The Daughter of the Enchanted in the Modern Age

Chapter 246

When Jun Shiling arrived at the airport, he had yet to see Xia Wanyuan when the person in charge of Jiangnan learned of the news. 

He waited at the airport to invite her away. Jun Shiling sent Xia Wanyuan a message and left to finish his work first.

The moment Shen Qian landed, she brought the items to Xia Wanyuan's hotel.

“CEO Xia, I happened to come and bring the first sample. Look." Look." Shen Qian opened the box on the table. 

Two green cups were lying on the soft box. The cup was printed with some green bamboo Xia Wanyuan had drawn.

Xia Wanyuan grabbed the kettle and poured water into it. The steam rising in the bamboo forest was like mist encircling the bamboo forest in the morning, making it extremely beautiful. Xia Wanyuan nodded in satisfaction.

“Old Master Liu's standard is still very high. Let's do it like this.”

"OK, CEO Xia, what else do you need me to do?" Shen Qian knew that Xia Wanyuan would not let him come specially for this set of glasses.

“There is Jin Xiu store here. Go and buy it. One should not be enough. According to their standards, we want about ten embroidery workshop.”

"okay." Shen Qian was very confident with Xia Wanyuan right now.

Shen Qian put down his things and brought the people from the Jiangnan branch to discuss the acquisition. 

Xia Wanyuan looked at her phone. 

There was a message from Jun Shiling.

The rain in Jiangnan did not immediately stop like in the north. The rain here is continuous and it never seems to stop.

Xia Wanyuan checked the address Jun Shiling had sent her. It was not far away, so he walked by the umbrella and admired the view of the ancient city.

After turning the corner, Xia Wanyuan suddenly became interested in a very elegant shop.

The store specializes in retro style. The long dress caught Xia Wanyuan's attention.

Because the price was so high, very few people came to this store usually. When the seller saw Xia Wanyuan's clothes, he knew that a large customer had arrived and hurriedly welcomed her.

”The clothes here are all custom made from Jiangnan embroidery workshop. Each piece is a unique design. See, which one do you like?”

Xia Wanyuan looked around and pointed to the light green dress hanging on the very inside.

The seller's eyes sparkled. “Rui Cao Yun Yan, this Twin Silk Garment is a treasure from our store. You have good taste. I'll get it for you soon!”

In the large fitting room, the shop assistant helped Xia Wanyuan put on her clothes.

“Let me help you tie your hair into a simple bun. The effect will be better.” The seller took out a jade hairpin from the front desk and simply tied Xia Wanyuan's hair.

"You're really too pretty." After fixing her hair and changing her clothes, the seller who had seen many beautiful women was stunned.

Xia Wanyuan looked at herself in the mirror. "I'll get this one."

"okay! The clothes in our shop will be cleaned daily. You can wear it and go.” The sales assistant opens the ticket with pleasure. After this job, he would have half a year of sales.

Xia Wanyuan looked at the white wall and the green tiles outside. 

"I'll put it on and go."

"Okay, this jade hairpin is a gift to you." The staff enthusiastically packed the items for Xia Wanyuan and respectfully sent them to the door.

This city was originally an ancient city. Usually, there are many people who wear old fashioned clothes to take photos. 

Xia Wanyuan was wearing a long dress, so no one was surprised. However, the way she held an umbrella and walked in the rain in a long dress was truly heartwarming.

He saw the scene while the others looked at him. A lot of people who take pictures of the scenery here catch it with cameras.

As he looked at the surrounding scenery, he subconsciously walked to the place Jun Shiling had given him.

This is a very simple and beautiful little page. The plaque on the door had the words "Garden Xi" written on it.

The waiter who had long received the notice was long waiting at the door. When he saw the beautiful figure slowly walking over, he hurriedly stepped forward. 

"Excuse me, are you Xia Wanyuan?"

“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan nodded.

"Hello mistress. Young Master has instructed us to bring you in first.”

With that, the maid took the items from Xia Wanyuan and brought them in. The courtyard was much larger than Xia Wanyuan had imagined. There were pavilions, mountains, and lakes. Birds and storks fly everywhere.

“I'll take a walk myself. You don't need to follow me.” Xia Wanyuan wanted to see herself.

"Okay, Madam, you can contact us if you have any questions."

After the maid left, Xia Wanyuan walked alone around the courtyard. 

It was mid-summer, and lotus blossoms. The lotus flowers that filled the lake, coupled with pavilions and those decorated with carvings, reminded Xia Wanyuan of the princess palace in her youth.

However, the Great Xia Dynasty was not so gloomy and rainy. 

The Great Xia Dynasty was always bright.

When he was young, he loved to play and throw tantrums. Once upon a time he secretly took out a wooden basin to wash his face and threw it into the lotus pond. 

Then, he sat down on the wooden basin and propped himself up with a lotus leaf pole to pluck the lotus flowers in the lotus pond.

The servants in the palace could not find him and were almost scared to death. 

Even his parents, who were in the middle of the meeting, were shocked. The entire palace was deployed to look for him, but they were unable to find him for a long time.

In the end, his royal grandfather, who knew him best, told the guards to descend into the lotus pond. In the middle of the lake, he found her, who was lost and crying.

