The Dazzling Princess in Modern Times
Chapter 15: Video Chat
The television drama was still playing, and Xia Wanyuan was watching it with a serious face. Although the plot is awkward, he wants to learn how modern people act.
By the time the episode was over, Xia Yu finally finished eating. He saw a clean bowl and plate.
Jun Yin blinked. “Uncle, you can really eat.”
“Ahem,”
Xia Yu touched the tip of her nose in embarrassment. It was the first food he ate after fighting with someone. How could he not be hungry?
After Xia Yu finished eating, Xia Wanyuan waved at Xiao Bao. “Come back, Xiao Bao.”
“Brease well. Send me a message on WeChat if you want something.”
“Oke.”
There is no free lunch in the world. Xia Yu rarely obeyed.
“Uncle, rest well. We will visit you in another day.”
Xiao Bao felt very close to this young uncle who was similar to Xia Wanyuan. His fat little hand wanted to imitate Xia Wanyuan's movement patting her head to comfort Xia Yu.
However, she was not tall enough and could not reach Xia Yu's head no matter how hard she tried. Having never interacted with such a child before, Xia Yu had no idea what she was doing.
Knowing what Xiao Bao wanted to do, Xia Wanyuan walked over and picked up Xiao Bao. Xiao Bao then reached out and patted Xia Yu's pink hair.
“Capable to heal, Uncle.”
Xia Yu had been brought back to the Xia family ever since she was young and her status was in an awkward state. Lady Xia and Xia Wanyuan did not like it. It was good enough that her father remembered that she had a son. No one ever approached him like this.
Sensing Xia Wanyuan's smiling gaze, Xia Yu lowered her head in embarrassment. His pink hair could not hide the redness that gradually stained his ears.
Xia Yu watched as Xia Wanyuan and Xiao Bao left. Although he could not bear to part with them, he tried to stay afloat.
“Hmph, I want to know what this woman is doing again.”
......................
After Xia Wanyuan came home, she took a comfortable shower and dried her hair. Right after he finished his skincare routine and sat down on the sofa, Xiao Bao held onto his phone and ran towards him with his short legs.
“Bu, this is for you.” Xiao Bao handed the phone to Xia Wanyuan, then obediently hugged her arm and sat down beside her.
The next day is the weekend. It was time to bring Jun Yin back to the old residence to visit Old Master Jun. Fearing that Jun Yin was unwilling to cooperate because of Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling called Jun Yin after work.
Who would have thought Jun Yin wanted Xia Wanyuan to go with him?
Xia Wanyuan was afraid of Old Master Jun. It would be strange if he agreed to leave. Jun Shiling found an excuse, but Xiao Bao insisted that Xia Wanyuan come with him.
Before Jun Shiling's expression darkened, the person on the phone screen switched.
Jun Shiling looked at the screen and sighed involuntarily.
Xia Wanyuan, who had just finished bathing and taking care of her skin, had perfect and supple beautiful skin. Her entire body was bright pink and without makeup, her rosy lips looked even more alluring.
The house was warm, so Xia Wanyuan wore a silk dress. Her long black hair made her collarbone look like jade, so beautiful it was dazzling.
Xia Wanyuan saw many modern women wearing sleeveless dresses like this on the outside, so she slowly accepted it. Therefore, at this moment, he did not feel anything unusual as an ancient person from a thousand years ago.
On the other hand, Jun Shiling, who had always been calm and composed, suddenly felt uneasy.
“What's the problem?” His red lips opened slightly.
The person in the video call looked tired.
“I will bring Jun Yin back to the old manor tomorrow. He wants you to accompany him.”
Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, Jun Shiling's deep voice sounded with a slight hoarse voice.
“To visit Grandpa?” Xia Wanyuan remembered that Old Master Jun was an excited and attractive old man.
His grandfather was still there when he was a child. In his memory, his grandfather would always hug him and gently poke his face with his beard, and the old man would burst out laughing whenever he cried.
Then, as the Imperial City collapsed, the old man, who was nearing the end of his life, ignored everyone's objections and mounted his horse. Together with his children, he was killed in the battle for the Xia Dynasty.
Xia Wanyuan suddenly fell silent. Although he did not speak, Jun Shiling could feel the sadness around him.
When Jun Shiling wanted to say something, Xiao Bao shook Xia Wanyuan's arm.
“Bu, come with me?”
“Oke.”
Xia Wanyuan freed herself from her grief and patted Jun Yin on the head. He turned to look at the phone. “I can accompany him. What time do we leave tomorrow?”
“Jam nine.”
“Good.”
After Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, she handed the phone to Xiao Bao and went to pick up some cherries in the fridge. She recently fell in love with those sweet fruits.
Moments later, a slender waist flashed across the screen, and then a smaller version of itself appeared on the same screen.
Jun Yin was clearly talking to him, but his eyes continued to stare in the other direction. Jun Shiling knew that he was looking at Xia Wanyuan.
There was a magical impulse in his heart. He also wanted to see Xia Wanyuan. But Jun Shiling would never say that out loud. “What did you learn in school today?”
“I learned poetry.”
“Random for me.”
“Sunny month before bed ..”
“What do you eat?”
In addition to work-related issues, Jun Shiling would usually complete the call within a minute. It was a little unusual that day.
“Daddy, do you miss us?”
Xiao Bao asked when he heard his father ask so many questions.
Jun Yin remembered that Xia Wanyuan had told him that Jun Shiling really cared for him, but he did not know how to reveal it.
“...” Jun Shiling's expression went dark.
Missed them?
This was the first time he had heard such a cheesy word.
“Dad, see you tomorrow. Mom and I miss you too.”
Xiao Bao finally set his gaze on Jun Shiling, blinking his large eyes.
“Sleep early. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning.”
After hanging up the phone, Jun Shiling's mind was still filled with a shocking void.
‘Does he miss me?’
Poor Xiao Bao had been ignored by his father.
Hmph.
As expected, he was still the same.
He wanted to use the child to win her heart.
Jun Shiling pursed his lips as if he was disgusted. However, there was no disgust in his eyes. Instead, there was a hint of anticipation that he was unaware of.
......................
In the ward, Xia Yu, whose arms were in so much pain that she could not sleep, groaned on the bed for a long time. In the end, he still could not sleep.
Therefore, he got up and grabbed his phone, opened Weibo, and subconsciously searched for Xia Wanyuan's name.
The news feed was all about the topic "Xia Wanyuan has been reduced to eating boiled chicken after going broke".
Xia Yu's eyes widened. ‘Did this woman become so poor?’
When he opened the comments, they all ridiculed and harassed Xia Wanyuan.
[This woman is very ugly.]
[Serve him properly. What did the boiled chicken do to deserve to be eaten? The chicken was very sad.]
“Pfft, this woman did very badly. Her acting is very bad and she is very ugly.”
Xia Yu muttered to herself, but her uninjured left hand awkwardly typed on her phone.
[Go take care of your eyes if you're blind. You are ugly! Your whole family is ugly!]
[Does eating boiled chicken bother you? Do you even have the money to eat boiled chicken? Why are you talking nonsense here, you piece of trash?]
