The Daughter of the Enchanted in the Modern Age

Chapter 13

The television drama was still playing, and Xia Wanyuan was watching it with a serious face. Although the plot is awkward, he wants to learn how modern people act.

By the time the episode ended, Xia Yu finally finished eating. He saw a clean bowl and plate.

Jun Yin blinked. "Uncle, you can really eat."

"Ahem," Xia Yu touched the tip of her nose in embarrassment. It was the first food he ate after fighting with someone. How could he not be hungry?

After Xia Yu finished eating, Xia Wanyuan waved at Xiao Bao.

"Let's go back, Xiao Bao."

"Rest well. Send me a message on WeChat if you want something."

"okay." There is no free lunch in the world. Xia Yu rarely obeyed.

"Uncle, rest well. We'll visit you another day."

Xiao Bao felt very close to this young uncle who was similar to Xia Wanyuan. His fat little hand wanted to imitate Xia Wanyuan's movement patting her head to comfort Xia Yu.

However, she was not tall enough and could not reach Xia Yu's head no matter how hard she tried. Having never interacted with such a child before, Xia Yu had no idea what she was doing.

Knowing what the little boy wanted to do, Xia Wanyuan walked over and picked up Xiao Bao. Xiao Bao then reached out and patted Xia Yu's pink hair.

"May's get well soon, Uncle."

Xia Yu had been brought back to the Xia family ever since she was young and her status was in an awkward state. Lady Xia and Xia Wanyuan did not like it. It was good enough that her father remembered that she had a son. No one ever approached him like this.

Sensing Xia Wanyuan's smiling gaze, Xia Yu lowered her head in embarrassment. His pink hair could not hide the redness that gradually stained his ears.

Xia Yu watched as Xia Wanyuan and Xiao Bao left. Although he could not bear to part with them, he tried to appear in front.

"Hmph, I wonder what this woman is doing again."

After Xia Wanyuan came home, she took a comfortable shower and dried her hair. Right after he finished his skincare routine and sat down on the sofa, Xiao Bao held onto his phone and ran towards him with his short legs.

"Mom, this is for you." Xiao Bao handed the phone to Xia Wanyuan, then obediently hugged her arm and sat down beside her.

The next day is the weekend. It was time to bring Jun Yin back to the old residence to visit Old Master Jun. Fearing that Jun Yin was unwilling to cooperate because of Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling called Jun Yin after work.

Who would have thought that Jun Yin wanted Xia Wanyuan to go with him?

Xia Wanyuan was afraid of Old Master Jun. It would be strange if he agreed to leave. Jun Shiling found an excuse, but Xiao Bao insisted that Xia Wanyuan come with him.

Before Jun Shiling's expression darkened, the person on the phone screen switched.

Jun Shiling looked at the screen and gasped unconscious.

Xia Wanyuan, who had just finished bathing and taking care of her skin, had a beautiful skin that was smooth and supple. Her entire body was bright pink and without makeup, her rosy lips looked even more alluring.

The house was warm, so Xia Wanyuan wore a silk dress. Her long black hair made her collarbone look like jade, so beautiful it was dazzling.

Xia Wanyuan saw many modern women wearing sleeveless dresses like this on the outside, so she slowly accepted it. Therefore, at this moment, he did not feel anything unusual as an ancient person from a thousand years ago.

On the other hand, Jun Shiling, who had always been calm and composed, suddenly felt uneasy.

"What's the problem?" His red lips opened slightly.

The person in the video call looked tired.

"I will bring Jun Yin back to the old residence tomorrow. He wants you to accompany him."

Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, Jun Shiling's deep voice sounded with a slight hoarse voice.

"To visit Grandpa?" Xia Wanyuan remembered that Old Master Jun was an excited and attractive old man.

His grandfather was still there when he was a child. In his memory, his grandfather would always hug him and gently poke his face with his beard, and the old man would laugh loudly whenever he cried.

Then, as the Imperial City collapsed, the old man, who was nearing the end of his lifetime, ignored everyone's objections and rode his horse. Together with his children, he was killed in the battle for the Xia Dynasty.

Xia Wanyuan suddenly fell silent. Although he did not speak, Jun Shiling could feel the sadness around him.

When Jun Shiling wanted to say something, Xiao Bao shook Xia Wanyuan's arm.

"Mom, come with me?"

"okay." Xia Wanyuan freed herself from her grief and patted Jun Yin on the head. He turned to look at the phone.

"I can accompany him. What time do we leave tomorrow?"

"Nine hours."

"Good."

After Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, she handed the phone to Xiao Bao and went to pick up some cherries in the fridge. She recently fell in love with those sweet fruits.

Moments later, a slender waist flashed across the screen, and then a smaller version of itself appeared on the same screen.

