Princess is Glamorous in Modern Day

Chapter 237: The Princess Is Drunk, Master Jun Wants to Cry

Although it was called a gathering, it was actually just a simple dessert and supper. Everyone could chat and take photos together.

After all, this was a ceremony and everyone was dressed up.

Especially for actresses, the dresses they wore were all rather expensive. One of them could cost hundreds of thousands or even millions. Furthermore, many of these dresses did not belong to them. They had borrowed them from brands.

Although the clothes on the male actors were lighter than evening gowns with oversized skirts, they were still expensive.

Hong’an Hotel, which was beside the Hong’an auditorium, was only a few steps away. It was undoubtedly the best place for everyone.

Director Yang brought everyone to the restaurant and booked a private room. There were eleven people, and they sat at the same table.

“Director, I’m going to the bathroom.” When they arrived at the private room, Director Yang was chatting with everyone when Ruan Yingyu walked out the door.

Xia Wanyuan glanced at Ruan Yingyu, who was struggling to move forward with the hem of her dress, and raised an eyebrow.

“It’s been a long time since we wrapped up filming.” Director Yang was a little emotional. “The reason why the drama ‘The Long Ballad’ could achieve such results today is all thanks to everyone’s hard work.”

“Director Yang, you’re the best.”

“Thank you, everyone. After filming this drama, although we will still be in the same industry in the future, I’m afraid there will be very few opportunities to meet. It’s also rare for us to gather like today. Everyone, take care of yourselves in the future.”

After Director Yang finished speaking, he pulled everyone to take a photo together.

“Director Yang, Ruan Yingyu isn’t back yet.” Just as he finished speaking, Ruan Yingyu appeared at the door.

“Sorry to have kept you waiting.” Ruan Yingyu smiled apologetically and hurriedly sat down.

“Come, waiter, bring the wine glasses over. After everyone drinks this dish, we will have to throw away the journey of ‘The Long Ballad’ and walk towards the updated road.”

As Director Yang spoke, the waiter at the side began to distribute the fruit wine on the plate.

Starting from Director Yang, they distributed the drinks one by one. When it came to Xia Wanyuan, there were only two glasses left on the plate. Sitting beside Xia Wanyuan was Ruan Yingyu.

The waiter nervously reached for the wine on the plate. However, for some reason, his wrist lost strength and the plate fell. Xia Wanyuan reached out to help catch it.

“Be careful.” Xia Wanyuan smiled faintly, making the waiter blush.

“Miss, this is your wine.” The waiter placed the fruit wine in front of Xia Wanyuan with a flushed face and placed the remaining glass in front of Ruan Yingyu.

“Here, cheers.” Director Yang raised his glass and everyone clinked glasses.

With a click, the camera recorded the moment the production team gathered.

In her previous life, Xia Wanyuan’s alcohol tolerance was excellent. After drinking, she neither blushed nor drank. Hence, Xia Wanyuan drank the entire glass of fruit wine.

Ruan Yingyu watched from the side as Xia Wanyuan finished the wine in her cup. A look of victory flashed across her eyes. She picked up the cup in front of her and took a sip of the wine.

After drinking, Director Yang chatted with everyone for a while. It was almost 11 o’clock.

Initially, everyone did not think much of it. Now that they had really parted, an indescribable bitterness surged in their hearts.

Qin Wu secretly glanced at Xia Wanyuan, his eyes filled with bitterness.

“Hopefully we’ll meet again.” Director Yang cupped his hands at everyone and left the room.

Xia Wanyuan held her skirt and slowly walked out the door.

“It’s getting late. Wanyuan, why don’t I send you back?” Qin Wu hesitated before following Xia Wanyuan and asking.

“Thank you for your kindness, but my manager and the rest are waiting for me.” Xia Wanyuan smiled. If Qin Wu sent me off, we would probably be on the headlines tomorrow.

“Okay, then you, be careful and have a good rest tonight.” Qin Wu held back for a long time and didn’t know what to say. He could only say a few words of concern. However, on second thought, Xia Wanyuan had a boyfriend. Wasn’t my concern unnecessary? He immediately felt a little annoyed.

“Thank you for your concern.” Xia Wanyuan felt his kindness and immediately thanked Qin Wu seriously.

Seeing the seriousness in Xia Wanyuan’s eyes, Qin Wu’s heart was happy and sour.

She was too good. So good that even if she didn’t like me, I still feel that she is a very good person.

Qin Wu was about to say something when a black Phantom suddenly honked.

Xia Wanyuan turned around and looked, her eyes filled with smiles. “Someone’s here to pick me up. I’ll get going first. Goodbye.” Then, she walked towards the black car.

When Qin Wu saw the hint of a warm smile in Xia Wanyuan’s eyes, his heart had already turned cold. He could only stand on the spot and watch Xia Wanyuan leave sadly.

Jun Shiling knew that Xia Wanyuan had a ceremony today, so he didn’t go home directly after work. He watched the live broadcast of the ceremony in his office and estimated that it was almost over, so he came to pick her up.

Who would have thought that as soon as he arrived, he would see Xia Wanyuan smiling at Qin Wu? Jun Shiling’s heart instantly felt as if it had been soaked in Old Chen’s vinegar for thirty years, sour and angry.

However, looking at Xia Wanyuan, who was dressed in a starry dress and slowly walking over under the moonlight, Jun Shiling felt that the anger in his heart had been suppressed.

“Why are you here?” The chauffeur opened the door for Xia Wanyuan, who sat in and took the teacup from Jun Shiling before taking a sip of hot tea.

“It’s too late, it’s not safe,” Jun Shiling replied calmly, then instructed the chauffeur, “Let’s go.”

“Okay, Master Jun.”

Sitting in the warm carriage, without the clarity of the night breeze, Xia Wanyuan felt her mind begin to turn chaotic. The aftertaste of the cup of fruit wine began to kick in.

Xia Wanyuan felt that her limbs were a little weak, and her face gradually flushed red from being drunk.

In her previous life, Xia Wanyuan had a good alcohol tolerance, so she drank a large glass of wine without worry.

However, what she did not know was that the original owner of the body could not hold her liquor well. The night the original owner of the body died of alcohol poisoning, she only drank three glasses.

Xia Wanyuan did not speak, and Jun Shiling leaned back in his seat with his eyes closed.

Caught off guard, he felt a moist and warm breath on his neck. A pair of warm arms wrapped around his waist.

Jun Shiling opened his eyes abruptly and saw Xia Wanyuan wrapped around him. His throat tightened. “Xia Wanyuan?”

After the previous lesson, the chauffeur had learned his lesson. The moment he sensed something amiss, he raised the partition between the front and back seats.

Hehe, I didn’t see anything this time.

Xia Wanyuan, who had already fallen into a deep stupor, only wanted to hug her pillow and sleep.

But why did this pillow not feel too soft? Am I wrong? Xia Wanyuan’s hand slowly groped around.

That pair of soft hands slowly touched his chest from his waist and slid down again. Just as it was about to cross his waist and continue moving down, Jun Shiling’s entire body was already tensed up.

“Xia Wanyuan!” Jun Shiling grabbed Xia Wanyuan’s hand and lifted her chin. He saw a blur of drunkenness in her eyes.

The fragrance of the fruit wine wafted out of her nose, and her red lips were as alluring as the most delicious cherry.
