Princess is Glamorous in Modern Day Chapter 1178 - The Princess Walks Into the
In the airport, Xiao Bao held Bo Xiao’s hand with an unhappy expression. “Daddy and Mommy aren’t bringing me.”
Bo Xiao smiled and pinched Xiao Bao’s face. “Why? Aren’t you happy living with me? Uncle Bo Xiao will be sad if you do this.”
Xiao Bao puffed up his cheeks and reached out to Bo Xiao, who picked him up.
Xiao Bao kissed Bo Xiao on the cheek. “No, let me secretly tell you, Uncle Bo Xiao that actually, I like you a little more than my father.”
Bo Xiao was amused by Xiao Bao. He kissed Xiao Bao’s pink face. “You’re filled with tricks. Uncle Bo Xiao will bring you to buy toys and then go home to play with your Auntie An Rao, okay?”
“Mm!” Bo Xiao gradually resolved the unhappiness of his parents leaving.
The Jiang family’s weekly family banquet time.
Father Jiang glanced at Jiang Yun. “How was your meal yesterday?”
Before Jiang Yun could speak, Jiang Kui spoke first. “Father, the second young master of the Lin family is very satisfied with Sister. He even personally brought Sister over this morning.”
Jiang Yun glanced at Jiang Kui and did not speak.
“I told your sister to say it. Why are you so nosy?” Father Jiang had also heard about Jiang Kui targeting Jiang Yun in the company. He looked at Jiang Kui in disappointment.
He really suspected that Jiang Kui and Jiang Yun’s genders had rebelled.
“Tell me.” Father Jiang looked at Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun took a sip of red wine, her cold face filled with calmness. Thinking of Lin Qingdai’s gentle face, Jiang Yun nodded. “Pretty good. Anyway, isn’t my marriage always held by you, Father?”
Only then was Mr. Jiang satisfied. “I hope you remember what you said today. Let me tell you, the Jiang family and the Jun family are enemies. If you dare to have any thoughts about Xia Wanyuan’s younger brother, I’ll deal with you.”
Jiang Yun felt that the red wine in her mouth was tasteless. She nodded. “Got it, Father.”
Jiang Kui watched from the side, gloating. He did not forget to make a sarcastic remark. “Father, my sister has a strong personality. Don’t drag the Jun family around when you’re engaged. If you do that, where will our Jiang family’s face go?”
Jiang Yun placed the wine glass on the table with a bang. She looked at Jiang Kui coldly. “Don’t go overboard.”
However, when he heard Jiang Kui’s words, Father Jiang was deep in thought.
Hence, after dinner, Father Jiang brought Jiang Yun to the ancestral hall in the backyard.
“Father?” Looking at the room full of tablets, Jiang Yun hesitated.
Come here.” Father Jiang waved at Jiang Yun and made her stand in front of Jiang Yun’s mother’s memorial tablet.
Looking at her mother’s memorial tablet, the corners of Jiang Yun’s eyes turned red.
“Do you know how your mother died? Do you know why the Jun family and the Jiang family have an irreconcilable hatred? Back then, I suspect that your mother’s car accident was done by the Jun family.”
As soon as Father Jiang finished speaking, Jiang Yun suddenly looked at him. “How is that possible? Didn’t they say it was because the road was slippery because of the rain?”
Father Jiang reached out and threw a stack of documents in front of Jiang Yun. “It’s been so many years. Back then, the Jun family hid it well. They thought that I had already forgotten about this matter. They definitely didn’t expect that I had actually been investigating. Recently, I finally found out many things about it back then.”
Looking at the words on the information, Jiang Yun frowned.
Father Jiang glanced at Jiang Yun’s expression. “You and Jiang Kui should have a warm family. You don’t have to be sent overseas so early. Our family should have lived happily. If not for the Jun family, none of this would have happened.”
Jiang Yun lowered her head. “So, what do you want me to do, Father?”
Father Jiang stared at Jiang Yun. “I want you to swear never to have anything to do with the Jun family and the Xia family. If you break the oath, your mother will never be able to live in peace in the netherworld, and you will die a horrible death.”
“Father?!” Jiang Yun nodded abruptly and met Father Jiang’s unquestionable gaze.
