The Daughter of the Enchanted in the Modern Age

Chapter 12

Xia Wanyuan did not ask Nanny Li to prepare lunch. Instead, he ordered takeout for himself based on what he saw on the internet. In less than half an hour, all the food and desserts Xia Wanyuan ordered arrived.

"Excellent," Xia Wanyuan exclaimed as she ate. Nanny Li stared speechlessly at Xia Wanyuan's takeaway.

Was it because he, who had received the gold medal chef certificate, was not good at cooking anymore? Why did Miss Xia start adopting the usual style recently?

As a result, Nanny Li began to worry that she would soon lose her job.

After lunch, Xia Wanyuan was about to take a nap when her phone rang. A series of unknown numbers appeared, and Xia Wanyuan hesitated for a moment before picking them up. She was cautious because she had heard about many online harassment calls.

"Hello! Sister Xia, something happened to Xia Yu. I don't know who to call, so I can just call you."

It was very noisy on the other end of the phone. Xia Wanyuan had to ask the other party to repeat himself before he could react.

Only then did he remember that the original owner of this body had a half-brother.

Xia Wanyuan's father's greatest hobby in life was women. Xia Wanyuan was the daughter of his first wife. And her younger brother, Xia Yu, was a secret half-brother born by a mistress on the outside. She was brought back to the Xia family later, so she was never liked by Xia Wanyuan. It would be an understatement to say that they have a bad relationship.

However, when Xia Wanyuan was very young, her biological mother died of illness. Father Xia immediately married his new wife and took her home.

After Xia Wanyuan entered the entertainment industry, she rarely went home. It had been many years since he contacted this half-brother of his.

They have the same father but different mothers. If they were in the Xia Dynasty, they were considered concubines and their children. However, Xia Wanyuan currently had no enmity with her younger brother. Since he was her younger brother, she decided to go and see what was going on.

He arrived at the place the young man mentioned by phone. In a luxurious private room, broken bottles of wine were strewn across the floor.

Seeing Xia Wanyuan appear at the door, the young man who had just called ran towards her with his hand on his forehead.

"Sister Xia, please come and persuade Brother Yu. He was injured but he refused to go to the hospital."

Xia Wanyuan walked around the broken wine bottle, and she saw a boy surrounded by several young people.

He had a head full of pink hair. Her edge was so long that it covered her beautiful eyes when she lowered her head. He looked up when he heard the door open. Thanks to her good looks, pink hair seemed to suit her. When he saw who it was, his eyes shone with hostility.

"What are you doing here? Are you here to mock me?" Xia Yu's eyes were filled with scorn. Because he was too agitated, he pulled his injured arm slightly, causing him to hiss in pain.

Xia Wanyuan looked at Xia Yu, who looked to be around 17 or 18 years old. However, he did not have the strength of a youngster at all. His shirt, which was wide open to his waist, revealed a white patch.

"Are you fighting?" Xia Wanyuan's red lips opened slightly as she looked at Xia Yu's bloody arm. That looks a little serious.

"And you lost. It's a shame" she said with a smile in her eyes.

"It's none of your business!" Xia Yu already felt quite embarrassed by the fact that she lost the fight. Now that Xia Wanyuan had made fun of him, she felt like she was losing face.

"Come, let's go to the hospital to see it." Xia Wanyuan did not want to fight with him. He seems to be in quite a serious condition and needs to be bandaged immediately. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if he lost too much blood.

"What right do you have to control me? I'm not leaving." Xia Yu looked at Xia Wanyuan arrogantly.

"Xiao Li, Xiao Wang, pick him up and take him to the hospital." After Xia Wanyuan finished her sentence, the people Lin Jing sent to help Xia Wanyuan step in. They did not care about Xia Yu's struggle and took her out.

At the hospital, Xia Yu was bedridden with a cast on her arm and a bandage wrapped around her head. The results showed that he may have had a mild concussion, so the doctor suggested that he stay two days for observation.

She was still angry over the way Xia Wanyuan tied her up and sent her to the hospital. Her beautiful face was filled with anger.

After asking the doctor about Xia Yu's condition, Xia Wanyuan went to Xia Yu's ward.

He looked up from the door. After letting go of her playboy disguise, Xia Yu looked like a child in a simple hospital gown.

After hearing the footsteps on the door, Xia Yu looked up impatiently. The frown on his forehead deepened after he saw that it was Xia Wanyuan.

"Can you stop bothering? Who else does things like you? And you even asked for help." Speaking of this, Xia Yu looked a little embarrassed. The fact that he was taken to the hospital by force was too embarrassing for him. It did not give him any face at all and only destroyed his handsome image.

"Are you coming if I ask you? Why can't I get help?"

Xia Wanyuan approached Xia Yu with a seductive smile.

"So, should I be like you and appear brave even though I have been beaten to the point that I have to go to the hospital?"

"I lost the fight just because they had a lot of people." Xia Yu lowered her head unnaturally. His long eyelashes hid the anger in his eyes.

"It's all because of their cheap mouths."

"If they have a lot of people, why don't you find more people as well? You can't win just by being brave and showing off."

Hearing this, Xia Yu suddenly looked up and looked into Xia Wanyuan's smiling eyes. At first he thought he would be ridiculed by Xia Wanyuan, but he did not expect that he would have her bring more people to fight.

