The Daughter of the Enchanted in the Modern Age

Chapter 217

Seeing Xia Wanyuan like this, Madam York's impression of her grew even worse.

And Jun Shiling actually had no opinion on his unruly behavior.

Madam York frowned a little. 

After all, he was a young man. Even someone as incredible as Jun Shiling could not resist the temptation of a young and beautiful woman.

"I want to drink water." Xia Wanyuan ate half a glass of ice cream and felt her throat slightly dry.

"I will pour it for you," Jun Shiling said as he walked into the house to pour water for Xia Wanyuan.

After maintaining the etiquette of a Duchess for so many years, Mistress York already disliked Xia Wanyuan greatly, but she only frowned slightly.

After being in England for so many years, Madam York, who was used to living there, and she considered etiquette more important than anything else, so she did not want to eat with chopsticks anymore. 

Therefore, Old Master Jun specially prepared a separate western meal for his sister.

There are many Sichuan dishes on the table. Xia Wanyuan tried to eat some mouthfuls of Spicy Boiled Fish. It was so spicy that his face was covered in a thin layer of sweat.

Jun Shiling dipped his handkerchief in ice water and carefully wiped his face. Xia Wanyuan seemed to have gotten used to Jun Shiling's actions and ate herself.

Old Master Jun's gaze surrounded Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan, and he couldn't help but smile. From the looks of it, their relationship is getting better.

It was probably not far from the day he would show off in front of his old comrades, holding hands with a great-grandson.

Unlike Old Master, Madam York saw Xia Wanyuan's sweaty face and felt even more contemptuous. She is an actress who cannot be taught. How could the wife of the Jun family head become such a woman?

After dinner, Jun Shiling had not come to Old Master for a long time. The Old Master had something to tell him himself, so his grandfather and granddaughter stayed in the study.

Old masters like to keep flowers, birds and insects in the backyard. Uncle Liu was very happy to catch fish with Xiao Bao in the backyard.

Xia Wanyuan ate a little spicy during the day and her stomach felt a little uneasy, so she did not accompany Xiao Bao. Instead, she took off her shoes and leaned against the sofa to digest her food.

“Which school did you graduate from? What majors did you major in?” Madam York took her beautiful steps and sat across from Xia Wanyuan. 

His sitting posture was so standard that it was as if he was being held by a ruler.

Be it the corner of her foot, the way she folded her hands, or the size of her chair, they undoubtedly showed the etiquette of the British royal family and showed her status as Duchess.

“University XX, history majors,” Xia Wanyuan replied according to the educational background of the original owner.

Madam York searched in her mind for the 100 best schools in the world and realized that there was no school as Xia Wanyuan mentioned. What history major? What's the point of studying this?

"It's not convenient for my brother to say a few things, but I have to remind you." The York Mistress looked at Xia Wanyuan leisurely leaning against the sofa, and her brows furrowed even tighter. 

“Do not think of things you do not deserve.”

The corner of Xia Wanyuan's lips curved slightly as she glanced at Madam York, who was sitting upright. 

“Then I also want to tell you something.”

"Please talk."

"A true noble doesn't need to be adorned with etiquette, Miss York."

Xia Wanyuan smiled. 

Even though he lay leisurely on the sofa, he could not hide his noble aura.

It was a noble lineage that came from bones. It was an arrogance forged by years of reigning and receiving the worship of people. It was an aura that made people submit from the inside out.

Madam York originally wanted to reply to Xia Wanyuan's words, but she did not expect to be so shocked by Xia Wanyuan's aura that she forgot what she wanted to say.

By the time she reacted, Xia Wanyuan had already turned her head and was reading the book in her hands.

"You're bluffing." 

Mistress York was initially confused that Xia Wanyuan had such a powerful aura, but upon second thought, she heard that this person was an actor and her acting skills did not seem to be bad.

Xia Wanyuan ignored Madam York, and Madam York did not speak to her anymore.

