Reborn: The Lion To Hunt The Wolf

Chapter 3 - Daddy's Princess

---------Yue Xiang's room----------

"What happened?" he asked, looking at the file in his hand.

"Young Master, someone spiked our Miss' drink," the head servant of Yue household said, anxiety could be heard clearly in his voice.

'Crash!!' an unexpected sound of something breaking was suddenly heard, echoing throughout the room.

A large table was suddenly thrown across the room through sheer frustration by the Yue Xiang. There was a dangerous glint in his eyes that promised retribution. In a dry voice, he demanded, "Who was with her when she blacked out?"

"It was Miss Wei Wan that was near our Young Miss at the time," The head servant knew how much his Young Master hated that family. Because of the Wei's daughter, the Yue family was in a constant battle with the Young Miss going against her father and brother over almost everything. If only the Young Miss could discover Wei Wan's deceptive heart, maybe she wouldn't be used as easily against her family.

"Don't tell Dad anything. I will personally inform him about this issue. Also, Keep an eye on the Wei and Li families and let me know if there is any movement there or anything I should be made aware of." Yue Xiang waved his hand to dismiss the servant. Now only silence reigned in his room. Yue Xiang sat back in his chair and massaged his temples. He needed to figure out how to deal with the two families as soon as possible. There always seemed to be a wolf at the door, and their other opponents were starting to close in. He let out a long sigh and took out his cell to send a message. 'Complete the drug report as soon as possible.' Confirming that the message was delivered, he put the cell back into his pocket and left his room.

----Next Day----

Yue Wan bolted upright, the remains of a nightmare were still fresh in her mind. It was the same dream that she always had, reliving the time that she was being suffocated in that coffin, right before she dies. She gasped for breath, trying to calm down. "It's just a dream, Wan. You're alive. It's ok; you're alive." After pacifying herself, Yue Wan took a long hot shower to clear her thoughts.

'What should I wear today?' After going through her wardrobe, she picked up a white dress. Looking at the dress, she couldn't help but wonder, "Who bought this for me? It looks custom-made and an imported one! I will wear this today."

Yue Wan smiled to herself as she got dressed. Once she checked herself out in the mirror, she went down.

In the dining room, Yue Wan spotted her father, who was sitting down at the table.

"Good morning, Daddy."

Suddenly hearing her voice, Yue Yeager turned towards her and was dumbfounded by what he saw.

"Good morning Little Wan," his voice was loaded with joy and wonder as he looked over his daughter.

Before her rebirth, Yue Wan always acted like an egotistical lady and didn't listen to anyone. There was never a peaceful morning in Yue manor. The major quarrels always seem to surround the topic of who would become the heir to the Yue family.

Yue Wan felt guilty as she saw her father's happy face. 'Father always said that he did everything for my happiness, but I had made things very difficult for him. I don't remember the last time I saw him look this cheerful. All he wanted was for his family to sit together at the table and eat a meal in peace, but I made it difficult for him to have that small dream. Due to all the fights I started, Big Brother wouldn't even join us, and even dad started to skip his meals in order to avoid the conflict that I brought.'

She felt guilty as her memories took over. The fact was the lack of health consciousness and the issues that were constantly brought up by her, where eventually lead to her father's early death. This time though, she won't let it occur: 'I promise dad. I will take care of you.'

"Have you had your breakfast yet, Daddy?" she kissed her father on his cheek as she sat down beside him.

Being kissed all of a sudden made her Father somewhat dazed. He put his hand on his cheek and grinned at her. "Not yet, Little Wan. Daddy needs to go, so I will have to have it later." He affectionately rubbed her head and was prepared to leave for work.

Yue Wan held his hand in a spoiled manner, "Daddy, please eat with me. Little Wan feels lonely," her lips turned into a small pout, and with depressed eyes, she gazed at him.

Seeing his cute daughter making a lovely request, Yue Yeager couldn't say no. "Oh My Princess, of course, Daddy will eat breakfast with you," he embraced her and continued, "Come on, How about we eat your favorite? I have just instructed them to set up your favorite dishes."

'His love for me is still the same as before my rebirth. In the past, the chefs constantly arranged my favorite food. Since I had faith in my phony best friend, I was blinded to what I had. I always believed that since I am the real heir, the chefs did all those things to impress me.' Thinking about her brainless actions in the past, Yue Wan wanted to do nothing more than slap herself for her stupidity.

Yue Wan knelt by her father's side and looked him in his eyes. "Daddy, in the past, I acted like an irresponsible person. Please forgive me; I made a big mistake and hurt everyone. I know that my words cannot justify my actions, but give me this one chance, daddy. I will uphold our family name, and I promise that I will always respect your decisions from now on."

Yue Yeager gazed into his daughter's eyes and saw the assurance. He smiled at her with an open heart. "At long last, you understand what I was trying to do, Little Wan."

Yue Yeager held his precious girl in his embrace and cried in tears of satisfaction. "It's ok, Honey. It was all in the past. Now I am just happy that you finally understand me. My only wish is for our family to be always together."

Yue Wan nodded her head while listening to his words.

Yue Yeager looked at her with a complicated expression. "Please don't hate your Brother, he lov--."

"Father," a firm, masculine voice interrupted him in the middle of what he was about to say...
