The Daughter of the Enchanted in the Modern Age

Chapter 161

Some of those former trusted aides had been directly instigated by Xia Wanyuan to defect, and some had been directly pushed aside by Xia Wanyuan because they refused to cooperate.

Those people were self-proclaimed veterans, but Xia Wanyuan did not care how good their relationship with Father Xia was. As long as there was someone with ill intentions, Xia Wanyuan would directly replace him.

Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had not fallen for their trickery, these people, who had relied on their experience and profits for many years in the company, were, soften their attitude to reason with Xia Wanyuan and talk about feelings.

However, Xia Wanyuan was not an easy person to talk to. He is direct and firm. “Go away soon.”

It was only then that these elders found Father Xia, but Father Xia was unable to control Xia Wanyuan anymore. These people regretted it, but it was too late.

Seeing Xia Wanyuan and Shen Qian gradually bringing the company back on track, Father Xia was even more anxious at home. The child sleeping in the cot not far from there seemed to be troubled by Father Xia's anxiety. He opened his mouth and started crying loudly.

"Yuanyuan, the boy was crying."

Father Xia called, but no one answered.

"The lady's out and not at home." The babysitter walked over and took the child, gently coaxing him. However, the boy was not comforted by his mother and continued to cry.

Xia Yuanqing was upset by what he heard. He pushed open the door and left the room. In the past few days, he had finally seen through the nature of Han Yuan, this woman, who usually hid behind her sweet mouth. His mood soon deteriorated, and he could not be bothered with the newborn child.

“Do you like this?” Han Yuan, who told Xia Yuanqing that he was going to go eat with his best friend in the morning, was sitting at the dining table.

However, opposite him was not his best friend, but a middle-aged man who was slightly older than Xia Yuanqing.

"I like that." Han Yuan nodded timidly. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at the jewelry inside the box. Xia Yuanqing had never bought her such a large piece of jewelry.

"This is for you." The middle-aged man handed the jewelry box to Han Yuan.

“Then I will accept it. Thank you, CEO Bo.” Han Yuan happily accepted the jewelry box.

“Do not mention it. We are not strangers.”

Looking at the watch in front of him that was worth the price of a villa, Han Yuan was shocked. When she was still a nurse, she thought that someone like Father Xia was a very rich person.

Only now did he realize that there was someone richer. Father Xia's money was meaningless in front of CEO Bo.

***

Bo Xiao casually glanced at the photos that had just been sent and the corners of his lips curved up. He is very quick to change women.

Just as he was about to turn off the computer, Bo Xiao suddenly realized that the woman opposite Bo Qing looked a little familiar.

He zoomed in on the picture and felt amused.

Isn't this Sister-in-law's stepmother??

The world is really too small. Bo Qing, that old man, ignored the others, was very good at finding women. He would find any woman he should not touch and find them one by one.

Bo Xiao tidied up the photos and sent them to Jun Shiling.

At that moment, Jun Shiling frowned as he looked at the itinerary sent by Lin Jing.

"French? Tonight then? Why didn't you tell me earlier?”

“CEO Jun, this is a temporary adjustment of meeting time. I came to let you know as soon as I received the news.”

“Alright, I understand. Go and get ready. You're coming with me.”

"Yes, CEO Jun."

Jun Shiling glanced at his travel plans. His flight was at six, and he didn't even have time to return to the manor to explain to them.

For many years, Jun Shiling had been used to going on business trips. He has flown around the world. This was the first time he had so refused to take a business trip.

Jun Shiling originally wanted to bring Xia Wanyuan, but thought that it would take nearly ten hours to go to France and that Xia Wanyuan seemed to have a publicity event to do tomorrow, he said, he could only give up on the idea.

He called the manor and Uncle Wang replied. He said that Xia Wanyuan went to the swimming hall to exercise, so Jun Shiling hung up the phone.

By the time Xia Wanyuan came out of the pool, the sky was already dark.

Old Master Jun sent a letter saying that he wanted to bring Xiao Bao to the square for two days and he missed his great-grandson.

"Where's Jun Shiling?" 

Xia Wanyuan touched her hungry stomach, thinking that they would start eating when Jun Shiling returned.

“Young Master went to France for a business trip. He must be on the plane by now.” Uncle Wang asked the servants to serve food as he replied.

"French? Okay." Okay." Xia Wanyuan had seen this country on the map before. That's very far.

As she sat at the dining table and was alone in the large dining room, Xia Wanyuan felt a little uncomfortable.

It had been a long time since he had eaten alone.

He subconsciously grabbed the glass of water beside him, but it was empty. In the past, Jun Shiling would always put a glass of warm water in his hand before eating. Xia Wanyuan had no choice but to get up and pour a glass for herself.

He took a piece of tofu and placed it in his bowl. Onion, ginger, and garlic on tofu drip into the rice. Xia Wanyuan recalled that in the past few days, whenever Jun Shiling took food for her, she would first throw out onions, ginger, ginger, and some other ginger, and the garlic he disliked before putting it in his bowl.