More than an hour later, Jun Shiling and Old Master finally walked out of the study.

“Have a long wait?” The moment Jun Shiling came out, he directly came to Xia Wanyuan.

"Not really."

“Do you still feel uncomfortable?” Jun Shiling helped Xia Wanyuan stand up and asked anxiously.

“Mm, I think I ate too much spicy food for lunch.” Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly, her stomach felt a little uncomfortable.

"Then, tell Grandpa that we'll be back early," Jun Shiling said and went to look for Old Master.

Originally, the old master wanted to let Xiao Bao stay, but Madam York thought the hotel was too dirty and wanted to stay in the courtyard. 

Jun Shiling was afraid that Xiao Bao would disturb the two elders, so he brought Xiao Bao back to the palace.

“Bu, look how arrogant Bo Xiao is. This was not even his fiftieth birthday, and he held a big event as if he was afraid that others would not know that he had returned to Beijing. Dad is the same. He really let her do whatever she wanted.” 

Bo Yi was very unhappy when he saw the house so beautifully decorated to celebrate Bo Xiao's birthday.

"What are you afraid of? That Bo Xiao had not returned to Beijing for many years. How many people do you think will be coming for his birthday? If he makes it so magnificent, I'm afraid it will be a joke.” Mo Ling smiled coldly. 

In a wealthy family, Bo Xiao was just a young master who had no presence. Who would waste time attending his banquet?

Bo Yi counted. 

Bo Xiao really did not have many friends. 

The only classmate he had was recruited by Bo Yi as his friend after Bo Xiao left the country.

Ever since he remembered, Bo Yi had secretly seen Bo Xiao have so many things that he did not have. 

Therefore, ever since he was young, he had sworn in his heart that he would snatch away everything about Bo Xiao, including his friends.

Bo Yi called classmate Bo Xiao and was confused when he found out that they did not accept the invitation. 

If he had not invited these people, how could Bo Xiao have any other friends?

Since Bo Yi had spoken, the others of course agreed.

Not long after Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan left, Madam York received a video call.

After teasing the bird, the old master returned to his room and saw his sister talking to the person on the phone with a smile.

"Ruth, call him Great-grandfather." Madam York pointed the camera at Old Master. In the video is a very pretty Chinese face, but there is an exotic look in her eyes.

"Hello, Grandpa great-grandfather." The woman in the video was very polite. He even stood up and bowed to the old master.

"Hello this?"

"This is my nephew, Li Qingxue." Madam York paused for a moment and added,

“He's from my husband's lineage. She has no blood relation to me and she is a girl raised by an artistic family. His father was Li Jia, a Chinese businessman who had just been awarded the title of duke by the British royal family.”

“Very amazing girl.” The Old Master nodded.

"Great-grandfather, you're too good." Although Li Qingxue grew up in England, she has accepted the nurturing of Chinese culture. By the way, she is not inferior to the daughter of a wealthy family in China.

“You chat. I'll go to the backyard to see it.” The Old Master was worried about the fish in his backyard and hurriedly wanted to go to the backyard.

After the Old Master left, Madam York asked Li Qingxue about her studies. Seeing that Li Qingxue was hesitating, Madam York understood.

“I've seen my granddaughter. It's been years since we last met, and he has indeed grown into a very extraordinary person. No wonder you can remember it from many years ago.”

Li Qingxue lowered her head, her eyes filled with shame.

Li Qingxue came from a prestigious family and she was a student from a reputable school. He is amazing in all aspects. Furthermore, the Li family and the York family had a close relationship. Madam York had long wanted Jun Shiling and Li Qingxue to be together.

If they can recruit Jun Shiling, the York family can do whatever they want in the world.

It's been years since he returned to China. Ever since she became Duchess, she had been too busy to leave. This time, he returned to celebrate Old Master's seventy birthday. 

One was to meet his brother, whom he hadn't seen in years, and the other would come back and visit this wonderful grandson of a boy.

