The Daughter of the Enchanted in the Modern Age

Chapter 15

The next morning, Xia Wanyuan sent a driver to pick up Xia Yu.

Fearing that her pink hair would affect the little boy's innocent view of the world, Xia Yu went to the hair salon to dye her hair before she arrived home. With her soft black hair, Xia Yu looked even younger.

He did not bring much luggage as Xia Wanyuan had already prepared the basic necessities for his daily life. As soon as he arrived, he took Xia Yu around the house.

"Nanny Li had already tidied up the room on the first floor. You can stay in that room."

"Oh." Xia Yu stuck out her head and measured the renovation of the house with her eyes. He then thought of a superior location and could not help but be amazed.

"Hey, this is for you." Xia Yu handed a card to Xia Wanyuan.

"What?" Xia Wanyuan raised her eyebrows in confusion.

"You know, that guy didn't give me much money a month. There's not much left. I'll give it to you every month from now on. "

Xia Yu pursed her lips indifferently.

"Take that as my cost of living. I don't want to eat boiled chicken every meal."

An amused glint crossed Xia Wanyuan's expression. He must have seen the comments online and was worried he was poor, so he gave him a bank card.

He pushed the card in front of his back.

"I'm not that bad."

"Hmph, forget it if you don't want it. You're so stubborn." Xia Yu felt a little embarrassed after being rejected, but she felt that Xia Wanyuan was stubborn for not accepting money.

After all, the Xia family was now broke and had no more money to squander. Speaking of which, even though Xia Wanyuan was married to an important person, based on her understanding of Jun Shiling, if Xia Wanyuan died on the streets, Jun Shiling would not even glance at her.

"Well, let's go and eat first. I'll go south for filming tomorrow. You can stay here."

After lunch, Xiao Bao took a nap. Xia Wanyuan leaned against the balcony and looked at the butterfly orchid by the window.

"Why did you bring me back? Didn't you always treat me like air?"

Now that there was no one around, Xia Yu ended up asking the question she had been hiding in her heart for the past few days.

"I'm your brother." Xia Wanyuan turned around and smiled at Xia Yu.

"In addition, you're a good boy."

He was not a saint who would save anyone he saw. Xia Yu was not a bad boy. She was only willing to help him because she did not have someone to take care of her.

Xia Yu looked at Xia Wanyuan in disbelief. She nice? The demon's incarnation is kind? People in Beijing would laugh to death if they heard that.

However, hearing Xia Wanyuan's words, Xia Yu could not deny that her heart was filled with excitement.

"I'll trust you when I'm three. What's your real motive?"

"My motive is to find a toy for Xiao Bao, is that reason enough?" Xia Wanyuan laughed.

"Go and open your luggage. Don't expect anyone to break it down for you."

With that said, Xia Wanyuan waved her hand to tell Xia Yu to leave. He did not want to argue with a child.

"Why do I expect someone to unpack for me?"

Xia Yu muttered to herself as she descended. Although he did not get a definite answer, he still felt happy for some reason.

'I'm a very big man and he's like a child. Who will be the toy for whom? Hmph-cn.'

***

"Young Master, the young master of the Xia family, Xia Yu, is Miss Xia's half-brother. Miss Xia brought her back to the apartment. I heard that she wanted him to stay there."

Jun Shiling had just finished an acquisition meeting and returned to his office when Lin Jing approached him.

"okay."

Jun Shiling did not have much of an impression of the Xia family, so he replied calmly. He had planned to give her a home when they divorced. It was his own freedom to decide who could move.

"Please pay attention to Jun Yin."

"Understood."

Lin Jing was about to leave when Jun Shiling suddenly stopped him.

"Wait." Jun Shiling put down the pen he signed.

"How old is Xia Yu?"

"Based on a check, Xia Yu is only 18 years old."

Hearing Lin Jing's words, Jun Shiling raised his eyebrows and frowned, but in the end did not say anything.

"You go down first."

Lin Jing glanced at Jun Shiling, who had not even blinked at the billion-dollar acquisition just now. He really frowned? An unknown light flashed across his eyes behind the frame of his golden glasses.

