The Dazzling Princess in Modern Times
Chapter 18: Giving Words
“Because I borrowed your paper, I gave you three characters in return.”
Xia Wanyuan's eyelashes curved up, and sunlight shone through her eyes.
“I don't know.”
Jun Shiling stared intently at the three words on the paper. Since he was also somewhat proficient in calligraphy, he could tell that the scratches on the paper had a unique appeal and strength.
That's rare.
Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan's eyes deeply and finally nodded, revealing a confident expression.
“It was well written.”
“Thank you for your praise.” Xia Wanyuan's smile widened.
......................
“Old Master, what do you think?”
Unknowingly, Old Master Jun had gotten up and stood by the window, looking at the two of them.
“What opinion can I have?” The Old Master sighed deeply.
“Older Ah Ling died early and she has been alone since childhood. I'm old, I don't even know when I'll be.”.
Hearing Old Master's words, Uncle Liu immediately replied, “Old Master, don't say that. You are still in good health.”
“Huh, I just feel sorry for my granddaughter. He has no one by his side. ”
“Miss Xia seems very different from what the rumors say. Didn't his master say it back then? He is a blessing from Young Master.”
The old man sighed as he looked at the couple in the sunlight.
“I hope so.”
After Xiao Bao woke up, Jun Shiling returned with his wife's son. After they left, Old Master looked at the door for a while before returning to the courtyard.
“Master, wind blowing. Let me bring it all back inside. ” Uncle Liu started collecting papers and brushes on the table.
“Hold.”
The old man seemed to see something strange as he stared at the words on the table intently.
Uncle Liu tilted his head to look. He was a layman, but he could see that this calligraphy was written with gusto.
“What is this?”
Uncle Liu was surprised. “Nona Xia just wrote this.”
“Great! Words contain the essence of a person. It seems I underestimated Xia Wanyuan.”
The more Old Master considered the text, the more he felt that this calligraphy was well written. She's amazed. After looking at it for a while, he finally raised his hand to gesture to Uncle Liu.
“Xiao Liu, send this writing to manor.”
The old man looked at him reluctantly and finally made up his mind.
“Ya, Old Master.”
......................
After sending Xia Wanyuan and Xiao Bao back to the apartment, Jun Shiling returned to the manor alone. The car drove slowly and he saw flowers, plants, and pavilions outside.
It was a place he had lived in for over twenty years, but this was the first time Jun Shiling felt that the place was too vast.
In his mind, he could not help but think of the person he saw outside the window. In the morning sun and surrounded by flowers and plants, his side profile was as if illuminated by light.
Four marble pillars support the four corners of the mansion and the bright crystal lamps emit a dazzling light.
After taking off his suit, Jun Shiling sat on the sofa and closed his eyes. He had never liked the crowd since he was young, so there were very few people in the manor who would appear beside him unless necessary.
For some reason, Jun Shiling suddenly felt that the room was too quiet that day.
“Lady.”
A voice suddenly came from the door.
“What is it?”
Jun Shiling opened his eyes and looked towards the door. The waiter was holding a rectangular box.
“Young Master, Old Master asked someone to send this box. He said to give it to you. ”
“Bring it.”
With permission, the waiter brought the box in.
After firing the servants, Jun Shiling opened the box. The smooth paper was as soft as a baby's skin under the light. Even when he opened the box, the smell of ink greeted him.
The ink had dried up, and those pitch-black words were glittering under the light.
An invisible warmth filled Jun Shiling's eyes.
......................
At the hospital, Xia Yu had just finished her fight with the haters. Putting his phone down in a huff, he looked towards the door for the umpteenth time.
Which means he should be here by now.
To think that he had been waiting for it for so long. “Hmph.”
At this moment, the sound of high heels, mixed with the childish chatter, could be heard from outside the door.
Xia Yu hurriedly stuffed her phone under the pillow and covered herself with a blanket. He closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
As the temperature was slightly cooler at night, Xia Wanyuan had returned to the apartment to change her clothes. Once again, Xiao Bao insisted on visiting his uncle, so Xia Wanyuan agreed to take him.
“Uncle!”
Xiao Bao opened the door and ran in, calling Xia Yu with his cute voice.
Xia Yu's eyes twitched but she was still pretending to be asleep.
“Uncle, time to get up and eat!” Xiao Bao leaned against the bed and poked Xia Yu's cheek with his stye finger.
Deciding enough time had passed, Xia Yu opened her eyes slowly as if someone had woken her up. He rubbed his eyes and looked at Xiao Bao.
“Uncle!” Xiao Bao smirked from ear to ear.
“Good son!”
Xia Yu patted Xiao Bao's head and looked at Xia Wanyuan indifferently. “Why are you here again?”
“I brought you food. Why are you more picky than Xiao Bao? He's a good boy and eats his carrots too.”
Xia Wanyuan put the dishes on the table.
“Uncle, you can't be too picky! Carrot is good.”
With that, Xiao Bao reached out and handed Xia Yu a bowl of pork ribs and carrots.
“…”
Although she did not like the taste of carrots, Xia Yu still finished her plate when she saw Xiao Bao's sparkling eyes.
After dinner, Xia Yu toyed with Xiao Bao for some time. Xia Yu was young and had many tricks, and Xiao Bao was completely fascinated by it.
During that time, Xia Wanyuan learned more about Xia Yu's condition from the doctor before she returned to the ward. Looking at the two grinning faces, the corner of Xia Wanyuan's lips curved up. Although Xia Yu looked like an incarnation of a demon, she herself was actually still a child.
“Doctor says that you will be discharged tomorrow. Are you planning to go home?”
Xia Yu, who was playing with Xiao Bao, stopped when she heard this and her eyes were filled with ridicule.
“Home? Which house do you mean? And who is my family called? Was it Chairman Xia who never cared for me, or the woman who wanted me to disappear as quickly as possible so that she could make room for her other child?”
The mockery of the outside world these past few days and the depression confined in his heart suddenly erupted from the word ‘rumah’.
After yelling at Xia Wanyuan, Xia Yu finally realized that she should not have told him that. He pursed his lips and lowered his head to hide the redness in his eyes.
There was a long silence.
“Then come back with me. I'll be joining the production team in a few days. You can stay home and accompany Xiao Bao.”
‘What?’
Xia Yu suddenly raised her head, her eyes glittering.
“Not needed. I don't like to trouble others.”
Ever since she was young, she knew that no one liked her. He was also used to not bother anyone.
“Uncle, come back with us. That way, we can play together every day!”
As if wanting to emphasize her point, Xiao Bao hugged Xia Yu's arm and looked at her expectantly.
“You don't trouble anyone. The house is ready. I'll have someone pick you up tomorrow.”
After making up her mind, Xia Wanyuan lifted Xiao Bao from the bed and pulled him away.
On the bed, Xia Yu's eyes glittered with redness as she watched Xia Wanyuan leave the room.
