Princess is Glamorous in Modern Day

Jun Shiling waved his hand and restrained his coldness. He sat on a military helicopter that had been waiting for him and gradually disappeared into the mountains.

Xia Wanyuan woke up in the morning and pushed open the door to take a look.

“Madam, Young Master left last night.” Uncle Wang stepped forward and explained.

“Okay.” Xia Wanyuan nodded.

During breakfast, although Xia Wanyuan’s expression remained the same, Uncle Wang noticed that her appetite had shrunk by half. The food in front of her was barely touched.

After eating, Xiao Bao was sent to school, and Xia Wanyuan went to the production team to officially hold the opening ceremony.

With the injection of funds from the Jun Corporation, Li Heng’s actions were very fast. All the actors were already in position, and the props and scenes were progressing methodically.

After the opening ceremony, Li Heng gathered everyone together to get to know each other. Since the setting of the studio had not been completed, the director gave everyone five days off to study the script.

Xia Wanyuan had originally thought that she would have to enter the production team to film after the opening ceremony. Who would have thought that she would have five more days of leave for no reason and would have a lot of time?

Xia Wanyuan was thinking about how to arrange the next five days when she received a call from Shen Qian.

Xia Wanyuan got the chauffeur to send her to the company.

“What’s wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?” Xia Wanyuan sat on the chair and took the document from Shen Qian.

“Our construction team dug a large limestone cave during the construction project. According to the research of the higher-ups, it is very rare and precious, so we need to protect the Falling Phoenix Mountain where the limestone cave is. However, the main part of our project is on the Falling Phoenix Mountain. With this protection, our project will be especially affected.”

Shen Qian also sent people to negotiate a few times, but the local department’s attitude was very unyielding. They refused to give in, so Shen Qian could only give up.

Looking at the Moon Mountain project in her hand, Xia Wanyuan thought for a while and suddenly said, “I’ll go and take a look myself.”

Anyway, she still had five days before she entered the production team. She had originally planned to go to the Moon Mountain project after Old Master’s birthday, so it was not a bad idea to go early.

“That’s great.” Shen Qian nodded happily. If Xia Wanyuan went personally, this matter would definitely be resolved very well.

Xia Wanyuan returned to the manor and called the Old Master to put Xiao Bao in foster care. The Old Master readily agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Xia Wanyuan could not help but look at her call logs.

It was blank.

It was already the next evening. It had been almost twenty hours since Jun Shiling left, but Jun Shiling had not called or sent her a single text.

Why did he say that he missed me? Hmph.

A hint of disappointment flashed across Xia Wanyuan’s heart.

At that moment, in the depths of Continent F, Jun Shiling was sitting in the command center, looking at the infrared signals on the screen. Every point on the screen represented traces of the underground kingdom’s activities.

Jun Shiling watched quietly for a while before suddenly pointing at a small dot in the upper right corner. “Focus on this city. Have you discussed with the military?”

“We’ve already informed them. The military will do their best to make peace.”

“Mm, continue to search for the location of the laboratory for Poison Scorpion,” Jun Shiling said as he stood up and walked to the glass corridor outside.

Looking out of the glass corridor, there was a deep cliff that stretched as far as the eye could see. There was no conventional signal in the command room built two thousand meters underground. Jun Shiling took out his phone and looked at the table.

This was a photo of Xia Wanyuan in her life. She was wearing an apricot white shoulder knitted shirt, and she was curled up on the sofa, looking warm and gentle. When Jun Shiling looked at this photo, his expression softened.

Bo Xiao, who was wearing a white lab coat and gloves, walked over. “From your expression, I think you miss sister-in-law.”

Jun Shiling put away his phone and glanced at Bo Xiao coldly. “Is the results out?”

“If I do it, will there be anything that can’t come out?” Bo Xiao waved the small bag in his hand in front of Jun Shiling. “I’ve found it. My initial guess is that this Old K might have gone to China personally.”

“Besides,” Bo Xiao couldn’t believe the conclusion he had found. “After analyzing the sequence of that strand of hair, Old K is likely dead. The new successor, KING, is actually a young man no older than 25 years old.”

Hearing Bo Xiao’s words, Jun Shiling fell into deep thought. There was a black hole outside the glass, roaring as it tried to swallow the only light in the depths of the earth.

However, Jun Shiling stood there quietly with a calming force. It was as if no matter how the darkness roared, it could not shake the light behind Jun Shiling at all.

——

Xia Wanyuan tossed and turned on the bed for a long time, but she still couldn’t fall asleep. She subconsciously glanced at her phone, but there was still no news.

Xia Wanyuan buried herself in the blanket. Out of sight, out of mind.

Ding Ling

Her phone suddenly rang. Xia Wanyuan reached out to take the phone. The words’ Jun Shiling ‘flashed on it.

Xia Wanyuan pressed the answer button.

“Hello?” Jun Shiling’s deep voice came from the phone. Xia Wanyuan suddenly felt as if she had not heard Jun Shiling speak for a long time.

“Mm,” Xia Wanyuan replied softly.

“I missed you.” Jun Shiling’s voice, filled with strong longing, smashed into Xia Wanyuan’s heart.

“Mm.”

“Did you miss me?” Because of the signal restriction and the privacy restrictions, it was already extremely difficult for Jun Shiling to call Xia Wanyuan, let alone make a video call. Although he could not see Xia Wanyuan’s face, Jun Shiling could imagine how Xia Wanyuan had blushed from his words.

“Mm,” Xia Wanyuan replied softly.

“Although…” Jun Shiling did not expect Xia Wanyuan’s answer to be this. He originally wanted to say “although you don’t miss me, I miss you” but he swallowed it back.

Jun Shiling lowered his voice as if he was afraid of scaring Xia Wanyuan. “Say it again. I didn’t hear you clearly. Did you miss me?”

Xia Wanyuan was already a little shy. Hearing Jun Shiling’s gentle voice as he coaxed a child, her face, which was buried under the blanket, turned even redder. Only then did she realize what she had just said.

“Be good. Can you say it again? Did you miss me?” Jun Shiling’s tone became even gentler, so gentle that water was about to drip from it.

“Mm, I missed you.” Although Xia Wanyuan was embarrassed, she did not want to lie. There had been no news of Jun Shiling for more than twenty hours, so she naturally missed him.

The breathing on the other end of the line suddenly increased, and both sides fell silent. It was so quiet that only the sound of electricity could be heard.

“You’re really my ancestor.” After a while, Jun Shiling’s voice was hoarse, as if he had to exert a lot of strength to control his emotions.