After pondering for half a second, Lin Jing said firmly, "I heard that Miss Xia will be going to the set tomorrow. I'm afraid he doesn't have time to take care of Little Master. Young Master, do you want to bring Little Master back to the manor to take care of him? "

After hearing Lin Jing's words, Jun Shiling was silent for a while before finally speaking.

"Prepare the car."

"Yes, Young Master."

Lin Jing expressionlessly turned around, then showed an 'as I thought' expression'.

They just finished dinner. Xia Wanyuan was sitting on the sofa with Xiao Bao watching the cartoon, while Xia Yu was watching it with crossed legs, speechless.

It was one thing for the three-year-old to enjoy watching such childish cartoons, but what was wrong with the woman smiling so widely and so engrossed in it?

"Uncle, do you think the big tiger took the village chief away?"

"Of course not. Didn't you see the footprints? It's clearly a wolf's footprint."

Xia Yu was still complaining about the little boy a moment ago, but in the next second, she started explaining everything.

The doorbell rang, but Xiao Bao and Xia Yu, who were immersed in the cartoon, did not notice it.

Xia Wanyuan got up to open the door and suddenly met a pair of pitch-black eyes. Jun Shiling was tall and slender, but he exuded an indifferent vibe.

"Jun Shiling?"

His voice was as clear as spring. This was the first time Xia Wanyuan had called out to him by his name. For some reason, Jun Shiling felt it was fun.

Jun Shiling glanced at Xia Wanyuan and then looked inside the house. Behind the flowers, there was clearly the voice of a young man and the childish laughter of Xiao Bao.

"Since you are going to the set tomorrow, I will bring Xiao Bao back," Jun Shiling said calmly.

"Oh." Only then did Xia Wanyuan remember that she had forgotten Jun Shiling. If he went to the set, it was right for him to bring the child back to his biological father.

With that, Xia Wanyuan stepped aside and gestured for Jun Shiling to enter.

A bright young man and Xiao Bao were together on the sofa. Xiao Bao was so comforted by his attractive uncle that he only noticed Jun Shiling as he walked in front of him.

"Dad." Xiao Bao stopped laughing and looked at Jun Shiling timidly.

This was the first time Xia Yu had seen Jun Shiling. He would not deny that he was bullied by the man in front of him and was silent for a moment. However, when he turned around and saw Xia Wanyuan who was behind Jun Shiling, he forced himself to straighten his back.

Sensing Xiao Bao's fear of him, and noticing how the laughter in the room had subsided due to his arrival, Jun Shiling lowered his head.

"Your mother will be going to the set tomorrow. I'm here to take you back to the manor."

"OK, Dad. Can I still stay with Mom when she comes back?"

"About this.." Jun Shiling looked back. "Let's see if he's willing to take you back."

Xiao Bao looked at Xia Wanyuan expectantly, with his round eyes full of attachment.

"Mom will pick you up as soon as I finish my work." Xia Wanyuan smiled and winked at Xiao Bao.

"okay!" Xiao Bao was finally satisfied. However, his expression darkened when he suddenly recalled that he would not be able to see his uncle if he returned to the manor.

"Then I won't be able to play with Uncle."

Jun Shiling then turned his gaze to Xia Yu, who was looking at him warily. Her deep gaze made Xia Yu's heart turn cold with just a glance.

Jun Shiling was about to say that he was going to send Xia Yu back to the Xia family when Xia Wanyuan stepped forward unexpectedly.

"I've always heard that among all the young talents, Young Master Jun is the most outstanding. If Xia Yu was lucky enough to study under Young Master Jun for some time, it would be more useful to her than studying ten years at university."

As he listened to Xia Wanyuan's praise, Jun Shiling, who had been seen by many since he was young, suddenly felt his heart move.

Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling with eyes swirling.

Xiao Bao's eyes sparkled when he heard Xia Wanyuan. He ran over and grabbed Jun Shiling's thigh, looking at him expectantly.

The adult had flickering eyes, while the child looked innocent and naive. Jun Shiling clenched his fists.

"Then let's get back together."

