The Dazzling Princess in Modern Times

Chapter 853: First Meeting with a Beautiful Cousin

Xia Wanyuan sat in the car and wanted to bend over to take off her shoes. After standing all night, his legs hurt a little.

Only then did Jun Shiling retract his gaze from Yu Qian and stop Xia Wanyuan. He placed Xia Wanyuan's foot on his lap and gently removed the rope.

In order to be compatible with the fishtail dress, the heels Xia Wanyuan wore today were thin and tall. After standing like this for four to five hours, there were some red marks on his ankles.

Jun Shiling's eyes were filled with heartache. He held Xia Wanyuan's ankle and massaged it for her. “Didn't we agree not to care about the Wei family for now?”

“It was a boost.” Xia Wanyuan relaxed and leaned back in her chair. “Be that. Even if there's a problem, don't we still have you, CEO Jun?”

Hearing Xia Wanyuan's words, Jun Shiling smiled. “It's okay even if you make the Wei family go bankrupt. I am your supporter. Don't worry.”

Xia Wanyuan's eyes curved into a crescent moon. His feet were being massaged by Jun Shiling, and he had been walking around the banquet hall at night. Xia Wanyuan was really tired, so she fell asleep not long after and leaned on Jun Shiling's shoulder.

Feeling the small weight on his shoulder, Jun Shiling turned his head and glanced at him. Xia Wanyuan's face was so small that she could wrap it with her hands. However, such a small body contained an enormous amount of energy.

Jun Shiling adjusted his posture to make Xia Wanyuan lean more comfortable, and his actions became lighter.

The fluorescent lights outside the window flickered. In the car, the soft-eyed Jun Shiling planted a kiss on Xia Wanyuan's sleeping forehead.

...----------------...

The Wei family had always been self-effacing and usually did not allow their news to appear in the eyes of the outside world.

To ordinary people, this banquet could not be seen at all. However, in the circle in Beijing, it caused a storm.

Old Madam Wei's attitude towards her grandson, Xia Wanyuan, was really strange. Furthermore, everyone was even more surprised that this young lady, who had never appeared in the circle of the capital, could move freely among so many people.

However, no matter what the outside world guessed, the Wei family fell silent and did not divulge any news.

After only playing outside for two days, Xia Wanyuan felt like everything had piled up again.

The production team's problems have ended, but it's very busy at school. To seize the time Xia Wanyuan, the director of the Arts and Literature department fought enthusiastically in the office.

In order not to get involved with the argument of the department head, Xia Wanyuan took her lesson plan and found a quiet garden to read and take notes.

The morning sun was warm and the autumn sun was cold.

After preparing for her morning class, Xia Wanyuan closed her notebook, looked at the time, and called. “Halo, I'm in a small park.”

Not long after, footsteps came from far away. Xia Wanyuan looked up, her eyes shining.

A lady in sky-blue cheongsam dress slowly walked over. The cheongsam was filled with orchid flowers depicting the graceful figure of the woman.

His skin was like jade, and he looked as light as a cloud.

Like an orchid shrouded in Jiangnan's misty rain all season, he carried the southern softness and opened a serene ink painting in front of Xia Wanyuan.

The woman spoke softly with a hint of clarity. “Halo cousin. I'm Wei Jin.”

“I'm ashamed to say this. I'm not as talented as you. I'm just a lecturer now. I'm new and haven't had many classes set up.” Wei Jin spoke slowly like a gurgling mountain spring, making people relax and feel at ease.

The way he looked at Xia Wanyuan had a hint of respect and passion that was not excessive. She stood upright like a bamboo pine tree, and her every move had the style of a noblewoman.

Xia Wanyuan praised him in her heart. In the current era, people like Wei Jin, who seemed to have come out of the ancient book, could actually be brought up. Even in his previous life, his temperament could only be raised by nobles.

“Is this your first time in Beijing? Are you used to it?” Perhaps because of her temperament, Xia Wanyuan had a good impression of Wei Jin and asked with concern.

“It was pretty good.” Wei Jin nodded, his eyes shining. “I really like the atmosphere of Qing University.”

“Why don't you stay on the Wei family page?” Xia Wanyuan had just found out. Wei Jin refused Old Lady Wei's invitation and insisted on staying at the school by himself.

“My family has always been the ones taking care of me. It's my first time working outside, so I want to be more independent.” Wei Jin folded his hands on his lap and sat down like the standard image of a palace woman. “There is still time. If you don't mind, my house is at school. You can come and drink a cup of hot tea.”

“Another day. I have class later.” Xia Wanyuan looked at the time. It's time to go.  He looked at the clothes in Wei Jin. “This dress, you look beautiful wearing it.”

“Thank you cousin. This dress is beautiful to start.” Although Wei Jin looked embarrassed, he kindly let Xia Wanyuan judge him. The set of clothes on her was the new model Xia Wanyuan designed for this season.

“This is my phone number. Anyway, we're partners now. If you have something, you can look for me directly.” Xia Wanyuan had a good impression of Wei Jin.

This was the first time he had met Xia Wanyuan. He was wearing a cheongsam personally designed by Xia Wanyuan. This had already most clearly expressed his good intentions towards Xia Wanyuan.

Xia Wanyuan felt that Wei Jin was indeed worthy of being the woman specifically chosen by Old Lady Wei from the Wei family headquarters to come to Beijing. He really showed the words “intelligent mind” completely.

“OK, cousin. Thank you.” Wei Jin took the note with both hands and smiled at Xia Wanyuan.

Xia Wanyuan had already walked a long way. Wei Jin took out his phone and recorded and saved the numbers one by one. Then, he folded the note and put it in his bag.

Looking at the time, Wei Jin took out a book from his bag and sat on a stone bench to read quietly.

A light breeze blew past him, only daring to lift a few strands of his hair, as if afraid of disturbing this beautiful scene.

The bell rang and Xia Wanyuan walked into the classroom.

That was a little weird today. Yu Qian actually came to the classroom alone. An Lin, who had always sat beside her and wished she could stick to her every day, did not come today. Xia Wanyuan glanced at him from the corner of her eyes and continued her class as usual.

Yu Qian opened the book and listened to Xia Wanyuan's class seriously.

Amidst the lesson, Yu Qian's phone shook.

Yu Qian picked it up and looked at it. “Senior, look, I . What should I do?”

The corner of Yu Qian's lips curved into a smile as she replied An Lin, “Rest and give birth.”

Then, Yu Qian turned off her phone and continued listening to Xia Wanyuan's class.

While Xia Wanyuan was secretly attending class, news of him burst out again on the Internet.
