The Daughter of the Enchanted in the Modern Age

Chapter 173

Xia Wanyuan looked up. A very delicate woman blocked Xia Wanyuan's chopsticks with her chopsticks and picked up the meatballs Xia Wanyuan was about to take.

Xia Wanyuan glanced at him. Wei Yu was a little scared, but thinking that Xia Wanyuan was only a second-rate actress, how could she have the right to eat with them? He glared back. 

“Hmph, you're just an actress. Do not treat yourself as a member of the Wei family just because you entered the door of the Wei.” family

“Nona Xia is a guest. Furthermore, she is the daughter of Third Miss Wei.” Wei Zimu frowned. Wei Yu had already gone too far.

“Pfft, one more. Aren't you the same as him? You're just an adopted child. After eating some food bribes from the Wei family, you really think of yourself as my brother?”

Wei Yu's words made everyone laugh. Wei Zimu's face turned pale, and he looked at Xia Wanyuan with embarrassment.

The commotion at the junior table caught the attention of others, but no one noticed them. The old madam swallowed a mouthful of hot soup and accidentally glanced at the dining table where Xia Wanyuan was sitting.

Everyone was waiting to see Xia Wanyuan humiliate herself, but Xia Wanyuan acted as if she had not heard Wei Yu. He stretched out his chopsticks to grab the crispy meat in front of him.

As expected, a pair of chopsticks appeared in front of him again. Xia Wanyuan stopped and glanced at Wei Yu. 

“You like this dish?”

"That's right." Wei Yu raised his chin slightly and looked extremely arrogant.

"Then I'll let you eat it." With that, Xia Wanyuan picked up the plate with her chopsticks. The plate spun and landed in front of Wei Yu. When it landed on the table, it made an explosion, shocking everyone.

“Xia Wanyuan, what are you doing?!! You're dirtying my clothes!!” As the sauce on the crispy meat plate fell on the table, it spilled all over the table in front of Wei Yu. Wei Yu was so frightened that she stood up to check on her evening dress. This was the latest design he had bought at a high price.

"If you like, I'll bring it for you to eat. Also, your dress is not stained at all. Do not overdo it when talking. Actually, you seem to really like this meatball."

With that, Xia Wanyuan took the plate with the meatballs and placed it next to the plate.

It was unknown what trick Xia Wanyuan used. The two plates occupied the space in front of Wei Yu. The vegetable soup also seemed to have a soul, and it did not surpass the other thunder pools.

Everyone at the table was dumbfounded. Xia Wanyuan picked up her chopsticks and slowly chose her favorite dish.

Seeing Xia Wanyuan's actions, Wei Zimu was first stunned, then his eyes were filled with smiles. What a sister who refuses to suffer loss.

"Grandma, look at him." Wei Yu was stunned by Xia Wanyuan's series of actions. He stomped his feet with complaints and ran to the old mistress to act flirtatious.

“Come back and eat. Don't make trouble.” The old woman did not give him any face.

"Good." Wei Yu pursed his lips with a complaint. He could only ask the maid to change the tablecloth for him and dine obediently, not daring to cause any more trouble for Xia Wanyuan.

On the high chair, the old mistress glanced at Xia Wanyuan, who had stirred up controversy but was still eating quietly. His eyes flickered slightly before he retracted his gaze.

Xia Wanyuan did not know whether others were happy or not, but Xia Wanyuan was quite full. The food cooked by the Wei family chef was not bad.

After the meal, the table in the hall was moved. Everyone sat in the hall and listened to Old Lady's lecture.

Originally, he had wanted to investigate the background of the Wei family, but he had not expected that the Wei family had so many rules.

In her previous life, when Xia Wanyuan was a princess, she had more rules than now. However, she had been used to wandering around the palace these few days, and the Wei family did not have much to do with her, so Xia Wanyuan felt extremely bored. He took advantage of Old Lady Wei's rest and left the hall.

Under the light of night, the garden outside revealed a blurred beauty. Xia Wanyuan walked around the corridor. The fresh air in the courtyard removed the boredom in his heart.

“You Xia Wanyuan? Third Sister's daughter?” An old voice suddenly came from behind.

Xia Wanyuan turned around and saw Old Lady Wei standing not far away. Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow. "Yes, Old Lady."

"How's the banquet today?" The Old Madam looked at Xia Wanyuan's and Wei Shu's similar brows and suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do.

“The food is quite good.” Xia Wanyuan stood up calmly, and her words made the brows of butler Zeng twitch.

Miss Xia looked like a smart person, but she did not know how to seize the opportunity. Even if he really felt that the food was good, he should not say it out loud.

The old madam stood up quietly and looked at Xia Wanyuan for a while. Xia Wanyuan returned Old Lady Wei's gaze fearlessly.

After a while, a smile suddenly flashed in the old madam's eyes. Then, without saying anything, he took the butler Zeng away.

When they had eaten earlier, Xia Wanyuan had basically identified everyone in the Wei family. He looked at the time and realized that it was time to return. No one lived here, so he walked straight out the door.

