The Dazzling Princess in Modern Times
Chapter 197: Ten Thousand Lanterns for you
It was rare for Jun Shiling to return home from work early, so he brought Xiao Bao back to the manor.
Jun Shiling held onto the little boy's hand and disappeared from sight. No one recovered from the shock of seeing Jun Shiling.
“I only saw the news last time. So Jun Shiling's son really is in this school.”
“Who would have thought that my son was in the same class as his son? I can't say normally. If it wasn't for what happened to Madam Wang last time ... Sigh, speaking of it, how would the Wang family?"
“I heard that the Wang family was not okay recently. Wang Kuan was from the branch to begin with. Why would the main branch of the Wang family care about him? Recently, the company went bankrupt. Cheng Wu who scolded Jun Shiling's son was divorced by the Wang family. He's really living a very miserable life now.”
“Tsk, they actually dared to provoke Jun Shiling's son.”
“We must remind our children not to provoke the child of the Jun family. If he gets into trouble, the whole family will regret it.”
......................
He was late to pick up Xiao Bao and traffic was also jammed. By the time he returned to the manor, the sky was already dark.
“You're back?” Xia Wanyuan had just finished preparing the food and asked the servants to take her to the table when she saw Jun Shiling enter with Xiao Bao.
“We're on time for dinner.”
“Bu, are you cooking again today?”
After receiving Xia Wanyuan's nod of approval, Xiao Bao cheered and jumped up. “Bu, I love the food you make the most! The food you make is the best in the world!”
Facing Xia Wanyuan, Xiao Bao unceasingly praised.
As he sat at the table, Jun Shiling realized that there was a small bowl of noodles in front of him.
A strong soup aroma rose from the porcelain bowl. The handmade noodles were soaked in a pale-colored soup with great lure, and there were fat eggs lying on the surface.
Jun Shiling was a little confused, but the habit he had developed over the past few days was that he could eat whatever Xia Wanyuan did.
Jun Shiling immediately picked up the noodles with his chopsticks and was surprised to find that this small bowl of noodles was actually whole. Without hesitation, Jun Shiling ate the long noodles.
There's not much noodles. After eating a bowl of noodles, the waiter served Jun Shiling rice.
When Jun Shiling stretched out his chopsticks, he felt that something was amiss.
'All dishes today are my favorite.'
Jun Shiling was not picky about food and was not particular about what he ate. In the past, the chefs at the manor had always prepared their meals according to the recipes given by the nutritionist.
Moreover, very few people in the manor knew Jun Shiling's true preference.
Jun Shiling glanced at Xia Wanyuan, who was smiling. “Try my cooking and see if it is delicious.”
He stretched out his chopsticks and tasted them one by one. Jun Shiling nodded. “Very delicious.”
'Even savory taste is my preference.'
Waves of warmth surged into Jun Shiling's heart, and his eyes turned much softer.
Xiao Bao ate very quickly that day. Before Jun Shiling could put down his bowl, Xiao Bao quickly put down his chopsticks and ran upstairs.
Not long after, Xiao Bao ran over and placed a box in front of Jun Shiling. He looks a little embarrassed. “Dad, this is for you. You can see it while I sleep ~”
Jun Shiling picked up the box and agreed to it.
After Xiao Bao gave Jun Shiling something, he thought of the cartoon he was watching in kindergarten.
Only a bad boy would interfere with his parents' personal time. 'I'm not a bad boy, and I'm very obedient. In addition, kindergarten will be having a spring trip tomorrow, so I have to go to bed early and wake up early.'
Thinking of this, Xiao Bao stopped bothering Xia Wanyuan and obediently followed the nanny to take a bath and prepared for bed.
If it was a normal night, Jun Shiling would continue working in the study after dinner.
But today, Jun Shiling felt that Xia Wanyuan was a little different than usual, so he did not climb upstairs but waited on the side.
An hour later, Xia Wanyuan's phone notification rang.
Xia Wanyuan clicked on it. “Aready.”
The manor was rather large, and the entire river surrounded the manor.
In early summer, the air is filled with the scent of plants.
In the past, manors were always brightly lit. That was a little abnormal today. On the way, the lights are basically dark.
Xia Wanyuan walked up to the limestone slab near the water and stood still. There seemed to be something on the limestone slab, but at night, it was not very clear.
“This?”
Xia Wanyuan tonight made Jun Shiling a little confused, and she couldn't help but ask.
“When I was very young, there was a habit in my hometown.” Xia Wanyuan turned around and looked at Jun Shiling.
“On someone's birthday, if ten thousand lanterns are lit, that person will live a peaceful life.”
Xia Wanyuan sighed. He only knew from the very complete documents that Uncle Wang had given him that it was actually Jun Shiling's birthday today, but he had never heard Jun Shiling mention it.
Xia Wanyuan quietly went to ask Uncle Wang. Only then did he know that ever since Jun Shiling's parents died, Old Master Jun was still in charge of the Jun Company at that time and had no time to care about Jun Shiling.
Every year, Jun Shiling would spend his birthday alone in that mansion. After a few years, Jun Shiling no longer celebrated his birthday.
After all this time, even Jun Shiling forgot his birthday.
When people in the Xia Dynasty celebrated their birthdays, their relatives would usually cook a bowl of longevity noodles and then accompany them to light lanterns to pray for blessings on their birthdays.
There was no time to prepare more things, so Xia Wanyuan used methods from her previous life to celebrate Jun Shiling's birthday.
“Happy birthday, Jun Shiling.”
Just when Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, a light suddenly lit up on the river bend in front.
Lanterns drifted from afar in line. There were more and more of them, as if they were endless.
Soon, the river was filled with lanterns. The originally dark night sky brightened under the illumination of these ten thousand lanterns.
Standing on the limestone, Xia Wanyuan's eyes also became clear. She has a sweet smile and beautiful eyes.
Jun Shiling did not know how to describe his feelings back then.
He wanted to hug this person in front of him tightly and implant it in his heart forever, never letting go.
That's what he thinks and does.
Xia Wanyuan was still wondering why Jun Shiling did not react when Jun Shiling pulled her into his arms.
In contrast to the gentleness when he was drunk last time, Jun Shiling hugged him tightly this time as if he had used all his strength.