Xia Wanyuan smiled thankfully at Jun Shiling, revealing half of his dimples. Thumped. The sight made Jun Shiling's heart beat fast.

Xia Yu was too naughty. Xia Wanyuan felt that too few people could conquer Xia Yu. After much thought, there was no one in Beijing who was more suitable than Jun Shiling.

Moreover, what he said just now was sincere. Jun Shiling was indeed the most extraordinary person he had ever seen in both of his lives. There was no loss for Xia Yu to follow Jun Shiling to study.

Just like that, the opinion of the man in question was ignored.

Seeing the king-like face of Jun Shiling, Xia Yu's heart raced a million miles per hour.

'Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, I am too young to die!!!!!'

However, no one cared about Xia Yu's resistance.

"Jun Yin will come back with me tonight, she's still in school tomorrow." Jun Shiling looked at Xiao Bao dejectedly, who was holding onto Xia Wanyuan.

Knowing that she was going to leave early tomorrow, Xia Wanyuan nodded in agreement.

"But I want to sleep with Mom." Upon learning that he was going to part from Xia Wanyuan, tears slowly welled up in Xiao Bao's eyes. She could not bear to part with her Mother Some sad sobbing came out of her trembling lips.

Xia Yu looked at Xiao Bao's crying face and pensively pensive in heart.

"The little devil will be punished by his father."

"Stop messing around. You're going to school tomorrow. Let's go."

Jun Shiling walked over and held Xiao Bao's hand. Just as he was about to leave, he stopped and looked at Xia Yu expressionlessly.

"You too."

"..."

Xia Yu's arrogant expression immediately changed.

"I.. Can't I go tomorrow?"

Jun Shiling glanced at Xia Wanyuan's exposed legs, which were as beautiful as exquisite jade, and felt an inexplicable wave of anger.

"Either you go now or you don't go at all."

Xia Wanyuan did not know why Jun Shiling was angry, but she still tried to ease the atmosphere by persuading Xia Yu.

"It's okay, go with him and help Xiao Bao. I have to get out early tomorrow."

Whatever struggle he did was in vain. In the end, Jun Shiling held Xiao Bao's hand and left the apartment with Xia Yu, whose face was wrinkled like a bun.

The boisterous house suddenly became quiet. Xia Wanyuan sat on the carpet, holding a cup of tea while looking out the window. Modern cities are not like ancient times where all places will be closed once night falls. At night, the modern city lights up with countless fluorescent lights, giving it a unique charm.

As she looked out the window at the myriad of lights outside, Xia Wanyuan began to miss the little boy who had always been clinging to her. He wondered if they had arrived safely.

At this moment, the phone vibrated, and the screen showed a black profile picture flashing with several stars on it.

The caller ID displays one word, "Jun".

Before Xiao Bao left, he was very reluctant to part with Xia Wanyuan, so he had promised her a video call to coax her to sleep. It seems they have arrived home safely.

Xia Wanyuan smiled, put the cup in her hand, and pressed the answer button.

"Mother!"

A white and fun boy wedged on the screen.

"Good boy. Have you taken a shower?" Xia Wanyuan gently responded.

"Yes, Mother. Aunt at home helped me take a shower. I'm so fragrant now. Kiss me!"

With that, Xiao Bao placed his hand in front of the phone.

"Yes, you smell good." Xia Wanyuan's lips curled up at the adorable action of the child.

Next to Xiao Bao sat Jun Shiling, who was reading the documents on his computer seriously. However, even though Xiao Bao had been chatting with Xia Wanyuan for nearly fifteen minutes, he was still on the first page.

"Alright, it's time for bed. Tomorrow you have to get up early for school."

A low and attractive male voice could be heard. Xia Wanyuan, who wanted to talk to Xiao Bao even longer, realized that it was already very late.

"Dad, can I sleep with you? I'm afraid of little monsters."

Xia Wanyuan had been watching Ultraman with Xiao Bao these few days, and Xiao Bao needed Xia Wanyuan to accompany him to sleep at night because he was afraid that the little monster would catch him and take him away while he was asleep.