"Wait a minute." Wei Zimu also walked out of the hall and waved at Xia Wanyuan.

A hint of admiration flashed in Xia Wanyuan's eyes as she looked at Wei Zimu, who had come casually. This Wei Zimu, who had been adopted by the Wei family, seemed much more prominent than the so-called other Wei family members.

"What's the problem?" Wei Zimu had just helped her at the table, so Xia Wanyuan was much more polite to her.

“My name is Wei Zimu, and I've been considered your brother. Can I call you Sister Wanyuan? ”

"As far as you." Xia Wanyuan nodded.

“This is the first time I saw you today, so I didn't have time to prepare a gift for you. It's a little thing I made myself. Think of it as my first gift to see my sister. Wei Yu was young and always pampered. Don't be calculative with it.”

With an apologetic expression, Wei Zimu handed a small box to Xia Wanyuan.

Xia Wanyuan reached out to take it. 

“I'm not against it. Thank you." Thank you."

"All right."

Wei Zimu was the one who made people feel like a breeze and the moon at first glance. When one chatted with him, it made one feel like one was bathing in the spring breeze. He's like a simple man.

He accompanied Xia Wanyuan out of the door. Along the way, he told Xia Wanyuan many things about the Wei family, and he learned more about them.

“How will you be back? Do you need me to send you?" After sending Xia Wanyuan to the door, she did not see her car. As Wei Zimu spoke, he took out his key and prepared to drive Xia Wanyuan home.

"I ..." Xia Wanyuan was about to refuse when the Phantom she knew lit up not far away. “Someone came to pick me up. Thank you for your goodwill.”

The Phantom is slowly moving. The driver stood in front of the car door and waited for Xia Wanyuan and Wei Zimu to finish speaking.

“Goodbye, Sister Wanyuan. Here's my phone number. You can search for me if you need anything,” Wei Zimu said as he handed the business card to Xia Wanyuan.

Xia Wanyuan received the business card and turned around to get into the car.

The car door closed and the car slowly drove away. Wei Zimu's eyes were filled with confusion. He seemed to have seen the corner of the suit inside the car by now.

As Xia Wanyuan got into the car, the driver very consciously pulled the partition.

"Why are you here?" Xia Wanyuan took the teacup from Jun Shiling and looked at him in surprise. 

“Didn't you say that you will be very busy today? Don't you have a meeting?”

"I saw you haven't come back and worried about you, so I came." Jun Shiling glanced at the small box and business card in Xia Wanyuan's hand. 

"Have you eaten well, Sister Wanyuan?"

As he took a sip of tea, he was choked by Jun Shiling's words.

“Ehem.” Xia Wanyuan swallowed his tea.

Jun Shiling patted Xia Wanyuan's back gently. 

“Why are you so restless? It's okay if someone else calls you, but I can't?”

Xia Wanyuan felt her ears heat up. It was because he felt nothing when others called his sister, but hearing Jun Shiling call his sister made him feel uneasy.

“According to seniority, I am indeed his little sister.”

“Oh, as far as I know, that person just now was the adopted son of the Wei family. He has nothing to do with blood. Why do you call him brother? I think he has other intentions. You have to be careful with him.”

"Jun Shiling." Xia Wanyuan laughed and inevitably stopped Jun Shiling from continuing.

"Yes," Jun Shiling placed the cup in Xia Wanyuan's hand and replied slowly.

"I think you're the one with the ulterior motive."

"I just want you, nothing else."

“…”

Xia Wanyuan felt that whenever she spoke to Jun Shiling recently, it would always end in her silence.

Seeing Xia Wanyuan ignore him, Jun Shiling said, "I'm so hungry."

"Don't tell me you haven't eaten yet?" Xia Wanyuan was shocked.

“I've been in meetings all the time. Then, I was worried about you, so I came straight here.”

“Then eat bread first. Eat more when you get back,” Xia Wanyuan said as she opened the storage room inside the car. Xia Wanyuan liked to eat snacks, and Jun Shiling often prepared them inside. As expected, Xia Wanyuan found milk and bread in it.

“I don't want to eat it.” Jun Shiling picked up the bread but did not move. Instead, he glanced at Xia Wanyuan faintly.

Xia Wanyuan was already too familiar with Jun Shiling's various actions recently. With one look, he knew that Jun Shiling wanted to tease him again. Xia Wanyuan turned her head and ignored her.

Jun Shiling rubbed his temples, his eyes filled with fatigue. Then, he breathed a little.

Xia Wanyuan glanced at him and felt sorry for him. After all, he knew how busy Jun Shiling was. He definitely did not lie, and he must have come to look for her after finishing his work. He said helplessly, "Then tell me, what should I do for you to eat?"

Xia Wanyuan felt that Jun Shiling was becoming increasingly like a child in front of him. He was actually like Xiao Bao, asking for comfort and persuasion.

"He just called you brother." Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan with deep eyes.

"Well, you can call me that too."

"No, I want to hear you call me Brother." Jun Shiling subconsciously approached Xia Wanyuan, his eyes smiling.
