The Daughter of the Enchanted in the Modern Age

Chapter 20

The lights make the house look as bright as daylight. Although the sky was filled with dark clouds, the people who ate in the house were not disturbed.

After eating, Xia Wanyuan held Xiao Bao's hand and stared at the heavy rain outside the door. She's speechless.

'Isn't the weather bright enough now?'

"Mom, you can sleep with us here today." Xiao Bao had always seen scenes of parents sleeping with their children in commercials or cartoons on television.

"..."

Xia Wanyuan was stunned by Xiao Bao's words.

"The storm must stop immediately. Didn't you say you'd show your Ultraman? Let's go and see."

When mentioning Ultraman, Xiao Bao jumped in excitement. He jumped up and grabbed Xia Wanyuan's hand, before running to the second floor.

Jun Shiling also heard what Xiao Bao said, but strangely, he did not feel disgusted. In the past, he didn't even want to see Xia Wanyuan.

"Uncle Wang, have someone prepare the guest room."

"Yes, Young Master."

The rain came very hard and lasted a long time. The sky slowly darkened, yet the rain still showed no signs of stopping.

"Miss Xia, the guest room is ready. Someone will bring clothes to the manor for you to change later. Since it's raining heavily outside, please stay here tonight."

Uncle Wang stood at the door and was surprised at how Little Master relied on Xia Wanyuan. There was never an outsider who spent the night in a manor, let alone a woman. Therefore, many things were not available and had to be sent from outside.

"Mom, let's sleep here. I'm not done with any of Ultraman's legs. Can you fix it with me tonight?"

During this period of time, Xiao Bao was obsessed with Lego. The Ultraman, who was half the height of a person, was only less than a foot to complete.

"Good."

Xia Wanyuan was about to finish filming the drama, and she also had no other business activities. Since both houses belonged to Jun Shiling, it did not matter where he lived.

"What did he say?"

Jun Shiling sat down on the lower floor, his firm side profile remaining expressionless.

"Miss Xia agrees."

Sensing Jun Shiling's change in attitude, not to mention the fact that a woman living in a manor had already become something extraordinary, everyone started treating Xia Wanyuan as the mistress of the future.

They sent a large plate of fruits to the mother and son, who were busy repairing Lego. Xia Wanyuan had never eaten most of the fruit on a plate in her two lifetimes.

He smiled at the servants and thanked them. The young lady who delivered the fruit was mesmerized by her smile. The future mistress had a good temperament and was extremely beautiful!

Downstairs, Jun Shiling was discussing the southern resort's development plans with several superiors in the company.

"Jun Shiling, where's my brother? Where'd he go?"

After eating and playing for a long time, Xia Wanyuan finally remembered her sister. He had yet to see Xia Yu and wondered how she was doing. Xia Wanyuan walked out of the room and called Jun Shiling, who was focused on her computer.

A clear and melodious female voice sounded from the video call. The video conference, which was filled with words and heated discussions, suddenly stopped.

????

At this moment, the people in the meeting room could not hide the shock in their eyes.

A lady?! At the Big Boss' house?! This was even more unbelievable than the bankruptcy of Jun Corporation!

After all, Jun Shiling was like a walking King of Hell. At one point, they thought Boss would be single for life, but now, there was actually a woman in the Boss' house.

In the blink of an eye, all kinds of thoughts appeared in everyone's mind. Only Lin Jing knew what was going on. He adjusted his glasses and revealed a mysterious smile.

"He's back at school. He should be back in two days."

He had thought Jun Shiling would immediately close the video call, but he acted as if nothing had happened.

Looking at Jun Shiling's expressionless face, everyone was sweating. Boss, how do you bring home that beauty with your cold face?

"Oh, okay." Xia Wanyuan turned around and left.

"Continue." Jun Shiling turned his gaze back to the meeting. Everyone had already adjusted their expressions to look very professional and serious, as if they were not the ones eavesdropping on their bosses.

"OK, according to the investment department report ..."

***

Shortly thereafter, clothes were delivered. After taking a shower, Xia Wanyuan felt exhausted from the several hours the flight had gone.

"Let's sleep."

"Mom, will we sleep with Dad?"

How difficult it was for Xiao Bao to remember about sleeping with his parents after playing with his toys for so long!

"Your father is not used to sleeping with other people." Xia Wanyuan could only use Jun Shiling as an excuse.

"That's not true. Mom, is our family incomplete?"

Xiao Bao lowered his head and there were tears in the corner of his eyes. What he said surprised Xia Wanyuan.

"Where did he hear these words?"

At the time, in a public service advertisement broadcast among the cartoons, the moon was shining brightly outside the window, and parents and children were sleeping soundly in the bed of the house.

"A complete family is the greatest care for a baby."