“Say it!!” Mr. Jiang hated the Jun family to the core. He would not allow his daughter to have anything to do with them.
Jiang Yun clenched her fists tightly. Jiang Yun, who was usually strong, her eyes were slightly red.
“If you don’t swear in front of your mother’s memorial tablet today, then you’ll never be my daughter again.” Father Jiang stared into Jiang Yun’s eyes and pointed at Jiang Yun’s mother’s memorial tablet.
Jiang Yun looked at her mother’s memorial tablet in front of her and thought of Xia Yu. She suddenly felt that it was ridiculous.
After all, she had hurt Xia Yu so much back then. Xia Yu must have hated her to the core.
Jiang Yun hardened her heart. “I swear that I will never have anything to do with the Jun family.”
“Alright, get up.” Mr. Jiang was satisfied. “Remember what you said today.”
Jiang Yun lowered her head, thinking about something.
Father Jiang softened his attitude. “Daughter, I’m not an unreasonable person. Let me ask you, what’s the character of that Second Young Master Lin? Be honest.”
“Pretty good,” Jiang Yun said after a while.
“I handpicked your husband, of course he’s good.” Father Jiang tried to soften Jiang Yun’s attitude. “As a daughter of an aristocratic family, you have the heavy responsibility of the family’s future. I hope that you won’t let me down.”
“I understand, Father.” Jiang Yun nodded.
“Alright, go.” Only then did Father Jiang pat Jiang Yun’s shoulder in satisfaction and smile at her.
Jiang Yun walked out. In the living room, Jiang Kui looked at Jiang Yun calmly. “Sister, you’re leaving already? Aren’t you staying a while longer? You won’t have a chance to stay at home when you get married in the future.”
Jiang Yun looked at Jiang Kui coldly. “Don’t think I don’t know who’s adding fuel to the fire behind my marriage.”
“It’s only right for a brother to care about his sister.” Jiang Kui raised an eyebrow at Jiang Yun. “Sister, you don’t have to thank me.”
Jiang Yun picked up her bag and walked out.
Just as she walked out of the door, she saw a car parked not far away.
Seeing Jiang Yun come out, Lin Qingdai got out of the car and walked towards Jiang Yun. “Miss Jiang.”
Jiang Yun restrained the expression on her face and nodded at Lin Qingdai. “Just call me Jiang Yun. Didn’t I say that you don’t have to pick me up?”
Lin Qingdai’s ears flushed red. “But you’re wearing high heels, so it’s always inconvenient to drive. It’s fine. Anyway, I’m idle in Beijing.”
“Alright, thank you.” Jiang Yun smiled and got into the car.
Sensing that Jiang Yun was not in a good mood, Lin Qingdai did not speak much to her.
The car was very quiet the entire way. Only the sound of the wind hitting the window could be heard.
Lin Qingdai occasionally glanced at Jiang Yun from the rearview mirror and saw her lonely eyes.
For some reason, Lin Qingdai’s heart ached slightly when he saw her like this.
He finally sent Jiang Yun to the company.
Lin Qingdai opened the car door for Jiang Yun. “I’ll pick you up after work.”
Jiang Yun shook her head. “No need. It’s too much trouble for you.”
Lin Qingdai looked at Jiang Yun very seriously. “Originally, these words were very abrupt, but I want to say that since we’re already preparing to get engaged, I also treat you as my family. I don’t think it’s very troublesome.”
Looking at Lin Qingdai’s serious gaze, Jiang Yun could not help but look away. “Alright, as you wish.”
“Okay, I’ll pick you up after work.” A smile appeared in Lin Qingdai’s eyes.
Looking at Lin Qingdai’s handsome face, Jiang Yun forced a smile before turning to leave.

At this moment, in Continent F, because of Lin Yi’s question, the originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly became very silent.
Even in the darkness, Lin Yi could feel the disappointment and unhappiness on Xia Yu’s face.
She was really curious about what the girl Xia Yu liked and missed looked like, but she was not prepared to ask. After all, looking at Xia Yu, he did not intend to say anything at all.
Stone was the first to be unable to stand this silent atmosphere. He jumped out and held Xia Yu’s hand. “Brother Xia Yu, you said just now that you would treat us to delicious food. Is that true?”
