Chapter 1552 - 1552 Separated for Three Years
1552 Separated for Three Years
“You… you…” When she had once followed her father to argue with the scholars in the royal court, Xia Wanyuan had never stuttered. However, at this moment, she could not say a word for a long time.
In the end, Xia Wanyuan said angrily, “Lecher.”
“Didn’t I tell you just now?” Jun Shiling’s eyes were smiling. “In a thousand years, you’ll be my wife.”
Xia Wanyuan’s face heated up as she tried to defend herself. “But now…”
!!“Since you’re destined to be my wife in the future, can’t I exercise my power in advance?” Jun Shiling’s eyes were smiling as he looked at Xia Wanyuan with obvious teasing.
At her age, when had Xia Wanyuan ever been treated like this? Now, she was both embarrassed and angry. “You said it was because we changed time and space. How do you know that it will still be the same in this era? Maybe we…”
Xia Wanyuan was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly stopped.
For some reason, Xia Wanyuan could not say the words “maybe we can’t be together at all”.
Jun Shiling’s eyes lit up slightly. “What about us?? Continue.”
Xia Wanyuan pursed her lips. “It’s nothing. Since you’re leaving, leave early. I’ll call Xia Wei and the rest now. You should prepare yourself too.”
With that, Xia Wanyuan was about to leave when Jun Shiling pulled her back.
The next second, Xia Wanyuan fell into a warm embrace.
Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan and rested his chin on her head. He smiled gently. “I know what you wanted to say just now and seem to understand why you couldn’t say that sentence.”
The royal family valued etiquette the most. Xia Wanyuan had never been so intimate with any man, not even with Xia Wei.
Beside her was Jun Shiling’s aura. Xia Wanyuan’s ears turned red. She subconsciously struggled. “Let go of me.”
Jun Shiling chuckled. “According to our laws, you’re still underage. I won’t do anything to you. I’ll just hug you for a while.”
Just for a while. It seemed like it had been a long time since I had hugged Xia Wanyuan like this.
It was unknown if it was because of Jun Shiling’s emotional tone or the gentle aura emanating from him, but Xia Wanyuan did not reject him and stayed quietly in Jun Shiling’s arms.
The sunlight leaked through the leaves, casting specks of shadows on the two of them. The breeze gently fluttered their sleeves, and it was harmonious and quiet.
After some time, Xia Wanyuan’s face was so red that it could not be seen anymore. She finally could not help but pull Jun Shiling’s sleeve. “Is that enough?”
Jun Shiling smiled and took a step back. His hands were still on Xia Wanyuan’s shoulders. “Look at me.”
Xia Wanyuan looked up slightly, almost melting from the warmth in Jun Shiling’s eyes.
“Wait for me to come back and look for you.”
“Okay.” Xia Wanyuan nodded. There were traces of heat spreading in her heart. Under Jun Shiling’s deep gaze, Xia Wanyuan could clearly feel her heart racing.
“Then I’ll go look for Xia Wei.”
“Mm.”
…-
Ever since he came here, Xia Wei had become his younger siblings’ teacher. Now, he was teaching his younger siblings to read.
“Xiao Yu, you didn’t write the word correctly.” Xia Wei frowned and looked at his younger brother’s words. He knocked his younger brother’s head with the book.
Xiao Yu was about to retort when she saw Jun Shiling standing at the door. He pointed at Jun Shiling. “Brother, is he here to look for you?”
Xia Wei understood Xia Wanyuan’s thoughts the most, so he was very awkward with Jun Shiling at this moment.
On the one hand, he knew that Jun Shiling was a good person and was here to help them.
On the other hand, he was brooding over Xia Wanyuan’s differential treatment of Jun Shiling.
Hmph, she’s such a good sister. No man is worthy of her.
“Come out for a while.” Jun Shiling waved at Xia Wei.
As Xia Wei said, “What are you doing here? You’re so annoying.” He put down his book and walked out.
After calling Xia Wei out, Jun Shiling went straight to the point and told him what had happened. “Leave with me now.”
Xia Wei did not know why he was following Jun Shiling, but he knew very well that danger must have come. His sister wanted to protect him.
“I won’t leave.” Xia Wei was still young, but there was already the look of an emperor between his eyebrows. “I want to stay and accompany Sister. You can take Xiao Qiao and Xiao Yu away. I’ll be wherever Sister is.”
Although Xia Wei did not obey him, Jun Shiling was very relieved.
Xia Wei was still the same Xia Wei. He could travel through layers of time and space for Xia Wanyuan or disregard his life for her.
“Then, I’ll leave your sister to you.” Jun Shiling nodded. “Take good care of her. Don’t tell anyone that I appeared.”
“Okay.”
It was already noon. The autumn sun hung high in the sky without any heat. On the path outside the city, Jun Shiling was driving a carriage with two young children in it.
After Xia Wanyuan bade farewell to her younger siblings, she pulled down the curtain and looked at Jun Shiling. “Be careful.”
Jun Shiling smiled. “Okay, wait for me.”
With that, Jun Shiling raised the whip rope and was about to leave when Xia Wanyuan took out a small sachet from somewhere and threw it into Jun Shiling’s arms.
Jun Shiling reached out to catch it. At that moment, the horse had already walked forward. Jun Shiling pulled the reins and looked back. Xia Wanyuan was standing elegantly under the tree.
Neither of them would have thought that they would be separated for three years just like this.