Xia Wanyuan looked at the advertising slogan speechlessly, while Xiao Bao pouted. The tears in her eyes made Xia Wanyuan's heart clench.

"I... am fine with that, but if your father doesn't agree, will we sleep in the guest room?"

Xia Wanyuan felt that Jun Shiling would definitely not agree, so she agreed to Xiao Bao's request.

"okay! I'm gonna go find Daddy!" Xiao Bao's mood finally changed for the better as he dashed down the stairs happily. Xia Wanyuan casually picked up the cherry on the table and put it in her mouth, thinking of how to comfort the little boy who would face rejection.

Moments later, footsteps could be heard from the door.

"Mom, I agree!" The happy voice of the little boy was heard.

"Huk, uhuk, uhhukk." Xia Wanyuan choked on that delicious fruit. How could Jun Shiling agree??

"Mom, let's go to bed." After obtaining the permission from Jun Shiling, Xiao Bao pulled Xia Wanyuan's hand and ran into the master bedroom, completely forgetting Jun Shiling's request to stay in the guest room.

The master bedroom is very large with large French windows. The heavy rain had left a series of marks on the glass windows. The decor in the room was very simple, and the dark gray style reflected the cool personality of the owner of the room.

Xiao Bao jumped onto the bed and waved at Xia Wanyuan.

"Mother, come here."

Xia Wanyuan was not worried about what Jun Shiling would do to her because people like her had the most unreachable arrogance.

In the past, when they were ambushed by enemy forces in the military camp, there were no tents or beds. Everyone sleeps on the ground.

At that time, there was no difference between a man and a woman. They were just comrades who had fought side by side. As a result, Xia Wanyuan only felt a little awkward and had no other thoughts.

"OKAY. Let's go to bed."

Xia Wanyuan stepped forward, lifted the blanket, and pulled the little boy into her arms. He gently hummed the new song he had been listening to for the past few days. But after half an hour, Xiao Bao's eyes were still wide open.

"Why haven't you slept?" Xia Wanyuan noticed the obvious fatigue in Xiao Bao's eyes.

"Why hasn't Dad come yet?" Xiao Bao insisted on sleeping with his parents.

"He must come soon." Xia Wanyuan could only comfort him.

Jun Shiling, who had been hesitating for a long time downstairs, did not know why he was softening his heart and approving of his crying son. Perhaps it was because he owed this child too much, and he could not bear to destroy the child's hopes.

Unexpectedly, when he gently pushed the door, two pairs of bright eyes on the bed looked towards him.

"Dad!" When Xiao Bao saw Jun Shiling, he immediately crawled out of bed. He thought that Jun Shiling had changed his mind.

Running, he held onto Jun Shiling's thigh tightly.

"Dad, you promised me."

"..."

Jun Shiling's expression darkened. He lifted Xiao Bao up from the ground and hugged him.

"Why are you running around on a cold floor?"

On the bed, Xia Wanyuan wore a silk dress that was sent from outside. She originally thought it was a very normal dress, but after Jun Shiling saw it, she felt uncomfortable for some reason.

Covering her shoulders with a blanket, Xia Wanyuan moved further, creating a large space on the bed.

Xiao Bao crawled into Xia Wanyuan's embrace, but he did not let go of Jun Shiling's arm.

"Let go, I'll change." Jun Shiling gestured for Xiao Bao to release his hand.

Only then did Xiao Bao reluctantly let go. When Jun Shiling came out of the bathroom, Xiao Bao was still waiting with his eyes wide open, while Xia Wanyuan had already closed her eyes.

"Dad, come here."

Lowering his voice, Xiao Bao waved at Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling lifted the blanket and lay down. Inside the blanket feels warm. Xiao Bao held Xia Wanyuan with one hand and Jun Shiling with the other, finally closing his eyes in satisfaction.

As the people in the room gradually fall asleep, the lights in the room automatically adjust to sleep mode, leaving only dim light.

The turbulence hidden under the bright light spread nonstop in the darkness.

The place where Jun Shiling was sleeping was where Xia Wanyuan lay before. A fragrant aroma wafted from the pillow and lingered at Jun Shiling's nose tip, interrupting his sleep for a long time.

The breathing of those around him gradually calmed down. Jun Shiling looked over a little. Xiao Bao had already let go of Jun Shiling's hand as he fell into a deep sleep and completely rolled into Xia Wanyuan's embrace.

Therefore, when Jun Shiling turned his head, what he saw was Xia Wanyuan's face hidden in the darkness. The dark light carefully elaborated his silhouette, adding a deeper charm to it.

Jun Shiling silently watched Xia Wanyuan for a while, then looked at his son buried under the covers. He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

The rain outside the house gradually stopped, and a light drizzle dripped from the French window. The warmth in the house spread and beautiful dreams surrounded the people inside.