"Dad, do you have anything else to say?" Jun Yin was clearly talking to him, but his eyes continued to stare in the other direction. Jun Shiling knew that he was looking at Xia Wanyuan.

There was a magical impulse in his heart. He also wanted to see Xia Wanyuan. But Jun Shiling would never say that out loud.

"What did you learn in school today?"

"I learned poetry."

"Random for me."

"A bright month before bed ..."

"What are you eating?"

In addition to work-related issues, Jun Shiling would usually complete the call within a minute. It was a bit unusual that day.

"Dad, do you miss us?" Xiao Bao asked when he heard his father ask so many questions.

Jun Yin remembered that Xia Wanyuan had told him that Jun Shiling really cared for him, but he did not know how to reveal it.

"..." - ".Jun Shiling's expression darkened. Missed them? This was the first time he had heard such a cheesy word.

"Dad, you'll see us tomorrow. Mom and I miss you too."

Xiao Bao finally set his gaze on Jun Shiling, blinking his large eyes.

"Sleep early. I'll pick you up in the morning."

After hanging up the phone, Jun Shiling's mind was still filled with a shocking void.

"Did he miss me?"

Poor Xiao Bao had been ignored by his father.

Hmph. As expected, he was still the same. He wanted to use the child to win her heart.

Jun Shiling pursed his lips as if he was disgusted. However, there was no disgust in his eyes. Instead, there was a hint of anticipation that he was unaware of.

***

In the ward, Xia Yu, whose arms were in so much pain that she could not sleep, groaned on the bed for a long time. In the end, he still could not sleep.

Therefore, he got up and grabbed his phone, opened Weibo, and subconsciously searched for Xia Wanyuan's name.

News feed is all about the topic 'Xia Wanyuan has been reduced to eating boiled chicken after going broke'.

Xia Yu's eyes widened. 'Is this woman being that poor?'

When he opened the comments, they all ridiculed and harassed Xia Wanyuan.

[This woman is very ugly.]

[Serve him properly. What did the boiled chicken do to deserve to be eaten? The chicken was very sad.]

"Pfft, this woman is doing very badly. Her acting is so bad and she's so ugly."

Xia Yu muttered to herself, but her uninjured left hand awkwardly typed on her phone.

[Go take care of your eyes if you're blind. You are ugly! Your whole family is ugly!]

***

Xia Wanyuan lived a disciplined life, so she woke up around seven o'clock every morning. The clothes he had bought in Tianfu Road earlier had all been sent to his place.

It is not cold in the spring. Because he will meet his elders. Xia Wanyuan wore an apricot short skirt and a light blue knee-length jacket. The waist design of the jacket makes her waist look slim like a willow branch.

The pear-shaped white earrings and the embroidery of apricot flowers in her dress complement each other. As he walked, he gave off a soft and gentle feeling, as well as the vitality of spring.

There is a giant French window facing east of the apartment. There were large pots of various flowers and plants placed in a wide corner in front of him, where a large luxurious carpet was placed in the center.

Xia Wanyuan sat by the window while Xiao Bao was still asleep. He wears his headphones and searches for his favorite music on his phone.

In the Xia Dynasty, he used to listen to live music played by musical instruments and songs sung by musicians. So, two days ago, she was looking for soothing piano music and an ancient sitar song to listen to when she had the time.

But that day, he clicked on the songs that were on the music charts. He wanted to know what kind of songs were popular.

"If not for you breaking my heart..." A soothing music accompanied by a gentle female voice sounded.

A gentle breeze outside the window carried the morning dew, and a shining sun slowly rose from the horizon. The number of cars on city streets is slowly increasing. People began to appear everywhere in the quiet city.

The steam from the breakfast place rose in a spiral shape, mixed with the mist and carried by the people who rushed to work.

"Truly prosperous times." Xia Wanyuan sighed in her heart. He doesn't like living in a faraway suburb. Other than being far away, it was also because he felt that there was a lack of a human atmosphere.

***

"Young Master, it's now half-eight. Why didn't you go up earlier? Little Master and Miss Xia may have woken up."

The driver carefully looked at Jun Shiling, who was looking out the window with a gloomy expression. The young master, who had always calculated the time of each second accurately, miraculously missed the originally scheduled time by half an hour on that day.

After a while, the driver thought that Jun Shiling would not speak anymore and would think about his own matters.

"What floor are they on?"

"Floor 16, Young Master."

By the time he finished speaking, Jun Shiling was already out of the car.

Nanny Li was preparing breakfast on the first floor. Xia Wanyuan had suddenly become very relaxed recently, and she ate whatever she cooked. In addition, she often praised her cooking skills.

