Chapter 999: Princess’s Costume Shocks the Internet

The sunlight outside was warm, but it could not shine into this deep room. Light shone in from the high window.

Jun Shiling stood still. Bo Xiao sat on the ground with blood at the corners of his lips. Similarly, he did not speak.

“Have you thought about An Rao?” After a while, Jun Shiling spoke again.

Bo Xiao, who was on the ground, was instantly stunned. His fox-like eyes, which were always smiling, had lost their light. Bo Xiao lowered his head. “I let her down, and I let you down.”

As Bo Xiao spoke, his fingers gripped the ground tightly, leaving a white mark on the cement floor.

Jun Shiling’s eyes were deep as he looked at Bo Xiao quietly. “You really disappointed me.”

“Mm.” Bo Xiao lowered his head, making it impossible to see his expression. However, the dispirited and painful aura around him could not be ignored.

“I’m leaving.” Jun Shiling seemed to be unable to stay in this room anymore and turned to leave.

“Wait.” Bo Xiao stopped Jun Shiling. “Can you help me hide it from An Rao? At least tell her after she gives birth.” As he spoke, Bo Xiao’s eyes turned red.

Jun Shiling did not speak. He paused for a moment before leaving.

Jun Shiling had just left the seventh prison when the prison fell into chaos.

Because Jun Shiling had kicked too hard, Bo Xiao was seriously injured and sent to the hospital for treatment.

The manor.

An Rao hugged a sour plum jar and frowned. “Sister, Bo Xiao hasn’t called me for a few days.”

“Maybe he’s busy.” Xia Wanyuan’s hands did not stop moving. As she drew, she comforted An Rao.

“But I miss him.” Pregnant women were extremely sensitive. An Rao’s nose turned sour and her eyes turned red.

The dog man said that he wanted to accompany me until the child was born, but in the end, he disappeared again. 

Helpless, Xia Wanyuan could only let Mother Li go upstairs and pull Xiao Bao down from his homework.

“Play with your Auntie An Rao.”

Xiao Bao: “Okay!”

“Auntie An Rao, fairies can’t cry. I’ll sing for you!”

An Rao was amused by Xiao Bao and began to play with Xiao Bao happily.

Xia Wanyuan was about to continue painting when she received a message from Jun Shiling. He was not coming back for dinner tonight.

Xia Wanyuan felt that something was wrong and replied, “Okay.”

When it was time for dinner, An Rao and Xiao Bao were at home. Xia Wanyuan personally made a few dishes to send to Jun Shiling.

When she pushed open the office door, Jun Shiling was not busy at his desk. Instead, he stood in front of the window. His tall back revealed a deepness that Xia Wanyuan could not understand.

“Put the documents on the table.” Jun Shiling thought that Lin Jing had entered and did not even turn around.

However, in the next second, a pair of hands wrapped around his waist. Jun Shiling turned around and met Xia Wanyuan’s clear eyes.

Xia Wanyuan did not ask him what had happened. If Jun Shiling wanted to tell her, he would tell her sooner or later.

She only hugged Jun Shiling’s waist quietly and leaned into his arms.

Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan back, as if he wanted to draw strength from her, hugging her tightly.

After a while, Xia Wanyuan pulled Jun Shiling to eat. “I specially made it for you. Hubby, give me some face and have a bite?”

“Okay.”

Xia Wanyuan rarely called him Hubby, but Jun Shiling liked to hear it. Jun Shiling knew that Xia Wanyuan was coaxing him.

“Is it delicious?” Xia Wanyuan picked up a piece of meat and fed it to Jun Shiling with a smile in her eyes.

“Delicious.” Jun Shiling bit the meat.

Although Jun Shiling did not have much of an appetite, he still ate all the food Xia Wanyuan brought.

After dinner, Jun Shiling did not go to work. Instead, he hugged Xia Wanyuan and sat on the sofa.

Xia Wanyuan leaned on Jun Shiling’s shoulder. “I love you.”

“Thank you.” Jun Shiling tightened his grip.

Thank God there’s still you. (italics)

Not only did the news of the Jun Corporation investing a huge sum of money to film an ancient movie cause a sensation in the entertainment industry, but as the largest business empire in the country, every movement of the Jun Corporation brought about a shock to the capital market.

The capital market this time was clearly not optimistic about the huge investment of the Jun Corporation.

There were very few scripts that could be filmed well in ancient movies. Furthermore, when everyone saw the name of the movie, “Eldest Princess”, they knew that this was a female lead movie.

There were no sci-fi elements, no lingering love, and no thrilling cases to solve. No matter how one looked at it, it was destined to be an unpopular movie.

However, due to Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan’s high popularity, the industry’s evaluation could still recoup the cost. However, it was impossible to make a profit, let alone walk into the international market.

Up until now, there had not been a movie in China that could really leave the country and enter the international market. Even sci-fi movies could not do it, let alone ancient dramas.

[Tsk, tsk, tsk. Are the industry insiders starting again? CEO Jun spent some money to make his wife happy. Look at how excited you are. How can you analyze this? What can you do even if you don’t profit?]

[ So what if you’re rich? Didn’t you earn so much money from the commoners? You took billions to film and play for Xia Wanyuan. How many children can you save if you donate so much money to the mountains? ]

[ The kind people on Weibo in front are starting again? Before talking about others, look at yourself first. How much have you donated? They don’t steal or rob money. They want to spend it on whoever they want. Just be jealous. ]

While everyone was arguing on the Internet, the movie “Eldest Princess” suddenly appeared and posted a few photos.

@ Eldest Princess: “Welcome, Your Highness. @ Xia Wanyuan.”

There were four photos on Weibo.

In the first picture, Xia Wanyuan, who was wearing a light pink dress, was lying curiously on the corner building. She looked at the bustling crowd outside the palace. The beautiful clothes were only a foil to her noble aura. Her beautiful eyes were filled with the morning dew. She was innocent and pure, making one wonder what kind of noble and honorable favor had raised such a beautiful little princess.

The second picture was a huge contrast to the first. Xia Wanyuan was wearing a simple linen shirt. It could be seen that the fabric was very rough, but it was very clean. She sat by the stream and washed her clothes. She did not put on any makeup, and her straight spine was not bent at all. Sitting in the wilderness, she had an extraordinary bearing.

In the third picture, Xia Wanyuan had long hair tied up and her face was stained with blood. She was riding a horse and holding a spear in her hand, her sharp killing intent surging.

In the fourth picture, there was an obvious sense of solemnity. Xia Wanyuan was wearing a dark-colored palace dress and sitting in the high hall. Her Highness was a civil and military official, and she knelt and bowed down. There was no exaggerated expression on her face, but there was a very dignified look in the picture.

The heated debate stopped just like that. Everyone’s attention was attracted by the few photos posted by the official Weibo.