“Grandma, I'll be graduating soon. I want to send you a resume and internship at Jun Corporation. What say?"

"With an amazing resume, there's definitely no problem." Seeing Li Qingxue's hopeful face, Madam York did not want to break her spirit.

Thinking of Xia Wanyuan, Madam York frowned slightly. 

However, she was ultimately an actress that could not be showcased. The Jun Family would definitely not marry such a woman. 

As for the child, Madam York thought that she would tell Li Qingxue about it when she found the right opportunity.

As long as she had the status of the Jun Family Mistress, Li Qingxue's children in the future would become the most respected in the Jun family. It's okay to raise another child.

When she married the Duke of York, she had children of her own. Didn't his son inherit the title?

With Madam York's guarantee, Li Qingxue felt relieved and sent the resume of the application to Jun Corporation.

When Jun Shiling and his family returned to the manor, Xiao Bao received all sorts of classes and training as usual. He followed the teacher with a bitter expression.

"Uncle Wang, call Shen Xiu." Seeing Xia Wanyuan's face a little pale, Jun Shiling was worried and wanted Shen Xiu to come and check on her.

“Other times you can't eat that much chili.” Jun Shiling poured a glass of water for Xia Wanyuan and fed her.

“You won't even let me eat at the manor, but you won't let me eat at Grandpa's?” house Although her stomach felt a little uncomfortable, Xia Wanyuan felt that the spicy boiled fish tasted really good. 

She even wanted to eat again at night, but seeing Jun Shiling's expression, Xia Wanyuan knew that this was a delusion.

“I will feel uncomfortable with you even after eating.” Jun Shiling gently tapped Xia Wanyuan's forehead, his eyes filled with helplessness.

Not long after, Shen Xiu came and checked.

“There is nothing wrong with Madam. This was mainly because he had not touched spicy food for a long time. His stomach reacted slightly when he suddenly ate a food that was too spicy. Drink plenty of warm water and do not eat spicy food for a while. He will be fine soon.”

“Did you hear that? You can't eat spicy food anymore.” Jun Shiling pinched Xia Wanyuan's hand and looked at her with an indulgent look.

Shen Xiu secretly glanced at the two of them, who exuded a sweet aura.

Thinking of how her sister, who had overturned heaven, would nag her every day, 'Will my husband be tempted by that little vixen if he shot with Xia Wanyuan every day?'

'If Xia Wanyuan dares to covet my husband, I will definitely defile him.' Shen Xiu wanted to operate on his sister's brain.

Seeing how CEO Jun treated her so well, how could Xia Wanyuan seduce Yan Ci?

Shen Xiu was young, but as the chief surgeon of the hospital, he was very busy every day. After confirming that Xia Wanyuan was fine, Shen Xiu left.

Jun Shiling picked her up and walked into the bedroom upstairs. 

“Brease well. You must attend Bo Xiao's birthday party tomorrow.”

However, Xia Wanyuan had no intention of releasing Jun Shiling. He hugged Jun Shiling's neck and did not let go.

"What's wrong?" Jun Shiling lowered his head and kissed her cheek.

“Company me.” Xia Wanyuan had gotten closer to Jun Shiling recently. Since her stomach ached today, Xia Wanyuan did not want to stay alone anymore.

"OK okay okay. I'll sleep with you.” Jun Shiling gently stroked Xia Wanyuan's hair, his eyes filled with smiles.

She did not think that it was a bad thing for Xia Wanyuan to stick to her at all. Instead, the more Xia Wanyuan clung to her, the happier she was.

After speaking, Jun Shiling climbed onto the bed, hugged her, and gently patted her on the back as she slowly told her story.

***

Although Bo Qing had suggested to arrange Bo Xiao's birthday party at the hotel, Bo Xiao refused. With the support of Old Master Bo, the entire Bo family had been decorated and filled with the aura of a banquet.
