The Daughter of the Enchanted in the Modern Age

Chapter 145

The morning breeze carried a clear lotus scent on the lake as it blew into the bedroom on the second floor, bringing a hint of clear coolness.

Sunlight shone through the French window and shone on his feet. Feeling the heat, Xia Wanyuan slowly opened her eyes and looked at the familiar face.

It was a familiar sight. Xia Wanyuan looked down. As expected, he hugged Jun Shiling's waist tightly again. They are both very close. He could even clearly feel Jun Shiling's normal reaction in the morning.

Xia Wanyuan's face flushed red. He slowly pulled his hand and stepped back.

This action woke Jun Shiling up.

Jun Shiling seemed to be sleep deprived. His eyes are still red.

"Are you awake?" 

Jun Shiling, who had just woken up, had a low and magnetic voice. It was like an electric current that exploded in Xia Wanyuan's ears, making her heart tingle.

“You... I...” Xia Wanyuan stuttered once. 

Suddenly, he thought of something. He lowered his head and saw that he was wearing pajamas. Didn't I wear a dress last night?!

"Nanny Li helped you change your clothes," Jun Shiling said as he felt Xia Wanyuan's panic.

“Then what about us?”

"You forgot?" A slight smile flashed across Jun Shiling's eyes, but his expression was extremely solemn. 

“You were drunk yesterday. I carried you back, but you held me back and didn't let go. I want to go and sleep with Jun Yin. When I let go, you look so guilty that it's as if you're going to cry.”

There was a clear doubt in Xia Wanyuan's eyes. Did I really do that?

However, Jun Shiling's expression was extremely serious. Furthermore, Jun Shiling had always been the one who held his words in Xia Wanyuan's heart. There was no need for him to lie to her.

Xia Wanyuan's expression turned brighter. 

"I'm sorry, I'm drunk and I don't know."

"It's okay. Can I wake up now?” Xia Wanyuan lowered her head, so she could not see. At that moment, Jun Shiling's eyes were filled with smiles.

"awake. Why are you asking me?"

"I'm afraid you still need a pillow." As Jun Shiling thought, Xia Wanyuan's face turned red.

“Quick go.” 

The cold pine fragrance from Jun Shiling surrounded him, making Xia Wanyuan feel uneasy. Furthermore, he did not need to look up to find out that Jun Shiling must be smiling seductively. Xia Wanyuan was embarrassed.

I won't drink again next time. I had to change the habit of hugging something while I was sleeping.

“Then sleep a little more.” Jun Shiling stopped teasing Xia Wanyuan and lifted the blanket to get up.

Jun Shiling had left, but the aura around him was still there. Taking a gentle breath, the air was filled with the scent of pine. Xia Wanyuan failed to fall asleep.

After taking a bath, Jun Shiling was having breakfast downstairs when Xia Wanyuan went downstairs.

“Why don't you sleep a little more? Do you have a job today?" Jun Shiling thought Xia Wanyuan needed to sleep again.

“I can't sleep.” Jun Shiling's question reminded Xia Wanyuan of the cold pine scent that had just stuck to the bed. Then, he could not help but think of the heat he felt in Jun Shiling's arm in the morning.

At this moment, Xia Wanyuan's face turned red again.

Jun Shiling gave Xia Wanyuan a pair of chopsticks and looked up to see the red hue on his face. Seeing how awkward he was, Jun Shiling's lips curved up.

"Let's eat." Jun Shiling held a smile in his eyes and interacted with Xia Wanyuan very naturally.

"okay."

Xia Wanyuan picked up the chopsticks, but she felt uncomfortable. For some reason, he felt that the pine scent on Jun Shiling was very clear today.

In the past, Xia Wanyuan had rarely paid attention to the perfume Jun Shiling used, but today, she felt that its aroma was extremely rich. Xia Wanyuan could not help but stare at Jun Shiling.

His cold and arrogant temperament remained upright even while eating.

"Am I handsome?" Jun Shiling swallowed a mouthful of hot porridge and suddenly looked at Xia Wanyuan.

"Huh?" 

Xia Wanyuan was stunned for a moment before realizing that she was staring at Jun Shiling.

Xia Wanyuan could not explain why she looked at Jun Shiling in a daze. He could only nod and strengthen himself. 

"Yes." Yeah."

Jun Shiling's eyes were filled with smiles. 

“Not as pretty as you.” When she finished speaking, she seemed to feel that it wasn't enough and added, "You were so beautiful at the ceremony last night."

He's telling the truth. She works at the company and has no time to see her dressed in the manor. Like the people in the comments, the moment Xia Wanyuan appeared, her breathing stopped.

Xia Wanyuan, who was encased in a galaxy, was so beautiful that it made one's heart tremble.

"En, thank you."

Xia Wanyuan was not moved by the countless compliments she received yesterday.

However, hearing these words from Jun Shiling made Xia Wanyuan feel somewhat embarrassed. There was even a hint of excitement hidden in the depths of his heart.

“Then why don't you eat? Aren't you hungry? You were drunk yesterday. Drink warm milk.” Jun Shiling carefully placed the bread pudding on the table in Xia Wanyuan's bowl and handed the milk to her.

For some reason, Xia Wanyuan felt a little confused, but she was in a mess. He did not know where to start, but when he reached out to receive the warm milk from Jun Shiling, he accidentally touched his hand.

Jun Shiling was stunned, so was Xia Wanyuan. He hurriedly pulled his hand.

Then, Jun Shiling placed the food in front of Xia Wanyuan as if nothing had happened. He did not bother Xia Wanyuan anymore and let her eat quietly.

The first meal after a hangover should be eaten properly.

According to Jun Shiling's usual habits, he would go to the company this time, but Jun Shiling wasn't in a hurry to leave today.

Instead, he sat quietly by the side and watched Xia Wanyuan eat.

Even Xia Wanyuan, who was sitting in front of a battlefield filled with corpses, could eat her food without changing her expression. For some reason, he could not eat under Jun Shiling's gaze.

Swallowing the bread pudding with great difficulty, Xia Wanyuan finally could not help but look at Jun Shiling. 

“Why are you looking at me?”

"You are beautiful," Jun Shiling said very seriously, but she couldn't help but smile. 

"Did you just let yourself see me but I couldn't see you?"

Xia Wanyuan was silent for a moment by Jun Shiling's words, but she found it hard to swallow when Jun Shiling looked at her like this.

A moment later, under Jun Shiling's shocked gaze, Xia Wanyuan had the waiter bring the tray of food upstairs to the bedroom.

Seeing Xia Wanyuan's confused back, Jun Shiling's heart softened.

Too sweet, I want to hug her but can't.

Jun Shiling sighed inwardly.