Xia Yu pulled himself out of his emotions and looked down at Stone. “Of course.”
Stone shook Xia Yu’s arm. “When we leave this place, bring me and Sister Lin Yi. Let’s eat delicious food together, okay?”
Xia Yu looked up at Lin Yi. In the night, Lin Yi’s eyes were immersed in the moonlight in the desert, shining brightly and gently.
Xia Yu nodded. “Okay, I promise you.”
At that moment, a light suddenly appeared in the dark sky.
Xia Yu was the first to notice the light. He pulled Lin Yi and Stone’s hands and quickly hid in a withered cactus forest.
“Shh, don’t make a sound.” Xia Yu stopped Stone’s struggle with his eyes.
The helicopter’s searchlight was in the sky, clearing the way for the SUV on the ground.
On the road not far away, a group of SUVs slowly drove past.
When the searchlight shone through the car window, Xia Yu’s eyes turned cold.
He frowned in confusion.
Just as Xia Yu was about to see if it was Wei Zimu, the searchlight swept over. Xia Yu hurriedly retracted his head and hid behind the cactus.
The helicopter rumbled forward, and the SUV followed below.
Seeing that the convoy was about to cross the cactus forest, Xia Yu heaved a sigh of relief.
However, under the cactus, a snake that had been circling for a long time finally opened its eyes.
Xia Yu sensed that Stone was struggling violently and frowned as he looked at him. He realized that in front of Stone, a gray snake was sticking its tongue out at them.
Xia Yu recognized at a glance that this was the most poisonous snake in the desert. One bite was enough to kill them.
He decisively threw Lin Yi and the stone back, then took the knife beside his leg and stabbed the snake seven inches.
The snake was dead,
However, the commotion here was also captured by the infrared detector on the helicopter.
The convoy that had already walked far away immediately rushed over.
In this endless desert with almost no cover, Xia Yu and the rest could not leave even if they wanted to.
Fortunately, they had already changed their clothes before leaving the city. Now, they looked like fugitives who had been forced to leave home because of the war.
The convoy surrounded Xia Yu and the rest. The bright car lights illuminated Xia Yu and the rest. A large group of people got out of the car with guns in their hands, as if they were going to finish them off here at any time.
“Brother Xia Yu.” Although this was not the first time he had faced such a scene, the fear of death still made Stone very afraid. He held Xia Yu’s hand tightly.
Xia Yu was actually afraid. In Continent F, there were no laws or morals. There were only lives that were more worthless than grass.
He gave Lin Yi a look, and Lin Yi immediately understood. She raised her hands, and so did Xia Yu. Then, he tore off a piece of Lin Yi’s white shirt and waved at the other party.
The crowd around them did not dissipate, as if they were waiting for someone’s order.
“Report, there are suspicious people in front. Do you want to settle them directly?” The subordinate walked to the car window and reported to the person inside.
The car window was rolled down, revealing Wei Zimu’s handsome and elegant face.
“Bring them over.”
“Yes.”
Soon, a group of people brought Xia Yu and the rest to the car with guns.
The moment Xia Yu looked up and saw Wei Zimu, his pupils constricted.
He knew that Wei Zimu and Xia Wanyuan had a good relationship, and the smile on his face had already appeared.
At this moment, Wei Zimu suddenly spoke. His expression was cold, as if he had never known Xia Yu. “Chinese?”
Xia Yu was extremely smart. He immediately pretended not to know Wei Zimu. “Yes.”
“What are you doing here?”
Xia Yu glanced at Lin Yi. “I originally brought my wife and child to visit my family. After the war, I lost my passport and everything. I can’t return to China.”
After hearing his words, Wei Zimu glanced at Xia Yu. “What’s your name?”
“Lin Yu,” Xia Yu said to Wei Zimu.
“Alright, they’re just unimportant passers-by. Ignore them. Let’s go.” Wei Zimu retracted his gaze from Xia Yu and gave his subordinate an order.
“Yes.” Now that Wei Zimu was a firm person in the team, no one objected to Wei Zimu’s words.
