The Daughter of the Enchanted in the Modern Age

Chapter 153

Even from behind, Jun Shiling instantly recognized Xia Wanyuan.

“Do not go.” 

Jun Shiling put down the documents in his hands, hurriedly stood up, walked to the door, and grabbed Xia Wanyuan's wrist.

Xia Wanyuan glanced at Jun Shiling's hand that was holding her hand, and she immediately let go.

“Are you not very busy? I won't bother you anymore.” As Xia Wanyuan spoke, there was a hint of anger that she was unaware of.

“I'm not busy. Login." Jun Shiling picked up the lunch box from Xia Wanyuan and greeted him inside.

Xia Wanyuan sat on the sofa and took off her glasses and mask. Jun Shiling felt a chill on Xia Wanyuan's face and was confused. Who provoked him?

"How was your trip to the company today?" Jun Shiling investigated.

"Pretty good."

Alright, now Jun Shiling was sure who made Xia Wanyuan angry.

Normally, Xia Wanyuan would share what she had met in the company with him and ask for his advice. Now that he had only said two words, he must have been angry.

“Come, we eat.” Jun Shiling arranged the food and handed the chopsticks to Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan picked up the chopsticks and ate without a word.

Picking up a piece of pork rib, Jun Shiling's eyes warmed up. 

"You cooked it."

"Mm" Xia Wanyuan replied.

As usual, Jun Shiling picked up Xia Wanyuan's favorite food and placed it in his bowl while he ate what he disliked.

"Miss Zheng, you can't get in." It was noisy outside the office. Xia Wanyuan suddenly stopped eating.

"Surge. I'm CEO Jun's childhood sweetheart. Who do you think you are? How dare you stop me?”

Zheng Fei's family was extremely strong, and he was surrounded by people everywhere he went. He had never been stopped before, so he immediately asked the bodyguards to move the secretary.

Just as he was about to enter Jun Shiling's office, the door suddenly opened and Jun Shiling appeared at the door with a ferocious aura. Zheng Fei's eyes twinkled. 

“Brother Shiling, I am the younger sister of the Zheng family. You servants are very difficult to manage. How dare they stop me?”

Jun Shiling glanced at him coldly, pulled out his phone, and called.

"If you can't control your own people, I don't mind sending them to Prison 7."

Without waiting for a response, Jun Shiling hung up the phone. At that moment, Lin Jing came with a security team.

"Send them to the police station and tell Director Liu to do impartial things" Jun Shiling ordered before turning to leave.

"Brother Shiling!" 

Zheng Fei looked at the cold Jun Shiling in surprise. Old Master Jun had a good relationship with his grandfather. Moreover, the Zheng family was a political party that many people in Beijing wanted to climb up to. He thought that Jun Shiling would definitely see him if he came to look for Jun Shiling.

The security team only listened to Jun Shiling's orders. They did not care about Zheng Fei's background and sent him and his bodyguards to the police station.

Director Liu looked at the people who had been sent and heard what Jun Shiling had said. He had a headache. Why are they all so strong!?

However, Director Liu still chose to listen to Jun Shiling and detain Zheng Fei as a provocation.

When Jun Shiling entered the house, Xia Wanyuan had already put down his chopsticks. His expression looked even colder than before.

"Why eat a little? Eat more." Jun Shiling advanced and saw that the food in Xia Wanyuan's bowl was still there.

"It's none of your business." As Xia Wanyuan spoke, both of them were stunned.

Xia Wanyuan felt that she never spoke carelessly.

Jun Shiling's heart sank upon hearing Xia Wanyuan's words.

It seemed that some previous intimate act had finally aroused Xia Wanyuan's disgust, to the point that she had rejected it so far.

“Then don't eat. Drink tea.” Jun Shiling suppressed the gloom in his heart and forced a smile as he poured a cup of tea for Xia Wanyuan.

"That's not what I meant." Xia Wanyuan herself did not know why her tone had suddenly turned bad. He was always good at controlling his emotions.

"I knew. Drink tea.” Jun Shiling smiled and handed the teacup to Xia Wanyuan. He picked up the bowl and secretly ate the food on the table.

Jun Shiling, who was wrapped in a fierce aura, actually looked a little sad.

The food Xia Wanyuan prepared was for two people. Xia Wanyuan did not move her chopsticks much, and Jun Shiling slowly ate all the food Xia Wanyuan had prepared.

"Are you not full?" Xia Wanyuan was a little surprised.

"It would be useless if we couldn't finish it." Jun Shiling usually controlled his diet and did not eat much. Now that he had eaten two servings of food, he felt fine.

Furthermore, this was made by Xia Wanyuan. He did not know if he would be able to eat his cooking in the future. Jun Shiling sighed inwardly. He naturally did not want to waste it at all.

After dinner, Xia Wanyuan wanted to return to the manor.

Jun Shiling told Lin Jing on his phone and postponed all meetings in the afternoon. Then he looked at Xia Wanyuan. 

“I happen to have nothing in the afternoon. Let's get back together.”

"okay."

Since she did not eat much for lunch, when Xia Wanyuan smelled the smell of cake, her appetite was aroused.

