Chapter 197 - Ten Thousand Lanterns For You

It was rare for Jun Shiling to get off work early, so he brought Xiao Bao back to the manor.
Jun Shiling held the little child's hand and disappeared from sight. No one had recovered from the shock of seeing Jun Shiling.
"I only saw the news last time. So Jun Shiling's son is really in this school."
"Who would have thought that my son is in the same class as his son? I couldn't tell normally. If not for what happened to Madam Wang last time… Sigh, speaking of that matter, how is the Wang family?"
"I heard that the Wang family hasn't been doing well recently. That Wang Kuan is from the branch to begin with. Why would the main branch of the Wang family care about him? Recently, his company is about to go bankrupt. Cheng Wu, who scolded Jun Shiling's son, was divorced by the Wang family. She's really living quite miserably now."
"Tsk, they're really bold to provoke Jun Shiling's son."
"We have to remind our child not to provoke that child from the Jun family. If he gets into trouble, the entire family will regret it."
...…..
He was delayed in picking Xiao Bao up and there was also a traffic jam. By the time he returned to the manor, the sky was already dark.
"You're back?" Xia Wanyuan had just finished preparing the food and asked the servants to bring it to the table when she saw Jun Shiling walk in with Xiao Bao. "We're just in time for dinner."
"Mommy, did you cook again today?"
After receiving Xia Wanyuan's nod of approval, Xiao Bao cheered and jumped up. "Mommy, I love the food you make the most! The food you make is the best in the world!"
Facing Xia Wanyuan, Xiao Bao had endless praises.
When he sat at the table, Jun Shiling realized that there was a small bowl of noodles in front of him.
The strong fragrance of the soup rose from the porcelain bowl. The handmade noodles were soaked in the pale-colored soup very alluringly, and there was a chubby egg lying on the surface.
Jun Shiling was a little puzzled, but the habit he had developed over the past few days was that he could eat up anything Xia Wanyuan did.
Jun Shiling immediately picked up the noodles with his chopsticks and was surprised to find that this small bowl of noodles was actually one entire piece. Without any doubts, Jun Shiling ate the long noodle.
There was not much noodles. After eating the bowl of noodles, the servant served Jun Shiling rice.
When Jun Shiling stretched out his chopsticks, he felt that something was wrong.
The dishes today were all my favorite.
Jun Shiling was not picky about food and was not particular about what he ate. In the past, the chefs in the manor had always provided his meals according to the recipes given by the nutritionist.
Furthermore, very few people in the manor knew Jun Shiling's true preferences.
Jun Shiling glanced at Xia Wanyuan, who smiled. "Try my food and see if it's nice."
He stretched out his chopsticks and tasted them one by one. Jun Shiling nodded. "It's delicious."
Even the savory flavor was my preference.
A surge of warmth surged into Jun Shiling's heart, and his eyes turned much gentler.
Xiao Bao ate exceptionally quickly that day. Before Jun Shiling could put down his bowl, Xiao Bao quickly put down his chopsticks and ran upstairs.
Not long after, Xiao Bao ran down and placed a box in front of Jun Shiling. He looked a little embarrassed. "Daddy, this is for you. You can look at it when I sleep ~"
Jun Shiling took the box and acknowledged.
After Xiao Bao gave Jun Shiling something, he thought of the cartoon he had watched in kindergarten.
Only a brat would disturb his parents' private time. I am not a brat, and I am very obedient. Besides, the kindergarten was going to have a spring trip tomorrow, so I have to sleep early and wake up early. Thinking of this, Xiao Bao stopped pestering Xia Wanyuan and obediently followed the nanny to wash up and prepare to sleep.
If it was a normal night, Jun Shiling would continue working in the study after dinner.
But today, Jun Shiling felt that Xia Wanyuan was a little different from usual, so he did not go upstairs but waited by the side.
An hour later, Xia Wanyuan's phone notification rang.
Xia Wanyuan clicked on it. "It's ready."
"Let's go out for a walk," Xia Wanyuan called out to Jun Shiling, who stood up and followed.
The manor was rather large, and an entire river surrounded the manor.
In the early summer season, the air was filled with the fragrance of plants.
In the past, the manor was always brightly lit. It was a little abnormal today. On the way, the lights were basically dark.
Xia Wanyuan walked to a limestone slab near the water and stood still. There seemed to be something on the limestone slab, but at night, it was not very clear.
"This is?" The Xia Wanyuan tonight made Jun Shiling a little puzzled, and he could not help but ask.
"When I was very young, there was a custom in my hometown." Xia Wanyuan turned around and looked at Jun Shiling. "On a person's birthday, if ten thousand lanterns are lit, that person will live a peaceful life."
Xia Wanyuan sighed. She only knew from the very complete document that Uncle Wang had given her that it was actually Jun Shiling's birthday today, but she had never heard Jun Shiling mention it.
Xia Wanyuan secretly went to ask Uncle Wang. Only then did she know that ever since Jun Shiling's parents passed away, Old Master Jun was still in charge of the Jun Corporation at that time and had no time to care about Jun Shiling.
Every year, Jun Shiling would spend his birthday alone in the huge house. After a few years, Jun Shiling would no longer celebrate his birthday.
After such a long time, even Jun Shiling had forgotten which day his birthday was.
When people in the Xia Dynasty celebrated their birthdays, their relatives would usually cook a bowl of longevity noodles and then accompany them to light a lantern to pray for their blessings for their birthday.
There was no time to prepare more things, so Xia Wanyuan used the method from her previous life to celebrate Jun Shiling's birthday.
"Happy birthday, Jun Shiling."
Just as Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, light suddenly lit up at the bend in the river in front.
Lanterns floated over from afar in rows. There were more and more of them, as if they were endless.
Soon, the river was filled with lanterns. The originally dark night sky became bright under the illumination of these ten thousand lanterns.
Standing on the limestone, Xia Wanyuan's eyes also became clear. She had a sweet smile and beautiful eyes.
Jun Shiling didn't know how to describe his feelings at that moment.
He wanted to hug this person in front of him tightly and embed her in his heart forever, never letting go.
That was what he thought and did.
Xia Wanyuan was still wondering why Jun Shiling had no reaction when Jun Shiling pulled her into his arms.
Unlike the gentleness when he was drunk the last time, Jun Shiling held her tightly in his arms this time as if he had used all his strength.