Watching the convoy leave, Lin Yi heaved a sigh of relief. “Fortunately, we were lucky to meet the Chinese.”
However, before she could finish speaking, the convoy not far away suddenly turned around and surrounded Xia Yu and the rest again.
Wei Zimu leaned against the car window and glanced at Xia Yu. “He’s the person we’re looking for. Capture him.”
Xia Yu’s expression turned cold as he looked at Wei Zimu.
However, Wei Zimu completely ignored Xia Yu’s gaze and only gestured for everyone to take Xia Yu and the rest away.
After a cloud of dust, the desert regained its peace, as if no one had ever appeared in this place.
——
After more than ten hours of flight, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling finally arrived in Continent M.
It had been about half a year since he last came to America.
It was spring in America and the weather was good. Xia Wanyuan had been cooped up in the plane for more than ten hours. Now that she saw the blue sky, her mood was much better.
Xia Wanyuan stretched. “It’s so tiring to fly.”
Jun Shiling pulled her hand over and massaged it for her, but Xia Wanyuan slapped it away. “Don’t touch me outside.”
Jun Shiling glanced at Xia Wanyuan, his eyes clearly indicating that he disagreed. “Since when do I need to wait for the right time to hug my wife?”
Xia Wanyuan glared at him. “If you mess around again, you’re not allowed to follow me for the next few days.”
“…” Jun Shiling sighed.
Jun Shiling could only maintain a distance from his wife like a gentleman. The two of them walked out of the airport and the car that had been arranged was already waiting by the roadside.
It was still the castle where he lived when he participated in the painting competition.
The butler saw Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling walk over together and smiled kindly.
Because this was the second time they had come, everyone already knew Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling’s habits better.
Xia Wanyuan had just changed her clothes when the fruit salad was brought to her.
“The program recording is at night.” Xia Wanyuan ate her salad as she walked towards Jun Shiling. “If you’re not free, I’ll go myself.”
Jun Shiling looked up. “I want to go.”
“Okay.” Xia Wanyuan yawned and sat on the sofa, but Jun Shiling’s hand had already wrapped around her.
Holding Xia Wanyuan down as she wanted to struggle, Jun Shiling tasted the half-eaten salad in Xia Wanyuan’s hand. “Didn’t you say not to mess around outside? We’re at home now. Aren’t you letting me hug you?”
Xia Wanyuan glanced at Jun Shiling angrily. “Why are you hugging me every day?”
Jun Shiling scratched her waist. “Is it illegal to hug your wife?”
Xia Wanyuan shrank back from his scratch, and a smile appeared in her eyes.
Jun Shiling scratched again. “Huh? Is it illegal?”
Xia Wanyuan was most afraid of tickles. She smiled and replied, “Okay, okay, okay. It’s not illegal.”
Only then did Jun Shiling hug her in satisfaction. “What time tonight?”
“Seven, so we’ll leave at five.”
“Okay.”
After dinner, Xia Wanyuan got up to change after a nap.
Jun Shiling was originally reading documents. When he heard Xia Wanyuan coming downstairs, he looked up and his eyes froze.
Actually, Jun Shiling had never seen Xia Wanyuan officially wear ancient clothes.
Every time he went to pick Xia Wanyuan up from the set, she would already be changed.
At this moment, Xia Wanyuan was wearing a green collared dress.
Exquisite embroidery flowed with a layer of water on the satin. On the wide skirt, there were auspicious clouds spread out, as prosperous as brocade.
Xia Wanyuan’s hair was tied up behind her head with a jade hairpin. Her perfect facial features were incomparably beautiful under the beautiful dress.
Xia Wanyuan was usually used to being casual. Now that she was suddenly dressed so gorgeously, Jun Shiling was momentarily speechless.
Perhaps because of Xia Wanyuan’s identity, she was especially suitable to wear ancient clothes.
Especially when she wore a dignified dress with a collar, her temperament became very special.
Although she was standing on the stairs in the Western architectural style, she had changed everything around her with her personal temperament, as if she was in a palace from a thousand years ago.
“What’s wrong?” Seeing that Jun Shiling was staring at her, Xia Wanyuan lowered her head to take a look. “Don’t my clothes look good? I modified them and got someon
