The Daughter of the Enchanted in the Modern Age

Chapter 26

The person in charge of the Jun family seemed to possess boundless glory and strength, but standing at such a high position, he would definitely have to endure endless pressure.

If the ruling one made the slightest mistake, it would have an irreversible impact on such a large company.

After quickly reviewing three proposals that were almost 50 pages long, Jun Shiling stood up and looked at the stars outside the window.

Xia Wanyuan walked to the door and knocked when she saw the light coming from the study.

"Please come in." Jun Shiling continued to look out the window and did not turn around.

Xia Wanyuan opened the door. "Are you going to be done soon? Xiao Bao is waiting for you to sleep."

He thought it was Uncle Wang, but a clear female voice came from the door.

Jun Shiling turned around and saw Xia Wanyuan, who was wearing a flowery nightgown, standing at the door. She did not wear any makeup, but it made her look even prettier. He was like a pure lotus, calming one's chaotic emotions.

"I'll finish it now."

Xia Wanyuan covered herself with her jacket and walked towards the bedroom while Jun Shiling followed behind.

In the bedroom, Xiao Bao was so tired that he could barely open his eyes. When he saw Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling enter, he smiled.

"Go to sleep."

Xia Wanyuan climbed onto the bed and pulled Xiao Bao into his arms. Similar to the previous time, Jun Shiling went to the bathroom to change his pajamas and lay down on the other side of the bed.

Sensing the presence of his father and mother around him, Xiao Bao fell into a deep sleep within half a minute.

Xia Wanyuan lowered her head to look at Xiao Bao, whose eyes were closed and her long eyelashes were covered. When he looked up, he met Jun Shiling's gaze. He would check on Xiao Bao as well.

Jun Shiling's deep eyes were like an ancient well, making it impossible to see through his emotions. However, Xia Wanyuan seemed to be burning by this gaze. His face showed discomfort, and he averted his gaze awkwardly. Closing his eyes again, he prepared to go to sleep.

At the same time, Jun Shiling, who wanted to examine Xiao Bao, suddenly met a pair of clear and bright eyes like the eyes of a forest deer. It was as if his eyes were filled with dew at night, a bright moon in the sky, and filled with everyone's dreams.

Jun Shiling felt that coolness had calmed his heart. But very quickly, he felt Xia Wanyuan's discomfort and withdrew his gaze. At the same time, he moved closer to the bed, trying to distance himself from Xia Wanyuan.

Fortunately, they were in a specially made luxurious bed. There was more than enough room for three people.

**

The next morning, when Xia Wanyuan woke up, Jun Shiling had already left.

Since there were still some scenes to shoot "The Long Ballad", Xia Wanyuan had to go to Beijing Film City for a few days.

When Chen Yun received the message from Xia Wanyuan, he rushed to pick her up to the production team.

Chen Yun remained silent as he watched Xia Wanyuan walk out of the manor. He only spoke when Xia Wanyuan approached him.

"Xia Wanyuan, tell me honestly. Is your family rich again? This is actually the house your family bought, right?"

"Of course not. If I am very rich, do I need to act as the second female lead?" Xia Wanyuan felt a little speechless at Chen Yun's imagination.

"That's right." Chen Yun scratched his head.

"But don't you live here now?"

"It's just a friend's house. I'm just staying here for a while." Xia Wanyuan did not want to talk about her relationship with Jun Shiling.

"Oh, then your friend is pretty good."

"Yes." Yeah."

When they arrived on set, everyone greeted Xia Wanyuan upon seeing her. Compared to when he first joined the production team, the majority of the cast and crew now looked at Xia Wanyuan very differently.

Originally, everyone was only biased towards Xia Wanyuan because they had heard that she had a bad temper.

But in reality, Xia Wanyuan was not only beautiful, but her emotions were not as bad as the rumors that circulated. On the contrary, other than not taking the initiative to interact with others, he could be considered approachable.

She did not complain of being tired during filming, and had high standards for herself. Moreover, in their eyes, her acting ability was not as bad as the rumors had said.

"Xiao Xia, come here."

Director Yang waved at Xia Wanyuan upon his arrival.

"What's up, Director?" Xia Wanyuan thought something was wrong with her scene, so she rushed over to Director Yang.

"This is the problem. Didn't you draw on the lantern paper earlier? I took her home and my daughter's classmates came to visit and saw her by chance. He said he really liked your painting and wanted to get to know you. I'd like to know if you'd be willing to give me your contact information on him?"

Li Nian had asked Yang Hui about it and Director Yang promised him that he would pass on Li Nian's words to the owner of the painting after he could no longer bear being pestered by his daughter.

"Yes, it doesn't matter, Director Yang." In fact, in the eyes of the teachers in his previous life, Xia Wanyuan's painting could only be considered as having just passed. Therefore, Xia Wanyuan had never felt his painting as great as it was.

He was quite happy because he had not expected that there would be a young man in this era who liked his paintings.

Not far from there, Ruan Yingyu was enraged as she watched the film crew express their goodwill towards Xia Wanyuan.

It was unexpected that he even bought afternoon tea for those people. It was as if he had fed the dogs! Why didn't he see them behaving so enthusiastically when he came back?

"The first scene today was between Xiao Xia and Xiao Ruan. You two should prepare properly. "

After reviewing the schedule, Director Yang instructed everyone on how to proceed.