After receiving the praise, Nanny Li put in a lot of effort to work even harder, and each dish was delicious and delicious.

The doorbell suddenly rang. Nanny Li looked outside and Jun Shiling's cold face appeared on the screen.

Nanny Li hurriedly opened the door.

"Young master."

"Is Jun Yin awake?"

"Little Master is still sleeping."

When Nanny Li saw that Jun Shiling did not react, she added, "Miss Xia is already awake and is looking at the sunrise by the window on the second floor."

"okay."

Jun Shiling was expressionless. He changed his shoes and walked towards the second floor.

The noise reduction function of the sound hole is excellent. Xia Wanyuan listened to the song and hummed, not hearing any movement downstairs.

Jun Shiling walked to the second floor and saw a woman with apricot skirts and headphones sitting on the carpet. Her beautiful side profile was illuminated by the morning sun behind her.

After staring at him for a while, Jun Shiling returned downwards.

Nanny Li saw that Jun Shiling had returned very quickly, and thought that Xia Wanyuan might have made Jun Shiling angry again. He looked up anxiously.

By the way, that's weird. In the past, Nanny Li hated Xia Wanyuan so much and hoped Jun Shiling would divorce her as soon as possible. But these few days, Nanny Li felt that Xia Wanyuan might not be the person that the rumors were saying.

Jun Shiling sat on the sofa and picked up the financial magazine that was half upside down on the table.

Not long after, footsteps could be heard from the second floor.

"Good morning, Mom!"

After brushing his teeth and washing his face, the first thing Xiao Bao did was to look for Xia Wanyuan.

"Good morning, let's go and have breakfast."

Taking off her headphones, Xia Wanyuan grabbed Xiao Bao's hand as they descended. He did not expect to see Jun Shiling sitting on the sofa.

Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow. Ignoring the others, Jun Shiling was truly handsome.

Jun Shiling heard the commotion and looked at Xia Wanyuan.

"Dad."

Perhaps because his mother was by his side, Xiao Bao felt that Jun Shiling was not too scary. When he saw Jun Shiling, his large eyes curved into a crescent moon.

"Young Master, Miss Xia, the food is ready."

"I've eaten. Y'all eat. We'll leave at nine." After Jun Shiling finished speaking, he continued to read the magazine. His sculptural profile is expressionless.

Xia Wanyuan pursed her lips and brought Xiao Bao to the dining table to eat. The room was silent for a moment. Just the sound of chewing.

It was exactly nine o'clock after breakfast.

"Let's go."

Jun Shiling, who was silent like a statue on the sofa, finally stood up and walked out. Xia Wanyuan held Xiao Bao's hand and followed behind. They had just gotten into the car when some people rushed over from afar.

"Where is Young Master Jun?"

"They're gone."

"..." - ".The building belonged to the Jun family. Since Jun Shiling had always been self-effacing and rarely appeared in public, it wasn't easy for these little managers to hear that their big boss was here. They wanted to approach him, but all they saw was the exhaust fumes of the car.

At about ten, the car finally stopped in a quiet alley.

Xia Wanyuan looked outside curiously. The place where the former head of the Jun family lived was different from the one he had imagined.

But the intricately carved roof and painting art that could be seen everywhere, somewhat similar to the former Imperial Palace of the Great Xia, gave Xia Wanyuan a sense of familiarity.

"Don't make Grandpa angry. If I find out that you have bad intentions, you will bear the consequences yourself."

Although Xia Wanyuan had changed a lot in the past two days, Jun Shiling still warned her out of concern over her past behavior.

Xia Wanyuan gave "Mm" carelessly, then carried Xiao Bao out of the car. The alley was surrounded by huge sycamore trees, and sunlight danced on their bodies. Jun Shiling watched quietly from behind the two of them, his gaze dark and gloomy. No one knows what he's thinking.

After a few steps, Xia Wanyuan turned around. Sunlight shone on his face, revealing his long eyelashes.

"Lead."

"Hgm." Jun Shiling snorted lightly and accelerated his steps to Xia Wanyuan's side.

Before long, they arrived at the courtyard with two stone lions at the entrance.

A middle-aged man was waiting at the door. When he saw the three figures, shock flashed in his eyes. However, he quickly advanced with a calm expression.

"Uncle Liu."

"Young Master, Old Master is practicing calligraphy in the courtyard." Uncle Liu bowed slightly towards Jun Shiling.

"okay."

Just as Jun Shiling was about to enter, Xiao Bao quickly slipped through the gap between the doors.

"Great-grandfather, I'm here!" A soft cry shocked the pigeons in the courtyard.

Before Xia Wanyuan's arrival, the one who treated Xiao Bao well was the old master of the Jun family. Therefore, Xiao Bao was close to him.
