Chapter 853: First Meeting with the Beautiful Cousin

Xia Wanyuan sat in the car and wanted to bend down to take off her shoes. After standing for the entire night, her feet were a little sore.

Only then did Jun Shiling retract his gaze from Yu Qian and stop Xia Wanyuan. He placed Xia Wanyuan’s feet on his lap and gently untied her laces.

In order to match the fishtail dress, the heels Xia Wanyuan was wearing today were thin and tall. After standing like this for four to five hours, there were some red marks on her ankles.

Jun Shiling’s eyes were filled with heartache. He held Xia Wanyuan’s ankle and massaged it for her. “Didn’t we agree not to care about the Wei family for the time being?”

“It was an impulse.” Xia Wanyuan relaxed and leaned back in her seat. “So be it. Even if there’s a problem, don’t we still have you, CEO Jun?”

Hearing Xia Wanyuan’s words, Jun Shiling smiled. “It’s okay even if you make the Wei family bankrupt. I’m your support. Don’t worry.”

Xia Wanyuan’s eyes curved into crescents. Her leg was being massaged by Jun Shiling, and she had been walking around the banquet hall at night. Xia Wanyuan was really tired, so she fell asleep not long after and leaned on Jun Shiling’s shoulder.

Sensing the small weight on his shoulder, Jun Shiling turned his head and glanced at her. Xia Wanyuan’s face was so small that he could wrap it with his hand. However, such a small body contained such a huge energy.

Jun Shiling adjusted his posture to make Xia Wanyuan lean more comfortably, and his actions became lighter.

The neon lights outside the window flickered. In the car, the gentle-eyed Jun Shiling planted a kiss on the sleeping Xia Wanyuan’s forehead.

——

The Wei family had always kept a low profile and usually did not let their news appear in the eyes of the outside world.

To the ordinary people, this banquet could not be seen at all. However, in the circle in Beijing, it caused a storm.

Old Madam Wei’s attitude towards her granddaughter, Xia Wanyuan, was really strange. Furthermore, everyone was even more surprised that this young lady, who had never appeared in the capital’s circle, could move freely between so many people.

However, no matter what the outside world guessed, the Wei family fell silent and did not leak any news.

After only playing outside for two days, Xia Wanyuan felt that everything had piled up again.

The production team’s matters had come to an end, but it was very busy in school. In order to snatch Xia Wanyuan’s time, the director of the Arts and Literature departments fought enthusiastically in the office.

In order not to be implicated by the department heads’ argument, Xia Wanyuan took her lesson plan and found a quiet garden to read and take notes.

The morning sun was warm and dispersed the coldness of the autumn sun.

After preparing for her morning classes, Xia Wanyuan closed her notebook, looked at the time, and called. “Hello, I’m in the little garden.”

Not long after, footsteps came from afar. Xia Wanyuan looked up, her eyes shining.

A woman in a sky-blue cheongsam was slowly walking over. The cheongsam was filled with orchids that outlined the woman’s graceful figure.

Her skin was like jade, and she seemed as light as the clouds.

Like an orchid that had been enshrouded in the misty rain of Jiangnan for the entire season, it carried the gentleness of the south and unfolded a serene ink painting in front of Xia Wanyuan.

The woman spoke softly with a hint of clarity. “Hello, cousin. I’m Wei Jin.”

“It’s good to see you.” Xia Wanyuan pointed at the stone stool beside her. “Sit for a while. You don’t have classes now, right?”

“I’m ashamed to say this. I’m not talented like you. I’m only a lecturer now. I’m new and haven’t had many classes arranged.” Wei Jin spoke slowly like a gurgling mountain spring, making people relax and feel comfortable.

The way she looked at Xia Wanyuan had a hint of reverence and passion that was not excessive. She stood upright like a bamboo pine, and her every move had the style of a noble lady.

Xia Wanyuan praised her in her heart. In the current era, a person like Wei Jin, who seemed to have walked out of an ancient book, could actually be raised. Even in her previous life, her temperament could only be raised by aristocrats.

“Is this your first time in Beijing? Are you used to it?” Perhaps because of her temperament, Xia Wanyuan had a good impression of Wei Jin and asked in concern.

“It’s pretty good.” Wei Jin nodded, her eyes shining. “I like the atmosphere of the Qing University very much.”

“Why don’t you stay in the Wei family’s courtyard?” Xia Wanyuan had just learned of it. Wei Jin rejected Old Madam Wei’s invitation and insisted on staying in school herself.

“My family has always been the one taking care of me. It’s my first time working abroad, so I want to be more independent.” Wei Jin folded her hands on his lap and sat like a standard picture of a court lady. “There’s still time. If you don’t mind, my house is in school. You can come and have a cup of hot tea.”

“Another day. I have classes later.” Xia Wanyuan looked at the time. It’s time to go over. She looked at the clothes on Wei Jin. “This dress, you look beautiful in it.”

“Thank you, Cousin. This dress is beautiful to begin with.” Even though Wei Jin looked shy, she graciously allowed Xia Wanyuan to size her up. The set of clothes on her was the new model that Xia Wanyuan had designed for this season.

“This is my phone number. Anyway, we’re colleagues now. If you have anything, you can look for me directly.” Xia Wanyuan had a good impression of Wei Jin.

It was the first time she had met Xia Wanyuan. She was wearing a cheongsam that Xia Wanyuan had personally designed. This had already most clearly expressed her goodwill towards Xia Wanyuan.

Xia Wanyuan felt that Wei Jin was indeed worthy of being the woman Old Madam Wei had specially picked from the Wei family’s headquarters to come to Beijing. She had truly displayed the words “intelligent mind” to the fullest.

“Okay, cousin. Thank you.” Wei Jin took the note with both hands and smiled at Xia Wanyuan.

Xia Wanyuan had already walked far away. Wei Jin took out her phone and recorded and saved the numbers one by one. Then, she folded the note and placed it in her bag.

Looking at the time, Wei Jin took out a book from her bag and sat on the stone stool to read quietly.

A gentle breeze blew past, only daring to lift a few strands of her hair, as if afraid of disturbing this picturesque scene.

The bell rang and Xia Wanyuan walked into the classroom.

It was a little strange today. Yu Qian had actually come to class alone. An Lin, who had always sat beside him and wished she could stick to him every day, did not come today. Xia Wanyuan glanced at him from the corner of her eyes and continued with her class as usual.

Yu Qian flipped open the book and listened to Xia Wanyuan’s class seriously.

Halfway through the lesson, Yu Qian’s phone vibrated.

Yu Qian picked it up and took a look. “Senior, look, I’m pregnant. What should I do?”

The corners of Yu Qian’s lips curled up into a smile as he replied to An Lin, “Rest well and give birth.”

Then, Yu Qian switched off his phone and continued to listen to Xia Wanyuan’s class.

While Xia Wanyuan was quietly attending classes, the news about her exploded again on the Internet.
