The Dazzling Princess in Modern Times

Chapter 2: Xiao Bao

Xia Wanyuan leaned against the leather seat while the car drove at a steady speed. Thanks to the excellent performance of the car, although the view outside the window passed like a blur, he could not feel the vibration of the car inside.

After the restoration of the dynasty in her previous life, Princess Xia Wanyuan had always received the highest treatment as a 'mother queen'. However, compared to modern cars, even the most luxurious carriages are not worth mentioning.

Everything reflected brilliantly in Xia Wanyuan's eyes.

Line after row of towering skyscrapers, flaming neon lights, endless streams of pedestrians, and the bustle of busy streets.

‘Bagus.’

Xia Wanyuan sighed wholeheartedly. He also enjoyed life as a member of the royal family when he was young. After the imperial palace was destroyed, he had to care for his brothers through chaotic times, experienced many upheavals, and had lived through many changes.

Now that he saw such peace and tranquility in the world, he felt a calmness from the bottom of his heart. He finally had the feeling of integrating into this era.

While he was deep in thought, he did not realize that the car had stopped.

“Nona, we have arrived.”

Xia Wanyuan only regained consciousness from her mind as the driver reminded her.

“Wait here.”

With that order, Xia Wanyuan pushed the door open and got out of the car. When she left the house, she wore a long jacket over her skirt. However, it was still a little cold in the spring night. He could do nothing, but roll up his sleeves.

Kindergarten International is the most prestigious kindergarten in Beijing. The children who attend this kindergarten are either rich children or noble children. He seemed to have arrived rather late, and there were only a few people left in front of the kindergarten.

Realizing that the school had ended, Xia Wanyuan felt a little regretful. He turned and was about to return.

However, as he turned around, he seemed to sense something and turned to look at it. He saw a pair of wine-like clear eyes staring at him through the window of the kindergarten guard's office.

Perhaps because of the mother-daughter relationship that was miraculous, Xia Wanyuan guessed that this child might be a product of the original owner's body and his nominal husband's one-night stand.

Because the original owner of the body went through a difficult labor, she had to struggle all day and night before giving birth. In addition, her husband never gave her any attention, so she vented her anger on this child, never fulfilled her maternal duties, and hated this child so much.

But since Xia Wanyuan had received this body, she would not see her child grow up like an orphan. When he was ten years old, his father and mother had died for the country. He understood very well how lonely and painful it was to have no one to rely on.

With that thought, Xia Wanyuan smiled and walked towards the child.

He pushed open the door to the guard post and saw the child's face. Xia Wanyuan realized that she was his son.

Xiao Bao (Jun Yun)

“Xiao Bao, I'm here to pick you up. Go home with Mom.”

Crouching down, Xia Wanyuan looked at the adorable and fat little boy like that dumpling. He remembered the boy's nickname and spoke softly.

However, that 'little dumpling' seemed to hold up a little. He glanced at her with teary eyes and lowered his head in doubt and sorrow.

“Eh? Little girl, are you a liar?"

" Little child, is she really your mother?”

At first, the guard thought the overly beautiful girl was a little similar to the little boy, but seeing the boy's resistance, the, he begins to suspect that the woman is here to kidnap and sell the child. His hand quietly grabbed the pager.

Hearing the guard's words, the little boy raised his head and once again glanced at Xia Wanyuan. But in his eyes, he could see warmth and tenderness that he had never seen before. In the past, his mother would never look at him like this. He would only tell her to scramble whenever she approached him. But now, she looked very warm, and she couldn't help but want to get closer to him.

“Xiao Bao, come back with Mom, okay?”

Seeing the pitiful look of those little dumplings, Xia Wanyuan's heart ached from the tender affection. She could not help but reach out and caress her soft hair. The more he looked at her, the more he felt that this little child left behind by the original owner of her body was adorable.

The little boy was stunned when he was suddenly touched in his head. His already big eyes grew bigger.

Is this the feeling of having a mother?

“Oke.”

The little boy never felt what it was like to have a mother. She is so jealous of her friends in kindergarten who have parents who come to pick them up every day. Even if his mother was just acting on a whim, it didn't matter. She still wants to feel like she has a mother.

Hearing the affirmative answer of the little boy, the security guard was finally willing to let go. Xia Wanyuan held the little boy's hand and walked towards their car.

The driver sat in the car and watched Xia Wanyuan hold the hand of the little master and walk towards him. They are very harmonious. 

‘Nona Xia never liked her son. Is the sun rising from the west today?’

However, the Young Master was extremely dislikeful of the so-called Madam and did not allow the Little Master to approach her.

