The Daughter of the Enchanted in the Modern Age

Chapter 168

This time, Xia Wanyuan did not avoid Jun Shiling's gaze.

Hence, he saw the burning warmth in Jun Shiling's eyes and the softness that seeped out from the corner of his eyes.

All the things he usually ignored were suddenly connected in his heart.

"OKay?" Jun Shiling asked again. 

Jun Shiling, who had always been firm in killing, actually had an invisible vibration in his voice.

She stared intently into Xia Wanyuan's eyes, afraid that she would see a sign of rejection.

"I don't know." After a moment of silence, Xia Wanyuan finally spoke.

Xia Wanyuan was not a hesitant person, but at this moment, she had no idea what she was feeling.

He admitted that he seemed to be unconsciously relying on Jun Shiling, but he did not know how to deal with this unknown emotion.

A faint light flashed in Jun Shiling's eyes, but at least he didn't hear any rejection from her. He feels very lucky.

“Then I will give you time. Grandpa's birthday is half a month away. I hope when the time comes, you can congratulate her as the real Madame Jun.”

“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan nodded.

“Can I hug you again?” Before Xia Wanyuan could answer, Jun Shiling pulled her into his arms.

Although Xia Wanyuan stiffened for a moment, she did not reject him. A smile flashed across Jun Shiling's eyes.

"Are you not hot?" Xia Wanyuan was a little speechless. As he hugged her, he could feel the heat from Jun Shiling.

Jun Shiling chuckled and placed his hand on Xia Wanyuan's shoulder. He tightened his grip slightly, letting it lean closer to his chest.

"Do you feel it?" Jun Shiling's voice passed through Xia Wanyuan's ears, making him panic for no reason.

"What?" Xia Wanyuan could not help but ask.

"It's beating really fast." Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms.

Xia Wanyuan could feel Jun Shiling's heart beating fast and fast through the thin summer clothes.

The presence of this heart is too great. Xia Wanyuan struggled for a while, wanting to get out of Jun Shiling's embrace.

"I miss you." Jun Shiling lowered his head and whispered into Xia Wanyuan's ears.

Xia Wanyuan's struggle suddenly stopped. Then, his face quickly flushed.

Jun Shiling naturally looked at Xia Wanyuan's red ear tips. This time, he was finally willing to let go.

Jun Shiling took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to Xia Wanyuan. 

“It looks like I didn't buy this wrong. With your red ears, you should be matched with rubies like that.”

Xia Wanyuan had yet to recover from Jun Shiling's series of actions when she teased him again. He could not help but stare at her reproachfully, causing Jun Shiling's eyes to darken instantly.

After tearing the veil in front of him, Jun Shiling no longer deliberately hid his strength in front of Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan could easily feel the change in Jun Shiling's eyes.

Afraid that she would say something embarrassing again, Xia Wanyuan hurriedly took the box from her. The moment the box was opened, Xia Wanyuan's eyes twinkled.

A pair of dark red earrings lay quietly inside the box. The color was as beautiful as fireworks, and the color emitted by the angular refraction was dazzling.

"It's so beautiful." Xia Wanyuan could not help but praise.

"Do you like it?"

"Yes." Yeah."

“Mm, I also like it,” Jun Shiling said casually, his gaze fixed on Xia Wanyuan.

Jun Shiling's words had an inherent meaning. Xia Wanyuan looked up and saw Jun Shiling looking at her.

"I mean those earrings."

“It was very unfortunate.” The corner of Jun Shiling's lips curved slightly. 

“I'm talking about you.”

“…”

"Don't you go to the company?" Jun Shiling had left Jun Corporation for two days, and things might pile up like mountains.

"No, I want to accompany you."

“…”

Xia Wanyuan stopped talking. I shouldn't have taken the initiative to talk to Jun Shiling.

"Do you have anything this afternoon?" 

Seeing Xia Wanyuan not talking to him, Jun Shiling could only find a topic.

“Yes, I'll send Xia Yu away. He will join the military.”

After Xia Yu told him the news, he went to check the information.

The "Youth" plan Xia Yu signed was a military entrance that the military districts of the two countries used to target students from higher education institutions.

It said that the restrictions were very strict. It was amazing that Xia Yu could pass their initial screening.

Xia Yu seemed to have made a big decision. He had prepared everything before telling Xia Wanyuan. That afternoon was the day when Xia Yu left school and went to the training ground.

“Then I will accompany you as well. Come back and eat first.”

In the manor, Uncle Wang was surprised to see Jun Shiling get out of the car.

In previous European meetings, it took a week to get back from Europe. It didn't make sense for him to come back so early this year.

Then, Uncle Wang saw Xia Wanyuan get off the car behind Jun Shiling.

Mm, this makes sense.

Uncle Wang continued to water the flowers casually.

At the dining table.

As usual, Jun Shiling peeled the shrimp for Xia Wanyuan.

Before Jun Shiling opened this layer of paper, Xia Wanyuan had already gotten used to Jun Shiling's silent attitude. In the past, he had never felt anything was wrong.

But now, seeing Jun Shiling sitting at the side, his hand that casually signed hundreds of millions of dollars, slowly peeling off the shrimp skin, Xia Wanyuan's heart skipped a beat.

“Does it look good?” Jun Shiling laughed.

"I didn't see you." Xia Wanyuan retracted her gaze.

"I'm not saying you're looking at me." Jun Shiling smiled and waved his hand, revealing Patek Philippe on his wrist. 

“You should see this watch. Do you like it? I'll give it to you.”

“…”

Xia Wanyuan was choked by Jun Shiling's words. He just closed his mouth and buried his head in his bowl.

Fair and tender shrimp meat is placed in the bowl. Xia Wanyuan bit and took it. Beside him was the warm water Jun Shiling gave him.

After eating, Jun Shiling insisted on leaving with Xia Wanyuan, who followed him.

“Xia Yu, you are too sudden. You didn't even give us time to eat farewell.” Su Mei patted Xia Yu on the shoulder with reluctance in her eyes.

Two days ago, when they saw Xia Yu saying that she wanted to join the military, they thought she was joking. Who would have thought Xia Yu would get serious and leave so suddenly? They're not ready at all.

Although they did not have much relationship with Xia Yu when they were in the first year of university and even looked down on him, she said, they have spent all their time together in the same dorm this semester and have long been close friends.

Now that Xia Yu had suddenly left, everyone felt a little uncomfortable.

“Not that I don't have a holiday. What are you all doing like little girls? Aiyaya, don't cry later. I won't lend you my shoulder.”
