The Girl Who Reincarnated as a Vampire Heiress-Chapter 179
Chapter 179
The banquet hall was brightly lit. Xavier lowered his gaze and looked at Chloe for a while before finally relenting and taking a seat.
Chloe smiled and served him some dishes.
There was a large variety of food on the table. After looking it over, Chloe picked out a few dishes that Xavier preferred and pushed them in front of him.
Xavier didn't say anything, but when Chloe pushed another dish towards him, he said in a low voice, "Eat your own food, don't worry about me."
So Chloe obliged and turned around, quickly starting to eat her own meal.
The surrounding conversations were loud, mostly revolving around Xavier.
Their expressions were very surprised.
It seemed the news of Xavier's attendance had not been leaked, which was why they were so excited now.
However, Xavier didn't seem too keen, only responding occasionally, and mostly just eating seriously.
Like the little Chloe beside him, the big and small were eating extremely seriously.
Gradually, the others sensed the situation and no longer said much, so as not to disturb the great Ancestor.
Especially the teachers from Sasley Military Academy, each of them with tense expressions, looking extremely nervous.
No wonder, as previously Xavier had personally gone to the Elf Race to reprimand them over the Fuen incident.
In the past, relations between the Vampires and Elf Race had always been decent, after all, Vampires appreciated beautiful people and things, and treated the Elf Race with respect.
But Xavier had to stand up for his daughter, no matter what.
In front of outsiders, his image had become the ultimate daddy's girl.
But in Chloe's heart, her feelings towards her father were still quite complicated.
He was indeed very caring and indulgent, even to the point of spoiling her.
Whatever she wanted, he gave her, never lacking in material things.
But she couldn't stand how Xavier liked to court death.
No, it should be said that he liked to force Chloe to court death.
The terror of being forced into extreme sports from the age of five or six was still vivid in her memory.
Although Chloe was no ordinary child, after experiencing it once, she could perfectly master overcoming her fear.
But Xavier had a new trick every day, who knew what strange idea he would come up with next?
Most importantly, after each of those life-threatening thrill rides ended, when Xavier appeared before her, he was always proper, with neat clothes and not a hair out of place.
In contrast, Chloe looked like a little exploded snowman.
The contrast was stark, how could she not be furious?
Thinking of this, Chloe, who had been obediently eating, suddenly became enraged and fiercely kicked Xavier under the table.
Xavier, who had been talking to a Human Race military officer across from him, paused, turning to look at her with a confused expression, as if not understanding why Chloe was suddenly going crazy again.
Chloe averted her gaze, pretending not to see him at all.
Xavier: "......"
Were all little girls this capricious?
The noble Ancestor had no proper awareness of how much he vexed her.
Pitiful and lamentable.
He pondered for a while, then took away the seafood from Chloe's plate, advising, "It's cooling, eat less of it."
Chloe: "......"
She clenched her fists tightly.
"Then why can you eat it?" Chloe questioned.
Xavier glanced at her, stating as if it were obvious, "Because I'm an adult."
"......"
Chloe lowered her voice and made a harsh threat, "I really want to kill you."
Hearing this, Xavier let out a light laugh and gently patted her head, "Then I look forward to it, don't disappoint me."
Chloe: He dared to touch her after just washing his hands!
She turned around angrily and started eating other things.
Until the end of the meal, Chloe didn't speak to Xavier again.
No matter how much the people at the table praised them, Chloe showed no intention of giving them a good face.
......
The servers came in, moved swiftly to clear the table, and then placed fruits, desserts, and fine wines in front of everyone.
Chloe hopped off the table, about to leave, but as soon as she jumped up, Xavier stopped her by grabbing her around the waist.
His arms encircled Chloe's waist, and with one motion, he scooped her up into his embrace.
It was the same way he used to hold her as a child. Xavier was tall, so picking up a thirteen-year-old girl was easy.
Because of the speed, Chloe blinked, completely failing to react.
It wasn't until her other little friends called her name that Chloe came back to her senses in a daze.
She lowered her gaze to see Qin Huaibei and the others far away, Anderson still holding a few of Chloe's favorite little desserts in his hand.
Chloe turned her head and met Xavier's dark red eyes.
Chloe: "Do you think just because you have a pair of red eyes, you can scare people at will?"
Xavier: "......"
He kindly reminded her, "You also have red eyes."
Chloe pretended she didn't hear him and changed the subject, "Put me down, I want to go out and play."
"No." Xavier lightly rejected Chloe's suggestion, "You're my daughter, you have to go meet people with me."
Chloe babbled nonsensically, "I can't be seen by people."
Xavier stared at her for a while, revealing a slight smile, "You mean you're not good at being seen, but it doesn't matter, with me here, no one dares to mock you."
"......"
Chloe said angrily, "You're the one who can't be seen by people!"
Their bickering voices were not deliberately lowered, and those close by could hear them.
Not only the school alumni guests, but also the photographers who had been invited to livestream the whole event.
Suppressed laughter arose from the surrounding area. Chloe, held in Xavier's embrace, glared fiercely at the circle of guests outside, "What are you laughing at?"
The crowd coughed a few times and turned their bodies slightly to hide their amusement.
The photographer mingled among the crowd, shouldering a camera and filming Xavier and Chloe.
As he filmed, he watched the livestream chat, fully agreeing with the viewers' comments.
Indeed, no one could have imagined the interaction between the Vampire Ancestor and his daughter would be like this.
Whether to say it or not, the Ancestor's mouth was truly uncouth, no wonder the child didn't like him.
On this side, Chloe had a sullen expression as Xavier held her and greeted the other guests.
Originally, Chloe wasn't too pleased, but being held by Xavier to meet people gave her an extremely high vantage point, oddly making her feel like she was looking down on everyone.
It was quite exhilarating.
She reached out her hand to shake with a bushy-haired military commander across from her.
The other party's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, with a sincere smile on his face.
Xavier introduced, "This is Benson, the commander of the Second Military Region of the Vampire race."
Chloe: "Hello, uncle."
Benson's smile at the corners of his lips widened slightly, and he nodded slightly in greeting.
In addition to these Vampire generals, Xavier also took Chloe around for several rounds, meeting the generals of every race.
Chloe realized that Xavier was building her up.
The general meaning was—
This is my only daughter, the legitimate heir of the Vampire race. She is now being held in my arms, and if any of you short-sighted ones offend her, don't blame me for not showing mercy.
Chloe thought this was nice, tightly embracing Xavier's shoulders, feeling that sometimes, Xavier could still be quite good.
Until one time when Xavier turned his head, his gaze falling somewhere, and he slightly frowned:
"Why haven't your fangs grown out yet? Can't they grow out?"
Chloe: "......"
She took a deep breath:
"Whose fault is it?"