His father was very angry and wanted to beat him up to teach him a lesson. However, he was shouted back by his grandfather.

“If you dare to hit my precious granddaughter, I will hit you!!”

When she was frightened, the little princess cried sadly. In the end, his mother slept with him for over half a month. Only when the statue of Buddha, whose father had found someone to be blessed from the western region, was placed beside his bed did he slowly become calm.

Meanwhile, his father, who had been clamoring to beat him up and teach him a lesson, wanted to send all the treasures in the world to him to make him happy when he saw him frowning.

Perhaps it was because the continuous drizzling rain easily aroused emotional emotions, but even Xia Wanyuan did not know that the laughter of her youth was actually so deep imprinted in her mind. 

It was so deep that when he thought about it now, even though it was a lifetime ago, it could not hide the bitterness in his heart.

Jun Shiling quickly resolved his problem and rushed to Xi Garden. 

From afar, he saw a light green mist in the pavilion. Even though his back was facing him, Jun Shiling felt a strong sense of sadness.

Furthermore, he felt that something was wrong with Xia Wanyuan. He did not know if it was due to the ancient costume or the misty rain, but it made Jun Shiling have the illusion that Xia Wanyuan did not belong to this world.

Jun Shiling stepped into the pavilion. 

Xia Wanyuan seemed to be immersed in her own world and paid no attention to it.

Jun Shiling walked over to Xia Wanyuan and saw that his eyes were red and filled with tears. 

Jun Shiling suddenly clenched his fists, feeling as if a huge rock had smashed into his heart, causing him pain.

It was then that Xia Wanyuan realized Jun Shiling was around. He looked at her, and the vulnerability in his eyes broke Jun Shiling's heart.

Jun Shiling took off his suit and covered Xia Wanyuan with it. The smell of pine immediately surrounded him with warmth. Memories from his previous life gradually fell into the depths of his mind in this warmth.

Jun Shiling did not ask much and raised him at the waist. 

“You must have waited a long time. Let's go and eat.” His voice is very soft.

Xia Wanyuan found a warm position on Jun Shiling's arm and leaned against him, letting him carry her through the corridor.

The servants did not far widen their eyes when they saw this sight. They really had no idea that Mr. Jun, who usually did not look friendly, was actually very kind to Madam.

When they arrived at the dining room, Jun Shiling did not take Xia Wanyuan down. Instead, he fed spoon by spoon.

“I'm full.” Xia Wanyuan's mood was not good and could not eat much. After half a bowl, he felt full.

“Mm.” Jun Shiling did not force her to eat anymore. He picked up the bowl and quickly ate a bowl of rice himself.

“I want to go for a walk.” After dinner, Xia Wanyuan came out of Jun Shiling's embrace and wanted to take a walk.

"Do you want me to accompany you?"

"Not needed." Xia Wanyuan wanted to stay alone for a while.

"okay."

Xia Wanyuan was still returning to where she had just sat. He looked at the lotus flower in the pond, thinking of something. 

Jun Shiling stood by the window and looked at the figure with a cold expression.

After an unknown period of time, the moon slowly rose to the top of the tree. Only then did a figure like the statue of Xia Wanyuan move. When he turned his head, he saw a figure standing by the window under the light melting in the distance.

A layer of warmth appeared in Xia Wanyuan's eyes as she walked into the house.

"I'm going to take a shower."

"okay."

By the time Xia Wanyuan took a bath, it was already an hour and a half later. Jun Shiling had already taken a bath and was leaning on the head of the bed reading the book Xia Wanyuan had written.

The door opened and locked. 

Hearing the click, Jun Shiling looked up and saw that the book in his hand had a fold.

At the shop, where Xia Wanyuan bought the dress on that day, the shopkeeper not only gave her a jade hairpin, but also a set of silk pajamas. A thin layer of silk could only cover it roughly, making it look hazy and mysterious.

The orchid in her dress was as white as snow, but it could not compare to the jade-white skin under the silk veil.

Xia Wanyuan walked towards Jun Shiling barefoot.

When Xia Wanyuan was nervous, she had a habit of biting her lower lip. At that moment, Xia Wanyuan, who was walking step by step, bit her lower lip. Jun Shiling's breathing instantly became heavy.

Jun Shiling placed the book in his hand beside the closet, but he did not move. He simply looked at Xia Wanyuan calmly.

Xia Wanyuan walked to the bed and lowered her head to lift Jun Shiling's blanket, but Jun Shiling grabbed her wrist.

“Your place is inside.” Jun Shiling's voice was extremely low with a clear hoarse voice.

From where Jun Shiling was holding her, Xia Wanyuan looked heated up. His entire body was covered in a faint pink color.

Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling. His eyes, which were usually covered in ice and snow, were now bright and a little embarrassed.

Xia Wanyuan moved her wrist and insisted on lifting Jun Shiling's blanket. Then, he lay down on his arm and hugged his waist. 

Jun Shiling suddenly froze.

"Are you ready?" Jun Shiling's depressed voice sounded above his head.

Xia Wanyuan hugged her even tighter. 

“Mm.”

Jun Shiling could not take it anymore.
