22 My Wild Cub

Yue Yeager was waiting outside of the house for his children. Uncle Wang persuaded him to have his dinner but he declined it.

It was quarter past 11 but still no news from Yue Xiang.

Another quarter of an hour later, there was the sound of a car entering the compound of the villa. Yue Xiang stopped the car before Yue Yeager. He unbuckled his seat belt, got off and he opened the back door for his sister. Yue Yeager hurried ahead to look at his daughter.

Yue Xiang let him do as he pleased. He softly said, "She just sleeping." He knew how stressed his dad was. "Dad, let me carry her to her room."

Yue Yeager gazed at his princess who was sleeping like a baby. On hearing his son's words, he gestured his head and gave him some space.

Yue Xiang carried her inside and laid her in the room. Her pet tailed him quietly.

Yue Yeager was astounded seeing a feline pet alongside Little Wan.

"Xiang, that is –"

Yue Xiang interrupted his next word, "How about we head outside?"

They left the room while the little one hopped on Yue Wan's bed.

Yue Yeager began to question his son about Little Wan's encounter. He was terrified on learning of her accident and kidnapping.

"Who is that Fan?

Yue Xiang had a glass of water before answering his dad. "Don't have an idea, but I have already activated my force to look through. We will get the details soon."

Concerned, Yue Yeager enquired about Little Wan's health. He wondered whether the kidnapping was related to that drug but Yue Xiang neither acknowledged nor denied it.

They called it a day and went to sleep.

--- In a dark alley ---

Bang! Bang!

A man held his bleeding chest in pain. Terrified, he choked out, "How?"

A woman stood before him with a mocking smile. "Tell me who your enemy is, and I will tell you who you are."

The man was stunned.

"I abhor deceivers," the woman tut-tutted. She chuckled after a pause and stated, "However, I cherish this game a lot."

Bang! Bang!

--- The next day ---

Yue Wan felt something snuggling beside her and heard her door being open. A maid came inside. "Little Miss, you should wake up. It's noon." The maid opened the curtains to let the light in.

Yue Wan moaned and ducked her head in the blanket to avoid the sun. The maid felt helpless so she attempted to evacuate the bed sheet, "Little Miss, please don't starve your poor stomach. If you didn't wake up, I'll have to ask Master to wake you up."

Yue Wan jolted up from her blanket, "No!"

The maid giggled. "Little Miss, your pet was near you the whole time."

Yue Wan lovingly caressed the little fellow on her bed and moved to freshen up.

Yue Wan wore a light yellow gown and came down with the little one in her hand.

Yue Yeager saw his little princess and rushed to hug her but he felt a sudden tug on his collar. Frustrated, he turned, "Yue Xiang, don't interrupt my reunion with Little Wan."

Yue Xiang just stared at him and dragged him back to his seat. "You will crush her."

Yue Yeager lip curled down and his eyes watered, "You stinky brat! I curse you to be a single dog."

Yue Wan's forehead broke into a cold sweat, 'Brother, stop picking on dad.'

She kissed Yue Yeager's cheek and sat beside him. Yue Yeager raised his chin in pride, like a puppy. But it completely escaped Yue Xiang's notice as he was occupied in requesting the kitchen to serve the feast. "No oily food for the week. And no sweet for those two."

After their lunch, Yue Wan shared with Yue Xiang her doubt. "Is there anything between Li and Lu?"

At this, Yue Xiang took a file and set it before her, "Li Rong made a bank account in your name and gave the guardianship to Lu Jia."

Yue Wan studied the file and found the mark at the bottom similar to her signature.

"This may resemble my signature but it's not."

She looked at Yue Xiang and Yue Yeager. "Can you get Li Biyu's signature and crosscheck with this."

Yue Yeager asked in disarray, "Why not Wei Wan?"

Yue Wan lip curled up while she sipped water from her glass. As if reading her mind Yue Xiang said, "She not a fool to do this."

Another question popped up in Yue Yeager's mind, "Little Wan, do you have any enemy named Fan?"

Yue Wan had speculated that yesterday's mishap may be related to Fan Daiyu. "The person who laid the drug accusation in school is named Fan Daiyu. She is one of Wei Wan's lackeys."

Yue Xiang, had his team investigate in WAX and was ready to make a move, "What do you want to do?"

Yue Wan thought for a moment. "I need her, there is a play during family gathering so we ought to be prepared."

Yue Xiang sneered, "I will give my members for your play."

The Little one near Yue Wan growled. 'Don't forget me.'

Last night Yue Yeager was curious about the pet. Edgily he asked, "Little Wan, where did you find this cute little guy?"

Yue Wan massaged her pet, "Big Brother's present for me."

If eyes could kill, Yue Xiang would have been maimed by his father. "Little Wan does love pets," he said, drooling to hug the cat.

Yue Wan recalled that she hadn't named her pet yet. "Daddy, can you suggest a nice name for my pet?" She asked her father in an indulging tone.

Yue Yeager changed his appearance into a genius with spectacles and various books in his hand. "Let me profoundly examine an ideal name."

Yue Xiang peeked at his look with amusement, "It's just a name dad. You are exaggerating."

Yue Yeager slammed a book and adjusted his glasses. "After knocking my brain a lot, I found a perfect name."

Taking a deep breath, he smiled broadly "Little Bao."

Yue Xiang dropped his glass and Yue Wan blinked her round eyes twice. 'Wish I could knock my head against a pillar.'

Yue Yeager picked Little Bao and raised him high. "He has the same eye as your mother, Little Wan. So he will be Little Bao, my Bao ancestor."

Little Bao thought, 'Mummy, I have a bad feeling about this.'

Yue Xiang made a note in his heart to never allow his father to name his children. 'They would hate me for eternity.'

.Just then Uncle Wang brought a bunch of red roses, "Young Miss, this came for you."

Yue Xiang raised his eyebrow. Yue Yeager, who was flying around with Little Bao stopped his act, "Who sends the bouquet?"

Yue Wan held the bouquet and read, "It says, 'To my wild club'," then smelt the flowers, "It smells nice."

Yue Xiang had a premonition about the sender. 'I hope it's not him.'
