Chapter 970: Courage From the Princess
Hearing the commotion, Xia Wanyuan looked up and smiled at Wei Jin. “You’re here.”
Xia Wanyuan liked Wei Jin very much. In her heart, Wei Jin was one of her own, so her attitude towards her was very natural. She sat on the ground and did not move.
“Cousin, CEO Jun.” Over the past two days, there was finally a sincere smile in Wei Jin’s eyes.
“Why are you calling him CEO Jun? Call him Cousin-in-law.” Xia Wanyuan put away her book and blinked at Wei Jin with a smile.
Wei Jin was stunned. In terms of seniority, Jun Shiling was indeed her cousin-in-law. However, in terms of strength, she felt that she did not have the right to call Jun Shiling her cousin-in-law.
Xia Wanyuan nudged Jun Shiling with her elbow. Only then did Jun Shiling look up and nod at Wei Jin.
“Cousin-in-law.” Wei Jin smiled and bowed to Jun Shiling.

“Xiao Bao, call Auntie Wei.” Xia Wanyuan pinched Xiao Bao’s face.
Xiao Bao, who was focused on the toys, looked at Wei Jin. His big eyes suddenly lit up.
What a beautiful auntie!!!
“Hello, Auntie Wei!! Auntie Wei, you’re so beautiful. I like you so much.” Xiao Bao’s mouth was as sweet as honey.
Wei Jin had always known that Xia Wanyuan had a child, but she had never seen him before. Now that Xiao Bao was looking at her with sparkling eyes, love immediately surged from her chest. “Hello, Xiao Bao. Auntie Wei likes you very much too.”
“You guys chat first. I’m going to the study. I’ll come down and eat with you later.” Thinking that Wei Jin and Xia Wanyuan should have something to say, Jun Shiling stood up and picked up Xiao Bao, who was looking at Auntie Wei eagerly.
Xiao Bao struggled a few times but could not break free from Jun Shiling’s demonic claws. He could only accept his fate and carry the toy upstairs. Before he left, he waved at Wei Jin. “Pretty Auntie Wei, let’s have dinner together tonight!”
“Okay ~” Wei Jin smiled in response to Xiao Bao. Only when Jun Shiling and Xiao Bao disappeared into the stairwell did Wei Jin turn around.
Xia Wanyuan patted the seat beside her. “Sit down and talk.”
Wei Jin sat beside Xia Wanyuan. “Cousin, I’m so envious of you.”
“Everyone has their own life. You don’t have to envy me.”
“But I don’t have your courage or freedom.” Wei Jin looked disappointed.
Ever since she was young, she had been a controlled puppet. She had read so many books and seen so much of the world. In the end, she would only become a tool to please others.
“Why don’t you try to trust others? Or believe in your own choice,” Xia Wanyuan said meaningfully.
Wei Jin was stunned and hesitated. “Can I?”
Xia Wanyuan asked, “Can’t you?”
Wei Jin was silent.
Xia Wanyuan did not say anything else and changed the topic. “Stay for dinner tonight. Xiao Bao quite likes you.”
After all, Xiao Bao loved beauty, and liked beautiful brothers and sisters.
“Okay.” Wei Jin smiled at Xia Wanyuan. Compared to when she had first arrived, the confusion and struggle in her eyes had disappeared, and there was a hint of clarity.
The ultimate beauty-obsessed Xiao Bao liked this new beautiful Auntie Wei very much. He did not even cling to Xia Wanyuan anymore. He followed Wei Jin left and right, making Wei Jin extremely happy.
When they left the manor, Wei Jin looked much more relaxed, as if many shackles had been removed.
“Thank you, Cousin.” Wei Jin thanked Xia Wanyuan from the bottom of her heart.
She had always thought that big families like theirs were not qualified to have love. In big families, male power was above all, and benefits were the priority.
The so-called marriage was just a cover to cover up everything.
However, Xia Wanyuan made her see another possibility in this world.
“Madam, we’ve already arranged a car. Miss Wei, please follow me.” Uncle Wang walked forward and prepared to send Wei Jin home.
However, Xia Wanyuan waved her hand. “Uncle Wang, just send Miss Wei to the door.”
“Okay.” Although he did not know what Xia Wanyuan meant, Uncle Wang obeyed Xia Wanyuan like he obeyed Jun Shiling.
Wei Jin was sent to the door. She glanced at the roadside and saw Mu Feng’s silver sports car.
Night was gradually falling. Under the street lamp, there was a red dot outside the open car window. Mu Feng seemed to be in a daze and did not even notice Wei Jin approaching.
It was only when Wei Jin opened the car door and sat in the front passenger seat that Mu Feng snapped out of his daze and hurriedly stubbed out his cigarette. “Why didn’t you play for a while more?”
Wei Jin did not speak, so Mu Feng could only shut his mouth. He cursed himself for being nosy and offending Wei Jin again.
The car was filled with the faint smell of tobacco. The heater was on in the car, and Wei Jin seemed to be dizzy from the heater. An inexplicable thought suddenly popped up in her mind.
What does smoke smell like?
Perhaps because she had obtained the courage to break free from Xia Wanyuan’s shackles, Wei Jin’s thoughts were extremely erratic. She thought that since she had never tasted tobacco, she might as well try it.
“What does tobacco smell like?” Wei Jin suddenly turned to look at Mu Feng.
“Huh?” Mu Feng was stunned. He clearly did not expect Wei Jin to ask this question. He picked up the cigarette box beside him and threw it out. “I smoke occasionally. Don’t learn to smoke. This is not good for your health…”
Mu Feng rambled on. His androgynous face clearly looked like that of an otherworldly playboy, but under his unrestrained skin was sincere concern.
Mu Feng spoke for a long time, but Wei Jin did not reply. Mu Feng stopped talking. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said so much. I spoke too much. I’ll send-”
Before Mu Feng could finish speaking, Wei Jin, who had been sitting in the front passenger seat, suddenly leaned over.
A warmth landed on Mu Feng’s lips
