latter's body stiffen.

Under the dim light, she was able to see the other's facial features clearly. White shirt, Grey check print winter coat, sexy lips with white teeth, and a pair of dark purple eyes with such a graceful bearing.

Yuw Wan's clear eyes were suddenly in chaos seeing those purple eyes. She was surprised for a moment before saying, "Xiao Hua."

Just as she said that her heart felt heavy and she accidentally leaned against him like was a lamppost and was almost embracing him.

Xiao Hua's heart had a tingling sensation, his face widens in surprise not before turning into a frown: "Drunk!!"

Tilting her head like a little chick, Yue Wan corrected him in tipsy words: "Red.... Red Wine! Hehehe! "

'Hiccup!'  'Hiccup!' 

She hiccupped a little and stood wobbly against Xiao Hua's body. 

With his hand covering his nose, Xiao Hua exclaimed: "How much did you drink? You stink like a drunkard."

"I'm not drunk! You are the one is drunk! Your whole family is drunk! You're a dirty drunkard!"

Yue Wan immediately lamented as she angrily glared at him. Her small beautiful face was overflowing with anger, looking like an angry kitten.