Jun Shiling, who had never been close to anyone, wanted to reprimand him, but when he looked down and saw a pair of wet eyes that resembled his, he finally allowed it.

"Mom, the song you sang yesterday was really good. I want to hear it today."

After being thrown onto the bed and crammed under the covers by Jun Shiling, Xiao Bao still held his phone to talk to Xia Wanyuan.

"Okay, then lie down and get rid of your phone. Mom will sing. Be good and sleep. "

Xia Wanyuan enjoyed listening to recent popular songs. The melody is easy to remember and the lyrics are catchy. Therefore, when he persuaded Jun Yin to go to sleep, he often hummed the songs he had just learned.

"Mm!" Xiao Bao obediently placed his phone near the pillow and closed his eyes.

Jun Shiling glared at him silently. He was very uncooperative when he had a shower just now, unlike now. It was a pity that Xiao Bao's eyes were closed and he didn't notice Jun Shiling's gaze.

Xia Wanyuan's clear singing voice sounded over the phone. His voice was like a puddle of clear water hitting the spring as if it was the only sound that could seep into the depths of one's heart in this calm night.

Slowly, Xiao Bao's breathing became calmer, and the singing on the phone became gradually softer. Xia Wanyuan slowly fell asleep as well.

Jun Shiling, who had been sitting quietly by the bedside for a long time, gently picked up the phone from the pillow when he did not hear any sound from the phone anymore.

All that remains in the picture is a clean and beautiful side profile. Her hair was strewn across the pillow. Xia Wanyuan's long eyelashes were like little bow fans, casting shadows on his lower eyelids.

Jun Shiling was fascinated. He looked at her quietly for a while, then reached out to the phone and hung up the call.

The little boy curled up on the bed involuntarily, as if he was looking for someone to lean on. Jun Shiling, who was about to continue working overtime, lifted the blanket and fell asleep beside Xiao Bao.

Sensing the source of warmth, Xiao Bao's hands and feet wrapped around him.

That surprised him. Jun Shiling, who had never been this close to anyone before, froze for a moment. After a while, he reached out and hugged the delicate little boy whose height was not even half that.

The man's heart swelled with warmth as he inhaled the warm, milk-like scent emanating from the little boy's body. It was the natural bond that came with the blood relation.

The night finally calmed down.

***

They were supposed to meet at the airport at half-eight in the morning. However, given Xia Wanyuan's usual lazy habits, she probably won't come until nine. Therefore, Chen Yun ate leisurely before arriving at the airport.

Unexpectedly, as he entered the VIP room, he saw Xia Wanyuan sitting quietly in a chair with sunglasses, drinking tea.

She wore a white floral shirt and white tights that made her legs look slender like a pair of bamboo chopsticks. She also wore a pink jacket with long flower petal sleeves and a long belt around her waist, which made her look like a blooming flower.

"..."

She knew that Xia Wanyuan was beautiful and she had always loved bold colors and flamboyant styles. After a long time, he had already gotten used to his style.

However, the current Xia Wanyuan, despite wearing a relatively monotonous color, was as smooth and moving as a lotus in the rain, leaving one with the rest of an endless flavor.

"Hey, um, are you here early in the morning?" He feels a little guilty. Moreover, he was surprised by Xia Wanyuan's sudden change in style. Chen Yun approached him with a hint of embarrassment.

"Don't we agree to meet at half-eight?"

"..." - ".He doesn't know what to say.

"It's time, let's go and check in."

Until they boarded the plane, Xia Wanyuan was actually confused. After all, it was the first time he had gone through a ticket check and security check. Fortunately, since the original owner of the body was lazy in the past, Chen Yun had to handle things for him. Therefore, there are no visible flaws.

The plane gradually rose into the sky. Xia Wanyuan recovered from her dizziness and looked outside, only to find that she was already in the clouds.

Large clouds piled up outside the window like cotton candy. When she was a little princess, she often asked her mother what was above the clouds. His mother told him that it was a place for immortal beings to live.

Looking at the clouds outside the window now, Xia Wanyuan felt an inexplicable bitterness in her heart.