It was as if nothing he had eaten before. Xia Wanyuan stopped after a few mouthfuls of food and went to the kitchen to bring a bowl of fruit upstairs.

Leaning on the sofa in the bedroom, Xia Wanyuan watched the Happy Sheep and ate the fruit. He felt that the faint pressure in his heart had not gone away, so he put down his phone and went into the bathroom to take a bath.

On the plane that had already left China, Jun Shiling ate two mouthfuls of food and lost his appetite.

Lin Jing glanced at Jun Shiling's expression.

“CEO Jun, the phone on this private plane has been specially modified. It can communicate through voice and video calls with the outside world. Do you want to call home and tell me you're safe? Madam may be worried about you,”

"Mm," Jun Shiling replied, then tossed his chopsticks and sat down at the end of the sofa. He pressed the reception button for the guest cabin, then turned on his phone and called Xia Wanyuan on WeChat.

“CEO Jun, I will return to the room to eat.” After speaking, Lin Jing picked up her bowl and left the cabin.

Lin Jing felt that when she retired in the future, she might be able to write a book, "The Self-Development of a Special Assistant Light Ball".

The phone rang for a long time. Jun Shiling was confused as to whether Xia Wanyuan was asleep. The music was almost over, and Jun Shiling would hang up the phone when the phone picked up.

“Jun Shiling? Why is there a signal on the plane?” 

Xia Wanyuan was a little surprised. Didn't they say they couldn't call each other on the plane?  Xia Wanyuan had just thought of calling Jun Shiling, but thinking that she might not be able to answer the phone, she gave up.

"I can do it by my side." They had obviously been separated for several hours, but Jun Shiling acted as if he had not seen Xia Wanyuan for a long time. She glanced at Xia Wanyuan a few times before realizing that she had just taken a bath. Her hair was half wet. 

"Why don't you dry your hair?"

"Huh?" 

It was as if Xia Wanyuan had just realized that her hair was wet. He reached out to touch her and felt a patch of coldness. His eyebrows frowned slightly, and his tone of voice carried an unconscious frenzy. 

"You're not here."

The dependency and unconscious habits in his words made Jun Shiling's heart ache and soften. He wanted to appear in front of Xia Wanyuan now and dry his hair as usual, but now, he could only see her on the screen.

After Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, she felt a little strange.

In his previous life, he was the one who relied on his younger siblings. No matter what happens, it is he who will endure it. He also never relied on anyone else. In the end, in the modern world, she was actually unwilling to dry her own hair.

“Alright, go and dry your hair first. Be well. Don't catch a cold later. I'll wait for you." Jun Shiling's tone was very gentle today.

Although he was usually very gentle to Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling's gentle tone today was filled with affection. Just listening to her speak made Xia Wanyuan's face turn red and her ears heat up.

Xia Wanyuan had interacted with many men in her two generations. She had good teachers, friends, relatives, and friends, but she had never experienced such a scene when she interacted with Jun Shiling.

In Xia Wanyuan's world, there had never been a concept of love.

However, he felt his relationship with Jun Shiling seemed to be different from before. This relationship made him panic, but there was also a bit of excitement from his panic.

“Mm.” 

Xia Wanyuan put the phone on the side and went to pick up the hair dryer. She was always used to someone else drying her hair. Xia Wanyuan was still not used to it. It took him almost twenty minutes to dry his hair.

Xia Wanyuan picked up her phone again. On the other end of the phone, Jun Shiling was reading the documents with his head lowered. On the paper beside him, there was already a page full of notes.

Xia Wanyuan could not help but sigh. Only Jun Shiling like that could make Jun Corporation reach its current scale.

“Why don't you do your job first? I won't bother you anymore.”

“I'm not busy.” Hearing the commotion, Jun Shiling placed the brush in his hand and carefully looked at Xia Wanyuan's hair. After making sure that it was dry, a smile appeared in his eyes. 

"Why did you blow it so messy?"

"Of course I'm not as good as you." Xia Wanyuan sat on the bed and found a comfortable position to lie down. Her clothes opened up a beautiful part of her collarbone, making her shine under the light.

"Mm, when I get back, you don't have to do it alone." 

Jun Shiling's tone was still filled with tolerance and pampering, just like the way Xia Wanyuan used to persuade Xiao Bao. Xia Wanyuan's ears were somehow on fire.

”What are you eating tonight?” Since Xia Wanyuan did not speak, Jun Shiling changed the subject.

“Abon pig, shrimp, and vegetables.” After Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, she seemed to complain. “I didn't touch the shrimp.”

Jun Shiling's heart skipped a beat. He knows why he didn't touch the shrimp.

The soft net that had been quietly installed had already begun to slowly close.

“Wait for me to come back,” Jun Shiling only said this one sentence after hearing Xia Wanyuan's words, but Xia Wanyuan understood her point.