‘Does Young Master know about this? What is Miss Xia trying to do?’

Remembering the way his cruel master, the driver inevitably shivered.

“Let's go home.” Xia Wanyuan brought Xiao Bao into the car. The driver was still in a daze.

“Ya, Mistress.”

Forget it, he's a nobody. Why should he be so worried?

With that, the driver quickly started the car.

......................

“Young Master, Kindergarten said that Young Master was taken away by Miss Xia. We checked the surveillance cameras and it was indeed Miss Xia.”

A piece of news received from this earphone stopped the man from looking at the document. Traces of disgust flashed in his eyes.

“Bring Little Master back to the manor. Have you drafted a divorce agreement?”

“The lawyers are all ready and the documents have been drafted. They will be sent to your office tomorrow.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the luxurious office became silent once again. A cold environment does not fit into a crowded world outside the window.

......................

By the time Xia Wanyuan returned to the villa with her 'little dumplings', the sky was already dark and filled with stars.

'The 'little dumpling' had been wrapped up in Xia Wanyuan's arms ever since they boarded the car. He was a bundle of tenderness with a hint of innocence. Since he had never come into contact with Xia Wanyuan in such a manner before, he seemed somewhat restrained.

“Let's go inside for dinner, Xiao Bao.”

Xia Wanyuan took the little boy out of the car and held his hand.

“Oke.”

After hearing Xia Wanyuan call out her nickname, the little dumpling's chubby cheeks flushed red. This was the first time his mother had called him 'Xiao Bao' (a small dumpling) instead of calling him ‘a naughty boy that sucks’.

Thinking of what her mother had called her in the past, tears of complaint welled up in her eyes. He quietly turned his head to look at Xia Wanyuan.

How nice would it be if her mother had always been so gentle with her?

Sensing her son's gaze, Xia Wanyuan turned her head and saw the adorable child pouting and looking at her with tears in her eyes. Heart softened.

In his previous life, he had no children of his own as he had spent all his energy on restoring the Xia Dynasty and taking care of his younger siblings. Now that he had a little child that belonged to him, his eyes were filled with gentleness.

Squatting down to meet his height, he touched the child's head and looked straight into his big eyes.

“Xiao Bao, what happened in the past was Mom's fault. I will treat you very well in the future.”

Hearing Xia Wanyuan's words, the eyes of the 'little dumpling' widened. Her mother said she would treat her well.

Is this true?

He had been pushed away again and again every time he tried to get closer to her at first. He had already decided to ignore his evil mother, but he still needed her. He craves his love.

Seeing the gentle smile on Xia Wanyuan's face and feeling the warmth of her hands above her head, she finally smiled and pounced on Xia Wanyuan's embrace.

As the bundle of happiness pounced into his arms. Xia Wanyuan's heart trembled, probably because of the bond between the mother and the child.

After hearing the sound of the car, Nanny Li came out to greet them. She was already surprised that Xia Wanyuan would be back for dinner, but what was even more surprising was when she saw the mother and child hugging each other happily.

Doesn't Miss Xia hate Little Master?

What the hell is going on?

However, after his long experience in serving the family, he naturally knew what to do and what not to do. He controlled the expression on his face and walked towards Xia Wanyuan.

“Nona, Little Master, the food is ready. Please enjoy your dinner.”

“OK, let's go.”

Xia Wanyuan released Xiao Bao, but she looked a little reluctant. Her mother's embrace was too warm for her to let go. He looked at Nanny Li in annoyance before taking a big step to follow Xia Wanyuan.

Nanny Li stood glued to the ground.

How did he offend Little Master?

When they entered the house, the servants had already prepared the dishes. The steam is curled up under the light.

“We didn't know that Miss and Little Master would be back together, so we only had time to make some home-cooked meals. We will make food again.”

Although Xia Wanyuan had lived here for three years after her marriage, she had always treated this place as a place to sleep. He would go out whenever he had time, and rarely ate at home.

Since the servants received the wages, they did not care what, they would cook food every night regardless of whether he was home or not. However, since no one ate it, they simply cooked a few simple dishes and shared them.

He glanced at the plate on the table. There are four dishes and soup. The food was rather simple for the original owner of the body who used to splurge but not for the current Xia Wanyuan.

“No need, we eat this only. Nanny Li, take Little Master to wash her hands.”

The servants, who thought they would be scolded by Xia Wanyuan, were all shocked.

Isn't Miss Xia too relaxed today?

What the hell is going on?

As the temperature in the villa had been set all year, Xia Wanyuan took off her coat. Modern technology that is able to improve the comfort of society again makes it amazed.