He took a spoonful and put it in his mouth. The taste is a little bit bitter. Tastes a little like plum?

Xia Wanyuan lowered her head to look at the packaging in the box. As expected, it was a green plum.

After looking at the words 'green plum' [1. The Chinese words for 'green plum' are the same as the first two words 'childhood lover' in Chinese.], Xia Wanyuan recalled the words 'childhood lover' and 'Brother Shiling' the one Zheng Fei mentioned. He immediately lost his appetite and placed the remaining cake on the table.

“Are you not healthy?” Jun Shiling asked Xia Wanyuan with concern.

“I feel pretty good.” For some reason, Xia Wanyuan felt a wave of unknown complicated emotions in her heart when she looked at Jun Shiling.

Feeling impatience in Xia Wanyuan's tone, Jun Shiling clenched his hands slightly and stopped bothering him.

After returning to the manor, Xia Wanyuan leaned back on the sofa and watched television. Jun Shiling did not go to the study room to work, which was unusual. Instead, he sat by a French window and looked into the garden. No one knows what he's thinking.

Uncle Wang is experienced. With one look, he knew that the two of them were fighting. However, he could not interfere much with Jun Shiling's matter, so he could only worry in his heart.

ding. 

At that moment, the phone near the sofa rang. Xia Wanyuan picked up the phone. Before he could speak, the other party had already called out, "Brother Shiling."

Xia Wanyuan's expression turned cold and she put down her phone. 

"Jun Shiling, this is for you."

Jun Shiling heard the commotion and came to answer the phone. He listened for a while before hanging up. He looked at the caller ID and looked at Zheng's family number.

Jun Shiling's eyes were cold.

It seemed that since the political career of the Zheng family had gone smoothly over the past few years, they were actually treating themselves as one of the leading noble families in Beijing.

Thinking that Xia Wanyuan had not had lunch yet and was in a bad mood, Jun Shiling wanted to take her out to eat in the afternoon to relax. 

“I think you quite like to eat fish. I'll take you to a delicious place that makes fish in the afternoon.”

"No." Xia Wanyuan rejected him firmly.

“The family really made a pretty good meal. I went to eat with my friends when I was young.” “That lotus” pool has been open for years. Back then, he had saved Bo Xiao in the pond at the entrance of that "lotus pond.

Then, Bo Xiao brought him to eat a few times. The fish in the restaurant was quite tasty and the surroundings were very elegant.

Hearing Jun Shiling mention his childhood friend, Xia Wanyuan naturally thought of her so-called childhood sweetheart, Zheng Fei.

Xia Wanyuan's heart was in a mess. Before his brain could react, he had already exclaimed, “ Which friend? Is that your childhood sweetheart?”

Xia Wanyuan's inexplicable words startled Jun Shiling.

She grew up alone since she was young. The only person close to him was Bo Xiao, let alone any woman. Where did this dear little sister of childhood come from?

Jun Shiling's gaze suddenly swept across the phone. Thinking of the fake "Brother Shiling" of the woman from the Zheng family, he suddenly gained enlightenment and put it all together.

It seemed that everything that was wrong with Xia Wanyuan had started at noon.

A guess he could not believe emerged from the bottom of his heart. Even the usually calm Jun Shiling could not suppress the excitement in his heart.

His eyes, which had been grim all day, were now very bright.

At that moment, Xia Wanyuan also realized something was wrong. He cursed in his heart. What's wrong with me today? I'm totally screwed.  He turned to leave, but Jun Shiling grabbed his wrist.

Uncle Wang, who was pacing around anxiously not far away, hurriedly retreated when he saw this scene.

Shit, young people are really tormenting when they fall in love. It made my old heart flutter.

Xia Wanyuan turned around and looked at Jun Shiling's extremely bright eyes, as if she was very happy about something.

Jun Shiling barely suppressed the ecstasy in his heart. Thinking that he couldn't scare Xia Wanyuan. He had to do it slowly and not let this seedling that had finally appeared be feared by him.

“I don't have a childhood sweetheart. Ever since I was young, other than having a friend like Bo Xiao, I had no close friends or sisters. I only saw Zheng Fei three times in total. When I was young during his grandfather's fiftieth birthday once, and the seventy-year anniversary before was another time, and today is the last time."

Jun Shiling seemed to confess. He combed through a very simple relationship, his eyes serious and serious.

“Why are you telling me this? It has nothing to do with me.” Xia Wanyuan struggled free from Jun Shiling's hands with an unnatural expression. However, there was no denying that due to Jun Shiling's words, the frustration in Xia Wanyuan's heart was instantly relieved.

“I just don't want you to misunderstand. I don't want you to think that I'm a playboy. Dear childhood what is all?” Jun Shiling was not angry when his hand was pulled because he could clearly see Xia Wanyuan's softened expression.

"understand. CEO Jun is the most loyal person, okay?” Xia Wanyuan was a little embarrassed and inevitably joked.

"You will know," Jun Shiling replied inexplicably. Before Xia Wanyuan could investigate further, she changed the subject. 

“Fish it's really delicious. I haven't been there in years. Just treat it as accompanying me, okay? ”

"okay."
