Chapter 1178: The Princess Walks Into the World

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

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. If only Jiang Kui had Jiang Yun’s personality. 

“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.

Actually, I have nothing to insist on, right? 

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.

Why did that elegant side profile look so much like the Wei Zimu I had seen before? 

But wasn’t Wei Zimu in Beijing? Why was he here? 

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.

Sigh, it was hard to convince a stubborn wife. 

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 someone to embroider two layers of clouds.”

“Very beautiful.” The shock in Jun Shiling’s eyes had not disappeared. He felt it from the bottom of his heart. “Why do I feel that I don’t get tired of you? You’re always more beautiful every time.”

Although they were already an old couple, Xia Wanyuan could not deal with Jun Shiling’s praises. Her cheeks flushed red. “Can you be more serious?”

The powder on her face happened to match the light-colored flowers on her body. At that moment, Jun Shiling seemed to see endless spring and vitality on Xia Wanyuan.

When he reacted, Jun Shiling was a little jealous. “You always have to dress so well on shows.”

Xia Wanyuan took a pillow from the side and threw it at Jun Shiling. “If you continue fooling around, I’ll go myself.”

A hint of bitterness appeared in Jun Shiling’s eyes. He smiled and stood up. “Sigh, who asked me to be afraid of my wife? Let’s go, my dear wife.”

Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan’s hand and walked out. Even the servants passing by were inevitably stunned by Xia Wanyuan.

At this moment, the American television station was already prepared to record a program.

During this period of time, Xia Wanyuan was considered a popular person overseas.

Knowing that she would participate in the recording of this episode, everyone was already waiting in the live-stream.

[Coming, coming, coming. Chinese netizens are here to report!!! Yuan Yuan, you can do it! You’re the best!]

[ Howl! Goddess, I love you. I’m from a very small country in Continent F, but that doesn’t stop me from being attracted to you. ]

[Hehe, thief simida, trash Xia Wanyuan, you only know how to steal from us.]

Before Xia Wanyuan appeared, the comments had already begun to argue.

The netizens on both sides were evenly matched, and the comments were overturned.

At this moment, the familiar program began.

The host sat in front of the stage. “Welcome to today’s program. I believe everyone is looking forward to it. During this period of time, a female celebrity from China has shared some Chinese videos on FINS, causing everyone to discuss fervently. Today, we invited Xia Wanyuan to the venue and asked her to share some Chinese culture with us. Everyone, welcome.”

As soon as the host finished speaking, a familiar music sounded. A figure slowly walked up from backstage.

It was not an exaggeration to say that the people in the studio were stunned.

As people from America, if they did not deliberately watch the news in China, they would not understand who Xia Wanyuan was.

This was the first time many people had seen Xia Wanyuan in person, including the host.

They looked at Xia Wanyuan’s clothes. Although they did not know what she was wearing, she looked really beautiful.

Xia Wanyuan’s perfect facial features seemed to light up the entire studio.

The host searched for a long time and finally found his voice.

“Oh my god, I think I can understand why so many people like you.”

The host approached Xia Wanyuan and smiled at her.

He even wanted to hug Xia Wanyuan.

At this moment, a cough came from the middle of the first row of the studio.

The host finally calmed down and retracted his hand that was about to hug Xia Wanyuan.

The first row in the middle was for big shots. He understood.

[Although the camera isn’t on the audience, I’m guessing blindly that this cough came from CEO Jun. Hahahaha.]

[I’m dying of laughter. CEO Jun, I’m already sitting here. How dare you hug my wife? Are you tired of living?]

[The host still doesn’t know that he has just brushed past death, 233,333.]

On the stage, the host brought Xia Wanyuan to sit down. “Do you know? During this period of time, your video has caused a heated discussion on FINS. Many netizens are interested in the video you posted. Can you communicate with us and tell us why you did this?”

The host used english, and Xia Wanyuan replied in extremely fluent english. The translator the production team had specially prepared for her was completely useless.

Xia Wanyuan pointed at the big screen behind the host. “It’s mainly because I like it. I brought some photos and videos. We can take a look together.”

With that, Xia Wanyuan began to explain the various materials she used to make these videos.

Although Xia Wanyuan was talking about the lantern festival, she had mastered it and mentioned all aspects of China.

Xia Wanyuan sat there demurely, her body exuding an obvious classical aura that even foreigners could feel.

However, she spoke fluent English again and spoke confidently to the people in the studio. The content she spoke involved all aspects of politics, economics, culture, and society, as if there was nothing she could not do.

The host’s eyes lit up at the side.

He had been a host for so many years, but this was the first time he had seen someone like Xia Wanyuan. She made one feel as if the sea contained all rivers.

The host asked Xia Wanyuan according to the established question. At this moment, he admired Xia Wanyuan from the bottom of his heart.

Many foreign people did not know China well, and they did not have any channels to understand it in the past.

At that moment, Xia Wanyuan was standing in front of them.

The impression Xia Wanyuan gave them was that of China to a certain extent.

Hence, in the hearts of many viewers who did not know China, they subconsciously labeled China.

For example, history, beauty, atmosphere, classical, and the hundred rivers.

These were all extracted from Xia Wanyuan.

[Are all the girls in China so beautiful? I’m so curious. What kind of place will have such a woman? I’ve decided to go to China next summer.]

[To be honest, my impression of China is still of those old movies where people roll up their pants and plant seedlings in the mud. However, Xia Wanyuan seems to be telling me that my impression is actually wrong.]

[ Wow, I’m so touched. Xia Wanyuan has really made us proud. This is the most magnanimous woman nurtured by my deep Chinese culture. Oh my god, I love my goddess too much. ]

The audience in the live-stream kept increasing.

The program also reached the media interview segment.

The host looked at Xia Wanyuan, his eyes filled with approval for her. “Other than the audience being very curious about you, many media reporters also want to communicate with you. Next is the media interview segment. Do you need an interpreter?”

Xia Wanyuan shook her head. Jun Shiling knew more than ten common foreign languages and would usually teach her.

In addition, Xia Wanyuan’s learning ability was strong enough. Hence, the current Xia Wanyuan was no longer an old antique who could not even understand Xiao Bao’s English textbooks when she first arrived.

“Alright, then please start asking questions.”

At this moment, many reporters were sitting in the audience. Everyone fought to ask Xia Wanyuan questions.

Many reporters came here to obtain explosive news.

Hence, these reporters’ questions were not as gentle as the host’s. Many of them had strange hostility.

The second question was from a reporter from Country Han.

The current Xia Wanyuan was probably ranked in the top three in Han Country.

After all, if not for Xia Wanyuan’s video, Country Han’s Lantern Festival would have been successfully applied.

In addition, because of Xia Wanyuan’s existence, many Chinese netizens went to the foreign website to argue with Country Han’s netizens, causing the public opinion of Country Han and China to reach a very intense moment of conflict.

This reporter naturally hated Xia Wanyuan very much. She looked at the clothes on Xia Wanyuan. “Miss Xia, I want to ask you. The clothes you’re wearing seem to be a little similar to our Han Country’s traditional clothes. Do you like our Han Country’s traditional clothes?”

Hearing this question, Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow.

This reporter’s question was actually very ingenious. She had even dug a hole for Xia Wanyuan.

If it were anyone else, they might be in a dilemma, but Xia Wanyuan was very calm.

She glanced at the reporter. “I do like it.”

Just as she finished speaking, Xia Wanyuan smiled. “After all, I like Chinese traditional clothes.”
