However, no one cared about Xia Yu’s resistance.
“Jun Yin will come back with me tonight, he still has school tomorrow.” Jun Shiling looked unhappily at Xiao Bao, who was clinging onto Xia Wanyuan.
Knowing that she would be leaving very early tomorrow, Xia Wanyuan nodded in agreement.
“But I want to sleep with Mommy.” Upon knowing that he was going to be separated from Xia Wanyuan, tears slowly welled up in Xiao Bao’s eyes. He couldn’t bear to part with Mommy. A few anguished sobs burst out of his trembling lips.
Xia Yu looked at Xiao Bao’s crying face and gloated inwardly.?‘That little devil is going to be punished by his father.’
“Stop fooling around. You have school tomorrow. Let’s go.”
Jun Shiling walked up 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 gloating expression changed immediately. “I... Can’t I go tomorrow?”
Jun Shiling glanced at Xia Wanyuan’s exposed legs, which were as fair as an exquisite piece of jade, and felt an inexplicable surge of anger.
“Either you leave now or you don’t go at all.”
Xia Wanyuan didn’t know why Jun Shiling was angry, but she still tried to ease the atmosphere by persuading Xia Yu.
“It’s alright, go with him and help take care of Xiao Bao. I have to go out very early tomorrow.”
Whatever struggles he had were futile. In the end, Jun Shiling held Xiao Bao’s hand and left the apartment with Xia Yu, whose face was as wrinkled as a bun.
The boisterous house suddenly quieted down. Xia Wanyuan sat on the carpet, holding a cup of tea as she looked out the window. The modern city was unlike the ancient times where everywhere would be closed once night fell. At night, the modern city lit up with countless neon lights, giving it a unique charm.
As she looked out the window at the myriad of lights outside, Xia Wanyuan began to miss the little dumpling that had always clung to her. She wondered if they had arrived safely.
At this moment, the phone vibrated, and the screen showed a flashing black profile picture with a few stars on it.
The caller ID displayed one word, “Jun”.
Before Xiao Bao left, he was especially reluctant to part with Xia Wanyuan, so she had promised him a video call to coax him to sleep. It seemed that they had reached home safely.Điscover new chapters at novelhall.com
All that was left in the image was a clean and exquisite side profile. Her hair was scattered messily on the pillow. Xia Wanyuan’s long eyelashes were like a small arc fan, casting a shadow on her lower eyelids.
Jun Shiling was dazzled. 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 unconsciously, as though he 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 a source of warmth, Xiao Bao’s arms and legs wrapped around him.
It took him by surprise. Jun Shiling, who had never been so close to anyone before, froze for a moment. After a while, he reached out and hugged the soft little dumpling who was not even half his height.
The man’s heart swelled with warmth as he took in the warm, milky scent emanating from the little dumpling’s body. That was the natural bond that came with being related by blood.
The night finally quieted down.
...
They were supposed to meet at the airport at half-past eight in the morning. However, considering Xia Wanyuan’s usual lazy habits, she probably wouldn’t come until nine o’clock. Hence, Chen Yun ate leisurely before arriving at the airport.
Unexpectedly, the moment he entered the VIP room, he saw Xia Wanyuan sitting quietly on a chair with sunglasses on, drinking tea.
She was wearing a white floral print shirt and a pair of white tight-fitting pants that made her legs look as slender as a pair of bamboo chopsticks. She also wore a pink windbreaker with long flower petals sleeves and a long belt around her waist, which made her look like a budding flower.
“...”
He knew that Xia Wanyuan was beautiful and she had always liked bold colors and a flamboyant style. After a long time, he had already gotten used to her style.
However, the current Xia Wanyuan, although dressed in such a relatively monotonous color, was as delicate and moving as a lotus in the rain, leaving one with an endless aftertaste.
“Hey, um, you’re here so early?” He felt a bit guilty. In addition, he was surprised by Xia Wanyuan’s sudden change in style. Chen Yun approached her with some degree of embarrassment.
“Didn’t we agree to meet at half-past eight?”
“...” He didn’t know what to say.
“It’s about time, let’s go and check-in.”
Until they had boarded the plane, Xia Wanyuan was actually confused. After all, that was her first time going through ticket inspection and security checks. Fortunately, because the original owner of the body was lazy in the past, Chen Yun had to handle many things for her. Hence, no flaws were seen.
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 were piled outside the window like cotton candy. When she was still a little princess, she often asked her mother what was above the clouds. Her mother told her that it was a place for immortals to live.
Looking at the clouds outside the window now, Xia Wanyuan felt an inexplicable bitterness in her heart.