"That's none of your business. What's problem? Looks like you didn't have the chance to film anymore because we went broke. Are you so bored that you came here to interfere in my affairs?"

In order to hide the awkwardness in her heart, Xia Yu involuntarily ridiculed Xia Wanyuan like before. But as soon as he finished speaking, he regretted saying those words when he met Xia Wanyuan's smiling eyes.

"I'm not bored, and I have a drama to film. Rest well and stay in the hospital for now."

Xia Wanyuan could feel Xia Yu's awkwardness. Xia Yu was obviously still an immature child, so she did not take heart from his words.

After speaking, Xia Wanyuan turned around and went down to pay the hospital bills. Seeing Xia Wanyuan leave, Xia Yu opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but not in the end.

When dinner time came, there was a commotion from the ward next door.

He glanced at the door and threw his face away.

"Tsk, what's the deal about someone delivering food? It was as if they wanted the whole world to know."

On the table beside him was a lunch package delivered by the nurse. Xia Yu picked it up and used her chopsticks to push the rice in her bowl into her mouth.

"Lunch is pretty good too. Hmph."

Even though she said she didn't care, Xia Yu still felt a little sour in her heart. The corner of his eyes gradually turned red. He stubbornly wiped his eyes with his uninjured left hand.

After a few bites, Xia Yu finally threw away her lunch. "It feels terrible."

The sound of footsteps came from the door. Xia Yu thought it was the family of the patient beside her.

The horrible feeling started to overwhelm him. He covered his head with a blanket and buried himself in it. Closing her eyes tightly under the blanket, Xia Yu tried to hold back her tears.

However, he felt a small force pull on his blanket.

Xia Yu thought it was a nurse and did not want to care about her. However, he did not expect his strength to be so persistent. He was determined to pull the blanket.

What is wrong with the nurse? Fed up with her nonsense, Xia Yu suddenly lifted the blanket and found a small head leaning on the bed, looking at her with big, teary eyes, like wine.

"Uncle, you're not sleeping!"

Xiao Bao called out to him and curiously judged the uncle he had never seen before.

Xia Yu was surprised. Only then did she realize that Xia Wanyuan, who was wearing a pale pink knitted dress, was sitting quietly on the sofa in the ward.

As a member of the Xia family, she was one of the few people who knew that Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were married. However, he had not contacted Xia Wanyuan for a long time. In the past, Jun Shiling would not let Jun Yin just appear. This was the first time Xia Yu had met Jun Yin.

Looking at the cute little boy in front of her, Xia Yu was a little confused and could only answer gently.

"Uncle, your eyes are red. Are you crying?"

Children are usually straightforward. They will say whatever is on their mind.

Xia Yu looked at Xia Wanyuan frantically and felt embarrassed hearing Xiao Bao's question.

"No, I'm not crying. Hospital food is too spicy for me, that's all."

Xia Wanyuan looked at the tomato and egg rice on the table. Of course it is...

Seeing Xia Wanyuan's gaze at the packed lunch, her face slowly turned red.

"What are you doing here?"

Xia Yu raised her neck to look at Xia Wanyuan, as if she wanted to use this posture to look more confident.

However, she did not expect that her delicate hair had become messy after being under the covers. The corner of his eyes reddened from crying just now, and he pretended to be arrogant. To others, she looked pitiful and cute.

"Uncle, I heard you were sick. My mother brought me here to visit you. We also brought you delicious food!"

His new home is in town and only 20 minutes away from Xiao Bao kindergarten. Therefore, Xia Wanyuan went to pick up Xiao Bao himself.

Nanny Li had prepared a very luxurious meal. Xia Wanyuan had no idea that Nanny Li had unilaterally fallen into the terror of unemployment. He only knew that Nanny Li had prepared everything from creatures swimming in the sea to those flying in the sky and not missing those running on the ground.

After eating a lot of food that she had never eaten before, Xia Wanyuan was very satisfied.

Xiao Bao's school ended early that day and they had dinner early. Thinking of Xia Yu who was still in the hospital, Xia Wanyuan had Nanny Li prepare food for her and prepare to have someone to send her.

However, when Xiao Bao heard that he had an uncle, he insisted on seeing him. Xia Wanyuan had no choice but to agree and bring food for herself.

Xia Wanyuan kept the lunch stock and moved the table from the bed. Then, he unpacked the steaming plates he was carrying and placed them on the table one by one.

Juicy shrimp, fragrant pork bone soup, and leafy greens. Steam curled up on various dishes and moistened Xia Yu's eyes.

"Eat. Tell me what you want to eat tomorrow. I'll ask Nanny Li to make it and send it."

After putting a bowl of rice in front of Xia Yu, Xia Wanyuan sat on the sofa and turned on the television in the ward.

Xia Yu, who was originally a little touched, fell silent when she saw "Sweet Sweet Young Master" playing on television.

"Uncle, eat." Xiao Bao could only urge Xia Yu to eat. He's like a little adult.

"It's not good to be cold."

"okay." He took his eyes off the television.

Compared to the monotonous packaged lunch distributed by the hospital, the food in front of him made him want to salivate.