To investigate the mystery of his birth, Lin Xiao brought his sister, Tian Ying Er, to the general's residence.

The former Heavenly Spirit Princess, now the most favored concubine in the general's residence, Shen Pei, greeted her with a face full of smiles. His every frown and smile had captivated the general to no end.

"I'm Lin Xiao. I'm here to pay my respects to the Great General. "

The dancers and singers disperse, and two people who look like an immortal couple appear. The young man brought his innocent and kind-hearted sister into the luxurious hall in high spirits.

When she heard the familiar clear voice, the pampered concubine, who had originally behaved so arrogantly because she had the general's love, was actually panicking. His first reaction was to raise his sleeves to cover himself.

"My dear, what's wrong?"

Forcing himself to lower his sleeves, Shen Pei forced a smile as the general noticed his abnormality.

"General, I'm fine. I just have a headache."

However, his hands clenched tightly under his long sleeves. In a close-up shot, his long nails were even embedded in his flesh.

In the hall, Lin Xiao greeted the general. His actions were filled with youthfulness, causing the others in the hall to cry out nonstop.

Shen Pei looked at the young man standing in the hall sadly. When Lin Xiao glanced at him unintentionally, he even lowered his gaze politely.

The banquet was not over yet, but the lively and active little sister could not help but run to the park to watch the fireworks. Shen Pei also found an excuse to leave the room.

The pure and innocent Tian Ying Er watched the fireworks by the lake and was extremely excited. His eyes had a purity that only a well-protected person possessed.

Instead, Shen Pei wore colorful dresses and dazzling jewelry. However, he looked at the woman in simple clothes in front of him with envy.

"Brother Lin has his own important affairs to attend to. If you follow him like this, you will become a burden to him."

Tian Ying Er's eyes were filled with obvious shock when someone suddenly cut her off and even mentioned "Brother Lin".

"What's your relationship with Senior?" Tian Ying Er looked at the woman in luxurious clothes with hostility.

"What relationship I have with Brother Lin has nothing to do with you." Hearing Tian Ying Er call him 'Senior', Shen Pei looked even more lonely. He looked at Tian Ying Er with a strange sense of inferiority and pride before turning to leave. "In short, you've always been a burden to Brother Lin."

"What aye! One take is enough! Get ready for the next scene."

Needless to say, Xia Wanyuan's performance was flawless, and Qin Wu was a talented actor. Although Ruan Yingyu was a little immature compared to them, she was still considered one of the more talented young actresses in the new generation. Therefore, Director Yang was very satisfied.

Lin Xiao, who had been living in the general's residence for a few days, gradually found the important mementos his parents had left there. The memories were kept in the secret room of the general's residence.

In the dark General's residence, two ghostly figures slowly crept into the study. Lin Xiao activated the secret switch in the study room and the bookshelf slowly moved away.

"Sister, wait for me here. Let me know if anything happens."

"Yes, Senior."

Tian Ying Er watched as Lin Xiao entered the secret passageway nervously as she paced back and forth in the study.

Suddenly, a cat meowed outside the window. Tian Ying Er, who was already in a mess, jumped in shock and dropped the vase on the table. The sound of porcelain breaking like a high-pitched siren on a silent night.

The guard outside quickly reacted and kicked at the door of the study. When he saw Tian Ying Er inside, he immediately lunged forward with his sword.

However, before the guard sword could reach Tian Ying Er, it was deflected by a hidden weapon. Lin Xiao, who had come out of the secret room at some point, grabbed the frightened Tian Ying Er and ran out the window.

"Catch 'em!"

All the guards in the general's residence gathered and searched one room after another. Upon seeing that they would find them in the wooden warehouse, Tian Ying Er was so frightened that her eyes were covered in tears.

At that moment, footsteps came from the door. Lin Xiao gripped the hilt of his sword tightly and stared at the door warily.

The door was pushed open and Lin Xiao, who was hiding behind the door, had pressed his sword blade into the person's throat.

"Sister Lin, don't be afraid. I'm here to save you."

Lin Xiao heard a familiar voice and turned his face. That person had beautiful eyebrows and reddish lips. Through the dim light outside, Shen Pei, who had cleaned up her thick makeup, reminded Lin Xiao of the beautiful woman under the lantern she had met three years ago.

"That's you? Miss, why are you here? "

Lin Xiao did not realize that she was the General's favorite concubine. Shen Pei was relieved.

"Don't ask too many questions. I'll go out and lure them away. There's a hidden path to the right of the wooden shed, you can go from there later."

"Miss, why are you helping us?" Lin Xiao slowly pulled the sword he was holding in Shen Pei's throat.

"Treat that as I return the favor."

Shen Pei looked deeper at the man who had appeared in his dreams many times but slowly faded from his memories. It was as if he wanted to remember his face forever.

After which, Shen Pei firmly walked out of the wooden shed and walked towards the place where the light was dense. However, in Lin Xiao's eyes, it was as if he had walked into endless darkness, making his heart turn cold.

Camera enlarged.

Shen Pei, who left the wooden warehouse step by step, was unable to resist her tears from flowing.

At this moment, Shen Pei, who was walking along the corridor, no longer walked gracefully like a pampered concubine. Instead, he had regained the royal etiquette that he had not trained for three years. It was as if he wanted to leave the last part of his dignity as a noble.
