Princess is Glamorous in Modern Day

Chapter 20: Put To Bed

However, no one cared about Xia Yu's resistance.

"Jun Yin will come back with me tonight, he still has school tomorrow." Jun Shiling looked unhappily at Xiao Bao, who was clinging onto Xia Wanyuan.

Knowing that she would be leaving very early tomorrow, Xia Wanyuan nodded in agreement.

"But I want to sleep with Mommy." Upon knowing that he was going to be separated from Xia Wanyuan, tears slowly welled up in Xiao Bao's eyes. He couldn't bear to part with Mommy. A few anguished sobs burst out of his trembling lips.

Xia Yu looked at Xiao Bao's crying face and gloated inwardly. 'That little devil is going to be punished by his father.'

"Stop fooling around. You have school tomorrow. Let's go."

Jun Shiling walked up and held Xiao Bao's hand. Just as he was about to leave, he stopped and looked at Xia Yu expressionlessly. "You too."

"..."

Xia Yu's gloating expression changed immediately. "I... Can't I go tomorrow?"

Jun Shiling glanced at Xia Wanyuan's exposed legs, which were as fair as an exquisite piece of jade, and felt an inexplicable surge of anger.

"Either you leave now or you don't go at all."

Xia Wanyuan didn't know why Jun Shiling was angry, but she still tried to ease the atmosphere by persuading Xia Yu.

"It's alright, go with him and help take care of Xiao Bao. I have to go out very early tomorrow."

Whatever struggles he had were futile. In the end, Jun Shiling held Xiao Bao's hand and left the apartment with Xia Yu, whose face was as wrinkled as a bun.

The boisterous house suddenly quieted down. Xia Wanyuan sat on the carpet, holding a cup of tea as she looked out the window. The modern city was unlike the ancient times where everywhere would be closed once night fell. At night, the modern city lit up with countless neon lights, giving it a unique charm.

As she looked out the window at the myriad of lights outside, Xia Wanyuan began to miss the little dumpling that had always clung to her. She wondered if they had arrived safely.

At this moment, the phone vibrated, and the screen showed a flashing black profile picture with a few stars on it.

The caller ID displayed one word, "Jun".

Before Xiao Bao left, he was especially reluctant to part with Xia Wanyuan, so she had promised him a video call to coax him to sleep. It seemed that they had reached home safely.

Xia Wanyuan smiled, put down the cup in her hand, and pressed the answer button.

"Mommy!"

A white and cuddly dumpling squeezed into the screen.

"Good boy. Have you showered?" Xia Wanyuan gently responded.

"Yes, Mommy. The auntie at home helped me take a bath. I smell so good now. Smell me!"

With that, Xiao Bao put his arm in front of the phone.

"Yes, you smell good." Xia Wanyuan's lips curled up at the child's adorable actions.

Beside Xiao Bao sat Jun Shiling, who was reading the documents on his computer seriously. However, although Xiao Bao had been chatting with Xia Wanyuan for almost fifteen minutes, he was still on the first page.

"Alright, it's time to sleep. You have to wake up early for school tomorrow."

A low and attractive male voice could be heard. Xia Wanyuan, who had wanted to talk to Xiao Bao for a while more, realized that it was already very late.
