The Dazzling Princess in Modern Times

Chapter 4: Jun Shiling

As soon as they sat down to rest, the night calmed down in his peaceful sleep. The moonlight shone on the sleeping mother and child in each other's arms, enveloping the couple in a layer of bright light.

The next morning, before Xia Wanyuan woke up, she felt a ball of warmth in her arm. When he opened his eyes, he saw Xiao Bao looking at him with big eyes that reflected his figure. His long eyelashes fluttered.

After being attacked by her cuteness in the morning, a wide smile appeared on Xia Wanyuan's face. “What's wrong? Why did you wake up so early?”

“So what happened yesterday was not a dream. Ma'am, will you be like yesterday in the future?”

Xiao Bao clung tightly to Xia Wanyuan's shoulder as if to make sure that everything was real.

Seeing the combination of fear and longing on Xiao Bao's face, Xia Wanyuan's heart softened.

How insecure was this little boy to repeatedly make sure that he would always treat her well?

“Of course. I'll be like yesterday from now on. I'll pick you up today, okay?”

“Alright, you must keep your promise. Little promise!”

As Xiao Bao spoke, he reached out his little hand and he matched Xiao Bao's little finger to his, completing their deal.

After breakfast, he asked the driver to drive Xiao Bao to school. It was with great reluctance that Xiao Bao left Xia Wanyuan.

“Mommy will be waiting for you at home. Be good at school.” Xia Wanyuan smiled and kissed Xiao Bao's cheek. Only then did Xiao Bao get into the car, his face flushed with embarrassment.

The servants on the side watched the interaction between Xia Wanyuan and the little master. They did not show it on their faces, but they were shocked.

Yesterday, he had asked Chen Yun to discuss some matters. It wasn't time yet, so Xia Wanyuan returned home, fired the servants, and went shopping by herself. After all, he was still very interested in modern things.

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

The owner of the body was not a book lover, but there was a study room in the villa. In order for the empty bookshelf not to look too ugly, he had bought many books and placed them on the shelf.

Xia Wanyuan casually picked up a book and sat on the sofa on the first floor. He put his head on the pillow and began to read.

The servants saw that Xia Wanyuan not only did not leave the house, but she even took out a book to read.

What the hell is he doing?

Is he ready to change his personality?

They initially thought that he would reveal his true colors after flipping through a few pages. However, he sat on the sofa for two to three hours without moving and had read more than half of the books.

Chen Yun had been scolded by the higher management of Star Creations Entertainment in the morning, so he had come to find Xia Wanyuan with a stomach full of anger. As she walked in, she saw Xia Wanyuan, who was leaning on the sofa by the French window, reading a book.

She was wearing a simple plain-colored dress. Her hair was loosely stroked, and her facial features were beautiful without any makeup. However, there was an alluring charm to her. The entire scene was filled with a sense of calmness that no one dared to disturb him, to the point that he did not dare to scold him, even though his stomach was filled with angry words.

“Sister Chen.”

Hearing the footsteps on the door, Xia Wanyuan raised her head. A pair of watery eyes looked over and assessed Chen Yun. Chen Yun held his breath and subconsciously threw away his face.

“Wanyuan.” One should not slap a smiling person. He did not expect Xia Wanyuan to address him as Brother Chen when they met, and he could not bear to make things difficult for him anymore.

“So you know what happened?”

Looking at those glass-like eyes, Chen Yun felt a little guilty.

“It's not that I didn't fight for you, but you also know that your role as the female lead was originally obtained from the production team under company pressure. Now that your family has no funds for production, there's nothing I can do if the production team wants to replace you.”

Actually, the role of the main character was indeed obtained because Xia Wanyuan had brought funds to the production team. Now that the Xia family was bankrupt, the production team was dissatisfied with Xia Wanyuan acting as the female lead. It was expected that they would take the opportunity to go back on their words.

However, the contract had been signed, and if the production team retracted its words, it would be considered a breach of contract.

The company could use the contract as an excuse to suppress the production team, but it was clear that the current Xia Wanyuan, other than her pretty face, had no value for the company to go head-to-head with the production team.

“If I remember correctly,” Xia Wanyuan's voice sounded in a cold tone, “I signed a contract with the production team. They can't just break the contract, right?”

After resolving her situation, Xia Wanyuan felt that she would be immediately expelled from the company. If he wanted to survive, he had to work hard. Since the owner of the body was an actress, she had to take over her job for a while.

Chen Yun's heart was beating fast. ‘How did I never realize that Xia Wanyuan's voice actually sounded so pleasant?’

“The contract has not changed. It's just that you and the second female lead have exchanged roles. Ruan Yingyu will be playing the female lead, and you will be playing her part."

Chen Yun did not dare to look Xia Wanyuan in the eyes, but on second thought, why should he be afraid of her?

“OK, I'm fine with that. When should I start?”

“It was not ..” Chen Yun, who was about to argue with Xia Wanyuan, was dumbfounded.

“You agree?”

“Yes I agree. Send me the script.”

With that said, he continued his reading position and turned to look at Chen Yun. “Is there anything else?”

