The Dazzling Princess in Modern Times
Chapter 20: Cowering In Bed
However, no one cared about Xia Yu's resistance.
“Jun Yin will come back with me tonight, she is still in school tomorrow.” Jun Shiling looked at Xiao Bao dejectedly, who was holding onto Xia Wanyuan.
Knowing that she was going to leave so early tomorrow, Xia Wanyuan nodded in agreement.
“But I want to sleep with Mom.”
Upon learning that he was going to part from Xia Wanyuan, tears slowly welled up in Xiao Bao's eyes. He could not part with his mother. A few sad sobs came out from his trembling lips.
Xia Yu looked at Xiao Bao's crying face and pensively pensive in heart. ‘That little devil will be punished by his father.’
“Stop messing around. You have school tomorrow. Let's go.”
Jun Shiling walked over and held Xiao Bao's hand. Just as he was about to leave, he stopped and looked at Xia Yu expressionlessly. “You too.”
“…”
Xia Yu's arrogant expression immediately changed. “I... can't I go tomorrow?”
Jun Shiling glanced at Xia Wanyuan's exposed legs, which were as beautiful as exquisite jade, and felt an inexplicable wave of anger.
“Either you go now or you don't go at all.”
Xia Wanyuan did not know why Jun Shiling was angry, but she still tried to ease the atmosphere by persuading Xia Yu.
“It's okay, go with him and help keep Xiao Bao. I have to go out early tomorrow.”
Whatever struggle he did was in vain. In the end, Jun Shiling held Xiao Bao's hand and left the apartment with Xia Yu, whose face was wrinkled like a bun.
The boisterous house suddenly became quiet. Xia Wanyuan sat on the carpet, holding a cup of tea while looking out the window. Modern cities are not like ancient times where all places will be closed once night falls. At night, the modern city lights up with countless fluorescent lights, giving it a unique charm.
As she looked out the window at the myriad of lights outside, Xia Wanyuan started to miss the small dumplings that were always attached to her. He wondered if they had arrived safely.
At this moment, the phone vibrated, and the screen showed a black profile picture flashing with several stars on it.
Caller ID displays one word, “Jun”.
Before Xiao Bao left, he was very reluctant to part with Xia Wanyuan, so he had promised her a video call to coax her to sleep. It seems they have arrived home safely.
Xia Wanyuan smiled, put the cup in her hand, and pressed the answer button.
“Mother!”
'A soft, white dumpling' wedged on the screen.
“Good son. Have you taken a shower?” Xia Wanyuan gently responded.
“Yes, Mother. Aunt at home helped me take a shower. I'm so fragrant now. Kiss me!”
With that, Xiao Bao placed his hand in front of the phone.
“Ya, you smell.” Xia Wanyuan's lips curled up at the adorable action of the child.
Next to Xiao Bao sat Jun Shiling, who was reading the documents on his computer seriously. However, even though Xiao Bao had been chatting with Xia Wanyuan for nearly fifteen minutes, he was still on the first page.
“Alright, it's time for bed. Tomorrow you have to get up early for school.”
A low and attractive male voice could be heard. Xia Wanyuan, who wanted to talk longer with Xiao Bao, realized that this was already very late.
“Dad, can I sleep with you? I'm afraid of little monsters.”
Xia Wanyuan had been watching Ultraman with Xiao Bao these few days, and Xiao Bao needed Xia Wanyuan to accompany him to sleep at night because he was afraid that the little monster would catch him and take him away while he slept.
Jun Shiling, who had never been close to anyone, wanted to reprimand him, but when he looked down and saw a pair of wet eyes that resembled his, he finally allowed it.
“Bu, the song you sang yesterday was very good. I want to hear it today as well.”
After being thrown onto the bed and crammed under the covers by Jun Shiling, Xiao Bao still held his phone to talk to Xia Wanyuan.
“OK, then lie down and get rid of your phone. Mom will sing. Be good and sleep. ”
Xia Wanyuan enjoyed listening to recent popular songs. The melody is easy to remember and the lyrics are catchy. Therefore, when he persuaded Jun Yin to go to sleep, he often hummed the songs he had just learned.
“Mm!”
Jun Shiling glared at him silently. He was very uncooperative when he had a shower just now, unlike now. It was a pity that Xiao Bao's eyes were closed and he didn't notice Jun Shiling's gaze.
Xia Wanyuan's clear singing voice sounded over the phone. His voice was like a puddle of crystal clear water hitting the spring as if it was the only sound that could seep into the depths of one's heart in this quiet night.
Slowly, Xiao Bao's breathing became calmer, and the singing on the phone became gradually softer. Xia Wanyuan slowly fell asleep as well.
Jun Shiling, who had been sitting quietly by the bedside for a long time, gently picked up the phone from the pillow when he did not hear any sound from the phone anymore.
All that remains in the picture is a clean and beautiful side profile. Her hair was strewn across the pillow. Xia Wanyuan's long eyelashes were like little bow fans, casting shadows on his lower eyelids.
Jun Shiling was fascinated. He looked at her quietly for a while, then reached out to the phone and hung up the call.
The little dumpling curled up on the bed involuntarily, as if she was looking for someone to lean on. Jun Shiling, who was about to continue working overtime, lifted the blanket and fell asleep beside Xiao Bao.
Sensing the source of warmth, Xiao Bao's hands and feet wrapped around him.
That surprised him. Jun Shiling, who had never been this close to anyone before, froze for a moment. After a while, she reached out and hugged the soft little dumplings that were not half her height.
The man's heart swelled with warmth as he inhaled the warm, milky aroma emanating from the body of the small dumpling. It was the natural bond that came with the blood relation.
The night finally calmed down.
......................
They were supposed to meet at the airport at half-eight in the morning. However, given Xia Wanyuan's lazy habits, she probably won't come until nine. Therefore, Chen Yun ate leisurely before arriving at the airport.
Unexpectedly, as he entered the VIP room, he saw Xia Wanyuan sitting quietly in a chair with sunglasses, drinking tea.
She wore a white floral shirt and tight white pants that made her legs look slender like a pair of bamboo chopsticks. She also wore a pink jacket with long flower petal sleeves and a long belt around her waist, which made her look like a blooming flower.
“…”
She knew that Xia Wanyuan was beautiful and she had always loved bold colors and flamboyant styles. After a long time, he had already gotten used to his style.
However, the current Xia Wanyuan, despite wearing a relatively monotonous color, was as smooth and moving as a lotus in the rain, leaving one with an endless remnant of flavor.
“Hey, um, you're here early in the morning?”
He feels a little guilty. Moreover, he was surprised by Xia Wanyuan's sudden change in style. Chen Yun approached him with a hint of embarrassment.
“Didn't we agree to meet at half-eight?”
“...” He doesn't know what to say.
“It's time, let's go and check-in.”
Until they boarded the plane, Xia Wanyuan was actually confused. After all, it was the first time he had gone through a ticket check and security check. Fortunately, because the original owner of the body was lazy in the past, Chen Yun had to handle many things for him. Therefore, there are no visible flaws.
The plane gradually rose into the sky. Xia Wanyuan recovered from her dizziness and looked outside, only to find that she was already in the clouds.
Large clouds piled up outside the window like cotton candy. When she was a little princess, she often asked her mother what was above the clouds. His mother told him that it was a place for immortal beings to live.
Looking at the clouds outside the window now, Xia Wanyuan felt an inexplicable bitterness in her heart.
