Chapter 107: Sweet, Sweet Exchange of the Genuine Heart

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Seeing the loneliness in Xia Wanyuan’s eyes gradually dissipate, Jun Shiling’s mood seemed to relax a little.
Jun Shiling picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of hot tea, and handed it to Xia Wanyuan.
After drinking a mouthful of tea, warmth spread from her stomach to her surroundings. Xia Wanyuan’s gloomy mood was swept away.
“When did you start receiving training as the successor of the Jun Corporation?”
Xia Wanyuan asked curiously after hearing Jun Shiling mention it.
“Three years old.”
“So early?!” Xia Wanyuan was speechless. It was when he was about the same age as Xiao Bao.
When the Xia Dynasty was destroyed, she was fifteen years old. Before she was fifteen, she had a carefree and pampered childhood.
As a result, no matter how dangerous it was later on, there was still warmth left in her heart from her late parents. The golden years of her youth were the support of countless cold nights that accompanied her through the endless black roads.
“Yes, my parents passed away early. Grandpa had high hopes for me.” At the mention of his late parents, Jun Shiling’s voice was a little low.
Xia Wanyuan was afraid that Jun Shiling would be unhappy, so she hurriedly tried to divert his attention. “Then have you been as serious as you are now since you were three years old? Like a little adult.”
Xia Wanyuan had seen photos of Jun Shiling when he was young. Xiao Bao had practically replicated Jun Shiling’s childhood image.
Xia Wanyuan imagined the adorable little dumpling’s serious and old-fashioned expression. A smile appeared in her eyes, and it flickered with light.
Jun Shiling glanced at Xia Wanyuan’s smiling expression and naturally understood what she was thinking. A hint of helplessness flashed across his eyes.
“I was so young back then. How could I be like this? I just don’t like to talk, but I’m still very naughty.” Jun Shiling recalled the past with some emotions.
After Jun Shiling grew up, it was even more impossible for him to tell others what he looked like when he was young. When he became the leader of the Jun family, he stood at the peak of the era.
The news media in the outside world had deified him in all sorts of ways. The reports they wrote were all about Jun Shiling being literate at the age of three, reading Chinese characters at the age of four, learning astronomy and geography at the age of five or six, and he had successfully invested his first bucket of gold at the age of seven.
However, it was not that incredible. In the beginning, he was just a child. Now, other than his talent, his power and status could not be separated from his hard work day and night.
“How mischievous? Climbing a tree and looking for a bird? Teasing a teacher? Or fighting?” Xia Wanyuan was even more curious now. After all, the Jun Shiling in front of her now was an elegant gentleman with peerless elegance. She really couldn’t imagine how he would look when he was mischievous.
“At that time, I had too many missions and didn’t want to learn them. When the bodyguards weren’t paying attention, I climbed over the wall and slipped out to play for a day. Grandpa searched the entire capital but couldn’t find me. He was so anxious that he had to use his special relationship. In the end, it was the cleaning lady who found me sleeping in the corner of the back garden.”
When Jun Shiling recalled those distant memories, it was as if they were stories of someone else. Even Jun Shiling was surprised that there was such a mischievous time.
“I didn’t climb a tree or steal birds, but I did play tricks on my teacher. I was five or six years old. I drew a mustache for my teacher while he was sleeping, and then I was taught a lesson by my grandfather.”
Jun Shiling spoke slowly and very alluringly. Xia Wanyuan listened intently and found it very interesting.
When one didn’t dig for memories, they would never think of it. When they dug back, the memory fragments jumped into their minds one by one.
“I couldn’t tell. I thought you were a little adult.” Xia Wanyuan listened intently and didn’t notice that more than half an hour had passed.
The Jun Shiling tonight seemed especially approachable. It was as if the glacier in front of him had been removed, allowing people to see that this man, who stood at the peak of the era, also had a warm and natural side to him.
The child that Jun Shiling had mentioned about teasing the teacher, who had climbed over the wall and snuck away, was far from the Jun Shiling that Xia Wanyuan knew. However, after hearing what he said, Xia Wanyuan felt as if she had touched a more real Jun Shiling.
“You haven’t climbed a tree, but I have. At that time at the pal…” Xia Wanyuan was reminded of her memories by Jun Shiling’s description. She almost said the word ‘palace’ but paused in time.” At home, I always brought my younger brother to climb trees and look for bird’s nests. In the summer, I went to the pond to catch fish…”
When she was young, she had her parents and siblings. That was the belief that she had always kept in her heart.
Speaking of those days where she climbed trees, picked flowers, and played tricks on her teacher, the corners of Xia Wanyuan’s eyes flickered with vividness.
As Xia Wanyuan spoke, she gestured to Jun Shiling about the size of the fish she had caught and the flowers she had picked.
Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan’s gorgeous figure under the light, his eyes shining brightly. It was as if there was a gentle glow surrounding her, and the warmth that came from her made his heart ache.
A smile appeared in Jun Shiling’s eyes as he patiently listened to Xia Wanyuan talk about her past that he did not understand.
Uncle Wang originally wanted to go and change the tea for Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan, but he saw from afar that Jun Shiling, who was dressed warmly and had a smile on his face, was listening attentively to Xia Wanyuan.
The two of them seemed to be born in harmony. The peaceful atmosphere made people feel that looking at them from afar disturbed them.
Uncle Wang tactfully lightened his footsteps and walked away.
The moment Xia Yu’s live-stream ended, the video of Xia Wanyuan playing the piano had already attracted attention online.
At first, everyone was paying attention to Xia Wanyuan’s Feng Xiqin.
After all, Feng Xiqin had only been recorded in historical books. Whether it really existed or not was disputed in the history world.
Now, the Xia family’s corporation had already been successfully restructured and had become active in the stock market.
Hence, the rumor that Xia Wanyuan had used a fake to deceive others was false. After all, Xia Wanyuan was considered rich now.
Regarding this, someone specially sent Xia Wanyuan’s video to the Ancient Zither Research Association and asked the experts to evaluate it. When they heard that the Feng Xiqin had appeared, the experts worked overtime overnight and held up magnifying glasses to study the Ancient Zither in all aspects.
In the end, they concluded that it was the real Feng Xiqin.
[666666]
[ Tycoon, I’m impressed. ]
[ Why are you so rich? Damn, can anyone tell me how much this Feng Xiqin costs? ]
[ The one in front, I heard that the previous ancient zither was auctioned at 120 million RMB. ]
[ Oh my god, no wonder the piano sound so good!! The song Xia Wanyuan sang was also nice. Does anyone know the name of that song? I’m going to search for it and download it. ]
However, after looking around, no one could find the original song of the one Xia Wanyuan sang.