***

The next morning, sunlight came in through the window after the rain, bouncing onto the bed. When Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes, Jun Shiling was nowhere to be seen.

Xiao Bao was still sleeping in his arms. Xia Wanyuan glanced at that time. Seeing that Xiao Bao could continue sleeping for another hour, he reduced his movements and got out of bed.

When he opened the door, the servants were already waiting at the door.

There are more than ten sets of accessories, clothing, jackets, and shoes.

"Miss Xia, please choose your clothes."

"..."

For a moment, Xia Wanyuan felt like she had returned to her previous life where she was served by everyone as the Eldest Princess.

"Let's go with this."

Xia Wanyuan pointed her finger randomly. The waiters then took her to the dressing room.

Xia Wanyuan chose a simple set of home clothes. The soft apricot-colored wool off-shoulder shirt shows off its beautiful collarbone.

After about ten minutes, Xia Wanyuan freshened up and went down. Jun Shiling was sitting at the dining table over breakfast. He always went to the office early, so he always had breakfast early.

Sitting at the dining table against the light, the sun shined down on Jun Shiling from behind. Jun Shiling, who was wearing a white shirt, heard Xia Wanyuan go down the stairs. When he looked up, he looked like a gentleman.

"Good morning." Xia Wanyuan nodded. Jun Shiling nodded and lowered his head.

"Miss Xia, Little Master is still sleeping. Why don't you eat first? There's enough food in the kitchen."

Uncle Wang watched as Xia Wanyuan walked out of the master bedroom. The way he looked at Xia Wanyuan became increasingly strange, and his attitude towards her also increased.

"I'll eat with Xiao Bao later. I'll go for a walk first."

"Understood."

After the rain, the sky looked bright and blue like the sea. Inhaling the moist air deeply will make a person feel refreshed. In the courtyard, droplets of dew hung on the grass strands, each shining in the sunlight.

An unknown blue flower spread across the grass like a star. White magnolias, red roses, pink peaches, all blooming into a sea of bright flowers.

After a rainy night, a large number of petals were swept to the ground, leaving behind a path of flowers. The limestone road has become a flower road.

Meanwhile, the flowers that were still standing upright on the branches of the tree in the midst of the heavy rain had water droplets on them. The petals were fresh and soft, while the water droplets were sparkling. A light breeze blew past, which carried the fragrance of the flowers away and created a rain of petals.

In the sea of flowers, her petals fell down one after another. Water droplets in the trees reflect a glittering light in the sun. Xia Wanyuan, who was looking at the flowers, was as beautiful as a fairy. For a moment, it was hard to tell whether she was prettier or the flowers were more beautiful.

As the car drove towards the entrance, Jun Shiling sat in the car and looked at this scene. His deep eyes narrowed like a wolf that finally found its prey.

Manor Jun was indeed very big. After walking in the park for some time, Xia Wanyuan still had not seen the end of it. Looking at the time, it was time for Xiao Bao to wake up, so Xia Wanyuan followed the same path back.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw her little dumplings running down the stairs.

"Mom, I think you're leaving!"

Xiao Bao hugged Xia Wanyuan in panic.

"Mother is not going. I just saw the flowers outside. Look," Xia Wanyuan said as she placed the magnolia in Xiao Bao's small hand. There's a little dew on the white petals.

"That's pretty! Mom, let's eat. I'm hungry." After he knew that Xia Wanyuan had not left him, Xiao Bao was truly relieved.

After breakfast, the driver sent Xiao Bao to school. Xia Wanyuan sat on the sofa and called Xia Yu.

During this period of time, Xia Yu, who did not want to stay in the Jun family or return to the Xia family, returned to the school dormitory for the first time and spent several days peacefully.

"Who is this???"

Although Xia Yu was a demon on the outside, the temperament of the youth could be seen within her as she returned to the dormitory where a group of innocent friends lived.

Soon, he actually became one with the people in the dorm. Last night, he played a game with his roommate until two or three in the dark with his crippled arm. She was so unhappy that she was suddenly awakened by a ringing phone.

He ended the call subconsciously, but who would have thought that the phone would ring constantly? Everyone in the dorm woke up.

Xia Yu pressed the answer button hard and sounded very impatient.

"Xia Yu, you haven't woken up?" The soft voice on the other end of the phone made Xia Yu lose her drowsiness and her impatience disappeared.

"I'm up and having breakfast now." Little Young Master Xia lied without thinking.

"Oh, then wait for me in the apartment in half an hour. I'm back."

?!!

"Half hours?!" Xia Yu was completely awake now.

"What's wrong? Didn't you have breakfast? I'll give you ten minutes for breakfast. It only takes fifteen minutes from your school to your apartment. Half an hour is enough."

Xia Wanyuan hung up the phone after speaking.

On the other end of the phone, Xia Yu directly jumped out of bed.