“Ti-Nothing. I'll send it to you when I get back.”

The heaven-shaking, earth-shattering event he had originally anticipated did not happen. In fact, the aura Xia Wanyuan had accidentally revealed made her feel a little short of breath. He could not help but wipe his eyes.

Nothing is wrong!

This woman was indeed Xia Wanyuan!

Is he living in a fantasy world?

Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had once again seen the book in his hand and did not intend to speak any further, Chen Yun wisely left. Before he left, he glanced at the book in Xia Wanyuan—’Whistling Manor’'s hands, and then at Xia Wanyuan, who looked completely engrossed.

Ha, this world is a fantasy!

Even after leaving the villa, Chen Yun was still confused. Why did he leave obediently without even scolding her?

But it was fine since Xia Wanyuan was willing to cooperate obediently.

Initially, he was able to survive in the entertainment industry because it had brought in funds to join the production team. However, her acting skills were very poor and she always acted arrogantly. Therefore, he did not have many fans but had many haters.

Since the Xia family was now broke, this drama would probably be his last drama even though nothing was wrong. Chen Yun expressed his gratitude to the heavens now that he would finally get rid of this demanding woman!

What surprised everyone in the villa was that Xia Wanyuan, who was usually invisible, was actually obediently staying at the house that day. After lunch, he took a nap, then in the afternoon, he picked up another book to read. This time, it was the little master's English book.

As the night approached, Xia Wanyuan, who had finally finished flipping through the English books, stood up and went to the kitchen.

Nanny Li silently looked at the thickness of the English book.

Holy hooch! Miss Xia can really pretend!

Who would believe that such a thick book could be finished in one afternoon?

“Nona.”

Seeing Xia Wanyuan, who had not been in the kitchen for a long time, actually coming here, everyone felt uneasy. They were afraid that he would go crazy again.

“Create snacks, and make a bowl of egg soup for Little Master.”

“Ya, Miss.”

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

Meanwhile, at the entrance of kindergarten, the driver sent by Lin Jing was deadlocked with Xiao Bao.

“Little Master, Young Master has instructed us to take you home for dinner today. Please come with us.”

Xiao Bao clung tightly to the gate of the guard post, his little mouth pouting. He doesn't want to go back. He wants to stay with Mom!

Having no choice, the drivers tried to pull him away. However, they did not expect the security guards to be so responsible. He stood in front of Xiao Bao and looked at them as if they were human traffickers.

At that moment, Xia Wanyuan's driver came over. Seeing that it was the driver from yesterday, Xiao Bao's eyes twinkled. He pointed out the window.

“See! STRANGE FLYING OBJECTS!”

Everyone subconsciously looked out the window. Xiao Bao took the opportunity to sneak out of the crack with his school bag.

“Tell my father that I will stay with Mom!”

Before the driver sent by Xia Wanyuan could enter, the little master who rushed out pulled his sleeve and quickly darted into the car.

“Quick, let's go!”

The driver did not know what was going on. He thought that the little master had experienced something terrible, and imagined the scene of a group of human traffickers wanting to kidnap him. He was so scared that he stepped on the gas pedal as fast as he could.

At the moment the driver sent by Lin Jing rushed out, all he encountered was exhaust fumes covering his face.

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

“Mother!”

As Xiao Bao got out of the car, he saw Xia Wanyuan waiting for him in the courtyard. He immediately ran towards Xia Wanyuan happily.

Mom didn't lie to him!

“Good son. Go and wash your hands, we'll have dinner soon.”

The two of them chatted and laughed while walking while holding hands. After what happened yesterday, the servants were not too surprised by the sight.

After washing his hands, Xiao Bao sat obediently by the table, waiting for Xia Wanyuan to serve food for him. He saw the food on the table.

Oh no, carrots!

He hates carrots the most!

But it was my mother who gave him carrots! With a slight frown on his brows, Xiao Bao gulped and ate the carrots steadily.

As long as Mom gives him food, he'll eat it!

Seeing how cute and obedient Xiao Bao was, the corner of Xia Wanyuan's eyes was colored with a smile.

The mother and son ate happily and did not realize that someone was standing at the door.

However, Nanny Li had noticed the figure and prepared to go and greet him.

Only then did Xia Wanyuan realize something was wrong. He looked towards the door.

The Xia Dynasty royal family had excellent genes, but even Xia Wanyuan, who had seen many handsome men in the royal family, found the person standing before him to be extremely handsome.

While some people look good on the outside, they lack the inner qualities worth mentioning. Although outwardly they are beautiful, they are still unattractive.

However, the man standing at the door wore a beautiful suit that accentuated his figure perfectly. He had a face that looked like he had been chiseled, with straight eyebrows and a high nose. There was a deep look in his eyes and he exuded the aura of someone who had a high status.

Even Xia Wanyuan, who had once been the ruler of the Xia Dynasty, could not help but admire this imposing man.

According to his memories, the person in front of him should have been the current head of the Jun Family, Jun Shiling, whom he had 'drugged' bravely when he was 18. The same man she threatened and forced to marry her after she became pregnant.
